Dynamometer card generation for pumping units based on CNN and electrical parameters.

In the actual production process of oil fields, the real-time and accurate acquisition of dynamic recorder data from the pumping unit is of great significance for the diagnosis of well failures. The traditional method of obtaining the card of the dynamometer usually includes installing a load sensor on the auxiliary head of the pumping unit. However, due to the harsh environment of the oil field production site, these load sensors often suffer from damage, distortion, and aging, resulting in large measurement errors and low reliability. This paper proposes a mixed model of pumping based on motor electrical parameter data and CNN convolutional neural network, which has good consistency with actual data in terms of predictive performance. Thus, the highlights of this paper can be summed up in two points: (1) Based on the mathematical model of the AC motor, the speed of the motor and the torque output of the motor are accurately estimated. (2) The convolutional neural network is introduced to compensate for the errors caused by the defects of the pumping unit mechanism model.
