Case Study: Trinity Exploration & Production reestablishes production and cuts costs with SLB LiftWatcher

Proactive Well Monitoring Enables Trinity to Reestablish Production in Gas Lock Event

Trinity Exploration & Production worked with SLB to address abnormal ESP operation in a high-gas offshore Trinidad well, where gas lock events were threatening production and downhole equipment integrity. The company needed a faster way to detect the issue and respond before it caused extended downtime and losses.

Using SLB’s LiftWatcher real-time surveillance service, the team identified the gas lock event, notified the location, and remotely adjusted frequency settings to stabilize the well and restore production. SLB helped Trinity reestablish output in just 7 hours, cut troubleshooting time by 70%, and reduce remedial costs by 84% by avoiding onsite troubleshooting and minimizing deferred production.
