System and method for drilling rig state determination
A method for drilling a borehole in a subsurface formation includes receiving measured values indicative of operations performed by drilling equipment while drilling. The measured values include hookload values. The hookload values are analyzed to identify hookload values acquired while connecting a drill pipe, and a block weight value is set based on such a hookload value. The block weight value is subtracted from the hookload values to produce rebased hookload values. A rig state model produces a value for a state of the drilling equipment based on the measured values and the rebased hookload values. Responsive to the state of the drilling equipment, an operation performed to drill the subsurface formation is changed.

Abrégé
A process for use in managing a hydrocarbon production system includes: selecting, from among a plurality of changes proposed to operating parameters of the hydrocarbon production system, the proposed change with the greatest estimated positive change in production; assessing whether the selected change violates an operating constraint; based on said assessment, producing a valid change based on at least the selected change or identifying the selected change as an unusable change, iterating the above steps, the iteration excluding the valid change from the plurality of proposed changes; and implementing at least one valid change, the number of implemented valid changes being less than the number of proposed changes.
Seismic data may provide valuable information with regard to the description such as the location and/or change of hydrocarbon deposits within a subsurface region of the Earth. The present disclosure generally discusses techniques that may be used by a computing system to interpolate or deblend data utilizing a projection on convex sets (POCS) interpolation algorithm. The utilized POCS interpolation algorithm operates in parallel for frequency of a set of frequencies of a seismic frequency spectrum.

Seismic data filtering based on distances between seismic sources
Techniques for processing of seismic data. A seismic data set is received, wherein the seismic data set comprises a first data subset associated with a first seismic source and a second data subset associated with a second seismic source. An input is received indicating that a distance between the first seismic source and the second seismic source is greater than or equal to a threshold value. The second data set is filtered from the seismic data set to remove the second data subset from seismic data set to generate a filtered seismic data set in response to receiving the input and a coherence volume is generated based on the filtered seismic data set.
