More from the Artificial Lift R&D Council workshop...

摘要

In last month's Journal we reported from the 2010 Artificial Lift R&D Council meet, notably with a presentation from Weatherford on its WellSawy 'digital engineer' application. This was followed by a presentation from Neil De Guzman on IntelligentAgent Corp.'s (IAC) 'TellWell' tool. Like WellSawy, TellWell leverages periodic data from well tests along with pressure, injection rates and models to monitor gas lift wells, diagnose problems, recommend corrective actions and explain the results. A software 'agent' mimics an expert's train of thought using pattern recognition and case-based reasoning. The system provides 'visibility' into the data and into the reasoning behind its recommendations.
