Power Analyzer 2.0 Case Study on ESP Monitoring

This case study details the implementation and outcomes of the Power Analyzer 2.0 (PA 2.0) in monitoring Electric Submersible Pumps (ESPs) on a remote offshore platform. The primary objective was to monitor electrical and mechanical parameters through advanced signal processing of voltage and current measurements. The PA 2.0 provided real-time insights that allowed for early detection of issues, such as grounding of one phase, which would have otherwise gone unnoticed. The study outlines how PA 2.0 facilitated a surface voltage correction that reduced stress on the remaining phases, leading to a 17% extension in ESP run life. Additionally, it highlights the elimination of high-voltage measurement risks, showcasing the importance of the Shaft Stability Indicator (SSI) in monitoring the mechanical integrity of the system. The findings emphasize the effectiveness of PA 2.0 in enhancing ESP operations and decision-making processes throughout the pump's lifecycle.
