This study explores the application of SqueezeNet, a lightweight deep learning architecture, for fault diagnosis in sucker rod pumps within the oil and gas industry. Initially, SqueezeNet encountered challenges in accurately classifying fault conditions. To address this, the integration of Error-Correcting Output Codes (ECOC) classifiers, specifically Support Vector Machines (SVM) and k-Nearest Neighbors (k-NN), was implemented, resulting in a significant improvement in accuracy and a reduction in misclassifications. Additionally, data augmentation techniques were employed to enhance the diversity and robustness of the training data, further boosting the model’s generalization capabilities.
Our findings highlight the transformative potential of combining deep learning with advanced machine learning techniques for predictive maintenance in critical infrastructure. The improved fault diagnosis accuracy can optimize asset management, leading to increased operational efficiency and enhanced reliability. These advancements can guide decision-making processes, resulting in substantial cost savings and improved asset reliability for sucker rod pump operations and other applications. This study underscores the value of innovative approaches in the oil and gas sector, paving the way for more efficient and reliable operations through the adoption of cutting-edge technologies.
