Downhole leak detection in a hydraulic system

A system for detecting leaks in a hydraulic system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• at least one computer-readable storage medium having stored therein instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to:
• retrieve from memory, current signatures for a plurality of components in a hydraulic system, the current signatures indicative of a normal operating condition for each component of the plurality of components, wherein the plurality of components includes a motor configured to power a pump that is configured to pressurize the hydraulic system;
• monitor current consumption of the motor during operation of the motor;
• determine, based on a comparison of the current consumption and current signature of the motor, an abnormal operating condition of the motor;
• collect, based on the determination of the abnormal condition of the motor, current consumption data from the remaining components of the plurality of components;
• compare the collected current consumption data to the current signatures corresponding to each of the remaining components of the plurality of components;
• and
• identify, based on the comparison of the collected current data and current signatures, an abnormal operating condition for at least one of the remaining components of the plurality of components.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising:

• instructions stored on the non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, the instructions, when executed by one more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
• retrieve from memory, current signatures for a plurality of components in a hydraulic system, the current signatures indicative of a normal operating condition for each component of the plurality of components, wherein the plurality of components includes a motor configured to power a pump that is configured to pressurize the hydraulic system;
• monitor current consumption of the motor during operation of the motor;
• determine, based on a comparison of the current consumption and current signature of the motor, an abnormal operating condition of the motor;
• collect, based on the determination of the abnormal condition of the motor, current consumption data from the remaining components of the plurality of components;
• compare the collected current consumption data to the current signatures corresponding to each of the remaining components of the plurality of components;
• and
• identify, based on the comparison of the collected current data and current signatures, an abnormal operating condition for at least one of the remaining components of the plurality of components.
