Claim Text:
1. A method for artificial lift system surveillance, the method comprising: receiving user input for filtering a plurality of artificial lift systems corresponding to a plurality of production wells, wherein the user input indicates filtering using, an operations supervisor category and manage state category, wherein the operations supervisor category represents a field or an asset, and wherein the manage state category allows saving, updating and deleting of a previously saved group of artificial lift systems; applying the filtering to the plurality of artificial lift systems corresponding to the plurality of production wells; receiving production well information for the production wells corresponding to the artificial lift systems that satisfy the filtering; and displaying the production well information for the production wells corresponding to the artificial lift systems that satisfy the filtering in a hierarchical ordering, wherein the hierarchical ordering comprises a treemap that defines a plurality of cells, wherein each cell corresponds to the one of the artificial lift systems and includes at least one cell parameter that is representative of the production well information of the production well corresponding to the artificial lift system such that the production well information serves as proxy of health of the corresponding artificial lift system.
