Abhay Dutt Paroha, Aakash Chotrani . A Comparative Analysis of TimeGPT and Time-LLM in Predicting ESP Maintenance Needs in the Oil and Gas Sector. International Journal of Computer Applications. 186, 8 ( Feb 2024), 1-10. DOI=10.5120/ijca2024923426
This research evaluates the application of advanced artificial intelligence models, TimeGPT and Time-LLM, for predictive maintenance of Electrical Submersible Pumps (ESPs) in the upstream oil and gas industry. The study meticulously analyzes the models’ proficiency in forecasting maintenance needs, aiming to augment operational efficiency and reduce unplanned downtimes. Utilizing a dataset rich in essential operational parameters, the comparative analysis reveals TimeGPT’s marginally superior performance, with an accuracy of 95.2%, precision of 92.8%, recall of 94.1%, and an AUC-ROC of 0.971. In contrast, Time-LLM achieves an accuracy of 93.6%, precision of 90.5%, recall of 91.2%, and an AUC-ROC of 0.957. Both models effectively identify critical indicators of ESP health, aligning with established industry knowledge. The integration challenges of these AI models into existing industrial setups are discussed, underscoring the necessity for high-quality data and system compatibility. The study suggests future research directions, emphasizing model refinement, economic impact assessment, and AI technology’s ethical and environmental considerations. This research provides significant insights into the use of AI in industrial maintenance, marking a stride toward more proactive and datadriven operational strategies in the oil and gas sector.
