The espWatcher surveillance and control service for ESPs features remote data acquisition; data transmission, alarms, and alerts via satellite; remote pump startup and speed control; and remote resolution of certain pump problems.


Benefits
  • Increased pump uptime
  • Extended pump run life
  • Reduced well interventions
  • Prioritized well work
  • Improved pump operation
  • Optimized production
  • Reduced wellsite visits
  • Real-time sandface and production surveillance
  • Cost-effective installation, maintenance and system administration


Lower operating costs with ESP monitoring
espWatcher monitoring system for electric submersible pumps prevents premature failures and extends run life. This reduces workovers and personnel costs while eliminating equipment replacement costs. There's a lower level of wellsite activity. This is a step-change in production and lift system performance with lower operating costs.

Minimize well downtime
Alarms and call outs are sent via pager, telephone or email. Threshold alarms and trends, plus daily raw data summaries and histories, give you valuable information that improves pump run life. On-demand data polling can be used to investigate anomalies and problem wells.

Pump starts can be accomplished or witnessed remotely, ensuring the right personnel are available during critical operations. Well work can be prioritized on economic value.

Improve well productivity
The system offers real-time performance diagnosis of producing wells. These diagnostic checks let you continually improve ESP performance as reservoir, production and wellbore configurations change.

espWatcher monitors changes in sandface properties and formation integrity. This is critical to maximizing production.

Minimize risk and enhance performance
This technology is built on the strength of
  • RedaPump ESP systems
  • Phoenix MultiSensor artificial lift monitoring
  • InterACT real-time monitoring and data delivery technologies
Supported by our Data and Consulting Services (DCS), espWatcher focuses on production enhancement as an end-to-end data acquisition and management system.

Scalability is suitable for
  • mature fields with a large number of producing wells
  • remote environments where physical access is restricted or difficult
  • fields where SCADA is limited or unavailable.
The input/outputs (I/Os) from all wellsite pumps and sensors interface with the espWatcher site communication box. Real-time data are transmitted via satellite to our database. Call outs and alarms are sent directly to you.
