Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method for monitoring a hydrocarbon storage system. The system and method for using the system allows the operator to determine if any undesired releases of gaseous hydrocarbons are occurring. The method utilizes a computer programmed with a process simulator function suitable for miming equations of state and determining the unwanted release of hydrocarbons from a hydrocarbon storage system.

Abstract: A method, a computer program product, and a system for pump control that incorporates software algorithms, artificial intelligence, subject matter expertise and hardware for the autonomous optimization of a rod pump in a producing oil well, including various systems. The subject of the invention that is named here The Rod Pump Surveillancer System, is a built in a Pump Controller and integrates themodels for generation and diagnostic classification of dynamometer cards, the Neural Fuzzy Logic Algorithm for a programmable logic controller functioning stand alone, or connected to an edge computer, a server at the office or in the cloud, and the program software for the Human Machine Interphase. The method includes a developed model to generate downhole dynamometer cards based on data from two sensors. A programmable logic controller and a Human Machine Interphase device is used to further enhance control capabilities.

Abstract: Disclosed is a compressor system suitable for carrying out artificial gas lift operations at an oil or gas well. Also disclosed is a method for controlling the compressor system. The methods disclosed provide the well operator with the ability to identify and maintain gas injection rates which result in the minimum production pressure. The minimum production pressure will be determined either by a bottom hole sensor or a casing pressure sensor located at the surface or any convenient location capable of monitoring pressure at the wellhead.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention disclose a method, a computer program product, and a system for removing gas locking in a pump. The method includes setting the pump into a gas interference condition based on a variable speed drive driving a pump at a first frequency and a choke valve set at a first restriction value and adjusting the variable speed drive to a second frequency and the choke valve to a second restriction value such that the adjustment produces a backpressure that lets free gas get dissolved in a fluid phase and keeps fluids drawn by the pump at a single-phase flow based on pressure-volume-temperature characteristics of the fluids.
