This study proposes a robust fault diagnosis framework for electrical submersible pumps using Siamese contrastive representation learning to handle class imbalance in vibration data. By constructing an embedding space that clusters specific fault types, the method achieves consistent classification performance across unseen pump units without relying on extensive historical failure data. The approach demonstrates significant potential for improving predictive maintenance reliability in offshore oil production environments through advanced machine learning techniques.
Contrastive Siamese Representation Learning for Predictive Maintenance of Electrical Submersible Pumps
arXiv:2609.22360v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Electrical submersible pumps (ESPs) are essential in offshore oil production, where unexpected failures can result in significant operational and financial losses. Accurate predictive maintenance for ESP systems remains challenging due to nonlinear operating conditions, class imbalance, and variability among pump units. To address these issues, this study presents a fault diagnosis framework that incorporates class imbalance awareness by employing Siamese contrastive representation learning and prior-corrected k-nearest neighbor (KNN) classification. The method first extracts discriminative features relevant to fault detection from vibration-domain indicators and engineered harmonic relationships. A Siamese neural network is trained with class-balanced contrastive pairs to construct an embedding space that clusters samples of the same fault type and separates different fault classes. To further mitigate class imbalance during classification, a prior-corrected distance-weighted KNN is applied. The framework is validated using a Leave-One-ESP-Out (LOEO) strategy to evaluate generalization to previously unseen ESP units. Experimental results indicate that the proposed framework delivers robust and consistent fault classification performance under realistic industrial conditions, supporting its potential for reliable predictive maintenance and intelligent ESP system monitoring.
