Section Overview This section describes the major components of the Lufkin Well Manager™ 2.0 rod pump controller system and their functions.

System Description The Lufkin Well Manager™ 2.0 rod pump controller is a pre-programmed device mounted at the wellsite that gathers, processes, stores, and analyzes either analog data obtained from load and position transducers or digital data obtained from motor RPM and crank arm sensors. This controller uses the data from these input devices to monitor and control the operation of a pumping unit and to display graphic data on an LCD display or portable laptop computer in a format easy to understand.

Figure 2-1. Lufkin Well Manager 2.0 Field Controller

The Lufkin Well Manager (LWM) 2.0 controller receives information from the input devices to determine whether sufficient fluid is present in the well bore. If the control unit determines that the well is in a pumped off condition, the control unit turns off the motor control output to stop the pumping unit and places the pumping unit into a downtime mode. Downtime mode allows fluid to flow back into the well bore. After downtime elapses, the control unit turns on the motor control output to start the pumping unit again. In VSD mode, the controller uses the data input to calculate a dynagraph card and analyzes that card to determine the percent fill of the pump barrel. The speed of the pumping unit is continuously varied in order to maintain optimum pump fillage. Secondary control functions protect the drive system and the pumping unit equipment in the event of abnormal loads due to sticking pump, floating rod string, mechanical equipment failure, etc. The LWM 2.0 controller also uses this information to detect malfunctions and problems with the pumping unit and the load and position input devices. Current information about pumping activity can be obtained on demand. Historical data at the wellsite can also be obtained at any time, and this data can be plotted and produced on reports.

Lufkin Well Manager™ 2.0 Rod Pump Controller User Manual

Operation Modes The LWM 2.0 controller has three rod pump control operation modes:

• Host: The controller starts and stops the pumping unit based on a user command. This mode is primarily intended for use with a SCADA system. A Host Mode Off global command can be issued by the SCADA program to shut down specific wells and keep them shut down until the operator decides to re-start them. In Host mode, a minimum control capability for peak and minimum load and for end devicechecking is available.

• Timed: The controller cycles the pumping unit off and on for a user-programmed On Time and Off Time. This mode is used to temporarily continue cycling a well at an historical on/off pattern until repairs can be made to a faulty load or position input device. Timed mode also provides a minimum control capability for peak and minimum load and for end device-checking.

• Normal: This mode is “normally” the operating mode of choice, and can include the following features:

Primary control functions Pump off control actions Load and position options Malfunction control functions

These normal operating mode features are described on the following pages.

Primary Control Functions The basic purpose of the LWM 2.0 controller is to determine when the fluid level in the wellbore is pumped down to the point where pump intake pressure is no longer sufficient to completely fill the pump barrel with fluid during the upstroke. Incompletely filling the pump barrel reduces the efficiency of the pumping operation and the resulting “fluid pound” causes extra wear and tear on pumps, rods, tubing, and surface equipment. The normal desire of an operator is to pump all of the fluid available, which typically results in the pumping unit system being designed with more lift capacity than required. Overcapacity will in time draw the fluid level down to the point where the pump is no longer completely filled and “fluid pound” occurs. This means the well is pumped off. The LWM 2.0 controller can use one of two methods to detect a pumped-off condition:

• Percent pump fillage: This method is based on a downhole pump card using polished rod load and position inputs, and is the most accurate of the three methods. It is capable of controlling problem wells that surface control might have trouble evaluating. Accurate data for pumping unit dimensions and rod string design does need to be programmed in the controller. The downhole control selection also includes fluid load information.

• Single setpoint control: This method is based on a surface dynagraph card using polished rod load and position inputs, and is easier to use for simple well control. However, several factors make the surface dynagraph more difficult to analyze in some wells, and many of the more sophisticated analysis aids provided with the downhole control method are not available.

Pump Off Control Actions When a pumped off condition is detected, the LWM 2.0 controller is capable of either cycling off the well or adjusting a speed control output to a variable speed drive.

• On/Off Cycle Control: Setting the proper downtime or idle time is as important as setting the proper pumped off limit. Downtime can be programmed by the operator based on experience or production tests. The LWM 2.0 controller also offers an auto downtime feature to help determine the optimum downtime for a given well. The auto downtime algorithm steps through a series of incrementing downtime steps and records the average pumping time for each step. The resulting “build up” curve is analyzed to find the knee indicating that fluid level in the wellbore is approaching the static level and then an optimum downtime is selected.

• Variable Speed Control: The LWM 2.0 control algorithm adjusts an analog output to maintain a desired pump fill level. The variable speed function is compatible with both the downhole pump card control method and the surface card control method. Optional analog output hardware is required. When a pumped off condition is detected, the LWM 2.0 controller is capable of cycling off the well as needed. Downtime can be programmed by the operator based on experience or production tests. The LWM 2.0 controller also offers an auto downtime feature to help determine the optimum downtime for a given well. The auto downtime algorithm steps through a series of incrementing downtime steps and records the average pumping time for each step. The resulting “build up” curve is analyzed to find the knee indicating that fluid level in the wellbore is approaching the static level and then an optimum downtime is selected.

Load and Position Input Options The LWM 2.0 controller is designed to accept load and position data from a number of input devices. A polished rod load cell provides the load input. Position input is a digital signal from two Hall-Effect transducers, one sensing motor RPM and the other sensing the crank arm. Any combination of load and position can be used, but there are preferred combinations for best results for the selected pump off control method. Some of the secondary malfunction type controls are not available with some combinations of inputs. Refer to the section titled “Digital Transducers” on page 2-23 for details on these input devices.

Malfunction Control Functions The LWM 2.0 controller performs many secondary control functions to detect pumping equipment malfunction and to help protect equipment against further damage in the event of an equipment failure. The LWM 2.0 controller also checks for malfunctioning signal input devices. The LWM 2.0 controller allows for a programmable number of re-tries when a malfunction event occurs. On the first occurrence, the LWM 2.0 controller shuts off the pumping unit for the programmed downtime, and then re-tries by starting the pumping unit again. If the condition has cleared, the LWM 2.0 controller clears the consecutive count and continues with usual operation. If the condition continues for the programmed number of re-tries, the LWM 2.0 controller shuts down the pumping unit in a malfunction state that requires the operator to solve the problem and return the pumping system to a pumping state. Malfunction control features can be individually enabled or disabled. The malfunction controls include:

Lufkin Well Manager™ 2.0 Rod Pump Controller User Manual

• Malfunction Setpoint: Shuts down the well if surface load on the upstroke falls below the Malfunction setpoint for the programmed number of consecutive strokes. Pumping equipment failures are detected, such as rod parts or the traveling valve not closing. Load and position inputs are required.

• Peak Load: Shuts down the well if the polished rod load exceeds an allowed peak load. Requires load input.

• Minimum Load: Shuts down the well if the polished rod load falls below a allowed minimum load. A load input is required.

• Low Motor RPM: The LWM 2.0 controller will shut down the pumping unit if the measured motor RPM drops below an allowed low limit. This feature provides protection against stuck pump conditions with quicker response than peak load detection. A Hall-Effect position input is required.

• No Crank: Detects the loss of the crank arm Hall-Effect switch input. Without this input, the LWM 2.0 controller has very limited capabilities, so this is treated as a malfunction condition to call operator attention to the need for repairs. This function is only available with the Hall-Effect position input.

• No RPM: Detects the loss of the motor RPM Hall-Effect switch input. Without this input, the LWM 2.0 controller has very limited capabilities, so this is treated as a malfunction condition to call operator attention to the need for repairs. It is only available with the Hall-Effect position input.

• Belt Slippage: The LWM 2.0 controller counts the number of motor revolutions each pump stroke. If that number rises above a set reference by more than an allowed percentage, an alarm flag is set to alert the operator to possible belt slippage. No control action is taken. A Hall-Effect position input is required.

• Peak Torque: Shuts down the well if the calculated maximum torque for a stroke exceeds the allowed limit. The LWM 2.0 controller calculates torque from a speed/torque curve for the pumping unit prime mover and digital inputs for motor shaft RPM and crank arm cycles. A HallEffect position input is required. It is available with either surface or downhole control method.

• Peak PRHP (Polished Rod Horsepower) Limit (lbs): When this value exceeds the allowed limit, the controller sets an alert flag to advise the operator that a paraffin treatment may be required. This value is a high limit. See “Operational Limits Configuration” on page 8-24 for information on configuring these setpoints.

Fluid Pound Avoidance Fluid pound occurs in a pumping oil well when the pump is not completely filling with fluid on the upstroke. As the downstroke begins, the entire fluid and rod string load moves down through a void until the plunger hits the fluid level in the pump barrel. The traveling valve opens, suddenly transferring the load to the tubing, causing a sharp decrease in load, which transmits a shock wave through the pumping system. It is this shock wave that damages the parts of the pumping system. Figure 2-2 illustrates a fluid pound scenario and the effect it has on the pumping system.

Figure 2-2. Fluid Pound Scenario

The fluid pound avoidance (FPA) control algorithm feature uses the ability of a Variable Speed Drive (VSD) to modulate the speed of the prime mover within one stroke to reduce the effects that fluid pound conditions have on the pumping system. The FPA velocity profile slowly reduces the plunger velocity just as the plunger encounters the fluid in the barrel of the pump to reduce the relative velocity between the plunger and the fluid. This results in a mitigation/reduction of the shock loading that the system experiences. Figure 2-3 depicts the FPA intra-stroke velocity command profile.

Figure 2-3. FPA Intra-Stroke Velocity Command Profile

Lufkin Well Manager™ 2.0 Rod Pump Controller User Manual

To avoid loss in production due to the reduction of speed to mitigate fluid pound, the controller with its adaptive control process will compensate by increasing the speed to make up the loss of SPM. This action allows the overall SPM to be as close as possible to the target/planned SPM of the cycle. Figure 3 depicts the LWM 2.0 advance analysis and adaptive control process involved in addressing the well fluid pound condition.

Figure 2-4. LWM 2.0 Fluid Pound Avoidance Process

Communication Protocol The LWM 2.0 controller uses Modbus-based communications protocol, and also offers the advantages of the Extended Lufkin Automation Modbus (ELAM) protocol for SCADA software packages that goes beyond the limitations of conventional Modbus. All of the configuration, status, and historical data available at the local keypad interface are also available via data telemetry link to SCADA software.

Operator Interface Several parameters need to be defined to program the LWM 2.0. Programming is done through the local operator interface, which consists of a full-function LCD graphics display and 32-key keypad. This operator interface is menu-driven.

The components of this module are described below:

• 12VDC Power Input: Power is supplied to the controller at this input. • Serial Port: This port is for Engineering use only. • Digital I/O Status Lamps: These lamps indicate the status of each digital input/output channel. The default assignments for each channel are as follows:

• D1 – Indicates the MCC (Motor Control Center) is active. • D2 – Indicates a hardware fault has occurred. • D3 – Indicates a motor start alert.

Lufkin Well Manager™ 2.0 Rod Pump Controller User Manual

D4 – Indicates a malfunction error in the pumping system. D5 – Indicates the HOA switch is in Hand position. D6 – Indicates the HOA switch is in Auto position. D7 – Indicates an ESD (Emergency Shutdown) has occurred. D8 – Not used

These channel assignments can be disabled and reassigned to other digital input/output devices as needed.

• PLS1 (Pulse 1): This is the Motor RPM status lamp. It blinks rapidly when a signal is being received from the Hall-Effect transducer mounted on the motor shaft.

• PLS2 (Pulse 2): This is the Crank RPM status lamp. It blinks rapidly when a signal is being received from the Hall-Effect transducer mounted on the crank arm speed.

• ATTN: This is the controller status lamp. It indicates the status of the controller’s processor during operation. When no problems are detected, this lamp flashes green during normal operation. When a problem is detected, the lamp flashes red.

• Ethernet Ports: These ports are used to connect the controller module with other system components (such as the communication module).

• Base I/O Terminals: These terminals are used for connecting the pumping system’s main digital input/output devices.

• Expanded I/O Terminals: These terminals provide additional inputs for connecting other system input/output devices.

• Ground Buss: Used as a ground point for all input/output devices. Refer to the Mark* VIe Controller UCPA Instruction Guide (GE Document # GEI-100719) for more details on this controller module.

HMI Module This module connects the LCD display and keypad to the communication gateway module. See “Operator Interface” on page 2-9 for more information on the LCD display and keypad.

Remote Communication Device An optional remote communication device can be added to the enclosure for long-range wireless communication. More information on this module will be added later.

Power Supply All LWM 2.0 controllers use a power supply for converting AC power to 12VDC power. This power supply has an input range of 100 – 240VAC, 50/60 Hz, and 240W.

Terminal Blocks Terminal blocks are provided for field termination of all transmitter leads, including individual shield termination points. The terminal blocks are front-access compression-clip type, so the field leads do not require crimp lugs.

Digital Transducers The LWM 2.0 controller is designed to work with input signals for polished rod load and surface stroke position. The polished rod load cell and Hall-Effect transducer combination is preferred for downhole percent fillage control and in-depth analysis of the pump cards when accurate surface dynagraph data needs to be obtained. These transducers are discussed below.

Polished Rod Load Cell The polished rod load cell (PRLC) is a load input transducer that is used to measure the polished rod load. A low-level load signal is generated by the PRLC and transmitted through a cable to the controller. In the LWM 2.0 controller, the load signal is amplified and conditioned for use. The PRLC provides a quantitative measurement of the load on the rod string. It is mounted on top of the carrier bar under the rod clamp. The PRLC directly measures the weight of the rod string and fluid column on the pump plunger. A spherical washer set between the PRLC and the carrier bar ensures concentric loading even if the carrier bar is tilted. It is available in full load ratings of 30K or 50K pounds. It is the most accurate of the two load options and requires no field calibration during installation. Disadvantages are that a long working loop is required for the signal cable, damage to the device by service crews is possible, and loss of accuracy due to fluid pound or floating rods is possible.

Hall-Effect Transducers Hall-Effect transducers are magnetic sensors that sense the passage of magnets mounted on the motor shaft and the pumping unit crank arm. The LWM 2.0 controller uses these two digital inputs and pumping unit dimension data to calculate polished rod position. Two Hall-Effect transducers are used in this system. One transducer measures precise motor speed and the second transducer marks the crank arm passage at the bottom of each stroke. These two digital signals, coupled with user-entered precise pumping unit dimensional data, allow the controller to accurately calculate surface stroke position. As additional advantages, they can monitor for belt slippage, and instantaneously shut down the pumping unit when a “locked rotor” equipment failure occurs. Their disadvantages are that proper alignment must be maintained between the sensor and magnets, and pumping unit dimensional data must be entered during installation and commissioning.
