Abstract
AbstractSmart well technology is widely implemented in oil production at present. There are about 2 million oil wells around the world, and artificial lift is used for almost 1 million of them. Sucker rod pumps are used in over 750,000 artificial lift wells. A modern well is equipped with a variety of process parameter sensors. These are sensors for pressure, temperature, flow, level, current, voltage, and power. The well controller receives information from sensors. The controller performs preliminary information processing and regulates the operating mode of the electric motor. The article discusses sensors installed on various types of borehole pumping units: electric submersible pumping units, sucker rod pumping units, and progressive cavitation pumping units. The structures of a smart well and a smart field are given. Examples of measurements of electrical parameters at wells are given. To control the operation of the pump, electric drive, current, voltage, active power, reactive capacity, and power factor are measured.KeywordsSmart wellSmart fieldOil wellSucker rod pump unitElectric submersible pump unitElectric driveWell controller
