System and method for displaying well data
First Claim
1. A method of delivering data from an energy industry or formation operation, comprising:
- receiving a data set representing parameter values generated during at least a portion of the operation;
generating at least one data structure on a display area, the at least one data structure providing a visual representation of at least a portion of the data set;
selecting a visual indicator associated with each of the at least one data structure, the visual indicator including information identifying an associated data structure;
iteratively determining a suitable location for placement of the visual indicator on the display area by a processor using a probabilistic algorithm; and
generating the display including the visual indicator located at the suitable position, wherein determining the suitable location includes, for each iteration, performing;
calculating a probability value based on at least a first cost value, a second cost value, and a time-varying parameter, the first cost value based on a current position relative to the at least one data structure, the second cost value based on a different position relative to the at least one data structure; and
moving the visual indicator from the current position to the different position in response to the probability value being at least a selected value.
