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