Well Information Aggregation System for Offset Well Analysis
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Manually aggregating and analyzing information for well analysis is time-consuming, prone to errors, and difficult due to the need to search and combine structured and unstructured data from various sources.
Innovation Solution
A system that aggregates and presents information for well analysis by obtaining structured and unstructured data based on user selection, using ranked coupling to prioritize data sources and facilitate user interaction for accurate data retrieval and visualization.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If manual searching and aggregation of well information is performed, then data can be retrieved from various sources, but the process is time-consuming and prone to errors
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables self-service automated data aggregation where the computer system automatically searches, retrieves, and merges well information from multiple data sources without requiring manual intervention. The system autonomously performs the aggregation process, eliminating human error and significantly reducing the time required for data collection and compilation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the manual mechanical process of searching and aggregating data with an automated computer-based system. The mechanical manual operations of data collection, sorting, and merging are substituted with automated software processes that execute searches, retrieve information, and integrate data from multiple sources automatically, thereby eliminating time consumption and human error.
2Loss of information
If comprehensive well information is aggregated from multiple data sources, then analysis completeness is improved, but the complexity of managing and organizing the data increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system merges multiple data sources and types of well information into a single integrated view. By combining structured and unstructured data from various sources into one unified presentation, the system achieves comprehensive information coverage while managing complexity through integration rather than separate management of multiple data streams.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary automated system that acts as a mediator between multiple data sources and the user. This intermediary system handles the complexity of data management by automatically searching, retrieving, validating, and organizing information from diverse sources, thereby reducing the perceived complexity for the user while maintaining complete information aggregation.
3Ease of operation
If structured and unstructured information are combined in a merged view, then data accessibility is improved, but the difficulty of organizing and presenting the information increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments information into structured and unstructured categories while presenting them in a unified merged view. By dividing data types into distinct segments that can be independently processed and then integrated, the system achieves ease of access for users while managing the organizational complexity through systematic categorization and structured presentation.
Data Source
AI summary
Responsive to a selection of a well (e.g., offset well), information coupled to the well may be obtained. Information coupled to the well may include structured information and unstructured information. A merged view of the obtained information may be presented. The merged view may provide a view of the structured information and the unstructured information organized according to a predefined presentation format and may facilitate analysis of the well (e.g., analysis of the offset well in planning a new well).
