Case Study: Cairn Oil and Gas (Vedanta) boosts well productivity by 10% and saves ~$1.2M/year with Bentley AssetWise

Cairn Implements Smart Well Integrity and Flow Assurance Management System

Cairn Oil and Gas (Vedanta Limited), which operates more than 850 wells in India, was struggling with aging-well issues—wax, scaling, corrosion, and rising annuli pressures—and fragmented, manual monitoring that limited visibility for well integrity and flow assurance. Seeking a smart well integrity and flow assurance management system (SWIM), Cairn chose Bentley’s AssetWise to create a connected digital environment and replace error-prone, disparate workflows.

Bentley implemented AssetWise as the foundation of Cairn’s SWIM, integrating data into a single web-based platform, automating alarms, monitoring, and cumulative cost‑performance analysis, and enabling real-time visibility and proactive maintenance. The AssetWise solution delivered a central well database, increased productive well time by 10%, helped prevent uncontrolled fluid releases, eliminated ineffective stimulation treatments, and saved approximately $1.2 million per year while improving flow assurance and decision-making.
