全球油田技术和服务领导者ChampionX推出了用于非常规井的SMARTEN XE ESP控制系统

该技术旨在应对非常规井中电潜泵 (ESP) 系统所遇到的具有挑战性的井下条件，包括快速变化的生产率、增加的气体侵入和电能质量挑战。

SMARTEN XE 控制系统具有硬化的工业处理核心，可通过 ESP 特定的控制算法可靠地管理井下条件，以减少不必要的停机并保护 ESP 系统。SMARTEN XE 控制系统的优点包括通过专有的无传感器 REFLUX 气体控制算法主动管理气锁条件。具有自动调节功能的自适应巡航控制可管理操作不稳定性并调整 ESP 速度以满足操作员的操作目标，而自动缩放设定点功能可自动调整 ESP 以适应非常规油井中常见的不断变化的生产率。专有的功率计可确保保护井下电机和电缆所需的电能质量。SMARTEN XE 控制系统还提供创建定制控制应用程序的功能。 

安全特性

该控制系统还增强了 ESP 操作的安全性、稳定性和安全性。它通过 Microsoft Azure 安全保护井场，并通过 SMARTEN Edge 设备增强数据通信和完整性。该系统还利用 VSD Touch Safe 技术将高压设备与控制装置分开，以保护现场人员免受电气危险。用户还可以使用与现场相同的界面远程进行所需的更改，以最大程度地减少与井场访问相关的安全隐患。

 ChampionX Unbridled ESP Systems 副总裁兼董事总经理 Ryan Rasmussen 表示：“传统的变速驱动控制 (VSD) 系统并非针对非常规油井中常见的动态井下条件而设计。” “根据我们在这些具有挑战性的条件下操作 ESP 的经验，我们着手设计一种控制系统，帮助在条件变化时管理和保护井下 ESP 系统。SMARTEN 让我们的客户能够完全控制他们的 ESP 运营，以优化他们的生产、效率和可靠性，同时降低运营成本和风险。”

Technology

ChampionX, a global leader in oilfield technology and services, has introduced the SMARTEN XE ESP control system for unconventional wells

The technology is designed to handle the challenging downhole conditions experienced by electrical submersible pumping (ESP) systems in unconventional wells, including rapidly changing production rates, increasing gas incursion and power quality challenges.

The SMARTEN XE control system features a hardened industrial processing core that reliably manages downhole conditions with ESP-specific control algorithms to reduce nuisance shut downs and protect the ESP system. Benefits of the SMARTEN XE control system include proactively managing gas locking conditions with the proprietary sensorless REFLUX gas control algorithm. Adaptive cruise control with auto-tuning manages operational instability and adjusts the ESP speed to meet an operator’s operational goals, while the auto-scaling set point feature automatically adjusts the ESP to the constantly changing production rates common in unconventional wells. A proprietary power meter assures the power quality required to protect the downhole motor and cable. The SMARTEN XE control system also offers the capability to create bespoke control applications. 

Safety features

The control system also has enhanced security, stability, and safety features for ESP operations. It shields the wellsite with Microsoft Azure security and enhances data communication and integrity with the SMARTEN Edge device. The system also leverages VSD Touch Safe technology to separate high-voltage equipment from the controls to protect field personnel from electrical hazards. Users can also make required changes remotely with the same interface seen in the field to minimise the safety hazards related to wellsite visits.

 “Traditional variable speed drive control (VSD) systems were not designed for the dynamic downhole conditions common in unconventional wells,” said Ryan Rasmussen, vice president and managing director of ChampionX’s UNBRIDLED ESP Systems. “Based on our experience operating ESPs under these challenging conditions, we set out to design a control system that helps manage and protect the downhole ESP system as conditions change. The SMARTEN gives our customers full control of their ESP operations to optimise their production, efficiency and reliability, while reducing operational costs and risks.”
