摘要： A method comprises operating an electric submersible pump (ESP) motor downhole in a well. The ESP motor is electrically connected to a variable speed drive (VSD) proximate to the well. The operating comprises measuring a revolution rate and a motor current of the ESP motor for a first period of time and performing a first adjustment of a voltage output of the VSD. The method comprises measuring, after the first adjustment, the revolution rate and the motor current of the ESP motor for a second period of time determining a difference between the motor current measured for the first period of time and the motor current measured for the second period of time; and performing a second adjustment of the voltage output of the VSD based on a change in the revolution rate and the motor current between the first period of time and the second period of time.

摘要： Permanent magnet motors (PMMs) can develop oscillations during motor startup that can cause damage to electric submersible pump (ESP) components. A system and method are presented for identifying mechanical and/or electrical caused oscillations in a PMM through the analysis of oscillations in current and torque measurements. A control system within a surface motor controller receives current and/or torque measurements from downhole sensors. The control system employs one or more algorithms designed to detect oscillations in the measurements. Upon detecting oscillations that are consistent with oscillations in the motor from mechanical or electrical causes, the control system automatically initiates protective action to prevent damage to the ESP components.

摘要： A dynamic power optimization system and method for electric submersible motors. A system to optimize operation of an electric submersible motor electrically coupled to a variable speed drive controlled by a computer performing dynamically in a loop the steps of obtaining measurement of a pump performance variable and motor current to establish a first data set, making a motor voltage adjustment of a first type including either an increase or a decrease, establishing a second data set after the adjustment, differencing the first data set with the second data set, and making a second adjustment to the motor voltage of the first adjustment type if the current drops and the pump performance variable is maintained within thresholds, or opposite the first adjustment type if the current rises and the pump performance variable is maintained, or if the current drops and the pump performance variable deviates outside the thresholds.

摘要： Selectively automating the powering of downhole equipment during run-in-hole (RIH) operations provides a means of safely installing and monitoring downhole equipment. Selective automation comprises monitoring lowering of a pump assembly into a borehole as part of an installation process. In response to determining that the lowering of the pump assembly into the borehole has stopped, an output of power from a power source to a cable coupled to the pump assembly is allowed. A data transmission is communicated from a downhole gauge in the pump assembly to a communication device at a surface of the borehole via the cable. In response to not receiving a valid data transmission at the communication device, it is determined that the cable may be damaged, and that further cable testing should occur.

摘要： A system comprises an electric submersible pump (ESP) motor electrically coupled to a variable speed drive (VSD) that outputs voltage to the ESP motor. The system comprises a magnet on a shaft of the ESP motor and a downhole sensor coupled to the magnet, wherein the downhole sensor is to measure a magnetic flux of the magnet. The system comprises a VSD controller to control the VSD, wherein the VSD controller comprises a processor and a non-transitory memory storage having instructions stored thereon that are executable by the processor to perform operations comprising: obtaining a measurement of at least one pump performance variable and a motor current for a first period of time to establish a first data set and making a first adjustment to a voltage output from the VSD to the ESP motor, the first adjustment having a first adjustment type.

摘要： One or more sensors are mounted on a collar proximate to a motor shaft of a motor. The motor is associated with an electric submersible pump (ESP) located in a wellbore of a geological formation. The one or more sensors sense one or more identifiers located on the motor shaft of the motor. One or more of a rotation direction and rotation speed of the motor shaft is determined based on the sensing of the one or more identifiers. The motor is powered to pump fluid from a reservoir in the geological formation to a surface of the geological formation based on the one or more of the rotation direction and rotation speed of the motor shaft.
