A new operating model to optimize production using unique well intervention solutions
As the need to produce more with reduced cost and lower environmental impact is more important than ever, well intervention is key to improve production performance. But many well intervention operations don’t meet customer objectives of incremental barrels. So how can you ensure the best intervention outcome, every time?
Unlike a traditional transactional customer-vendor relationship where service company and customer objectives are often misaligned, SLB partners with you to align our success criteria with yours. We leverage a unique performance-based operating model that results in a win-win outcome. Through collaboration, our domain expertise, rich technology portfolio, and digital workflows, this performance-based model improves well intervention, accelerates production, maximizes recovery in mature fields, and reduces the cost of the value chain instead of infill drilling as an alternative.
No matter your intervention challenge, we have a wide range of SLB technologies to ultimately optimize your production performance:
Application | Featured Technology |
---|---|
Application Wellbore flow assurance | Featured technology CLEAN SWEEP™ damage removal solvent systems NaqiClean™ single-phase multifunction remedial system |
Application Water diagnostics and shutoff | Featured technology Flow Scanner™ horizontal and deviated well production logging system Pulsar™ multifunction spectroscopy service |
Application Production and recovery | Featured technology Kinetix Matrix™ matrix stimulation design software OneSTEP™ high-performance sandstone stimulation solution OpenPath Sequence™ diversion stimulation service OpenPath Reach™ extended-contact stimulation service |
Application Sand management | Featured technology ReSOLVE Family™ active debris removal tool SandView™ downhole sand detection service |
Application Well integrity | Featured technology Epilogue™ dual-string barrier evaluation |
Application Real-time intervention | Featured technology ACTive Power™ CT real-time powered downhole measurements system Digital slickline ReSOLVE Family instrumented wireline intervention services |
To optimize production, SLB leverages Intervention Advisor software, an integrated digital workflow used for candidates, methods, and technology selection to manage risk, reduce the cost of the value chain, and enhance production and recovery. Intervention Advisor maps the production challenge—be it well integrity, flow assurance, conformance, etc.—to a solution portfolio that suggests the optimal diagnosis, remediation, and even prevention methods to avoid future recurrence. The software embeds SLB technologies as well as complementary technologies from some of our industry partners.

Built into Intervention Advisor software are multiwell contingency plans. The software can predict intervention outcomes, how many incremental barrels can be achieved for each scenario, and the chances of success. With these insights, you can make an informed, data-driven decision prior to executing the intervention operation.
The production enhancement performance-based operating model enabled EnQuest to enhance production of a five-well campaign in a North Sea oil field 1 year ahead of schedule.
SLB is part of an Intervention and Stimulation Alliance with Aker BP. As partners, we’ve achieved an intervention success rate of 96%.
Joint candidate selection and planning led to production uplift of 4,000 bbl/d across four wells in Libya.
