Artificial Lift SCADA

This refers to the use of artificial means to increase the flow of liquids (typically crude oil) which is achieved by the use of a mechanical device inside the well (a pump), or by decreasing the weight of the hydrostatic column by injecting gas into the liquid some distance down the well. Artificial lift is needed in wells when there is insufficient pressure in the reservoir to lift the produced fluids to the surface, but often used in naturally flowing wells (which do not technically need it) to increase the flow rate above what would flow naturally.

• Monitoring and control of artificial lift:
  • Electrical Submersible Pump (ESP)
  • Progressive Cavity Pump (PCP)
  • Gas Lift
• Vibration monitoring and alarming
• Intelligent well optimization
• SMART well automatic control of Variable Speed Drives (VSD)
