Solution Overview

Problem

Existing data loading techniques for oilfield-related data in E&P software platforms are time-consuming, error-prone, and require extensive manual effort, involving physical site visits and incorrect data loading.

Innovation Solution

A cloud-based data loading service system that facilitates the initiation, tracking, and execution of data loading requests, including generating service tickets, assigning tasks, and providing status updates through an oilfield-related user interface.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If manual data loading techniques are used, then data can be loaded into the application, but the process is time-consuming and error-prone

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata loading speedVSAvoiddata loading accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables self-service through automated service tickets that track and manage data loading requests independently. The ticketing system automatically assigns tasks, monitors progress, and updates status without requiring manual intervention at each step, thereby increasing both speed and reliability of data loading operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback mechanisms through real-time status updates on service tickets. Users can track the progression of their data loading requests through defined stages (pending, in progress, completed), and the system provides automated notifications and progress reporting, ensuring accuracy while maintaining high productivity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Ease of operation

If manual data loading processes are used, then data can be transferred, but extensive manual effort is required

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata loading simplicityVSAvoiddata loading duration
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-defining service ticket templates, task assignments, and workflow stages before data loading requests are submitted. This preparation enables rapid processing of requests without manual configuration, making the operation simple while reducing the time required for each data loading task.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The service ticket system acts as an intermediary between users and the data loading process. Instead of users directly managing complex manual loading procedures, they submit requests through the ticketing system which automatically coordinates task assignment, resource allocation, and progress tracking, simplifying operation while reducing overall duration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Productivity

If physical site visits are conducted for data loading, then data can be obtained, but the process becomes complex and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata acquisition efficiencyVSAvoiddata loading process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system replaces mechanical site visits with an automated digital ticketing and task management system. Instead of physically traveling to data sources, users submit electronic requests that are automatically routed through the system, which assigns tasks and tracks completion digitally. This substitution dramatically increases productivity while reducing process complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

AI summary

A method for tracking, managing, and fulfilling data loading service request includes: receiving a data loading service request for loading oilfield-related data to an application; generating a service ticket based on the request, the service ticket identifying details of the data loading service request; assigning one or more tasks associated with the service ticket to one or more resources; receiving, from the one or more resources, information regarding status of completion of the requested service; and providing one or more updates on the status of the requested server to the user through an oilfield-related user interface.
