AERIAL DRONE FOR WELL-SITE AND SIGNAL SURVEY
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for surveying equipment and/or signals at well sites using an aerial drone, the method being executed using one or more processors and comprising:
- receiving, by the one or more processors, data provided from the aerial drone, the data comprising signal measurement data, location data, and one or more of image data and video data associated with a well-site;
processing, by the one or more processors, the data to provide one or more of a signal survey and a well-site survey associated with the well-site, the signal survey indicating a strength of a signal at multiple locations of the well-site, the well-site survey indicating one or more pieces of equipment located at the well-site; and
providing, by the one or more processors, the one or more of the signal survey and the well-site survey to provide an equipment schedule, the equipment schedule identifying equipment to be installed at the well-site and, for at least one piece of equipment, a location to install the at least one piece of equipment.

Abstract
Implementations are directed to surveying equipment and/or signals at well sites using an aerial drone. In some implementations, actions include receiving data provided from the aerial drone, the data including signal measurement data, location data, and one or more of image data and video data associated with a well-site, processing the data to provide one or more of a signal survey and a well-site survey associated with the well-site, the signal survey indicating a strength of a signal at multiple locations of the well-site, the well-site survey indicating one or more pieces of equipment located at the well-site, and providing the one or more of the signal survey and the well-site survey to provide an equipment schedule, the equipment schedule identifying equipment to be installed at the well-site and, for at least one piece of equipment, a location to install the at least one piece of equipment.

10. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium coupled to one or more processors and having instructions stored thereon which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations for surveying equipment and/or signals at well sites using an aerial drone, the operations comprising:
-
receiving data provided from the aerial drone, the data comprising signal measurement data, location data, and one or more of image data and video data associated with a well-site; processing the data to provide one or more of a signal survey and a well-site survey associated with the well-site, the signal survey indicating a strength of a signal at multiple locations of the well-site, the well-site survey indicating one or more pieces of equipment located at the well-site; and providing the one or more of the signal survey and the well-site survey to provide an equipment schedule, the equipment schedule identifying equipment to be installed at the well-site and, for at least one piece of equipment, a location to install the at least one piece of equipment. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14)
