  • Patent number: 9292799
    Abstract: Methods and systems for predicting failures in an artificial lift system are disclosed. One method includes extracting one or more features from a dataset including time sampled performance of a plurality of artificial lift systems disposed across a plurality of different oil fields, the dataset including data from failed and normally operating artificial lift systems. The method also includes forming a learning model based on identified pre-failure signatures in the extracted features, the learning model configured to predict a failure of an artificial lift system based on observation of one of the identified pre-failure signatures in operational data received from the artificial lift system.
    Type: Grant
