A method of generating, at an IIOT device mounted to equipment of a drilling system, a relay variable, a measurement variable, or a control variable and a message having an IP address. Classifying, by application services of a cloud service provider, the relay variable, the measurement variable, or the control variable; identifying a category or a category and sub-category from a plurality of categories and sub-categories based on variable; cataloguing the relay variable, the measurement variable, or the control variable based on the category or the category and the sub-category; selecting from a library of catalogued relay variables, measurement variables, and control variables, at least one selected from a group comprising a parameter and a value; and identifying a pattern using a statistics based algorithm, the statistics based algorithm using a standard operating procedure, the parameter and the value, the pattern indicating a deviation in the standard operating procedure.

Control system for automating drilling operations

An apparatus used to provide preprocessed variables to a predictive engine. The predictive engine generates predictive results, based on the variables, to automate well site operations. The apparatus comprises an analysis module, a pattern recognition module, and a library module. The analysis module identifies a well site operation by examining a well site operation variable, determines categories and standard operating procedures associated with the categories using the well site operation and a-priori information, and searches a library of historical information using the categories. The historical information comprising classified procedures and recommendations of historic well site operations. The pattern recognition module identifies a pattern using a statistics based algorithm. The algorithm uses the standard operating procedures, the categories, and the classified procedures and recommendations. The pattern indicating a deviation in the standard operating procedure. The library module classifies the well site operation variables and stores the classified variables.
