Abstract
A computer-implemented reservoir prediction system, method, and software are provided for failure prediction for artificial lift well systems, such as sucker rod pump systems. The method includes providing well data from a production well. Attributes are extracted from the well data. Data mining is applied to the attributes to determine whether the production well is predicted to fail within a given time period. An alert is output indicative of impending production well failures.
