Abstract:
1. A method for drilling at least two wellbores from an offsite location, each of the at least two wellbores located at a respective wellsite having a drilling rig with a downhole drilling tool suspended therefrom, comprising: selectively advancing each of the downhole drilling tools into the earth to form the at least two wellbores, the downhole drilling tools operated according to respective wellsite setups; collecting wellsite parameters from a plurality of sensors positioned about the wellsites; transmitting at least a portion of the wellsite parameters from each of the wellsites to an offsite control center; performing an analysis of the wellsite parameters from each of the wellsites, wherein the analysis of the wellsite parameters from each of the wellsites comprises: comparing the wellsite parameters from each of the wellsites to the respective wellsite setup to determine any deviation from the wellsite setup; and combining and comparing the wellsite parameters from each of the wellsites for synergistic analysis of the wellbore parameters; and transmitting a command from the offsite control center to a transceiver positioned at each of the wellsites, wherein the command alters a trajectory of the downhole drilling tool and is based on the analysis of the wellsite parameters.
