Abstract Key words: Motor faults, vibration analysis, bearings, sensor fusion, Data acquisition, condition monitoring Electrical pump is widely used in the oil & gas production as an efficient and reliable tool at high production volumes and greater depths (Breit and Ferrier 2008). Globally, around 95 percent of oil-wells required artificial lift systems to pump the underground oil to the surface as the wellbore pressure is too low (Schultz, Tibbetts et al. 2015). Among these systems, 20-25 percent deployed electrical pumps to achieve that process (Adesanwo 2016). However, due to the harsh working environment, electrical pumps health condition often declines without much warning and cause huge financial lose from both down time and …show more content…

It can lead to a great cost-saving and less maintenance requirements owing to this intelligent system. Acknowledgement Special thanks for my first Supervisor Prof. Sureshkumar P for his teaching, support and encouragement during the development of this research. Special thanks for my second supervisor Prof. Kamal Debnath for his support, reviews and discussions during this research. Special thanks for Mr. Joep Horsten for his help in data collection and discussions during the experiments. Finally, I would like to thanks my friend Shaojiang Li for his support and motivation during this time. Chapter 1 Introduction Health condition monitoring for rotating machinery has progressed for many years with great improvements to algorithms for data analysis due to its potential to reduce the maintenance cost and increase operation safety and availability. It involves aspects include sensors, data processing, health assessment and decision-making (Cubillo 2016). Prognostics and health management (PHM) is a research field and application that aims at making use of history information to recognize the current (diagnostics) and future evolution (prognostics) health state of a system which can be a plant, a drilling platform or an engine in order to detect its degradation, diagnose its faults, predict impending failures (Zio 2012).
