To avoid production downtime and associated costs, CSG well operators can use SentientSystem for advanced predictive analytics to accurately predict pump failures.
Synengco has trialled SentientSystem on a set of wells to demonstrate valuable insights progressive cavity pumps (PCP) behaviour. The software allowed prediction of failures days, and sometimes weeks, in advance.
Objectives
✓ Drive down costs and production losses caused by downhole pump failures
✓ Prove feasibility of using predictive data analytics to maximise its Coal Seam Gas production efficiency
Key Outcomes
✓ Predictive events were observable before 70% of failures
✓ Most common reason for unpredictability is missing data
✓ Average predictive lead time of 10 days
