Method for remotely monitoring a site for anticipated failure and maintenance with a plurality of controls

摘要

A method to monitor a status from a secondary location of a plurality of equipment on a drilling site, while simultaneously enabling preventive maintenance is described herein. A user can view at least one cycle, at least one control state, and at least one pressure. The user can also view equipment information, equipment repair history, and other information necessary to ensure that a piece of equipment has minimal down time.

1. A method to monitor a status of a plurality of site equipment at a site from a secondary location while simultaneously enabling preventive maintenance on the plurality of site equipment being monitored, wherein the steps of the method comprise:
a. providing at a site:
(i) a data acquisition hardware for receiving and storing sensor data from at least one sensor attached to equipment at the site; and(ii) a site processor in communication with a site data storage and receiving sensor data from the data acquisition hardware in communication with a network; b. providing at a secondary location:
(i) an administrative server comprising an administrative processor and an administrative data storage in communication with the network; c. connecting at least one user client device to the administrative server via the network, wherein each user client device comprises a user display, a user processor, and a user data storage in communication with the user processor for viewing status and enabling maintenance for a plurality of equipment at a plurality of sites; and d. performing the steps:
(i) forming a database for sensor data in the site data storage using computer instructions in the site data storage;(ii) installing a plurality of site configuration libraries in the site data storage;(iii) creating a site based website in the site data storage;(iv) receiving and storing sensor data in the site data storage from at least one sensor attached to an equipment at the site;(v) receiving sensor data, verifying that the sensor data has been received and storing the sensor data in the database in the site data storage;(vi) tracking digital input using a digital input monitor;(vii) tracking analog input using an analog input monitor as step;(viii) tracking analog detail input using an analog detail monitor;(ix) transferring the digital input, the analog input, the analog detail input or combinations thereof using a data transfer device;(x) using a site task device to monitor the database, to identify a specific task and to perform the specific task;(xi) monitoring the digital input monitor, the analog input monitor, the analog detail monitor, the data transfer device and the site task device by using a site process monitor;(xii) having the site processor receive at least one request for status from the administrative processor;(xiii) having the site processor respond to the request for status by the administrative processor;(xiv) using administrative data storage at a secondary location in communication with an administrative processor, wherein the administrative processor implements a plurality of functionalities;(xv) installing a plurality of administrative configuration libraries in the administrative server;(xvi) forming an administrative database;(xvii) forming an administrative web server, wherein the web server receives, verifies and stores the plurality of site signals transmitted from the site processor;(xviii) transmitting at least one task to the site database using an administrative task transfer device;(xix) having the administrative processor receive a response from the site data storage;(xx) receiving sensor data, a message, a report, or combinations thereof from the site data storage;(xxi) combining the site configuration information with the plurality of site signals to generate site data for equipment at the site;(xxii) presenting at least one controls state to a user;(xxiii) presenting pressure data to a user;(xxiv) presenting control cycles to a user;(xxv) presenting at least one valve cycle to a user;(xxvi) using at least one user client device to communicate with a plurality of sites, wherein the user client device has a user display, a user processor, and a user data storage in communication with the user processor;(xxvii) presenting flow data to a user;(xxviii) presenting control or valve days in service to a user;(xxix) presenting temperature data to a user;(xxx) presenting stress data to a user; and(xxxi) presenting well information to a user.
