Abstract

A method includes conducting a downhole operation to access a reservoir, providing a control platform in communication with equipment units from different operational systems affecting bottom hole pressure in the downhole operation, and collecting into the control platform data from multiple operational systems used in the downhole operation. Another method further includes inputting at least one command into a single human-machine interface and sending the at least one command from the human-machine interface to a master controller for implementation of the command(s) through the control platform in order to operate the control platform through the single human-machine interface

15. The method of claim 10, wherein the operational systems are in communication through a control platform, the control platform comprising a communication data bus linking the master controller with the operational systems.
16. The method of claim 10, wherein determining the equipment operation sequence comprises: accessing the data with an automation planner, the automation planner comprising instructions to identify and analyze the data; and generating the equipment operation sequence from the automation planner based on the data; wherein the equipment operation sequence generated from the automation planner is issued to the master controller for execution of the commands.
17. The method of claim 10, wherein one or more of the commands of the equipment operation sequence is inputted by an operator.
18. A drilling system, comprising: multiple operational systems, each operational system comprising equipment units designed to perform an operation of a downhole operation; a control platform in communication with the multiple operational systems; and a master controller in communication with control functions of the equipment units from different operational systems affecting wellbore pressure in the downhole operation.
