Abstract
A method for detecting operational issues in a beam pump unit includes receiving sensor data representing a position of and a load on the beam pump unit, using a sensor coupled to the beam pump unit, generating a surface dynacard based on the sensor data, predicting a source of inefficiency in the beam pump unit based at least in part on the surface dynacard using a machine learning algorithm, and identifying one or more corrective actions to take to address the source of inefficiency.
