Abstract
A system and method is provided for facilitating remote real-time surveillance, management, optimization, and control of pumping systems at a wellsite. A variety of sensors are deployed along pumping systems, such as electric submersible pumping systems, positioned in wellbores. Data from the sensors is output in real-time to a remote location via a network. The system analyzes the data to identify problems and potential problems in the pumping systems and suggest possible causes and corrective measures. The network can be used to provide two-way communication such that control signals may then be sent from the remote location to the pumping systems. Alarms may also be triggered when sensor data or data trends fall outside predetermined ranges.
Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention generally relates to well systems, and in particular to the management and optimization of well systems that use pumps, such as electric submersible pump (ESP) systems or pumping systems located at the earth's surface, for pumping hydrocarbon-based fluids.
- 2. Description of Related Art
- In many artificially lifted wells, pumping systems are used to produce a desired fluid, e.g. petroleum, to a collection point. For example, a wellbore may be drilled into a subterranean reservoir, and the pumping system is used to lift fluid from the reservoir location to the collection point. Pumps are used to intake fluid from the wellbore and to pump the fluid upwardly or laterally through the wellbore via, for example, production tubing. Instrumentation can be deployed in the wellbore to monitor operation of the pumping system, which may be submersible or surface-mounted.
- Although wellbore pumping monitoring and diagnostics systems have been in use for many years, the ability to transfer the data and/or utilize the data in controlling and optimizing pumping system operation has heretofore been limited.
- In general, the present invention provides an improved system and method for cost effective real-time surveillance, management, optimization, and control of wellbore pumping systems at one or more wellsites. The technique utilizes real-time surveillance of wellbore pumping systems, transfer of data to one or more remote locations, provision of warnings based on the data, analysis of the data, and control over the one or more wellsites, and is designed to make the identification of wells with performance deficiencies highly efficient. A communications network is used to carry surveillance data and control signals in two-way communication.

- The present invention generally relates to a system and method for remote real-time surveillance, control, and optimization of wellbore pumping systems, e.g. electric submersible pumping systems, at a wellsite. The technique enables a well operator or well field manager to better manage and optimize operation a plurality of pumping systems without physically attending the wellsite. For example, the system and methodology enhances the monitoring, surveillance, diagnostics, and optimization of electric submersible pumps using real-time and on-time data in a cost efficient manner.
- Referring generally to
FIG. 1 , one embodiment of an overall surveillance andcontrol system 20 is illustrated. In this embodiment, awellsite 22 comprises one ormore pumping systems 24, such as electric submersible pumping systems, for pumping fluid. In a typical application, thesubmersible pumping systems 24 are used to pump hydrocarbon-based fluids, e.g. oil, from geological formations beneath the surface of the earth. - Surveillance and
control system 20 further comprises aremote control center 26 where surveillance data is obtained fromwellsite 22 andpumping systems 24 on a real-time and on-time basis.Control center 26 may comprise one or more processor-basedcontrol systems 28, such as computer-based workstations where wellsite operators or managers can observe data obtained fromwellsite 22 andpumping systems 24. This data is used for analysis, planning, and decision-making with respect to operation ofpumping systems 24 and the overall wellsite. Additionally,control systems 28 can be used to provide control instructions to wellsite 22 along with, for example, action updates, data polling, and queries. - Either at
remote control center 26 or at another remote location, surveillance andcontrol system 20 comprises adata storage system 30 for retaining historical data.Data storage system 30 also can be used to provide user security controls, alarm and alert management, business process management, and other functionality in cooperation withremote control center 26. For example,remote control center 26 anddata storage system 30 enable a multidiscipline collaboration and historical interrogation of wellsite data to aid in diagnostic analysis and optimization of pumping system operation. -
Control system 28 in cooperation withdata storage system 30 also can be used to instigate alarms/alerts when real-time data or data trends indicate changes causing concern with respect to operation ofwellsite 22, e.g. movement of parameter values into a sub-optimal range or beyond a predetermined threshold value. The alerts can be provided atcontrol system 28 and/or at a variety of other monitoring locations. For example, the alerts may be provided to remotehandheld devices 32, such ascellular telephones 34 or personaldigital assistants 36. - The two-way communication between
wellsite 22 and the various remote locations, e.g.remote control center 26,data storage system 30, and remotehandheld devices 32, is accomplished over anetwork 38. Network 38 can be established via a variety of transmission mechanisms, including wired andwireless mechanisms 40. For example, the two-way communication of data betweenwellsite 22 and the remote locations can be sent at least in part over the Internet. Portions of the network may be hardwired, may comprisesatellites 42 for satellite transmission, may comprise cellular orradio towers 44 for wireless transfer, or may comprise a variety of other data transmission technologies for conveying data, including real-time data, between thewellsite 22 and the various remote locations of surveillance andcontrol system 20. -
Control system 28 is designed to automate processing of much of the data flow within surveillance andcontrol system 20. In the present example,control system 28 is a computer-based system having a central processing unit (CPU) 46, as illustrated inFIG. 2 .CPU 46 is a microprocessor based CPU for rapidly processing data obtained fromwelisite 22, fromdata storage system 30, and/or from other locations coupled toremote control center 26 vianetwork 38. Furthermore,CPU 46 is operatively coupled to amemory 48, as well as aninput device 50 and anoutput device 52.Input device 50 may comprise a variety of devices, such as a keyboard, mouse, voice-recognition unit, touchscreen, other input devices, or combinations of such devices.Output device 52 may comprise a visual and/or audio output device, such as a monitor having a graphical user interface. Additionally, the processing may be done on a single device or multiple devices. - As illustrated by the flowchart of
FIG. 3 ,control system 28 and overall surveillance andcontrol system 20 increase well management functionality while reducing costs by enabling easy use of real-time and historical data at any of a variety of locations remote from the managed wellsite. For example, surveillance andcontrol system 20 enables the sampling of well-related parameters at individual wells withinwellsite 22, as indicated byblock 54. The system further promotes accumulation of this data at one or more remote sites, such asdata storage system 30 and/orremote control center 26, as indicated byblock 56.Control system 28 andCPU 46 enable the use of this data to generate a variety of reports, as indicated byblock 58. The reports can be used to aid analysis, planning, and decision-making regarding operation ofwellsite 22. Additionally, the storage of data output overnetwork 38 fromwellsite 22 enables the construction of data trends, as indicated byblock 60. The data trends, including those developed on a real-time basis, also aid in the analysis, planning, and decision-making that allow operation of the wellsite to be optimized. Based on the data output from pumpingsystems 24 andwellsite 22, the management ofwellsite 22 can be accomplished from a variety of remote locations, such asremote control center 26. Also based on analysis of the data, control signals can be output from remote devices,e.g. control system 28 or remotehandheld devices 32, to wellsite 22, as indicated byblock 62. The analysis can be automated analysis performed atcontrol center 26. - The use of communication tools, such as
network 38,control system 28, remotehandheld devices 32,data storage systems 30, and other potential devices coupled intonetwork 38, enables a well operator to facilitate surveillance and optimization of well behavior without traveling to the specific wellsite. As illustrated in the flowchart ofFIG. 4 , the well operator can access all well-related information vianetwork 38, as illustrated byblock 64. In this embodiment, the well operator has access to all well-related information via the Internet. The well operator also can enable many approaches to surveillance and control from a variety of remote locations via the two-way communication network 38, as illustrated byblock 66. - Furthermore, the well operator can program
control system 28 andCPU 46 to provide alerts/warnings when well-related parameters fall outside a desired range or cross a specific set point, as illustrated byblock 68. In many applications, the set points can be changed by sending appropriate control signals to wellsite 22 from a remote location, e.g. fromremote control center 26 or from remotehandheld devices 32. The use ofnetwork 38 also enables a well operator to control multiple well systems from one or more remote locations, as illustrated byblock 70. Additionally, the storage of data bydata storage system 30 and the processing of both real-time and historical data oncontrol system 28 enables a wide variety of analyses to be performed by the well operator and/or others to better plan and optimize well operation, as illustrated byblock 72. In some applications, the combination of real-time monitoring and data analysis, either automatic analysis atcontrol center 26 or human analysis, ensures optimum performance of wellsite equipment, including electric pumping systems, variable speed drive controllers, multisensor artificial lift monitoring systems, and a variety of other components and systems. - One example of a
wellsite 22 and welisite equipment used in the production of hydrocarbon-based fluids is illustrated inFIG. 5 . In this embodiment,wellsite 22 comprises a plurality ofwellbores 74 drilled in aformation 76. Within each well bore 74, apumping system 24, comprising an electricsubmersible pumping system 78, is deployed. Instrumentation, such as a plurality ofsensor devices 80, is deployed along each electricsubmersible pumping system 78 and may be internal to the pumping system, external to the pumping system, and/or disposed at separate locations within thewellbore 74. Examples ofsensor devices 80 include temperature sensors, e.g. distributed temperature sensors, pressure sensors, vibration sensors, multisensors, flow rate sensors, voltage sensors, current sensors, and/or other sensors able to output signals corresponding to the measured parameter in real-time. - In addition to sensor devices and other surveillance equipment, surveillance and
control system 20 may comprise a variety ofcontrollable devices 82 which regulate operation of each electricsubmersible pumping system 78.Controllable devices 82 are controlled remotely via control signals sent overnetwork 38 from one or more remote locations, such asremote control center 26. One example of acontrollable device 82 is a variable speed drive that can be controlled remotely. However,controllable devices 82 may comprise a variety of other controllable devices, including valves, heaters, and other components that may be used in cooperation with the electricsubmersible pumping systems 78. Each of thecontrollable devices 82 responds to specific control instructions input at a remote location, e.g.control center 26. - In the embodiment illustrated,
controllable devices 82, e.g. pump controllers, andsensor devices 80, interface with asite communications box 84 which is used to relay signals between the various wellsite devices andnetwork 38. By way of example, thesite communications box 84 may comprise a satellite radio and process-assistedcommunicator 86 for relaying signals to and fromsatellite 42. The data fromwellsite 22, for example, can be transferred to aremote management system 88 that provides Internet access to the data from a variety of Internet accessibleremote locations 90, as illustrated inFIG. 6 . Theremote management system 88 may form part ofremote control center 26, orremote management system 88 may be located separately. In the latter embodiment,control center 26 is coupled in communication withremote management system 88 via the Internet. - As illustrated in
FIG. 6 andFIG. 1 , the structure ofnetwork 38 can vary substantially. This flexibility greatly enhances the remote surveillance and control capabilities ofsystem 20 with respect to electricsubmersible pumping systems 78 and other equipment atwellsite 22. Access to surveillance and/or control can be provided at numerousremote locations 90 and to numerous types of devices. For example, surveillance and control functionality may be provided to a computer-basedworkstation 92 at, for example,remote control center 26. However, surveillance and/or control capability can be provided to portable devices such as alaptop computer 94 and/or one or more types of portablehandheld devices 32. - In one embodiment, surveillance and
control system 20 comprises a web-based application that allows individuals to monitor and control equipment at one ormore wellsites 22 from virtually anywhere in the world. In this embodiment, an operator requires only a web browser and an Internet connection to gain access at a variety ofremote locations 90. With the use of, for example, a graphical user interface, the operator can simply click on-screen buttons and select drop-down menus to easily access any monitored and/or control points, as discussed more fully below. Of course, access to the system can be controlled by various security measures, including user profile permissions as set by, for example, a project supervisor. - Examples of graphical user interfaces and of functionality available at these remote locations is illustrated in
FIGS. 7 through 16 . Referring first toFIG. 7 , agraphical user interface 96 is displayed on, for example, adisplay screen 98, such as a computer display screen. By selecting, e.g. clicking on, one of a plurality of on-screen buttons 100, a variety ofdisplays 102 can be chosen by an operator. In the example illustrated,display 102 provides an overview screen having a summary of important input/output points from the one ormore wellsites 22. Examples of the information displayed may include a list ofwells 104; a list ofdates 106 that correspond withindividual wells 104; a list ofwellhead pressures 108; a list ofcasing head pressures 110; a list of drive frequencies 112; a list of currents 114; a list of corresponding voltages 116; a list of intake pressures 118; and a list ofintake temperatures 120. The data for each of these input/output points is provided by the transmission of data fromsensor devices 80, throughnetwork 38, and to, for example,control system 28 which utilizesCPU 46 to process the data and categorize the data as displayed viagraphical user interface 96. It should be noted, however, that other or additional data can be selected for display. - Another example of the functionality of surveillance and
control system 20 is illustrated inFIG. 8 . In this example, an operator has selected theappropriate button 100 to display the “current” screen having current values for all input/output points at a specific well or wellsite. As illustrated, the data is arranged in columns listing the specific input/output point 122; the current values 124 of the measured parameters; theunits 126 by which the parameters are measured; the status of the parameters 128 (e.g. whether each parameter is within an appropriate predefined range); and, if applicable, theexact time 130 at which each parameter was measured at the specific input/output point. Many of the input/output values are in real-time, however other parameters may be polled or measured on a periodic basis. - In
FIG. 9 , another example of the functionality of surveillance andcontrol system 20 is illustrated. In this embodiment, an operator has selected theappropriate button 100 to display a “history” screen that enables the printing, graphing, exporting, and/or e-mailing of historical information obtained from, for example,sensor devices 80 and stored, for example, ondata storage system 30. By way of example, thegraphical user interface 96 enables selection of the historical period of interest (see block 132) and the selection of specific input/output points at wellsite 22 (see block 134). - The functionality of surveillance and
control system 20 also enables an operator to set and monitor specific alarm parameters for one or more wells andwellsites 22, as illustrated inFIG. 10 . In this embodiment,graphical user interface 96 provides an operator with information on specific wells. The information is arranged in columns by, for example,wellsite name 136; input/output 138 for which an alarm has been set; status of thealarm 140 for each well;time stamp 142 on last reported activity; and the action taken 144. If an alarm has been set for a specific parameter, thestatus area 140 indicates when the value of that parameter moves outside of a predetermined/optimal range or beyond a set threshold level.Control system 28 andCPU 46 also can be programmed to output an alarm signal to one or more remotehandheld devices 32, e.g.cellular telephone 34 or personaldigital assistant 36. - The adaptability of surveillance and
control system 20 further enables use of an “overview” screen that provides an operator with afield map 146 of multiple wells, as illustrated inFIG. 11 .Control system 28 can be programmed to output a variety of information related to each of the wells. For example,CPU 46 may be programmed to provide a color-coded guide as to which wells are performing well, performing poorly, or require future intervention. In one application, wells are identified bydots 148 that are illuminated onfield map 146 in green for “no issue,” red for “well down,” and yellow for potential problems requiring further analysis. When a potential problem or operational concern (yellow alarm) arises, the system identifies the symptom, the probable cause or causes, and suggests a corrective action or actions. The operator can then enter appropriate commands viacontrol system 28 which are sent overnetwork 38 tospecific pumping systems 24 to adjustcontrollable devices 82 for optimization of pumping system operation. - As discussed previously, the ability to conduct real-time surveillance and control from remote locations combined with the programmability of
control system 28 provides great potential for adapting and customizing the overall surveillance andcontrol system 20. In some applications, for example, it may be desirable to closely track the performance of individual electricsubmersible pumping systems 78. Data obtained fromsensor devices 80 can be automatically processed byCPU 46 to determine pump performance and graphically display such performance viagraphical user interface 96. As illustrated inFIG. 12 , the correspondence of head to flow can be presented graphically for specific types of pumping systems, and the actual head and a flow rate for specific pumping systems can be plotted with appropriate graph points 150 on a displayedgraph 152. With this type of data,CPU 46 can automatically develop a pumpperformance index graph 154 for specific pumping systems, as illustrated inFIG. 13 . In this example,graph 154 presents a pump performance index plotted against date and time as well as a confidence index plotted against date and time. - A wide variety of other automatic analyses can be performed by one or more CPU's 46 deployed at one or more remote locations. In
FIG. 14 , for example, data collected fromsensor devices 80 andwellsite 22 enable an operator to view the fluid level in a specific well for evaluation of system performance. In this example, thegraphical user interface 96 is used to display aschematic illustration 155 of a specific electricsubmersible pumping system 78 with an indication of total liquid above thepump 156, gas free liquid above thepump 158,pump intake depth 160, and depth ofcasing perforations 162. Adjacentschematic illustration 155, agraph 164 is automatically constructed bycontrol system 28 to graphically illustrate the amount of gas free fluid above the pump at specific dates. This information can be used to trigger an automatic control response or to advise an operator of, for example, the potential to increase production. - Other data observed in real-time at
wellsite 22 and transmitted to one or more remote locations vianetwork 38 can be used to construct, for example, pressure gradients, as illustrated by thegraph 166 ofFIG. 15 .Graph 166 plots depths against pressures measured in the well. The depths are at specific components or locations, as indicated by labeledmarkings 168. The display ofgraph 166 viagraphical user interface 96 enables an operator to, for example, validate well test results and assess pump performance. It should be noted that the functionality and the screens discussed above are only a few examples of the functionality and display potential of the surveillance andcontrol system 20. Depending on the specific well environments and well applications, surveillance can be established for other parameters and/or control can be exercised over a variety of controllable components, either automatically viacontrol system 28, or based on input to controlsystem 28. - Referring to
FIG. 16 ,graphical user interface 96 also can be used to facilitate inputting a variety of control functions. In this screen example, a variety of parameters are displayed in a variable table 170. Additionally, aselection bar 172 is displayed that enables an operator to select between different types of control functions, including varying apolling interval 174; remote start/stop of specific electricsubmersible pumping systems 176; changing the speed ofvariable speed drive 178; and changing parameter setpoints 180. Additionalscreening input buttons 182 can also be provided to facilitate aspects of remotely controllingpumping systems 24 at the one ormore wellsites 22. For example,input buttons 182 may comprise start and stop buttons for the remote starting and stopping of specific electricsubmersible pumping systems 78. The control instructions are input viagraphical user interface 96, and those instructions are output bycontrol system 28 as control signals overnetwork 38. The control signals are directed tosite communications box 84 which further directs the control signal to the appropriatecontrollable device 82 for actuation. The ability to control surveillance andcontrol system 20 remotely greatly facilitates the taking of immediate action should the system experience a problem, such as a power failure. - Surveillance and
control system 20 greatly enhances the adaptability, functionality and cost effectiveness of well management. The system enables the generation of a wide variety of reports, reduces wellsite visits, decreases costs associated with installation, maintenance, and administration of the control system, improves pump operation, facilitates prioritization of well work, reduces well interventions, extends pump run life, and increases pump and well uptime. All of these characteristics of surveillance andcontrol system 20 enable the cost efficient optimization of production at one ormore wellsites 22. - Although, only a few embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, those of ordinary skill in the art will readily appreciate that many modifications are possible without materially departing from the teachings of this invention. Accordingly, such modifications are intended to be included within the scope of this invention as defined in the claims.
