Abstract

Aspects of the subject technology relate to autonomously controlling a wireline system. Wireline information associated with operation of a wireline system can be accessed. The wireline system can include a wireline tool operating in relation to a wellbore at a wellsite. Operation of the wireline system can be autonomously controlled at the wellsite based on the wireline information.

Claims

         3 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein autonomously controlling the operation of the wireline system based on the wireline information includes controlling a speed power of the line of the wireline system, controlling a tension in the line of the wireline system, performing auto-spooling, or a combination thereof through a wireline winch controller. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 accessing log data gathered by the wireline tool operating to log at least a portion of the wellbore;   interpreting the log data; and   autonomously controlling the operation of the wireline system based on an interpretation of the log data.   
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising autonomously controlling operation of the wireline tool in logging at least a portion of the wellbore based on the wireline information associated with the operation of the wireline system. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 5 , wherein controlling operation of the wireline tool further comprises controlling delivery of power to the wireline tool based on the wireline information associated with the operation of the wireline system. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the wireline information includes information indicative of a safety concern associated with the operation of the wireline system in relation to the wellbore, the method for comprising:
 detecting the safety concern based on the wireline information; and   autonomously controlling the operation of the wireline system based on detection of the safety concern.   
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 providing remote access to the wireline information associated with operation of the wireline system;   receiving remote user input in relation to the operation of the wireline system that is generated based on remote access to the wireline information associated with the operation of the wireline system; and   controlling operation of the wireline system at runtime based on the remote user input.   
     
     
         9 . A system comprising:
 one or more processors; and   at least one computer-readable storage medium having stored therein instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
 receive a job plan for operating a wireline system including a wireline tool in relation to a wellbore at a wellsite; 
 access wireline information associated with operation of the wireline system at the wellsite; 
 modify the job plan based on the wireline information to generate a modified job plan; and 
 autonomously control the operation of the wireline system at the wellsite based on the modified job plan. 
   
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 9 , wherein the wireline information includes tension of a line of the wireline system at a point at a surface of the wellsite, a depth of the wireline tool in the wellbore, a line speed change of the line of the wireline system in deploying the wireline tool in the wellbore, a downhole tension of the line in proximity to the wireline tool deployed in the wellbore, or a combination thereof, and the instructions further cause the one or more processors to autonomously control the operation of the wireline system at the wellsite based on the tension of the line of the wireline system at a point at the surface of the wellsite, the depth of the wireline tool in the wellbore, the line speed change of the line of the wireline system in deploying the wireline tool in the wellbore, the downhole tension of the line in proximity to the wireline tool deployed in the wellbore, or a combination thereof. 
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 10 , wherein autonomously controlling the operation of the wireline system based on the wireline information includes controlling a speed power of the line of the wireline system, controlling a tension in the line of the wireline system, performing auto-spooling, or a combination thereof through a wireline winch controller.
