Tech Paper Innovative Multitrip Method for All-Electric Intelligent Multilateral Completions in Extended-Reach Wells
Incorporating an electrical reservoir management system and a first-of-its-kind wireless deployment system.
Optimize recovery with real-time control
Robust and versatile, standard SLB configurable technologies enable modular intelligent completion designs to accommodate various well conditions. Our solutions are engineered to withstand severe environments with scale deposits, erosion, and high temperatures. A selection of interval control valves address a wide range of oil, water, and gas applications, including multizone intelligent completions and water injectors.
Our electric interval control valves (eICVs) expand options for reservoir, completion, production, and process engineers.
Whether you are planning a few simple multizone wells or a field of complex multilaterals, you can rely on SLB expertise for intelligent completion systems that deliver maximum performance for specific economic and technical conditions.
Each intelligent completion system and our modular equipment are designed and engineered to enable seamless integration and flexibility. Every reservoir is unique, and our technology helps you simplify planning, reduce installation risk, and implement the active monitoring and control you want for your target well type. Intuitive surface interfaces help you manage your production with ease.
