Why Automate Artificial Lift Systems? • An operator interface provides access to system parameters that are organised into logical groups for easy navigation. • A fault log is used to capture time-stamped diagnostic information to aid in troubleshooting drive or pump problems. • Customizable monitors and optimizers help safeguard against damage to vital parts of the pumping system while also maximizing production. • The controllers incorporate unique design features that reduce electric utility costs and improve power quality. • Rapid restart minimizes lost well production due to momentary power...

Applications At any instant during the life of a well, and even within a pump cycle, there is a single constraint that limits production. Production can be maximized without compromising efficiency or reliability by forcing the system to operate at the particular constraint limiting production at each instant of time. Determining the applicable limits and moving smoothly between them in real time is a key advantage of the NOV Monoflo system. Models of all the system elements are run in real time at the wellhead to detect appropriate limits and enforce associated control strategies. At different...

Manufacturing and Design NOV Monoflo’s VFD controllers are engineered and manufactured specifically for oilfield pumping applications and to meet the challenges of varying conditions at the well. The controllers continuously monitor and rapidly adapt to changing downhole conditions, and each can be configured to operate various artificial lift technologies. Digital technology is used to deliver precise control of motor voltage, current, speed and torque. Advanced control features and automated setup increases productivity and extend the life of artificial lifting systems. Features & Benefits...

Communication Media NOV Monoflo realizes the importance of communication and the ability to access information from pumping systems remotely as well as to transfer this information to others worldwide. NOV Monoflo’s controllers utilize various communications software. The following outlines the software and communictions capabilities of the VFS’s: Uedit™ and Drivelink™ Software Computer programmes that communicate with the controller and allow for a no-limit information session. Uedit monitors such values as pump fill, motor torque, motor amperage, pump jack, API and others. Drivelink gives operators...
