AN APPARATUS, SYSTEM AND METHOD TO TRANSMIT AND DISPLAY ACQUIRED WELL DATA IN NEAR REAL TIME AT A REMOTE LOCATION

摘要

The present inventionpro-vides a system, apparatus andmethod for transmitting loggingdata from a primary location to aremote location in near real time.The logs can be viewed almostsimultaneously at the primary andremote locations, as data isbeing acquired. The presentinvention also provides for a system forviewing logs in near real time ata primary location and a remotelocation which includes a firstmeans for reading while writingat the primary location, a secondmeans for reading while writingat the remote location which isidentical to the first means forreading while writing, a first filesystem at the primary location,the first file system having datawritten to it by the first means forreading while writing as numerical data or graphics data, a first renderingmeans for reading the graphics data from the first file system andrendering the graphics data so that it can be displayed, a first display meansfor displaying the rendered graphics data, a first file transferutility means for transmitting the data from the primary location to theremote location over a communications system, a second file transferutility means for receiving the data at the remote location, a second filesystem at the remote location, to which the second file transferutility means writes the received data using the second means for readingwhile writing, a second rendering means for reading graphicsdata from the second file system and rendering the graphics data so that itcan be displayed, an input interface means which directs signalsfrom a user input to the second rendering means to adjust the display of thelog, and a second display means for displaying the renderedgraphics data at the remote location.
