Abstract
The invention relates to a method of performing a drilling operation for an oilfield. The method includes collecting oilfield data, a portion of the oilfield data being real-time drilling data generated from the oilfield during drilling, defining a number of oilfield events based on the oilfield data, selectively displaying the number of oilfield events in proximity of a wellbore image of a display, updating the display of the number of oilfield events during drilling based on the real-time drilling data.
