System and method for prioritizing artificial lift system failure alerts

摘要

A system, method, and computer program product are disclosed for analysis of artificial lift systems. An Artificial Lift Analysis Solution (ALAS) is also provided to view and analyze artificial lift well data trends, prediction and detection event alerts, and to diagnose system conditions to facilitate production optimization. Production well information is provided for a plurality of the production wells each being associated with an artificial lift system. Artificial lift system failure alerts for the plurality of production wells are received and processed on a computer. A relevance measure for each of the artificial lift system failure alerts is determined responsive to the production well information. A summary of the artificial lift system failure alerts is displayed in an ordering based on the relevance measure.

1. A method for artificial lift system analysis, the method comprising:
(a) providing production well information measured at a surface for a plurality of production wells, wherein each of the production wells is associated with an artificial lift system; (b) receiving and processing, on a computer, artificial lift system failure alerts for the plurality of production wells, wherein the artificial lift system failure alerts comprise predicted failure alerts and detected failure alerts, and wherein the predicted failure alerts are generated using a support vector machine method and the detected failure alerts are generated using a Bayesian Network method; (c) determining a relevance measure for each of the artificial lift system failure alerts responsive to the production well information; and (d) displaying a summary of the artificial lift system failure alerts in an ordering based on the relevance measure, wherein the relevance measure comprises an urgency of the artificial lift system failure alerts such that the detected failure alerts are ordered before the predicted failure alerts in the summary of the artificial lift system failure alerts.
