Case Study: a leading Shwe field producing company achieves 70% lower screen consumption and 3.5x longer screen life with SLB DURAFLO Screens

DURAFLO Screens Last 3.5× Longer Compared with Conventional Screens Offshore Myanmar

SLB worked with a leading Shwe field producing company developing the Shwe field on an offshore production platform in Myanmar. The operator needed to improve inventory and logistics efficiency on a rig running a BRANDT VSM 300 shale shaker, while also reducing costs and finding a screen technology that would last longer in difficult drilling conditions.

SLB, through M-I SWACO, provided DURAFLO composite replacement screens for side-by-side testing against conventional screens. The DURAFLO screens reduced screen consumption by 70% and increased front screen life by 3.5 times, while also improving shaker efficiency and helping reduce logistics and inventory demands.
