The Permanent Downhole Gauge (PDG) pressure measurement is of great importance for offshore oil well modeling and control since it is measured close to the bottom hole. The PDG is installed in a remote undersea environment, which makes expensive the maintenance in case of fault. For this reason, PDG measurements are frequently unavailable. To overcome this limitation, the PDG pressure can be estimated using other available measurements. The estimation is not a simple task since, depending on process operational conditions, the multiphase flow might present limit cycles. In this work, Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) are proposed as potential techniques for the PDG pressure estimation. The comparison of the results shows that ANN returns precise estimation for a short-time window after the failure, but fails when a different process operating condition is applied, while EKF returns good estimation in all the cases.
