2019 Artificial Lift Strategies for Unconventional Wells Workshop Cox Convention Center, February 11-14, 2019 Remote Acquisition Well Monitoring O. Lynn Rowlan Carrie Anne Taylor Dieter Becker Ken Skinner
New Hardware/Software Platform Allows Remote Asset Monitoring In the past an operator was required to be at the wellsite to perform tests with the Wireless Well Analyzer System and his Laptop. Now can schedule unattended fluid level, dynamometer, pressure, and power acquisitions test. Using internet or cell phone access any well anywhere in the world can be monitored in detail with high speed and high resolution wireless sensor data. Schedule time, frequency and sampling speed to monitor a well for an extended time Schedule can be changed and data can be remotely retrieved without requiring the operator to make a trip to the wellsite to retrieve and view the acquired well data. 2

New Hardware/Software Platform Well anywhere in the world can be optimized/monitored by Operator 5
Any Well Anywhere in the World can be Analyzed & Monitored Remotely Communication thru Internet Local internet access at the well or Cellular MODEM to Cloud Laptop with Internet Connection Same data acquisition available to user at the remote laptop and the well can be monitored in detail with high speed and high resolution wireless sensor data. 6

50K Load Cell Remote Asset Monitor Test on Well on 11/22/2018 A. Wireless Fluid Level a. Acoustic b. 5 second Casing Pressure Buildup dp/dt Steps B. 60 HZ Wireless Pressure Transducer connected to the Casing Annulus C. 60 HZ Dynamometer Acquisition and Motor Power Acquisition Remote Asset Monitor Pressure Transducer Gas Gun 12
When Shooting a Fluid Level Should 1 st Close Then Open the Casing Valve 13
Wireless Pressure Transducer connected to the Casing Annulus, Acquiring Casing Pressure Simultaneously with Dynamometer Load and Position, plus Motor Power, Amps and Volts at 60 HZ. Normally Wireless Pressure Transducer would be connected to the tubing/not casing. Electronic Actuated Motor Valve controlled by RAM Wireless Pressure Transducer 14
Fluid Level Shot acquired at 11/22/2018 02:27:32 down casing. Fluid Level Close to Pump Intake 15
Since Motor Valve is Closed then the Casing Pressure Builds Up After LL Shot 16
Simultaneous Dynamometer Card Acquisition Referenced to Clock Time Stroke #13 @ 02:27:32 PM with the yellow dot on the wireless pressure sensors positioned on the pressure spike created by firing the wireless gas gun @ 02:27:32 PM. 17
Compare Pressure Acquisitions Why do 5 second casing pressure measurements jump around? 18
Scheduled Tests Downloaded to Computer 19
Examine Fluid Level and Dyno 20
Why is One Stroke Different from the Rest 21
Summary New platform automatically acquires data without requiring an operator to be present at the wellsite and allows the data to be remotely collected. Operator can create/modify remotely the acquisition schedule to acquire data periodically for an extended period of time or acquire a test on demand. At the well or through the cloud from any location in the world the operator can troubleshoot and analyze the performance of his well. 22
