computer-implemented method of monitoring a drilling operation and system for monitoring a drilling operation

摘要

A computer-based system comprising: a data analysis server coupled to a communications network for receiving a data stream including a plurality of real time sensor logs associated with an operation; and, a database of past case records, each case record including data describing an historic situation, wherein the data analysis server is programmed to: a. process the received data stream to generate a situation description including data representing a current situation; b. compare the situation description with the past case records stored in the database; c. identify one or more past case records that match the current situation as defined by the situation description to a degree of similarity above a predetermined threshold level; d. generate a visual display of matching cases identified in step (c) which allows a user to retrieve and view details of the stored past cases; and, e. repeat steps (a) to (d) over time, thereby to update the visual display of matching cases.
