A SLB Case Study
SLB worked with Khalda Petroleum Company, an Egyptian oil producer operating in a scale-prone field in the West Desert, where scale buildup on an ESP was threatening production and shortening pump life. The company needed a way to reduce deferred production and avoid unplanned shutdowns.
SLB implemented the Lift IQ production life cycle management service to remotely monitor ESP performance in real time, detect early signs of scale buildup, and guide corrective action before failure. Using the service, SLB helped the operator adjust pump conditions and perform acid washes, restoring production and avoiding unnecessary delays, saving USD 540,000 in workover costs and deferred production.
