Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method, apparatus, and program product facilitate the automation of an oil & gas process, e.g., a drilling process, through the use of a dynamic phase machine incorporating multiple autonomous agents. An agent may be used to perform automated acceptance of a survey performed by a downhole survey device, e.g., so that an oil & gas drilling process may proceed for an accepted survey.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method of accepting a survey performed by a downhole survey device in a drilling system during an oil & gas drilling process to assess whether a drilling operation is proceeding along an intended path, the method comprising: executing in a drilling automation system at least a portion of a dynamic phase machine that implements a control algorithm for the oil & gas drilling process and includes a plurality of phases; when the dynamic phase machine is in a…
