Case Study: Permian Basin Operating Company achieves 91% ESP uptime with SLB Lift IQ remote interventions

Lift IQ Service Remote Interventions Deliver 91% ESP Uptime in the Permian Basin

SLB worked with Permian Basin Operating Company to reduce field visits to remote wells while maintaining or improving ESP uptime in the Permian Basin. The operator faced frequent ESP stoppages and long travel times to remote sites, making quick intervention difficult and costly.

SLB implemented the Lift IQ production life cycle management service to provide 24/7 surveillance, data visualization, and remote control of wells. Over a three-month period, this raised ESP uptime to 91% in wells with remote monitoring and intervention versus 57% for wells with visualization alone, helped avoid 1,800 bbl of deferred oil production, eliminated 800 hours of field service, and delivered about USD 206,000 in value.
