Evolving Wellsite Production with Spatial Computing
A Case Study on the transformative potential of spatial computing in complex industrial environments.
The Problem
Traditionally, production operation management heavily relies on standard screen interfaces and manual data interpretation. This can lead to challenges in real-time situational awareness, decision-making, inefficiencies in monitoring large multi-well sites, and increased potential for human error in interpreting complex datasets. This production company sought to enhance operational efficiency, safety, and decision accuracy by integrating advanced technology solutions.
The Approach
Our approach centered around leveraging spatial computing to revolutionize wellsite operations. Spatial computing, which combines physical and digital worlds, enables users to interact with digital content in the real world integrating equipment monitors and sensors, AI, and advanced visualization technologies.
The Solution
Our solution involved developing a spatial computing interface that integrates seamlessly with the existing wellsite infrastructure. Key components included:
Headsets: Equipped field supervisors with spatial computing headsets to visualize real-time data overlays on physical assets.
Gesture and Voice Controls: Enabled hands-free operation through gesture recognition and voice commands, crucial for safety and efficiency in a wellsite environment.
Real-time Data Integration: Combined live data feeds from integrated technologies with the spatial interface, providing instant information on equipment status, production metrics, maintenance schedules, and alert notifications.
3D Modeling and Simulation: Utilized 3D models to simulate wellsite operations, allowing for risk-free scenario planning and training.
Collaborative Tools: Integrated tools for remote collaboration, enabling off-site experts to assist with operations in real-time.
