Abstract
A system is disclosed for monitoring a well having a pump disposed within a bore to pump fluid out of the bore through a pipe. The system may include a sensing unit having a device that is remotely operatable to press at least one sensor toward the pipe. The at least one sensor may be configured to generate a flowrate signal indicative of a flowrate of the fluid through the pipe. The system may also include a hub connected to the sensing unit and configured to receive the signal.
Claims20
A system for monitoring a well having a pump disposed within a bore to pump fluid out of the bore through a pipe, the system comprising:
- a sensing unit having a device that is remotely operatable to press at least one sensor toward the pipe, the at least one sensor being configured to generate a flowrate signal indicative of a flowrate of the fluid through the pipe;
- and
- a hub connected to the sensing unit and configured to receive the signal.
A system for monitoring a well having a pump disposed within a bore to pump fluid out of the bore through a pipe, the system comprising:
- a sensing unit configured to generate a flowrate signal indicative of a flowrate of the fluid through the pipe;
- and
- a hub in communication with the sensing unit and configured to determine a depth of water in the bore based on the flowrate signal and an amount of power consumed by the pump.
A method of monitoring a well, comprising:
- using a sensing unit located inside of a well casing to generate a flowrate signal indicative of a flowrate of water pumped by a pump submerged in the well;
- and
- using a hub located remotely from the sensing unit to determine a depth of water in the well based on the flowrate signal.
