    Abstract: A method of controlling a pumping sequence of a fracturing fleet at a wellsite. A managing application executing on a computer in the control van can retrieve the pumping sequence from a local or remote storage computer. The managing application can establish an electronic communication link to receive sensor data from a plurality of fracturing units. The managing application can control the plurality of fracturing units with a stage script with multiple sequential instructions for a pumping stage of a pumping sequence while receiving one or more periodic data sets from the plurality of fracturing units wherein the data sets are indicative of the current state of the pumping stage of the pumping sequence.

    Abstract: A production monitoring system includes a distributed acoustic sensing subsystem that includes a first optical fiber for a distributed acoustic sensing signal and a distributed temperature sensing subsystem that includes a second optical fiber for a distributed temperature sensing signal. The production monitoring system, also includes a cable positioned in a wellbore penetrating through one or more subterranean formations. The distributed acoustic sensing subsystem is communicatively coupled to the cable through the distributed temperature sensing subsystem. The cable includes one or more optical fibers used to obtain optical fiber measurements pertaining to the distributed acoustic sensing signal and the distributed temperature sensing signal. The optical fibers include a sensing fiber that is common between the distributed acoustic sensing subsystem and the distributed temperature sensing subsystem. The distributed acoustic sensing subsystem, receives at least a portion of the optical fiber measurements from the sensing fiber through the distributed temperature sensing subsystem.

    Abstract: A downhole sensor deployment assembly includes a body attachable to a completion string and one or more arms pivotably coupled to the body. A sensor pad is coupled to each arm and movable from a retracted position, where the sensor pad is stowed adjacent the completion string, and an actuated position, where the sensor pad is extended radially away from the completion string. One or more actuators are pivotably coupled to the body at a first end and pivotably coupled to a corresponding one of the one or more arms at a second end, the one or more actuators being operable to move the sensor pad to the actuated position. One or more sensor devices are coupled to the sensor pad for determining a resistivity of a formation, the one or more sensor devices comprising at least one of a sensing electrode, a transceiver, and a transmitter.
