20080217005 | AUTOMATED OIL WELL TEST CLASSIFICATION - The subject mater herein relates to oil well testing and, more particularly, automated oil well test classification. Various embodiments described herein provide systems, methods, and software for statistical analysis and classification of oil well tests. Some embodiments include receiving a first set of oil well test results from one or more measurement devices of a well test separator, storing the first set of oil well test results in a database, and annotating one or more tests of the first set oil well test results. The annotated test results are then used to build one or more classification models to enable automated oil well test classification as new oil well tests are performed. | 09-11-2008 |
20090106652 | Apparatus and method for visualization of operating status in a process control system - Deviations associated with a process system are identified, such as by identifying deviations of process variables or production measurements from target values. A graphical display is generated that identifies at least some of the deviations and one or more characteristics associated with the deviations. For example, the graphical display includes a time axis, and each deviation is associated with a bar positioned in the graphical display to identify a start time and an end time of the deviation along the time axis. Also, each bar may include one or more indicators (such as patterns, colors, or shadings) that identify the one or more characteristics (such as an economic impact and/or a cause) of each deviation identified in the graphical display. In this way, a user can, among other things, identify when deviations from target values occur, durations of the deviations, and economic impacts and/or causes associated with the deviations. | 04-23-2009 |

20100211192 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR AUTOMATED ANALYSIS OF ALARM DATA TO SUPPORT ALARM RATIONALIZATION - A method includes receiving at least one search parameter, where the at least one search parameter defines one or more restrictions on types of event patterns. The method also includes searching a collection of historical events associated with a process control system. The method further includes identifying one or more groups of alarms each having a pattern that satisfies the one or more restrictions. In addition, the method includes outputting information identifying the one or more groups of alarms. The method could also include receiving a selection of at least one of the one or more identified groups of alarms. The method could further include notifying one or more components in the process control system to begin dynamically suppressing alarms in the at least one selected group of alarms. | 08-19-2010 |
20100299105 | ONLINE CONDITION-BASED MONITORING FOR TANK FARMS - A method for online condition-based monitoring (CBM) of a tank farm including a plurality of storage tanks includes providing a tank model including a diagnostic and/or predictive tank model based on calculated tank metrics that is derived from historical data including tank operation data. The calculated tank metrics include tank operational metrics based on the tank operational data for the storage tanks and tank condition metrics based on tank inspection or maintenance data for the storage tanks. The tank model provides relationships between the tank condition metrics and the tank operational metrics. Results are generated using the tank model including at least one failure indicia for at least a first of the storage tanks using the calculated tank metrics and current measured data for the first tank as inputs to the tank model. The failure indicia is processed for scheduling at least one maintenance task for the first tank. | 11-25-2010 |
20130031086 | PROCESS AUTOMATION SYSTEM PROBLEM ANALYSIS TOOL - An automated data processing method includes providing a plurality of incident data from a physical installation of a process automation system in a processing facility that collectively spans a period of time and building a stored relational database including database data from the incident data. The method includes automatically generating at least one processed data result from the database data, wherein the automatically generating generates at least one processed data result from the database data. The processed data result is in a displayable form that facilitates identification of a problem in the process automation system by an analyst in a remote support center. | 01-31-2013 |
20130311437 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PERFORMANCE MONITORING OF A POPULATION OF EQUIPMENT - A system and method obtain a database stored on a storage device containing information on multiple assets, the information including measurements taken from devices monitoring each asset, and context information corresponding to the environment the items are subjected to. The system and method groups assets via a computer system into a homogenous group as a function of selected context information and performs analytics via the computer system on the grouped assets to manage the assets. | 11-21-2013 |
