At least one of the one or more edge devices includes a processing circuit configured to receive sensor data from a plurality of sensors and integrate the received sensor data into a set of metadata, the set of metadata including stored operational data of the hydrocarbon site. The processing circuit is configured to aggregate the set of metadata according to one or more criteria, the one or more criteria configured to categorize the received sensor data. The processing circuit is configured to identify one or more connected devices based on the aggregated set of metadata and the one or more criteria and adjust operation of the one or more edge devices based on the aggregated set of metadata.

Systems and methods for analyzing metadata

A hydrocarbon control system includes a base device, a field device, and a mobile device. The base device includes a key generator configured to generate a temporary key. The field device is configured to restrict or allow access based on verification of a received key. The mobile device is configured to communicate with the base device to receive the temporary key when in proximity of the base device, communicate with the field device to provide the temporary key to the field device when in proximity of the field device, and exchange data with the field device in response to the field device verifying the temporary key.

Systems and methods for security of a hydrocarbon system

A method for determining conflicts in updates of a hydrocarbon control system includes obtaining a first configuration and a second configuration from different locations in the hydrocarbon control system. The method also includes comparing the first configuration and the second configuration to determine if differences are detected. If differences are detected, the method includes operating a display to notify a user that differences are detected, using conflict resolution techniques to automatically determine a resolved configuration, and updating a configuration of the hydrocarbon control system with the resolved configuration. If no differences are detected, the method includes operating the display to notify the user that no differences are detected and updating the configuration of the hydrocarbon control system with the first configuration or the second configuration.

Systems and methods for a hydrocarbon configuration tool

A system includes a first asset and a second asset disposed at an industrial system, and a server communicatively coupled to the first asset and the second asset. The server device is configured to receive a first set of stream-based data from the first asset and generate a model for the second asset based on the first set of stream-based data, wherein the model is configured to output an expected set of stream-based data associated with the second asset; receive a second set of stream-based data from the second asset; and send a command to the first asset or the second asset in response to the second set of stream-based data being outside of a threshold from the expected set of stream-based data.

Systems and methods for analyzing stream-based data for asset operation

A method may include receiving, via at least one processor of a cloud-computing system, an indication that a portion of a workflow is complete. Here, the workflow is associated with commissioning one or more well devices at a hydrocarbon site. The method may then include identifying one or more subsequent portions of the workflow to be performed and sending the one or more subsequent portions to one or more computing devices associated with one or more users assigned to the one or more well devices.

Systems and methods for cloud-based commissioning of well devices

A system includes a first asset disposed in an industrial environment configured to perform one or more operations, a second asset disposed in the industrial environment, and a server device communicatively coupled to the first asset and the second asset. The server device is configured to receive a first set of stream-based data from the first asset, receive a second set of stream-based data from the second asset, wherein the first set of stream-based data and the second set of stream-based data are received in real time or near real time, determine whether the one or more operations are within a threshold based on a comparison of the first set of stream-based data with respect to the second set of stream-based data, and send a command to the first asset or the second asset in response to the one or more operations being outside the threshold.

Systems and methods for controlling asset operation using stream-based processing in multi-node networks

A remote terminal unit (RTU) may control one or more operations a well device associated with a hydrocarbon well. The RTU may include a processor that may broadcast a request to communicatively couple to a cloud-computing system. The processor may then receive a confirmation from the cloud-computing system indicating that the RTU has successfully communicatively coupled to the cloud-computing system and send one or more attributes regarding the RTU, the well device, the hydrocarbon well, or any combination thereof to the cloud-computing system. The processor may then receive one or more software packages from the cloud-computing system based on the attributes. Using the software packages, the processor may control the operations of the well device.

Systems and methods for cloud-based automatic configuration of remote terminal units

A system includes a first asset disposed at a first location in an industrial system configured to perform one or more operations, a second asset disposed at a second location in the industrial system, and a server device communicatively coupled to the first asset and the second asset. The server device is configured to receive a first set of stream-based data from the first asset, receive a second set of stream-based data from the second asset, identify a first portion of the first set of stream-based data and a second portion of the second set of stream-based data, wherein the first portion and the second portion comprises a same type of data, determine whether the first portion of the first set of stream-based data corresponds to an expected range of values based on the second portion of the second set of stream-based data, and send a command to the first asset to adjust a first set of operations in response to the first portion of the first set of stream-based data not being within the expected range of values.

A method for a cloud-computing system to communicatively couple with a remote terminal unit (RTU) that monitors and/or controls one or more operations a well device associated with a hydrocarbon well may include receiving, via at least one processor, a request from an asset attempting to communicatively couple with the cloud-computing system. The method may then include determining whether the asset is known and receiving one or more attributes regarding the asset when the asset is not known. After receiving the attributes, the method may include determining whether a profile that corresponds to the one or more attributes exists and sending configuration data to the asset based on the profile when the profile exists.

The mobile computing device is also configured to download data from the one or more RTUs via the second communication network, communicatively couple to the cloud-based computing system in response to detecting access to the first communication network, and transmit the data to the cloud-based computing system via the first communication network.

Systems and methods for transferring data from remote sites

An industrial data indexing system facilitates discovery and indexing of plant-wide data residing on multiple different data platforms. The indexing system automatically inventories industrial devices and other data sources located throughout a plant, and identifies available data items on each data source. The indexing system indexes the discovered data items in a federated data model that can subsequently be searched to locate data items or tags of interest. The federated data model records references to data items found on different types of data sources, including but not limited to industrial controller programs, human-machine interface applications, data historians, device documentation stores, inventory tracking systems, and other such data sources. The search system also caches selected portions of the data model to a user's personal device to allow these portion of the model to be accessed locally on the user's device without being online with the higher level indexing system.
