Graphical user interfaces for abating emissions of gaseous byproducts at hydrocarbon assets are described herein. In one example, a system can receive measurements of gaseous byproduct emissions from sites. The system can execute a classification module to distribute the measurements among various types of equipment. The system can then determine emissions estimates associated with the various types of equipment based on the measurements assigned to each type of equipment. Thereafter, the system can receive a user input that includes a list of types of equipment at a target site. The system can generate a total emissions estimate for each type of equipment in the list based on the emissions estimates. The system can then generate a graphical user interface providing the total emissions estimate for each type of equipment in the list to a user, which may help the user abate such emissions.

A system for automated testing of a high-pressure pump comprises a choke valve, actuator and actuator drive for operating the choke in response to receiving control signals. A system control unit includes a processor unit, system memory, I/O interface, human-machine interface, and display device. A pressure sensor is connected to the pump outlet line for sensing and reporting outlet pressure to the control unit. The control unit can execute a test phase by causing the pump to run at a test speed and causing the actuator to change the restriction value of the choke until a predetermined pressure is sensed in the outlet line and reported to the control unit. The control unit can cause the actuator to maintain the predetermined pressure for a predetermined period of time. The control unit can cause the display device to show a result or print a report of one or more test phases.

An assembly and a method for lubricating an electric submersible pump assembly disposed in a wellbore are described. The assembly includes a pump to pressurize a wellbore fluid and an electric motor to rotate the pump. The electric motor is lubricated by a dielectric oil. A sensor is coupled to the electric motor to sense a condition of the electric motor and transmit a signal including a value representing the condition. A controller is coupled to the electric motor and the sensor. The controller receives the signal from the sensor, compares the value to a threshold value, determines when the value is greater than the threshold value, and responsive to determining that the value is greater than a threshold value indicating a presence of contaminated dielectric oil, flows a clean dielectric oil from an accumulator to the electric motor to expel the contaminated dielectric oil out of the electric motor.

Permanent magnet motors (PMMs) can develop oscillations during motor startup that can cause damage to electric submersible pump (ESP) components. A system and method are presented for identifying mechanical and/or electrical caused oscillations in a PMM through the analysis of oscillations in current and torque measurements. A control system within a surface motor controller receives current and/or torque measurements from downhole sensors. The control system employs one or more algorithms designed to detect oscillations in the measurements. Upon detecting oscillations that are consistent with oscillations in the motor from mechanical or electrical causes, the control system automatically initiates protective action to prevent damage to the ESP components.

A computer implemented method of predicting a future maintenance event of a pumping equipment on a wellbore pumping unit comprising loading a pump usage log and a pump maintenance log into a predictive maintenance model. The predictive maintenance model is trained by a machine learning process with a historical database of completed pumping jobs. The predictive maintenance model determines a probability of a future maintenance event in response to the current pump usage. The unit controller displays an alert of the remaining pump life in comparison to a threshold value for a recommended pump maintenance period or a required pump maintenance period.
