Monitoring of wellsite with artificial intelligence

Abstract

Various embodiments of the present disclosure include a method for monitoring a wellsite. In some embodiments, the method can include receiving data from a wellsite sensor. In some embodiments, the method can include analyzing the data using artificial intelligence to determine a characteristic associated with the wellsite.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method for monitoring a wellsite, comprising:
 receiving data from a wellsite sensor;   analyzing the data using artificial intelligence to determine a characteristic associated with the wellsite.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein receiving data from the wellsite sensor includes receiving image data from the wellsite sensor. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein:
 the wellsite sensor includes a thermal imaging camera that monitors a tank located at the wellsite; and   the image data includes image data captured with the thermal imaging camera.   
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 3 , wherein the characteristic associated with the wellsite includes a level of liquid in a tank located on the wellsite. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein analyzing the data using artificial intelligence includes using computer vision to analyze the data. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein:
 the wellsite sensor includes a camera that monitors a flare associated with the wellsite; and   the data includes image data of the flare captured with the camera.   
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein determining the characteristic associated with the wellsite includes determining a flare characteristic associated with the flare. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 7 , wherein determining the flare characteristic includes determining the flare characteristic based on at least one of a color and size of the flare, using computer vision. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 8 , further comprising using artificial intelligence to determine a type of notification to generate, based on the flare characteristic. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein the image data includes an image of at least one of a methane leak. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein the method includes using computer vision to determine a type of characteristic associated with the at least one of the methane leak. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11 , further comprising determining, with artificial intelligence, a type of notification to generate based on the type of characteristic. 
     
     
         13 . A system for monitoring a wellsite, comprising:
 a processor; and   a memory storing non-transitory computer-readable instructions that are executable by the processor to:
 receive data from a wellsite sensor, wherein the wellsite sensor includes a camera and the data includes image data; 
 analyze the data using computer vision to determine a characteristic associated with the wellsite; and 
 record data associated with the characteristic in a data log. 
   
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 13 , wherein the data log is accessible to a user located remote to the wellsite. 
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 14 , further comprising instructions that are executable by the processor to determine a type of notification to send to the user. 
     
     
         16 . A system for monitoring a wellsite:
 a camera;   a processor; and   a memory storing instructions that are executable by the processor to:
 receive image data from the camera; 
 analyze the image data using computer vision to determine a characteristic associated with the wellsite; and 
 determine, with artificial intelligence, a type of notification to generate, based on the characteristic associated with the wellsite. 
   
     
     
         17 . The system of  claim 16 , further comprising instructions executable by the processor to send the notification to a remote user device. 
     
     
         18 . The system of  claim 17 , wherein the notification includes a notification that a leak is occurring on the wellsite. 
     
     
         19 . The system of  claim 17 , wherein the notification includes a notification of a level of liquid in a tank disposed on the wellsite. 
     
     
         20 . The system of  claim 17 , wherein the notification includes a notification of a health of a flare disposed on the wellsite.
