Mobile Well Data Auto-Selection via GPS Coordinates
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional information management systems in the oil and gas industry are inefficient and inaccurate when trying to access data for a specific well, as they require manual configuration for each well location and activity, leading to time-consuming and error-prone processes, especially when data for another well is displayed on a mobile device.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that determine geographical coordinates for a mobile device or system to automatically identify and display data for the well closest to the device's location, reconfiguring parameters, data formats, and data based on these coordinates, eliminating the need for manual configuration and reducing errors.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If manual configuration is used for each well location and activity, then system adaptability is maintained, but time consumption and operational efficiency deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically detects the user's current location via GPS coordinates and self-configures to display the nearest well's data without requiring manual selection or configuration. This self-service approach eliminates time-consuming manual operations while maintaining adaptability to different well locations.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically changes operational parameters (displayed well data, system configuration) based on the detected geographical coordinates. By automatically adjusting parameters according to location, the system adapts to different wells without manual intervention, resolving the contradiction between adaptability and time consumption.
2Measurement precision
If manual well selection from a list is required, then data accuracy can be verified, but operational efficiency and productivity deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The manual mechanical process of scrolling through and selecting wells from a list is replaced with an automated electronic system that uses GPS coordinates to calculate and identify the nearest well. This substitution maintains data accuracy through coordinate-based identification while dramatically improving operational efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
Geographical coordinates serve as an intermediary that automatically links the user's location to the nearest well. This intermediary eliminates the need for manual well selection while ensuring accurate data retrieval by mathematically determining the closest well based on coordinate comparison.
3Quantity of substance
If conventional information management systems are used, then comprehensive well data can be managed, but system complexity and configuration burden increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the configuration burden from the user by implementing automatic location-based well identification. The system separates the complex configuration task from manual operations, automatically handling well selection based on GPS coordinates while maintaining comprehensive data management capabilities.
