Stian Lode

A system for conducting a subterranean operation can include a retention feature in a drill floor with the retention feature configured to suspend a tubular string from the drill floor via engagement of the retention feature with the tubular string, an imaging system configured to capture images of a visible feature on a portion of the tubular string that extends above the drill floor; and a processor configured to detect a change in a position of the visible feature while the tubular string is engaged with the retention feature, and the processor being configured to calculate a wear status of the retention feature based upon the change in the position of the tubular string.

Slip wear detection

A method and system for conducting a subterranean operation that can include storing, via a rig controller, pre-determined characteristics of a piece of equipment, for supporting the subterranean operation, in a unique data record associated with the piece of equipment; scanning, via one or more sensors, the piece of equipment on a rig; determining, via the rig controller, actual characteristics of the piece of equipment in response to the scanning via the one or more sensors; comparing, via the rig controller, the actual characteristics to the pre-determined characteristics; and verifying whether or not the piece of equipment is an expected piece of equipment needed to support the subterranean operation based on the comparing.
