Abstract
The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for determining the water level and health of a wellbore. The system may be configured to perform a wellbore water level determination method and a wellbore health determination method to determine the water level in a wellbore (and/or the health of the wellbore) using a set of real-time parameters and pump-characteristics data.
Claims16
A water level determination method for determining a water level in a wellbore, the water level determination method comprising:
- providing a pumping unit;
- providing a fluid connection line, the fluid connection line comprising:
- an inlet fluidically coupled to the pumping unit;
- an outlet fluidically coupled to a water infrastructure;
- and
- an intermediate line disposed between the inlet and the outlet;
- providing a sensor unit in the intermediate line;
- sensing a sensor data of a water flowing across the intermediate line with the sensor unit, the sensor data comprising:
- a pressure,
- a flow rate, and
- a temperature;
- transmitting the sensor data to a first server;
- determining a set of real-time parameters corresponding to the sensor data;
- analyzing the set of real-time parameters with:
- a characteristic data of the pumping unit, the wellbore, and the fluid connection line, wherein the characteristic data is stored in the first server;
- determining a water level parameter by analyzing the characteristic data and the set of real-time parameters;
- and
- determining the water level based on the water level parameter.
