Description
AN APPARATUS, SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TRANSMITTING AND DISPLAYING WELL DATA ACQUIRED IN REAL TIME AT A LOCATION
REMOTE TECHNICAL FIELD This invention relates generally to the field of processing and visualization of acquired well data, and more particularly to an improved apparatus, system and method for viewing well data acquired in near real time at a location remote from acquisition. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In the oil and gas industry, companies that own and / or administer hydrocarbon wells evaluate wells by means of wireline records. In the logging of wells through wire lines, one or more tools are connected to a data and energy transmission cable or "cable line" and these tools are lowered in the borehole to obtain measurements of geophysical properties related to the area adjacent to the drilling. The cable line supports the tools as they are lowered into the bore, provides power to the tools and provides a means of communication to send signals to the tools and to receive data from the tools. Usually, the tools are lowered to a depth of interest in the well and then recovered. As the tools are recovered, they send data regarding the geological formations through which they pass on the cable line to a surface acquisition and processing equipment, usually contained within a logging truck or a unit register. The data acquisition and processing equipment including programmatic compiles the data in the tools in a "log", a graph that presents the geophysical information related to the geological formations found in the well, often according to the depth. The records can also be used to evaluate the current production of production wells or to check the integrity of production equipment in a producing well. In any case, the data obtained during the registration operation are generally presented in the register according to the depth, but they can also be presented based on time, or any other index by which multiple physical entries are recorded. U.S. Patent No. 5, 051,962 (incorporated herein by reference) discloses said well registration system controlled by a general purpose computer programmed for real time operation. Various data acquisition and processing programs are known in the art. An example of a programmatic data acquisition and processing is the MAXIS ® system from Schlumberger, which is a concatenation of separate computer programs. Programmatic data acquisition and processing writes the registration data in two types of format files locked on disk. By "blocked", we indicate that the format files can not be read and written at the same time. The two types of blocked format files are distinguished by the type of information they contain: one is a "data format" file and the other is a graphic format file.The data format file contains the numerical properties of the registration data, the graphics format file contains the pictorial representation of the data, the data acquisition and processing program continues to write the registration data on the blocked data format file and the locked graphics format file until the end Afterwards, the data of the blocked data format file and the locked graphic format file can be translavated from the digital readings in physical form by means of a marking device such as a printer. blocked data format and the locked graphics format file, the programmatic acquisition and processing of data can send the registration data to a display monitor, through a restitution device. Using the monitor, the well logging expert ("well log engineer") who performs the registration operation can see the record as it is being compiled. After the compilation of the record, said record can be transmitted to the central office of the company for interpretation and review by the administration. The paper record can be sent directly from the well site to the company in the form of a fax. Alternatively, the complete blocked data format file can be sent from the well site to a data processing center via a satellite using a protocol such as DECNET. The data processing center can in turn transmit the record in the form of a fax to the company that operates the well. As a further alternative, the complete blocked data format file can be sent from the well site to a company operating the well using a computer program such as Blast ® by U.S. Robotics The data acquired from the registry are often crucial to the decision making process as to what to do with the well being studied. Consider, for example, a well that has just been drilled and studied. According to the results of the registry, the well will be drilled deeper, covered, and abandoned as a non-productive well either reinforced and tested or perhaps the decision will be that additional records are required before making the decision on what will be done the hole. The results of the record can also determine whether the well requires stimulation or special finishing techniques, for example, gas lift or sand control. In any case, these decisions are crucial and should be taken very quickly. Errors or simply delays can be extremely expensive. Since the interpretation of a record is partly an art and partly a science, the company operating the well that is in the process of drilling or in production often wants its own staff to see the data in the record as the well is being studied. But the company that operates the well can be located half of humanity from the well itself. Drilling and production activities are frequently located in remote locations and it is difficult for the company operating the well to have its own personnel, such as a geologist or a petrophysicist, to join the engineer who performs the company's online registration. cables on the site during the registration operation. Frequently the logistics or bad weather prevent the company that operates the well from sending someone to the well site for the registration operation. In addition, sending personnel to the well site is a costly operation and exposes the staff to all the hazards of the drilling or production operation, as well as the dangers and discomforts of the trip. As a result, decisions must often be made visually before the company operating the well can complete its review of the actual data of the registry, based only on the interpretations made at the well site. Accordingly, there is a need for a system or method that allows the personnel of the company operating the well at a remote location of the well site to view the record as compiled in real time or almost in real time. There is an additional need for a system or method that allows real-time communication during a well registration operation between people in a remote location who see the data thrown by the research and the engineer in charge of the well investigation. Since the data from the well registration operation is highly competitive in nature and extremely confidential, there is a need for a system or method that sends well data from a well site to a remote location in near real time, in such a way that the data can not be directed to the wrong address or lost. There is also a need for a system or method that allows people to see the well exploration data in near real time, without the cost of traveling to the well site and without being exposed to the hazards of the well site.

The remote data processor 210 is preferably a Pentium personal computer (P5-90 or more), with an Internet interface or a modem. The remote memory '230 preferably has at least 32 Megabytes of RAM. Figure 4A illustrates the components of the primary memory 200. As illustrated in Figure 4A, the primary memory 200 includes a programmatic 240 of primary data acquisition and processing, a primary programmatic of operating system 250, a primary data storage 260 , a primary file transfer utility program 270 and a programmatic primary program 280. The programmatic primary operating system 250 is preferably Windows (MR) NT (MR) by Microsoft Corporation. If the near-real-time view is not desired, Open VMS can be used by Digital Equipment Corporation or other operating systems. Figure 4B illustrates the components of the remote memory. As illustrated in FIG. 4B, the remote memory 230 includes a programmatic remote data processing 290, a remote programmable operating system 300, a remote data storage 310, a remote file transfer utility program 320 and a programmatic one. 330. Programmatic 300 is preferably Windows (MR) NT (MR) by Microsoft Corporation. II. In the primary location Figure 5A illustrates the programmatic 240 of data acquisition and processing and other programs in the primary location. Figure 5B illustrates the programmatic 290 of remote data processing and other programs at the remote location. As the registration data is entered into the programmatic data acquisition and processing 240, the data enters a primary data formatting program 340 where the data is formatted as numerical data in standard industry format for storage. The data is also entered into a record generation program 350 that adds commands and other instructions to the data to create graphic data. The numerical data includes numerical properties of the data. The graphic data includes pictorial representation of the data. The data formatting program 340 and the record generation program 350 act through a primary reading module 360 while writing ("RWW") to write the data as received in a primary file 370 of data format which it can be shared and in one or more primary registry graph files that can be shared, respectively. (You can create different files of primary record charts that can be shared 380 for different presentations of the same file data). Unlike a locked format file, a format file that can be shared allows shared access to files, so that the format file that can be shared can be written and read at the same time. Preferably, each format file that can be shared contains all the acquired data and input parameters for a single investigation ie, for the data from a set of measurement tools operating in the well simultaneously. As the primary RWW module 360 begins to write pit record data in the primary file 370 of data format that can be shared and in the primary file 380 of the format of the chart that can be shared, the primary module 360 RWW also creates for each of the data format file that can be shared primary 370 and for the primary formattable graphics file file 380, a primary semaphore file, 390, 400 respectively. The primary traffic light files 390, 400 have the same name as the primary shared format file for which they were created, with the addition of an "_smf" at the end. The existence of a semaphore file indicates that the primary format file that can be shared with a similar name is a file that can be shared. Any program that shares access with the format file that can be shared also uses a copy of the primary RWW module to check the existence of the associated semaphore file to determine if the format file can be shared. With reference to Figure 5A, the file transfer utility primary program 270 may include a file transfer primary server 410 (as also shown in Figure 5B) and / or a primary file transfer client 420. With reference to Figure 5B, the remote file transfer utility 320 may include a remote file transfer server 430 and / or a remote file transfer client 440. The minimum required is a file transfer server in the primary location or remote location and a file transfer client in the other location. But there may be a file transfer server and a file transfer client in each location. The primary file transfer transfer server and the remote file transfer server are always activated and always listen to requests from one of the file transfer clients. File transfer clients are not always activated, but send requests to the file transfer server as initiated by a user request through the input device. A file transfer server can handle requests from several file transfer clients. You can retransmit files that you receive from a file transfer server to one or more secondary file transfer servers in different locations simultaneously (see Figure 11 G). File transfer clients may or may not read or write to one of the format files. A file transfer server reads from a format file and writes to a format file. In the HA to 11 G figures there are several scenarios for data requests between file and server transfer clients. As illustrated in Figure 5A, the representation set 422 may include a primary representation server 424, a primary representation programmatic 426 and a copy of the RWW module 360. The primary representation assembly 422 presents the graphic data as described in FIG. then send them either to a primary monitor 60 or to a primary printer 70 via a primary monitor controller 55 and a printer driver 80, respectively. As illustrated with major ones in Figure 9, the primary representation programmatic set 422 may include a primary representation server 424, a primary representation programmatic -426 and a copy of the RWW 360 module. The primary representation programmatic 426 may include a primary reader / interpreter 700, a primary rendering server 424, a primary object former 710, a primary object representation module 720, a primary output module 730, a primary printer frame forming module 740, a switch of primary programmatic 750 and one or more primary printer formatting modules 760. The functions of the primary interpreter maya reader 700 may carried out by a primary reader and a primary interpreter. The primary representation server 424 offers a "traffic police" function for the primary representation programmatic package 422 by transmitting printed petitions and printed petitions and parameters to the primary representation programmatic "426. The well registration expert that performs a well registration operation or that prints well log data from format files, it can register one or several parameters through the primary input device 50 in the data acquisition and processing equipment 30, or the data acquisition and processing equipment 30 itself can derive or recover the parameters of the memory. The parameters are sent through the data acquisition and processing equipment 30 and are recorded in the primary reader / interpreter 700 through the primary representation server 424. The primary reader / interpreter 700 uses the parameters to present the graphic data at scale , in such a way that they are displayed and printed appropriately. With reference to Figure 9, the RWW module 360 first checks the presence of the semaphore file of well registration format 400 and then reads the graphic data, with commands, from the primary file of the registration format that can be shared 360 to the primary reader / interpreter 700. Primary reader / interpreter 700 also receives the parameters. and uses the graphic data and the parameters to create object instructions, which are sent to the primary object processor 710. The primary object former 710 transforms the object instructions into a set of objects, continuous or discrete, and sends the object set to the primary object representation module 720. A numerical value in a record is an example of a discrete object; Well log curves are continuous objects. The primary object representation module 720 also receives commands from the primary reader / interpreter 700. Using the commands and the object set, the primary object representation module 720 creates a stretched object (stretched objects), or portions thereof and it sends it to its primary output module 730. The primary output module 730 employs the stretched object or the stretched objects to create graphic instructions that are sent to the primary monitor 60 through the primary monitor device driver 85 and - to the module of primary printer frame 740. The primary printer frame training module 740 transforms the graphic instructions into frames and sends them through the primary programmatic switch 750 to one or more primary printer format 760 modules. from there, the frames are passed to the primary printer driver 80 and the primary printer 70. III. File transfer As the primary file transfer server 410 reads the data, it handles the data in accordance with that described in the US patent application serial number 08 / 772,712 and transmits the data in the communication system 110 to the location equipment remote, as illustrated in Figures 6, 7 A and 7B, this includes reading the data while they are being written, compressing the data, forming a row of data, coding the data, if desired, classifying the data and transmitting the data. The coding and classification of the data is preferably achieved through DCE Software of the Open Group. If there is an interruption during file transmission, the remote file transfer client 440 invents an automatic recovery. The remote file transfer client 440 will use an automatic callback system 3 times in an attempt to reestablish communications. If the connection is successfully established, the data transfer will resume where it was interrupted. This is achieved by means of a data file transfer client 440 that knows how many bytes of data they have and inviting the primary file transfer server 410 to collect it in the next byte. If the remote file transfer client 440 has 1000 bytes of data, it will tell the primary file transfer server 410 to start transmitting in the 1001 byte. If the attendees are negative, that is, if the communication fails is complete, the transfer can be reinitialized manually, in recovery mode, to resume from the point of interruption. SAW. At the remote location At the remote location, the transmitted data is registered, declassified, decompressed and written to disk. This can be achieved in several ways in accordance with what is presented in detail in the following section but is preferably achieved in one of two ways, depending on whether the data should be seen in near real time. A without seeing the data in near real time If you do not want to see the data in near real time, it is preferable to allow the remote file transfer client 440 to write the data directly on the data files that can be shared and the record format, instead of using the remote file transfer server to do it. In fact, such a situation does not require a remote file transfer server. Furthermore, in such a case, the preferred remote procedure for transmission is a DCE conduit. The conduit 570 includes a callback mechanism that offers a continuous read-send loop. That is, the primary file transfer server 410 can send a first buffer through the remote procedure call 140 and then read a second data buffer and send it also, without waiting for the remote file transfer client 440 receive the first buffer and ask for another one. Other remote procedure calls do not include the callback mechanism. As illustrated in figure 6 in a case of this type, the transmitted data is received by the remote file transfer client 440, decoded, and declassified using a decoding / declassification module 580. The decoding / declassification module 580 is preferably a DCE Software by the Open Group. The remote file transfer client 440 then decompresses the data transmitted with the decompression module 590 and uses its own copy of the RWW 490 module to write the data into a remote data format file that can be shared 450 and / or the file of remote record format that can be shared 460 and creates the semaphore files, 470, 480 for the remote format files that can be shared, respectively. After finishing the data storage, the data can be presented in a register and can be printed or displayed on the remote monitor. B. with near real-time view If the data should be viewed in near real time, it is preferable to allow the remote file transfer server to handle the remote presenter and the remote monitor. In such a case, it is preferable that the remote file transfer server and not the remote file transfer client handle the writing of the data on the record format files and data that can be shared. Moreover, in such a case, the remote procedure call does not have to be carried out in a DCE channel, because, in real time, the data accumulates more slowly and can be transmitted at a lower speed. Since the data enters more slowly, the callback mechanism provided in the pipe is not desired. Likewise, the conduit can store the data, which is not preferable with an almost real-time view. The remote procedure call is preferably a remote procedure call, not conduit, provided by DCE Software. As described in co-pending US Patent Application Serial No. 08 / 772,712 and as illustrated in Figures 7 A and 7 B, the remote file transfer client 440 receives the transmitted data, decodes it and declassifies it. The decoding / declassification module 580 is preferably DCE Software by the Open 'Group. Then, the remote file transfer client 440 codes and classifies the data, preferably again with the DCE Software by the Open Group and employs a second remote procedure call to send the data to the remote file transfer server 430. The Remote File Transfer Server 430 decodes and declassifies the data and decompresses it. The decode / declassification module 580 is preferably DCE Software by the Open Group. Then, using its own copy of the 490 RWW module, the remote file transfer server 430 writes the data about the remote data format file that can be shared 450 and / or about the remote record format file that can be shared 460, creating an associated semaphore file 470, 480, respectively, for each of them. If you want to see the data as it is being described, the programmatic remote representation can use its own copy of the RWW 490 module to read the graphical data of the file format file that can be shared 460 as they are being written and send the graphic data to through the appropriate device drivers to the printer or monitor. To allow a person in a remote location to see or print the data while they are being written in the remote format of graphical data that can be shared 460. With reference to Figure 5 B and Figure 10, a set of programmatic remote representation 490 may include a copy of the remote module RWW 490, a remote interpreter and reader 900, a remote object former 910, a remote object representation module 920, a remote output module 930, a remote printer frame training module 940, a remote programmatic switch 950, and one or more primary printer formatting modules 960. The remote module REE 490 first seeks the presence of the remote file 490, and then read the graphical data, with commands, from the remote record format file 460 that can be shared with the remote reader / interpreter 900. This can be carried out while the data is being written to the file 460 remote record format that can be shared. Preferably, the remote RWW module 490 reads an increasing portion of the data preferably 512 bytes or 1 kilobyte at a time, and sends them to the remote reader / interpreter 900. With reference to FIG. 10, the remote reader / interpreter 900 employs the graphic data to create a plurality of object instructions. The remote reader / interpreter 900 sends the object instructions to the remote object former 910. The remote object former 910 transforms the object instructions into a set of objects, continuous or discrete, and sends the object set to the remote representation module of objects 920. The remote object representation module 920 also receives commands from the remote reader / interpreter 900. In addition, the remote object representation module 930 receives input from the user. The user input passes from the remote input 930 to the native message module 980, which is an event handler and preferably part of the Windows NT operating system. The native message module 980 directs the input signals to a user interface module 990. The user interface module 990 transforms the signals into representation commands and sends them to the remote object representation module 920. The interface module user 980 responds to user requests (such as opening file, print file, deploy, regenerate), from a remote input 130 by sending signals to the remote interpreter reader 900 to make it implement these requests. With reference to figure 10, using the commands and the set of objects it receives, the remote object representation module 920 creates a drawn object (drawn object), or portions of it or the mimes, and sends it to the module remote output 930. The remote output module 930 uses the drawn object or the drawn objects to create graphic instructions, which is sent to a native monitor graphics module 970, native printer graphics module 975 or to the module formation of remote printer frame 940. With reference to FIG. 10, the remote printer frame training module 940 transforms the graphics instructions into frames and sends them through the remote programmatic switch 950 to one or more formatting modules of remote printers 960. From there the frames are passed to the remote printer controller 160 and the remote printer 150. With reference to FIG. 5 B and FIG. 10, the model or 970 native monitor graphics and 975 native printer graphics module format graphic instructions in native graphics protocol, preferably protocol
Windows The native graphics module 970 and the native printer graphics module 975 employ the native graphic functions, preferably Windows from the remote operating system to display the record on the remote monitor 140 through a remote monitor controller or print registering on a native printer 994, through a native print manager 996 and a native printer driver 998. After displaying the increment portion of the record on a screen on the remote monitor, the native message module 980 and the 990 user interface module respond to any possible user interface request, for example the redraw in window, record representation, visualization, regeneration, and so on. Some of the user interface requests such as on-screen scrolling and screen regeneration will result in calls to the remote object representation module 920 to redraw areas of the record on the remote monitor 140. Once it has responded to requests and if the user does not mark a pause for the record display or selects the opening of a new file, the native message module 980 and the user interface module 990 call the remote object representation module 920 to induce reading of the next portion of the record. The process is repeated until the end of the log file. The present invention also offers a method of person-to-person communication at the same time that registration transmission occurs. Using a conversational programmatic system such as CoolTalk by InSoft Inc., distributed by Netscape Navigator ® 3.0 of Netscape Communications Corporation, and using the same communication system 110 on which the data is transmitted, communication signals can be transmitted from Person to person. One or several people in the primary location, for example at the well site, can maintain a keyboard communication, a verbal communication, a video communication or an electronic board communication with those who see the record at the remote location. An electronic white board provides an electronic board in the same electronic room for all participants: All participants can write on the electronic board and what they write on the electronic board can be seen by all participants at the same time. Other communication programmatic systems that can be used include WinTalk from ELF Communications that offers only keyboard communication and CU-SeeMe from Write Pine Software Inc that provides video, audio, keyboard and whiteboard communication. The use of the TCP / IP protocol allows the bandwidth of the communication system 110 to be shared by the transfer of files and the communication signals. A benefit of the present invention is that the well registration data can be transmitted from a well site to a remote location in near real time. The records can be observed almost simultaneously in a primary location and in a remote location. Another benefit of the present invention is that it allows real-time communication during the well registration operation between people in a remote function who see the registry and the engineer who conducts well investigations at the well site. Another benefit of the present invention is that it allows secure transmission of the well data from the well site to the remote location.
Another benefit is reduced cost and greater security because the need to send additional personnel at the well site for well logging operations is avoided. The preferred embodiments, principles and modes of operation of the present invention have been described in the above specification. The invention is not limited to the particular forms presented herein, because said forms are considered illustrative and not limiting. In addition, a person skilled in the art can make variations and changes without departing from the spirit of the invention.
