  • Publication number: 20190204467
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for cloud-based oil and gas well monitoring. The solution comprises a concentrator located electrically on the input side of an artificial lift drive motor or pump, and measures single or three-phase voltage, current and power. The concentrator includes a communication means, antenna, power supply, microprocessor, and voltage and current transducer means. The concentrator sends status and measurement information to the server system. The server system processes and stores concentrator data, and provides a web interface for a user to view live data, analyze graphs and reports, view a map-based UI showing overall status of devices and wells, and configure alerts based on conditions. An aspect adds a Smart Artificial Lift Receiver that interfaces with various sensors, and connects to a concentrator through an interface. The augmented concentrator links with the smart pump concentrator, processing the sensor data similarly to the voltage and current data already measured.
