The present invention is directed to incrementing a well service rig in such
a manner that activity-based and/or time-based data for the well site is recorded.
The acquired data can be transmitted via wired, wireless, satellite or physical
to a data center preferably controlled by the work-over rig owner, but alternately
controlled by the well owner or another. The data can thereafter be used to provide
the customer a detailed invoice or a searchable, secure web-based database. With
such information, the customer can schedule other services at the well site. Further,
the customer will have access to detailed data on the actual service performed.
The present invention fosters a synergistic relationship among the customer and
the service companies that promotes a safe environment by monitoring crew work
activities and equipment speeds; improving productivity; reducing operation expenses
through improved job processes; and better data management and reduced operational failures.
