The Most Technically Advanced ESP Products in the World

Summit ESP’s holistic approach to well surveillance, backed with 24/7 monitoring services, increases production, improves run life and reduces downtime and labor.

Operational BenefitsReal-time well surveillance increases the return on invest-

ment of an ESP system and the multi-million-dollar investment in the well’s production potential. Without the use of a moni-toring system, optimizing an ESP can require extensive labor and onsite field service. Operators are forced to send field personnel to the well site to collect performance data and

restart wells after nuisance shutdowns due to set points that quickly become irrelevant as well conditions change.

Summit ESP’s well surveillance program eliminates the need for manual interventions. Set points can be adjusted without the need to send field personnel out to location. Operators are able to specify acceptable operating ranges via a remote computer or mobile device. If an operating parameter drifts outside of the specified

24/7/365 Expert Analysis and Coverage

Summit ESP’s degreed petroleum engineers team up to continuously monitor wells on a 24-hours-per-day, 365-days-per-year basis from our state-of-the-art monitoring center. For every newly installed system, engineers config-ure personalized alerts that automatically notify field per-sonnel and engineers of any problems. Each time a well is surveilled, engineers reassess alerts, minimizing nuisance alarms and optimizing performance.

Using Summit’s proprietary web-based applications en-gineering software, applications engineers mathematically model the operating conditions of downhole equipment and inflow characteristics unique to each well, allowing them to fine-tune operating conditions, maximizing produc-tion, reducing operating costs and extending run life.

Many operators hold regular weekly meetings with Sum-mit’s applications engineers and regional personnel where they are presented with an overview of their wells’ perfor-mance. These meetings allow operators to work together with diverse ESP experts to get the most out of their op-erations. Summit’s applications engineers can also assist in monitoring clients’ wells on their in-house SCADA well management systems.

range, the operators are automatically alerted through text messages, phone calls or emails. This alert system allows for rapid intervention without the added expense and delays associated with dispatching field personnel to remote well locations where cell phones may not function. Summit’s full-service intensive monitoring platform arms analysts with all set points and logs, enabling them to act quickly and accurately in real time.

Flexible SystemsSummit’s well surveillance platform supports multiple

SCADA systems that store key operating parameters in a centralized database for remote monitoring, analysis and control. This, coupled with Summit’s proprietary web-based field service ticketing, dispatch and applications engineering system, gives our monitoring group a com-plete 360° view of each well’s equipment and operations. The SCADA systems track and plot key parameters in real time, including motor current, VSD frequency, winding temperature, and pump intake pressure into an interface that has been optimized for readability. Operators and Summit’s applications engineers group closely monitor trends and make any necessary adjustments remotely or notify field personnel.

RAISING EXPECTATIONS Monitoring is a key part of increasing

production and extending run life. Maximizing run life requires flawless execution during every part of the ESP run cycle.

Effective applications are designed by incorporating lessons learned from operations, real-time monitoring, field optimizations and the results of root-cause analysis from previous runs.

Case Study: Gas Locking In one scenario (see figure below), the unit experienced re-peated shutdowns due to high motor temperature. (A) The drop in current indicates the shutdowns are due to gas in-terference. The increased gas volume limits necessary liq-uid flow from effectively cooling the motor. In this case, the monitoring team notified the salesperson/field personnel of this event and the proper steps were taken to remedy the problem. (B) Summit’s gas lock mode was implemented to automatically adjust the frequency of the VSD to account for the changes in motor current and intake pressure. This mode significantly reduces the number of shutdowns and increases the overall efficiency of the pump.

Case Study: Intake Blockage/PluggingIn another case, the intake of the pump became blocked or plugged with debris from the well. (A) As the pump intake started to plug, the intake pressure and equipment vibra-tion steadily increased along with motor temperature. The increased vibrations indicate that solids were entering the system. At this point, the surveillance engineer notified the

operator and recommended flushing the well. (B) After the unit was flushed, PID (proportional integral derivative) mode was applied to optimize the running conditions of the pump. This mode allows the operator to maintain a selected param-eter at a constant value by varying the drive frequency. In this case, the frequency is adjusting to maintain a steady mo-tor current, which ensures consistent production over time.

Case Study: Gas Interference This scenario has the intake pressure nearing the bubble point pressure of the fluid (A). Gas starts to come out of solution, and the motor current and temperature behave more erratically. In order to optimize the running conditions of this well, the surveillance team alerted the field person-nel and recommended adding back-pressure to the system. Once the choke was adjusted (B), additional tubing pres-sure increased the pump intake pressure and forced the gas back into solution, stabilizing the motor current and temperature. This allowed the pump to operate under more optimal conditions, which will in turn extend the life of the pump.

Case Study: Remote ShutdownSometimes, a well needs to be shut down remotely in order to prevent costly damage to the equipment. In case (A), solids and debris started to enter the pump, causing a spike in motor current and intake pressure. The equipment vibra-tions also increased as the debris was ingested. Once the monitoring team saw the spikes in the trends (B), they were able to shut down the well remotely via computer before the debris could do any further damage to the equipment, allowing the operator to reuse their equipment.

Case Study: Broken ShaftHere, the pump was running under normal conditions with no problems and then shut down (A). Several attempts to restart the pump were made; however, each time, the mo-tor current failed to reach its normal operating value and the PIP was not drawn down (B). Low current draw and decreased drawdown are signs of a broken shaft. At this point, the monitoring group notified the salesperson/field

personnel of the issue so the pump could be pulled, as-sessed and replaced. The quick response of the monitor-ing team prevented further damage to the equipment, saving costly repairs and allowing the operator to reuse much of the equipment.

Case Study: Deadheading (A) The discharge valve was mistakenly left closed. This resulted in a spike in the intake pressure and motor tem-perature and a lack of drawdown. In the deadheading condition, the temperature of the motor rose because the unit was no longer cooled by the flow of production fluid. The surveillance team notified field personnel. (B) Once the discharge valve was opened, production returned to normal, averting a downhole failure and deferred pro-duction.
