1. A wellsite system, comprising:
- a bulk material transporter comprising;
a supply of a bulk material, wherein the bulk material comprises combustion engine fuel;
a meter operable to measure output of the bulk material from the supply; and
a data logger operable to log the output as a function of a predetermined parameter;
a mobile tagger operable to assign a plurality of transfer parameters to each of a plurality of transfers of the bulk material from the supply to corresponding ones of a plurality of assets located at the wellsite, wherein the plurality of transfer parameters includes the output measured by the meter; and
an uplink operable to wirelessly transmit data from the log and the plurality of transfer parameters to remote data storage not located at the wellsite, the uplink further operable to synchronize the data from the bulk material transporter and the mobile tagger with respect to time prior to transmitting the synchronized data to the remote data storage.

Abstract
A wellsite system that includes a bulk material transporter, a mobile tagger, and an uplink. The bulk material transporter includes a supply of a bulk material, a meter to measure output from the supply, and a data logger to log the output as a function of a predetermined parameter. The mobile tagger assigns transfer parameters to each transfer of the bulk material from the supply to one of multiple assets located at the wellsite, including the output measured by the meter. The uplink wirelessly transmits data from the log and the transfer parameters to remote data storage not located at the wellsite.

12. A method, comprising:
-
selecting one of a plurality of wellsite assets at a wellsite to receive a resupply of a bulk material; operating a motor vehicle to position a supply of the bulk material proximate the selected one of the plurality of wellsite assets, wherein the motor vehicle is powered by the bulk material; resupplying the bulk material by transferring a measured amount of the bulk material output from the supply to the selected one of the plurality of wellsite assets; generating a log of the output of the bulk material as a function of a predetermined parameter; operating a mobile tagger to assign a plurality of transfer parameters to the transfer, wherein the plurality of transfer parameters includes the measured amount of the bulk material output from the supply to the selected one of the plurality of wellsite assets; wirelessly transmitting data from the log and the plurality of transfer parameters to remote data storage not located at the wellsite; synchronizing the data from the log and the plurality of transfer parameters with respect to time; and permitting access to the wirelessly transmitted, synchronized data by multiple users in different locations via at least one network, wherein the multiple users have different data access levels. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16)
