SLB has launched Electris, a portfolio of digitally enabled electric well completions technologies that enhance production and recovery while reducing asset ownership costs.

 

These technologies digitally control the entire productive area of the wellbore, providing real-time production intelligence across the reservoir. This improves reservoir management and allows operators to predict, adapt, and act confidently in response to dynamic production conditions.

 

“Electris completions take reservoir management to the next level — making it possible for operators to get more out of their assets with fewer requirements for costly well interventions,” said Paul Sims, president, Production Systems. “With much of the ‘easy’ oil already produced, operators are encountering more and more complex reservoirs. Electris completions can help shift the production economics in these reservoirs — resulting in higher recovery factors that maximise return on investment from the asset.”

 

There have been more than 100 installations of Electris completions technologies across five countries. In Norway, Electris completions were deployed offshore to enhance oil production in an extended-reach well. The operator is using intelligence from the system to determine which zones are contributing to production to optimise oil output and minimise produced water. Controlling water production with Electris completions has decreased the energy needed to lift and then pump treated water back into the reservoir. -TradeArabia News Service
