Addressing a field’s production only when production figures are significantly impacted (a reactive approach) increases the cost to resolve the issue. But think of intervention as proactive maintenance that occurs throughout the life of a field or well. For example, we take our cars to be serviced and maintained regularly. Checking fluid levels and tire pressure regularly is analogous to monitoring fluid contacts and well pressures to intervene or perform maintenance as necessary.

At SLB, we leverage our differentiated domain expertise, technology portfolio, and digital workflows to drive proactive intervention and stimulation solutions. This reduces the cost of the value chain, with a 30% lower cost per barrel* and 33% lower carbon footprint per barrel* as opposed to infill drilling to increase production.
