==LOCAL/HYBRID BLOCKCHAIN FOR OIL AND GAS OPERATIONS INTEGRITY - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240289468 titled 'LOCAL/HYBRID BLOCKCHAIN FOR OIL AND GAS OPERATIONS INTEGRITY

==Simplified Explanation==
The patent application describes methods and systems for blockchain-related systems in oil and gas infrastructure. It involves nodes at infrastructure sites storing blockchain data and splitting the blockchain when communication with another node is unavailable.

* The system includes nodes at oil or gas infrastructure sites.
* Nodes have memory to store blockchain data and processors to manage data.
* When communication with another node is unavailable, the system can split the blockchain and add data to the split blockchain.

==Key Features and Innovation==
* Nodes at oil and gas infrastructure sites store blockchain data.
* System can split the blockchain when communication with another node is not available.
* Provides a way to ensure data integrity and continuity in the blockchain network.

==Potential Applications==
This technology can be applied in various industries beyond oil and gas, such as supply chain management, healthcare, and finance.

==Problems Solved==
* Ensures data integrity in blockchain networks.
* Addresses the issue of communication failures between nodes in the network.

==Benefits==
* Improved reliability and continuity of blockchain data.
* Enhanced security and trust in the blockchain network.

==Commercial Applications==
* Supply chain management systems.
* Financial transactions and record-keeping.
* Healthcare data management.

==Questions about Blockchain-Related Systems for Oil and Gas Infrastructure==
1. How does the system handle data when communication with another node is unavailable?
2. What are the potential implications of splitting the blockchain in terms of data security and integrity?


==Original Abstract Submitted==

methods and systems for blockchain-related systems for oil and gas infrastructure are disclosed. in one aspect, a blockchain-related system includes a node disposed at an oil or gas infrastructure site, the node including a memory configured to store blockchain data; and a processor configured to: receive a first data item to append to a blockchain; add the first data item to the blockchain; but when communication to a second node is not available, the blockchain-related system may split the blockchain and add the first data item to the split blockchain.
