Sistema supervisório para poços de petróleo baseados no método de elevação artificial Plunger Lift

摘要

The several existing methods for oil artificial lifting and the variety of automationequipment for these methods many times lead the supervisory systems to be dedicatedto a unique method and/or to a unique manufacturer. To avoid this problem, it has beendeveloped the supervisory system named SISAL, conceived to supervise wells with differentlifting methods and different automation equipments. The SISAL system is workingin several Brazilian states but, nowadays, it is only supervising rod pump-based wells.The objective of this work is the development of a supervision module to the plunger liftartificial lift method. The module will have the same characteristics of working with automationhardware of many manufacturers. The module will be integrated to the SISALsystem, incorporating the capacity to supervise the plunger lift artificial lift method.
