2.2.b Introduction To Reliability Rev2.1 - 201809

This document provides an introduction to reliability analysis and metrics for measuring electric submersible pump (ESP) performance. It discusses reliability definitions and the consequences of low reliability. The objectives are to calculate ESP performance using different metrics, plot reliability curves, analyze ESP performance, and compare different ESP populations. It also outlines Schlumberger's goals to improve operational reliability in artificial lift by a factor of 10 by 2020. Various reliability metrics are introduced, including mean time to pull, survivability at 365 days, and average run life for measuring ESP reliability.

AE ESP NEW – ESP Training


Instructor: Irene Yu

Schlumberger-Private
Objectives

■ After the session you will be able to:


̶ Calculate ESP performance using different metrics.
̶ Plot simple reliability curves.
̶ Analyze ESP performance based on reliability plots.
̶ Compare ESP performance for different ESP population.
̶ Discuss with client’s reliability engineer and identify client’s requirements and expectations regarding ESP
reliability.

Introduction to Reliability
Reliability Definition

■ The probability of a product performing without failure


̶ a specified function
̶ under given conditions
̶ for a given period of time.

Quality Control Handbook, Third Edition; McGraw Hill

■ Reliability x Quality
̶ Reliability can be thought as a measure of quality over some time period.

Introduction to Reliability
Consequences of Low Reliability

■ What would 99% reliability mean?


̶ No electricity for 7 hours each month.
̶ 2 unsafe landings in every airport daily.
̶ 5,000 incorrect surgery operations per week.
̶ 200,000 wrong drug prescription each year.

■ Reliability in Oil and Gas industry


̶ Lost of well control causing accidents and major spills.
̶ Deferred oil production.
̶ Lost in revenue.
̶ Affects reputation.

MTTF and Exponential Distribution

■ Easy to calculate.

■ Population is assumed to perform under the exponential distribution.

■ Be careful! Calculated value can be misleading.


̶ MTTF and Average run life are two completely different concepts.

■ Constant failure rate in ESP operation can be questionable.

■ The model gets more accurate as the number of events increase.

Survival Analysis
The Bathtub Curve
■ Infant Mortality
̶ High failure rate however decreasing with time.
̶ Caused by wrong product specification, flaws in the
installation, manufacturing defects, improper handling.
■ Normal Life
̶ Constant failure rate.
̶ ESP failures happen randomly.
■ End of Life Period
̶ Failure rate increases over time.
̶ Components start to fatigue or wear-out.

Parametric Method
Weibull Distribution

■ Parametric distribution defined in 1951 by Waloddi Weibull.


■ Widely used in reliability engineering and survival analysis.
■ Allows to model the survivability plot with time-dependant failure rate.
■ The shape of the distribution is defined by 2 parameters:
̶ β which is called shape parameter
̶ η which is called scale parameter or characteristic life
■ Both parameters are obtained based on run life data.
■ Once β and η are known, the reliability for any time t can be determined.
