SAM4 for Electrical Submersible Pumps
Catch ESP failures weeks, before they pull production offline.
ESPs fail more often than any other form of artificial lift, and most of those failures are electrical, invisible to downhole pressure and temperature gauges. SAM4 reads the motor's electrical signature from the surface, identifies developing faults early, and gives your team time to plan the intervention.

Surface mounted with no downhole hardware or well intervention.
SAM4 reads the electrical signal at the motor control centre, decomposes it into fault signatures, and continuously tracks each ESP against its healthy baseline.
The full method and spec are in the brief.
Install at the surface
One brief de-energisation at the step-up transformer. No asset-mounted hardware, no workover, no rig time.
Continuous monitoring
High-frequency current and voltage data, analysed for fault signatures across the full powertrain.
Works on VFD and permanent-magnet drives.
Validated incidents
Every detection is reviewed by a Samotics reliability engineer before it reaches your team, with severity, diagnosis, and a recommended action.
Most ESP failures are electrical and traditional monitoring doesn't see them.
Downhole gauges measure pressure and temperature, they're not designed to read electrical behaviour. SCADA samples too slowly to catch the frequency-domain signatures that precede electrical faults. And the gauges themselves often fail earlier than expected, especially in HPHT and sour environments.
SAM4 was built to close that gap from the surface, without touching the well.
