Case Study: a leading service and equipment provider achieves 99% frac valve uptime with SLB CAMShale service

Operator saves USD 676,000 in one year and avoids multiple valve replacements at USD 1.5 million each

A leading service and equipment provider was working on a multiwell hydraulic fracturing project in the Fayetteville Shale and needed to minimize nonproductive time while avoiding costly frac valve replacements. The operator wanted reliable equipment and service to keep fracturing operations running safely and continuously, and turned to SLB for support.

SLB implemented the CAMShale fracturing fluid delivery and flowback service, including frac trees, frac manifolds, frac iron, and the FracServ enhanced valve-reliability program. The result was 99% valve uptime, about USD 676,000 in annual savings, roughly 50% lower equipment delivery and installation costs, and the avoidance of multiple valve replacements valued at USD 1.5 million each.
