Abstract: A method comprises operating an electric submersible pump (ESP) motor downhole in a well. The ESP motor is electrically connected to a variable speed drive (VSD) proximate to the well. The operating comprises measuring a revolution rate and a motor current of the ESP motor for a first period of time and performing a first adjustment of a voltage output of the VSD. The method comprises measuring, after the first adjustment, the revolution rate and the motor current of the ESP motor for a second period of time determining a difference between the motor current measured for the first period of time and the motor current measured for the second period of time; and performing a second adjustment of the voltage output of the VSD based on a change in the revolution rate and the motor current between the first period of time and the second period of time.

Abstract: A motor of an electric submersible pump (ESP) is positioned in a wellbore. Measured data is received from one or more sensors. A first deep learning model running on a motor controller of the ESP determines first operating parameters or first operating conditions for the ESP based on the measured data. The motor controller sends the first operating parameters or first operating conditions to a centralized computer system. A second deep learning model running on the centralized computer system determines second operating parameters or second operating conditions associated with the ESP based on the first operating parameters or first operating conditions. The centralized computer system sends the second operating parameters or second operating conditions to the motor controller. The motor controller adjusts operation of the motor of the ESP based on the second operating parameters or second operating conditions.

Abstract: A system, method and apparatus for autonomous data collection from variable frequency drives (VFD) is described. The system includes at least two embedded control systems, each built on a commercial platform, with customized components in transportable cases. A computer program with multiple instantiations operates on the at least two embedded control systems to provide a client-server implementation of data collection and recording units. The units communicate by Wi-Fi autonomously when the client comes within range of the server. Units do not require any direct intervention by technicians to gather and store VFD system data. The client is a mobile unit is installed in a field truck operated by a driver without the training to operate a VFD. When the mobile unit obtains a communications link to a central receiving server, the unit uploads its data for processing in a processing system.
