Abstract

An example process for data initialization for a drilling operation may include generating a pre-well job packet for the drilling operation. The pre-well job packet may include at least one of formatted well planning data, contractual data, and equipment data; and may be generated at a first information handling system located remotely from a site of the drilling operation. The pre-well job packet may be received at a second information handling system located at the site of the drilling operation. Data from the pre-well job packet may be automatically imported into a software application of the second information handling system.

Claims

1. A computer-implemented process for data initialization for a drilling operation, comprising:

generating a pre-well job packet for the drilling operation, wherein the pre-well job packet

comprises at least one of formatted well planning data, contractual data, and equipment data; and

is generated at a first information handling system located remotely from a site of the drilling operation;

receiving the pre-well job packet at a second information handling system located at the site of the drilling operation; and

automatically importing data from the pre-well job packet into a software application of the second information handling system.

2. The computer-implemented process of claim 1, wherein generating the pre-well job packet comprises receiving the well planning data in an Extensible Markup Language (XML) file exported from a data server.

3. The computer-implemented process of claim 1, wherein generating the pre-well job packet comprises receiving at least one of the contractual and equipment information in an SAP data export file.

4. The computer-implemented process of claim 1, wherein receiving the pre-well job packet comprises at least one of

receiving the pre-well job packet from a database communicably coupled to the second information handling system;

and

receiving the pre-well job packet from a storage device physically coupled to the second information handling system.

5. The computer-implemented process of claim 1, wherein generating the pre-well job packet comprises generating the pre-well job packet at a first job initialization application on the first information handling system.

6. The computer-implemented process of claim 5, wherein automatically importing data from the pre-well job packet comprises parsing the pre-well job packet at a second job initialization application on the second information handling system.

7. The computer-implemented process of claim 1, wherein

the well planning data comprises at least one of a formation survey, well trajectory, well target, and formation model;

the contractual data comprises at least one of lease information and personnel information; and

the equipment data comprises a list of at least some of the equipment to be used during the drilling operation.

8. The computer-implemented process of claim 1, wherein automatically importing data from the pre-well job packet into a software application of the second information handling system comprises importing data from the pre-well job packet into a workflow visualization program.

9. The computer-implemented process of claim 8, further comprising generating graphical visualization that includes data from the pre-well job packet.

10. The computer-implemented process of claim 1, further comprising

receiving an updated pre-well job packet at the second information handling system;

and

updating the software application with data from the updated pre-well job packet.

11. A system for data initialization for a drilling operation, comprising:

a first information handling system located remotely from a site of the drilling operation, the first information handling system comprising a first processor and a first memory device coupled to the processor, the first memory device containing a first set of instructions that, when executed by the first processor, cause the first processor to

receive at least one of well planning data, contractual data, and equipment data; and

generate a pre-well job packet for the drilling operation comprising at least one of formatted well planning data, contractual data, and equipment data; and

a second information handling system located at the site of the drilling operation, the second information handling system comprising a second processor and a second memory device coupled to the processor, the second memory device containing a second set of instructions that, when executed by the second processor, cause the second processor to

receive the pre-well job packet; and

automatically import data from the pre-well job packet into a workflow application.

12. The system of claim 11, wherein the first set of instructions that cause the first processor to receive at least one of well planning data, contractual data, and equipment data further cause the first processor to receive the well planning data as an Extensible Markup Language (XML) file exported from a data server.

13. The system of claim 11, wherein the first set of instructions that cause the first processor to receive at least one of well planning data, contractual data, and equipment data further cause the first processor to receive at least one of the contractual and equipment information in an SAP data export file.

14. The system of claim 11, wherein the second set of instructions that causes the second processor to receive the pre-well job packet further causes the second processor to at least one of

receive the pre-well job packet from a database communicably coupled to the second information handling system;

and

receive the pre-well job packet from a storage device physically coupled to the second information handling system.

15. The system of claim 11, wherein the first set of instructions that causes the first processor to generate the pre-well job packet for the drilling operation further causes the processor to generate the pre-well job packet using a first job initialization application.

16. The system of claim 15, wherein the second set of instructions that causes the second processor to automatically import data from the pre-well job packet further causes the second process to parse the pre-well job packet using a second job initialization application on the second information handling system.

17. The system of claim 11, wherein

the well planning data comprises at least one of a formation survey, well trajectory, well target, and formation model;

the contractual data comprises at least one of lease information and personnel information; and

the equipment data comprises a list of at least some of the equipment to be used during the drilling operation.

18. The system of claim 11, wherein the workflow application of the second information handling system comprises a workflow visualization software application.

19. The system of claim 18, wherein the second set of instructions further causes the second processor to generate a graphical visualization that includes data from the pre-well job packet.

20. The system of claim 11, wherein the second set of instructions further causes the second processor to

receive an updated pre-well job packet;

and

update the workflow application with data from the updated pre-well job packet.
