Remote Diagnostics and Monitoring of Sucker Rod Pump System (RDMSRP System)

This paper introduces design and algorithm to monitor and diagnose the health status of Sucker Rod Pump(SRP) station and send notification to user with real time failure status via GSM. Most of the SRPs are stationed at remote locations where continuous manual monitoring is not at all possible and if SRP station goes down due to any of the failure reasons, it results in production loss. To overcome this issue, we have developed a monitoring and diagnostics device. This monitoring device consists of multiple sensors placed at various points on the sucker rod pump station, which acts as an input to the monitoring device. Monitoring device process all the input signals with the support of diagnostics algorithm running into device to detect multiple failure conditions occurred due to ageing, irregular maintenance, power fail condition, manhandling etc. and sends notification message of sucker rod pump station’s health status to the registered numbers\users.
