Advanced Lifting Services

Optimization of Lift Systems, Wells, and Reservoirs

Advanced Lifting Services provides detailed analyses and recommendations that can help you increase flow and maximize reservoir performance.

Detailed analysis

When a surveillance engineer identifies a well for optimization, reservoir and production engineers from Schlumberger Data & Consulting Services (DCS) provide detailed analyses of equipment and production system behavior, from reservoir performance to surface facility operations.

Diagnosis and recommendation

DCS engineers combine their artificial lift, completion, and testing expertise with advanced diagnostic tools, such as pressure-transient analysis software, to diagnose problems, predict resulting performance benefits, and recommend corrective actions.

PTA tracks evolution of flow capacity and skin

On the basis of a DCS-recommended pressure-transient analysis for a well with early water breakthrough, the operator used a remedial treatment that reduced the skin from 15 to 5 and increased the productivity index by 1.8 bbl/d/psi. Read case study

 

Optimization results

Implementing the DCS team's recommendations can help you
  • optimize well test duration
  • identify and maintain constant drawdown pressures
  • eliminate deferred oil production
  • identify potential production problems early
  • sustain production increases
  • increase ultimate recovery.
