Abstract:

A distributed managed system including targets, clients, and a management processor. Each client is adapted to originate commands with at least some commands having a desired destination of one or more targets. The management processor is adapted to receive commands originated by the clients and generate a context value for each received command having a desired destination. The context value indicates a particular client that originated the command. The management processor adds the context value to each corresponding command to create commands with context and dispatches commands with context to the desired destination. At least one target is adapted to receive the commands with context, interpret the context value to identify the particular client that originated the command, and process the commands with context.

In certain aspects, the one or more locations may include downhole or at the surface of the one or more wells.
