SYSTEM AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING DEVELOPMENT OF DEPOSIT USING ELECTRIC SUBMERSIBLE PUMPS AS VIRTUAL SENSORS

摘要

A virtual sensor system includes one or more electric submersible pumping systems deployed in a reservoir and a computer system that receives data from the one or more electric submersible pumping systems. Field data is provided to computerized statistical models for predicting whether individual electric submersible pumping systems and the reservoir have undergone changes in condition. The statistical models are established with reference data obtained by running electric submersible pumping systems of known working condition in test wells under a variety of controlled conditions.
