Systems and methods for generating and a controller for controlling generation of geothermal power in an organic Rankine cycle (ORC) operation to thereby supply electrical power to one or more of in-field operational equipment, a grid power structure, and an energy storage device. In an embodiment, during hydrocarbon production, a temperature of a flow of heated fluid from a source or working fluid may be determined.

A method for recording data relating to the performance of an oil and gas flow network uses statistical data to represent raw data in a compact form. Categories are assigned to time intervals in the data. The method comprises: (1) gathering data covering a period of time, wherein the data relates to the status of one or more control point(s) within the flow network and to one or more flow parameter(s) of interest in one or more flow path(s) of the flow network; (2) identifying multiple time intervals in the data during which the control points and the flow parameter(s) can be designated as being in a category selected from multiple categories; (3) assigning a selected category of the multiple categories to each one of the multiple datasets that are framed by the multiple time intervals; and (4) extracting statistical data representative of some or all of the datasets identified in step (2) to thereby represent the original data from step (1) in a compact form including details of the category assigned to each time interval in step (3).
