Abstract
Processes for determining if a well-operation tool is present within a wellhead, including receiving object-based sensory information by a controller circuit, where the object-based sensory information is generated by a sensor. The process also includes processing sensory information to determine if the signal has a property indicating that the well-operational tool is or is not present within the wellhead. The process further includes generating a visual signal which indicates that the well-operation tool is or is not present within the wellhead and generating an actuation command for a valve actuator control system configured to maintain an operational position of a wellhead control mechanism of the wellhead based upon the processing step if the well-operation tool is present within the wellhead and to change an operational position of the well control mechanism if the well-operation tool is not present within the wellhead.
