Monitor and control of directional drilling operations and simulations

摘要

Various embodiments include apparatus and methods that use hand mobile communications device with respect to a drilling operation at a drilling site. Data with respect to one or more sensors downhole at a drilling site can be wirelessly received in the hand mobile communications device. Representations of the received data can be displayed on a graphical user interface screen of the hand mobile communications device. The representations can include displaying the data in a graphical representation, a numerical representation, or a graphical and numerical representation on the graphical user interface screen. Additional apparatus, systems, and methods are disclosed.
