SpecialReport: Artificial Lift Technology

Using a standard Bluetooth
connection, the integrated
wireless load cell/accelerometer, manufactured by Bright
Automation, provides monitoring of rod pumps for load
and position in the pumping
cycle. According to the company, this wireless feature reduces the number of cables
required at a production site,
and also cuts downtime associated with cable failures.

multiple devices on the single location,
without risk of interference. There is no
limit on the number of devices. It works
on any rod pump, and provides both a
milliamp and a millivolt signal, whichever
is required, to any company's drive or
controller."
According to the company, data are
transmitted via a 2.4 GHz digital channel
for real-time system updates, with a standard output range of 4-20 milliamps or
1.3-7.0 volts.
"The company's ultimate goal is to
make the well site wireless, with all
devices that are connected to the wellhead
being wireless," he states. "Rig crews
then won't have to worry about anything
on the device, except keeping the solar
panels clean."

Cloud-Hosted Monitoring
The LOOKOUT® monitoring and optimization system from Dover Artificial
Lift provides well site information for
real-time monitoring, decision making,
collaboration and well performance optimization in a cloud-hosted system, says
Brian Haapanen, the company's control
systems director.
"LOOKOUT is tailored to a customer's specific needs and economics,
from simple on/off notifications to active
monitoring scenarios targeting key performance indicators," Haapanen reports.
"This monitoring and optimization system
enables operators to stay connected to
their wells. Fostering collaboration and
streamlined workflows, this system allows
for easy access across a variety of platforms, from mobile to desktop."
Haapanen points out the system does
not only display data, but also presents

the information needed to allow for production gains and increased run times.
The LOOKOUT technology leverages
the power of Theta's SXPOCTM artificial
lift monitoring system, and can be used
on a range of artificial lift systems, including ESPs, rod lift and gas lift, he
says.
"Operators now can 'pump by exception," where wells that are operating
properly can be passed over in lieu of
wells that are not operating properly,"
Haapanen notes. "LOOKOUT moves beyond alarming and set points, which force
users into reactive monitoring roles. By
looking at a well model that compares
the ideal performance of both well and
equipment with the actual performance,

LOOKOUT can identify wells that could
operate more efficiently."
A key feature of LOOKOUT is its
automatic diagnostics capability, Haapanen
says. By comparing the actual flow from
well tests against theoretical flows, diagnostics such as pump wear and potential
tubing leaks can be determined, he describes. The system's sizing score provides
an accurate look at well conditions and
equipment application, which Haapanen
says warns if a resize should occur at the
next workover.
According to Haapanen, future LOOKOUT enhancements include automatically
generated daily and monthly reports.

Rod Rotators
Wellhead Systems Inc. is responding
to customer demands for improved rod
rotators and production blowout preventers, says Troy W. Habben, the company's
executive director of business development.
Working in conjunction with rod
guides, rod rotators ensure even wear
patterns for rod strings, especially in deviated boreholes, he describes. Operators
also use the applications to help remove
paraffin from well tubing. "For many
years, the original rod rotator design had
a characteristic that was a failure point,"
Habben notes. "Our solution is a oneway bearing design, which is more conducive in characteristic of the rotational
torque with horizontal and deviated wells."
He adds that in addition to changing

Dover Artificial Lift's LOOKOUT® monitoring and optimization system displays more than
well data across a variety of platforms, from mobile to desktop, the company says. It also
presents the information needed to increase run times and production.
