Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of computer vision, and particularly relates to a fault diagnosis method for pumping units based on multi-modal fusion under heavy oil working conditions, which can be used for guiding the oil production industry. Background Art

[0002] Heavy oil extraction is an important and challenging process in the petroleum industry. Due to the high viscosity and poor fluidity of heavy oil, special production processes such as steam injection and heating are usually required to effectively increase the oil well production. During the heavy oil extraction process, the operating load of the pumping unit increases significantly, and the equipment is easily affected by the oil product characteristics and process conditions, resulting in increased mechanical wear, decreased pump efficiency and other problems. In addition, under heavy oil working conditions, the pumping unit often operates in a high-temperature and high-pressure environment, which further increases the probability of failure and the complexity of diagnosis.

[0003] Although existing expert systems and deep learning methods have been able to identify various pumping unit faults, most of these methods only rely on a single information source, namely the dynamometer card, which increases the risk of misjudgment during the diagnosis process. Especially when facing heavy oil working conditions, the fluctuations of equipment operating parameters are more complex, and a single information source is difficult to accurately reflect the overall state of the equipment. Therefore, it is difficult to effectively diagnose major and rare faults of the pumping unit.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a fault diagnosis method for pumping units based on multi-modal fusion under heavy oil working conditions to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention
