Resumo

The offshore industry is responsible for most of the oil and gas production in Brazil. When the level of
complexity in this industry is high, it has been a precursor to new technologies in recent years. The main objective

of the present work is the development of a system for the detection and classification of failures in oil produc-
tion wells operated with elevation by gas lift. Stacked autoencoders are used and pattern recognition techniques

for fault classification, verifying performance metrics and applying cross-validation to check the generalization of

the models for the available observations. After the development of the classifiers, high recall values were ob-
tained (much higher than 0.88), which shows the great applicability of the proposed system in detecting failures in

offshore production wells.
