Case Study: Southeast America Deepwater Company saves rig time with SLB's Quartet downhole reservoir testing system

Single-Trip Downhole Reservoir Test Saves Rig Time in Ultradeepwater Presalt Environment

SLB worked with Southeast America Deepwater Company on an ultradeepwater presalt reservoir test offshore South America. The operator needed to minimize rig time and costs during a complex test and perforating job in nearly 7,000 ft of water while maintaining service quality and meeting all test objectives.

SLB deployed the Quartet high-performance downhole reservoir testing system, combining isolation, valve control, pressure measurement, and reservoir sampling in a single-trip string. The system simplified operations, handled the acid stimulation and long downhole run reliably, and helped Southeast America Deepwater Company achieve all test objectives while saving an estimated USD 156,000 in rig time and associated costs.
