Digital Oil Field
This research focuses on combining physics-based expert rules with machine learning to improve the detection of failure-related events in electrical submersible pumps.
A combination of physics principles and machine-learning techniques is used in this work to develop a virtual flowmeter for oil-production optimization in electrical-submersible-pump-lifted oil wells, resulting in reliable generalization.
This paper presents the deployment of an artificial intelligence-enabled autonomous gas lift optimization system, integrating real-time centralized advanced process control with cloud-based analytics to enhance artificial gas lift performance in producer wells.
