Simultaneous Operations Coordination and Planning System

摘要

A networked system shares operational information (tasks, positions, times, etc.) between dissimilar operators performing dissimilar operations in a same marine field. The shared information include associations (linkages and conflicts) that allows each operator to optimize its operations and complete tasks in a more efficient manner. As part of this system, a planning tool having a graphical user interface can be used to visualize plans at an operator (and nearby operators). Changes made to plans by one operator are shared with other operators via the system and illustrated in the interface at the other operators, thereby allowing the other operators to make their own respective operational changes in response.

主权项

1. A method of coordinating dissimilar operations conducted by a plurality of dissimilar marine operators in a same marine field, the method comprising:
obtaining, with a network system, operational information associated with the dissimilar operations conducted by the dissimilar marine operators in the same marine field; structuring, with the network system, the obtained operational information; determining, with the network system, associations between the structured operational information for the dissimilar marine operators; and sharing, with the network system, the determined associations with the dissimilar marine operators.
