Case Study: a South America based operating company cuts wellsite visits with SLB's Lift IQ service

Production Life Cycle Management Service Eliminates 1,195 Wellsite Visits in South American Field, Saving a Total of 26,141 Miles

SLB worked with a South America Based Operating Company operating a mature South American field with more than 230 artificially lifted wells. The customer needed to reduce frequent wellsite visits used to monitor and optimize artificial lift systems while dealing with difficult downhole conditions, high interwell spacing, and safety risks from long, often nighttime, driving.

SLB implemented the Lift IQ production life cycle management service to provide remote monitoring and intervention through the Artificial Lift Surveillance Center in Bogota. Over 29 months, SLB remotely completed 1,195 VSD adjustments, cutting field visits by 23%, reducing mileage by 26,141 miles, saving 497 work-hours, and eliminating 10,631 night-driving miles while improving production response and equipment performance.
