Rig operations information system

This invention describes a software system for oil and gas drilling rigs that helps operators understand what's happening. It takes in various sensor data from the rig and uses it to calculate custom performance metrics, which are then displayed through a customizable graphical interface. Specifically, it focuses on using data like rig block position to estimate pipe length and its uncertainty, and hook load to calculate how much pipe segments are stretching.

Why it matters: The 'inference engine' and 'formula tool' for generating performance indicators from complex sensor data have become significantly easier and more powerful to implement due to rapid advancements in AI/ML and data analytics platforms since 2022.
