System for monitoring linearity of down-hole pumping systems during deployment and related methods

摘要

Systems, program product, and methods for monitoring linearity of a down-hole pumping system assembly during deployment within a bore of a casing of a well positioned to extract hydrocarbons from a subterranean reservoir and selecting an optimal operational position for the down-hole pumping system assembly within the bore of the casing, are provided. Various embodiments of the systems allow an operator to ensure that a motor and pump of a down-hole pumping system assembly are installed in an optimal position in a well by ensuring alignment across the pump stages casing and motor casing. The system includes a groove extending along an outer surface of a housing of the pumping system assembly, and an optical sensing fiber mounted in the groove.

1. A method of monitoring linearity of a down-hole pumping system assembly deployed within a bore of a casing of a well, the method comprising the steps of:
deploying the down-hole pumping system assembly down the well; monitoring linearity of the down-hole pumping system assembly to thereby optimize a lifespan of the down-hole pumping system assembly; and adjusting the operational position of the down-hole pumping system assembly in response to linearity determinations exceeding a threshold value.
