System for monitoring a surface for gas and oil flow

摘要

A system for monitoring for gas and oil flow venting from a surface using time intervals, size and velocity, and using a processor with a data storage containing a bubble flow classification chart and bubble flow categories. The data storage receives at least one: video feed, drilling parameter data feed, seismic profile data feed, logging while drilling data feed, measurement while drilling data feed, sonar data feed, and hydrographic data feed to verify a determined bubble flow category and bubble flow classification as a baseline bubble flow classification and provides an alarm when a bubble flow emergency is ascertained due to a change in bubble flow classification without an anticipated change or changes outside predefined acceptable limits within the video feed, drilling parameter data feed, seismic profile data feed, logging while drilling data feed, sonar data feed, hydrographic data feed, or measurement while drilling data feed.

1. A system for monitoring for gas and oil flow venting from a surface, wherein the system comprises:
a. a video feed from a video capture device; b. an analysis processor connected to a network for receiving the video feed; c. an analysis data storage connected to the analysis processor, wherein the analysis data storage is a non-transitory computer readable medium; d. computer instructions in the analysis data storage to receive a first bubble observed time inputted into the analysis processor when a first bubble is observed to flow from the surface; e. computer instructions in the analysis data storage to receive and store the video feed in the analysis data storage; f. a plurality of bubble flow categories in the analysis data storage providing a plurality of bubble time intervals, bubble sizes, and bubble velocities; g. a bubble flow classification chart in the analysis data storage providing a plurality of bubble flow classifications of bubble flow from the surface; h. computer instructions in the analysis data storage for comparing the video feed during a first time interval from the first bubble observed time to the plurality of bubble flow categories, identifying a bubble flow classification from the bubble flow classification chart that most closely matches the video feed during a first time interval, and designating the bubble flow classification as a baseline bubble flow classification for the surface; i. computer instructions in the analysis data storage for comparing the video feed during a subsequent time period from a subsequent first bubble observed time to the plurality of bubble flow categories, identifying a subsequent bubble flow classification from the bubble flow classification chart that most closely matches the video feed during a subsequent time interval; j. computer instructions in the analysis data storage to compare the subsequent bubble flow classification from the subsequent time period to the baseline bubble flow classification, and if the baseline bubble flow classification is different the computer instructions designate the subsequent bubble flow classification as the baseline bubble flow classification and generate an alert; k. computer instructions in the analysis data storage to use data feeds from at least one of: the video feed, a seismic profile data feed, a logging while drilling data feed, a measurement while drilling data feed, a drilling parameters data feed, a sonar data feed, or a hydrographic data feed to determine if anticipated changes or changes within predefined acceptable limits have occurred in the data feeds; l. computer instructions in the analysis data storage to form an alarm when the subsequent bubble flow classification differs from the baseline bubble flow classification and no anticipated changes or changes outside of predefined acceptable limits have occurred in the data feeds according to at least one: the video feed, the logging while drilling data feed, the seismic profile data feed, the drilling parameter data feed, the measurement while drilling data feed, the sonar data feed, or the hydrographic data feed; and m. computer instructions in the analysis data storage to transmit the alarm to the network and to at least one client device in communication with the network for immediate action.
