Filip Matovic, the Production Engineer at NIS Gazprom Neft. With a background in petroleum engineering and a passion for innovation, he’s making waves in the industry. Filip recently shared actionable insights at the Artificial Lift Summit 2022, and in this blog, we’ll explore his strategies for ESP predictive maintenance, a game-changer in artificial lift systems.

Filip Matovic, a key player in the field, had highlighted the remarkable concept of ESP Predictive Maintenance. This ingenious approach acted as a guardian for pumps that played a crucial role in extracting oil from the ground. It all started with the collection of a treasure trove of data from these pumps to understand their performance. Then, with the help of super-smart computer algorithms, it kept a watchful eye for anything unusual, like gas bubbles or gunk that might cause problems. But there was a twist – it also tapped into the wisdom of experienced experts who knew the secrets to keep pumps running smoothly. By combining all these elements, ESP Predictive Maintenance ensured the pumps stayed in tip-top shape, lasted longer without breaking down, and ultimately, helped extract more oil from the ground.
