First Claim
1. An apparatus, comprising:
- an oilfield equipment maintenance module structured to interpret a maintenance schedule for a unit of oilfield equipment;
a nominal performance module structured to interpret a nominal performance description for the unit of oilfield equipment;
an equipment monitoring module structured to determine a plurality of current operating conditions of the unit of oilfield equipment;
an equipment status module structured to determine a condition of the unit of oilfield equipment in response to the nominal performance description and the plurality of current operating conditions using a multivariate analysis; and
wherein the oilfield equipment maintenance module is further structured to adjust the maintenance schedule for the unit of oilfield equipment in response to the condition of the unit of oilfield equipment.

Abstract
A system for oilfield equipment asset utilization improvement includes a number of units of oilfield equipment, the units of oilfield equipment having a common equipment type. The system further includes a controller having an equipment confidence module that interprets a condition value corresponding to each of the units of oilfield equipment, a job requirement module that interprets a performance requirement for an oil field procedure, and an equipment planning module that selects a set of units from the number of units of oilfield equipment in response to the performance requirement for the oilfield procedure and the condition value corresponding to each of the units of oilfield equipment. The equipment planning module selects the set of units such that a procedure success confidence value exceeds a completion assurance threshold.
