Knowledge Check

1. What is the primary purpose of real-time monitoring in a digital oilfield?

To replace all field operators To continuously capture and transmit well and equipment data for faster decision-making To store data for annual reports only To reduce the number of sensors needed

2. What does SCADA stand for?

System Control and Data Architecture Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition Sensor Collection and Digital Analysis Smart Control and Automated Distribution

3. Which artificial lift method uses a multistage centrifugal pump powered by an electric motor downhole?

Gas Lift Rod Pump ESP (Electrical Submersible Pump) PCP (Progressive Cavity Pump)

4. What is the advantage of predictive maintenance over preventive maintenance?

It is cheaper to implement It repairs equipment based on actual condition data rather than a fixed schedule It eliminates the need for sensors It never requires human intervention

5. Which of the following is a key ESP monitoring parameter?

Seismic wave velocity Motor temperature Surface air temperature Drill bit RPM

6. What is "remaining useful life" (RUL) in predictive maintenance?

The total expected lifespan of a piece of equipment An estimate of how much longer a piece of equipment will operate before failure The time since the equipment was installed The warranty period of the equipment

Predictive Maintenance
