Abstract

Utilizing vision systems at a wellsite, which may include operating a video camera to generate a video signal comprising images of one or more pieces of equipment or components and receiving the video signal by a processing system, which may then process the images to determine physical and/or operational characteristics associated with the one or more pieces of equipment in the images. The video signal may contain images of a crown block and/or a drawworks of a hoisting system at an oil and gas drill rig. The processing system may then process the video signal to determine when a traveling block of the hoisting system is within a threshold distance from the crown block.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE[0001]Wells are generally drilled into the ground or ocean bed to recover natural deposits of oil, gas, and other materials that are trapped in subterranean formations. Well construction operations (e.g., drilling operations) may be performed at a wellsite by a drilling system having various surface and subterranean equipment operating in a coordinated manner. The wellsite equipment may be grouped into various subsystems, wherein each subsystem performs a different operation controlled by a corresponding local and / or a remotely located controller.[0002]A video system, such as a CCTV system, comprising a plurality of video cameras distributed at various locations at a wellsite is utilized to display selected wellsite equipment on one or more video monitors to facilitate viewing of the wellsite equipment and progress of the well construction operations. For example, a human wellsite operator (e.g., a driller) may utilize the video system to visually monitor...
