This paper outlines a concept for monitoring performance of artificial lift performance such as electrical submersible pump (ESP), hydraulic pumping unit (HPU), sucker rod pump (SRP) and progressive cavity pump (PCP), for a large number of wells. The objective is to generate simplified monitoring performance of artificial lift with a huge number of wells on one page by creating quadrant mapping consisting of two coordinates with x axis representing pump efficiency and y axis showing pump submergence. We made a four-quadrant limit by pump efficiency (50%) and submergence (200 m). Optimum wells will show on range pump efficiency above 50% and submergence below 200 m, and 3 other quadrants are classified as artificial lift problems, well potential and sizing/design problems. By using the quadrant mapping concept, we can generate performance of artificial lift for 1500++ wells in one page, and this mapping consists of four quadrants (quadrant 1, quadrant 2, quadrant 3 and quadrant 4), quadrant 1 showing wells which have artificial lift problem, quadrant 2 showing well which have potential to increased production , quadrant 3 showing the optimum wells operation and quadrant 4 showing the wells which required to re-sizing/re-design artificial lift, this mapping can be shown to Engineers, manager’s and shareholder to show overall performance and classification detailed problems to create a troubleshooting, optimization program to increased oil production, run life artificial and result in better production performance. This mapping also helps petroleum engineers to get a better field view and create priorities and program optimization based on the quadrant mapping result and classification.
