1. An apparatus comprising:
a monitoring system of a well construction system, wherein the well construction system is located at a wellsite and comprises a plurality of pieces of equipment operable to perform well construction operations, and wherein the monitoring system comprises:
a plurality of sensors each disposed in association with a corresponding piece of equipment and operable to facilitate sensor data indicative of operational status of that piece of equipment;
a first communication device at a location remote from the wellsite;
a second communication device; and
a monitoring device comprising a processor and a memory storing an executable program code, wherein during the well construction operations the monitoring device is operable to:
receive the sensor data;
automatically detect an abnormal condition associated with a corresponding piece of equipment based on the sensor data; and
output abnormal condition information indicative of the abnormal condition to the first communication device;
wherein the first communication device is operable to:
responsive to the output of the abnormal condition information associated with the piece of equipment, communicatively connect the first communication device, at the location remote from the wellsite, with the piece of equipment, at the wellsite, associated with the abnormal condition to receive operational information;
display the abnormal condition information and the operational information to technical support personnel;
responsive to the display, receive, from the technical support personnel, mitigation information indicative of action to be performed by maintenance personnel on one or more of the pieces of equipment to mitigate the abnormal condition prior to field escalation at the wellsite; and
output the mitigation information to the second communication device for viewing by the maintenance personnel.
