Abstract

Natural gas is one of the important energy sources. However, during the production process of natural gas, abnormal events often occurred due to various factors so that the pumping equipment could not work. At present, the detection of abnormal production of gas wells mainly relies on the personal experience of engineers. The continuous production of gas well data puts huge pressure on limited manpower. Moreover, the results of manual judgment are often unreliable due to personal subjectivity, and problems such as failure to find abnormalities in time. The objective of this paper is to establish a fast and reliable data-driven anomaly detection framework. Its focus is managing and processing a high volume of data to improve operational efficiency, enhance decision making and mitigate risks in the workplace. The proposed framework employs a state-of-the-art algorithm, called boosting tree, which can not only identify point anomalies but also find context anomalies based on historical data. Comparing the test results with the manual annotation results on several real gas production datasets, the results show that the proposed framework is proficient at detecting anomalies.
