Abstract

A system for managing well site operations comprising a well site operations module, a chain of blocks of a distributed network, and a sensor bank and control module. The operations module generates earth model variables using a physics model, well log variables or seismic variables, or both, and a trained AI/ML algorithmic model. The chain of blocks comprises a plurality of subsequent blocks. Each subsequent block comprises a well site entry and a hash value of a previous well site entry. A well site entry comprises transacted operation control variables. The well site operations module generates production operation control variables or development operation control variables from earth model variables. The well site entry can also include transacted earth model variables and sensor variables. The sensor bank and control module provides well log variables and the operations module couples control variables to the control module to control well site equipment.
