Monitor electric submersible pumps to reduce deferred production from ESP operated wells

Page last modified
April 11 2024

ESP failure is a leading cause of deferred production in ESP operated wells. The average electric submersible pump (ESP) runs to failure in just 2-3 years, due to harsh operating conditions. Failure is often unexpected, making it difficult to replace the ESP in a short time frame. What’s more, efforts to prolong ESP run life often center around data from downhole sensors, which can fail themselves due to the harsh conditions down the well. There are three concrete problems that SAM4 looks to solve within the realm of ESPs: 

  1. Non-productive time ranges 16 days to 7 months awaiting ESP replacement
  2. Downhole sensors often fail even before the ESP does, leaving operators blind
  3. Electric submersible pumps mostly fail due to electrical failures

We are able to detect 80% of the most crucial failure modes on ESPs prior to the failure occurring. This enables operators to mobilize a workover rig, arrange for the necessary replacements and schedule a crew to ensure the non-productive time of your wells is as short as possible. 

 

SAM4 is a plug-and-play condition monitoring solution which install inside the topside motor control cabinet, this enables us to monitor equipment that is situated in the most extreme conditions. Trained AI models provide our customers with insights on the health as well as the energy inefficiency of their assets through our online dashboard.
