This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18385125 titled 'DRIVE POWER BASED PUMP MONITORING
Original Abstract Submitted
A method of monitoring one or more conditions of a pumping unit comprising pumping a wellbore treatment fluid into a wellbore wherein the pumping unit comprises a unit controller communicatively coupled to a variable frequency drive (VFD) communicatively coupled to a prime mover that is rotationally coupled to a pump. The unit controller comprises a processor configured to retrieve a data stream indicative of a pumping operation via one or more parameters from the VFD. A monitoring process can compare the one or more parameters from the VFD to a lower limit threshold and modify the pumping operation in response to the lower limit threshold exceeding the one or more parameters.
