Configurable Drilling Data Widgets for EDR Systems
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic drilling recorder (EDR) systems lack user configurability, making it difficult to display data in a way that is impactful for specific users or groups during oil and gas wellbore operations.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that allows users to create customizable graphical widgets on a graphical user interface by correlating multiple data streams from sensors, enabling users to select and configure data streams, setpoints, and alarms, and display them in a configurable format.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If existing EDR systems use standard scroll graphs, annunciators, and gauges to display data, then real-time gauge readings are displayed, but user configurability is lacking
Solution Approach 1:
The display system is segmented into multiple independent graphical widgets (scroll graphs, gauges, annunciators, trend graphs) that can be individually configured and arranged. Each widget handles a specific data stream or function, allowing users to customize the display without overwhelming complexity by breaking down the overall system into manageable, configurable components.
Solution Approach 2:
The display system transitions from static, fixed layouts to dynamic, user-configurable interfaces. Users can dynamically select which data streams to display, adjust widget parameters, and reconfigure the display layout in real-time based on operational needs, making the system adaptable without requiring complex reprogramming.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple data streams are displayed in standard formats, then comprehensive drilling data is visible, but the display is not impactful for specific users
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides pre-configured widget templates and standard display layouts that can be quickly deployed. Users can start with predefined configurations and then make incremental customizations, reducing the initial setup effort while still achieving user-specific tailored displays for different operational roles and scenarios.

AI summary
Apparatus, systems, and methods for correlating multiple data streams to generate a graphical widget for display on a graphical user interface. The method generally includes drilling a well segment using a drilling rig. During the drilling of the well segment, detecting, using first and second sensors, first and second drilling conditions, respectively. first and second data streams based on the detected first and second drilling conditions, respectively, are received at a first surface location. A first user input is received at the first surface location. The first and second data streams are correlated based on the first user input. A first graphical widget is generated based on the correlated first and second data streams. Finally, the first graphical widget is displayed on a graphical user interface (GUI).
