Solution Overview

Problem

Well systems face challenges in analyzing and calibrating data from various equipment due to different formats, locations, and time references, leading to noise in machine learning operations and reduced accuracy.

Innovation Solution

A system that uses event records to identify events and calibrate data by mapping equipment operations into a supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system, aligning measurements into time series data, and combining online and offline data for machine learning model training.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If data from multiple equipment sources are collected for machine learning training, then the quantity and diversity of training data increases, but data consistency and noise increase due to different formats, locations, and time references

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvequantity of training dataVSAvoiddata consistency
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments data processing into distinct stages: data collection from multiple equipment sources, calibration processing, and machine learning training. By dividing the complex data integration task into manageable segments, the system can apply specific calibration techniques to each data type while maintaining overall data consistency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a calibration system as an intermediary layer between raw equipment data and machine learning models. This calibration component standardizes data from various sources by adjusting for format differences, location variations, and time reference discrepancies, thereby maintaining data consistency while incorporating diverse training data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If data calibration and alignment processes are implemented, then data consistency and machine learning accuracy improve, but system complexity and processing time increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemachine learning accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The calibration system is designed as a universal platform that handles multiple data types and equipment sources through a single integrated process. Rather than creating separate calibration routines for each equipment type, the system implements a multi-functional calibration framework that standardizes diverse data sources, thereby reducing overall system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs calibration as a preliminary action before machine learning training begins. By pre-calibrating and aligning all data during an initial processing stage, the system eliminates the need for complex real-time calibration during training, thereby reducing processing complexity and improving training efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Adaptability or versatility

If offline equipment data is integrated with online equipment data, then the comprehensiveness of training data improves, but data synchronization and calibration difficulty increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata comprehensivenessVSAvoiddata synchronization difficulty
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

The system creates standardized copies of offline equipment data that match the format and structure of online equipment data. By copying and transforming offline data into a unified format during the calibration stage, the system achieves comprehensive data integration without the complexity of real-time synchronization, as all data is processed and aligned before training begins.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying
