Drilling operations emissions framework

Abstract

A method may include receiving drilling operations data with respect to time as acquired during drilling operations at a rig site; receiving contextual information associated with the drilling operations at the rig site; and determining emissions of the drilling operations at the rig site based at least in part on the drilling operations data and the contextual information.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method comprising:
 receiving drilling operations data with respect to time as acquired during drilling operations at a rig site;   receiving contextual information associated with the drilling operations at the rig site; and   determining emissions of the drilling operations at the rig site based at least in part on the drilling operations data and the contextual information.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the determining emissions comprises using one or more of a model, emissions measurements and historical data. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the drilling operations comprise operations performed on a stand-by-stand basis and wherein the emissions of the drilling operations comprise stand-by-stand emissions. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 3 , comprising determining rig states based at least in part on the drilling operations data wherein the determining emissions of the drill operations is based at least in part on the rig states. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , comprising integrating the contextual information and the drilling operations data prior to the determining the emissions of the drilling operations. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 5 , wherein the integrating comprises performing one or more quality control procedures using the contextual information and the drilling operations data to improve quality of one or more of the contextual information and the drilling operations data. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein the integrating generates harmonized information that improves accuracy of the determining of emissions of the drilling operations. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 1 , comprising controlling equipment at the rig site based at least in part on the emissions of the drilling operations. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the controlling comprises controlling equipment to perform a mode of drilling. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the mode of drilling is selected from a slide mode and a rotation mode. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the determining emissions of the drilling operations comprises determining emissions of pieces of equipment at the rig site. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the pieces of equipment comprise one or more of a top drive, a rotary table, a mud pump and a drawworks. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the emissions comprise greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the emissions comprise at least carbon dioxide emissions. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 1 , comprising receiving energy source information for pieces of equipment wherein the energy source information specifies one or more energy sources for each of the pieces of equipment. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein the energy source information specifies one or more of diesel fuel, natural gas turbine, grid and renewable. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the drilling operations data are received at a first frequency, wherein the contextual information is received at a second frequency, wherein the first frequency is more frequent than the second frequency, and wherein the emissions of the drilling operations is reported at a frequency that is less frequent than the first frequency. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein a rig state generator generates rig states at a frequency that is less frequent than a frequency of the drilling operations data and wherein the determining the emissions of the drilling operations utilizes the generated rig states. 
     
     
         19 . A system comprising:
 one or more processors;   memory accessible to at least one of the one or more processors;   processor-executable instructions stored in the memory and executable to instruct the system to:
 receive drilling operations data with respect to time as acquired during drilling operations at a rig site; 
 receive contextual information associated with the drilling operations at the rig site; and 
 determine emissions of the drilling operations at the rig site based at least in part on the drilling operations data and the contextual information. 
   
     
     
         20 . One or more computer-readable storage media comprising processor-executable instructions to instruct a computing system to:
 receive drilling operations data with respect to time as acquired during drilling operations at a rig site;   receive contextual information associated with the drilling operations at the rig site; and   determine emissions of the drilling operations at the rig site based at least in part on the drilling operations data and the contextual information.
