Apparatus, computer readable media, and computer programs for estimating missing real-time data for intelligent fields

摘要

Apparatus, computer readable media, and computer programs for managing an intelligent field, are provided. An exemplary apparatus can include, for example, a computer configured to perform the operations of receiving well instrument data, processing the data, detecting a missing or faulty data period, applying a rule set and logics, estimating values for the missing or faulty data, validating the estimated values, and inserting the data in the data period.

主权项

1. Non-transitory computer readable medium having processor readable code embodied thereon for programming one or more processors to perform operations for managing an intelligent field, the processor readable code comprising a set of instructions, that when executed by one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to perform the operations of:
detecting faulty data from one of a plurality of well instruments for a well in an intelligent field defining a faulty well instrument; estimating data values in at least substantially real-time to provide as a substitute for at least portions of the faulty data associated with the faulty well instrument, the estimated data values being based upon observed substantially real-time well instrument data values of at least two other of the plurality of well instruments associated with the well in the intelligence field; and performing real-time dynamic data substitution responsive to the operations of detecting and estimating to thereby provide a substantially continuous stream of valid, reliable, and substantially complete well instrument data values for the faulty well instrument.
