Case Study: Walter Oil & Gas Corporation saves time and lost production with SLB LIVE Act services
A SLB Case Study
LIVE Act Services Save Walter Oil & Gas Corporation Time and Lost Production, Gulf of Mexico
Walter Oil & Gas Corporation needed to temporarily abandon a deviated subsea well in the Gulf of Mexico that was completed with sliding sleeves, but prior slickline interventions had failed because of poor depth correlation and uncertainty about sleeve position. SLB proposed LIVE Act digital slickline mechanical services with surface readout capability to improve depth correlation and confirm sleeve status.
Using SLB’s LIVE Act services, the team accurately located the lower sliding sleeve, set and isolated the zone with a plug, and then opened two upper sleeves to produce from another zone. Real-time pressure and tension readings confirmed the intervention, saving Walter Oil & Gas additional vessel time and third-party services, and the work was completed ahead of schedule and on budget.
