Optimize production in complex reservoirs 

Heterogeneous reservoirs pose challenges for operators as they struggle to maximize production from each zone. Operators must maintain fluid flow across rock properties such as permeability and porosity that vary across different zones. Additionally, they must accurately characterize these reservoirs, improve resource recovery, and avoid water and gas breakthrough.

With an expansive portfolio of solutions that cover every phase of the completions process, Halliburton’s intelligent completions provide operators with precise control and monitoring to optimize production across the entire wellbore. Operators can adjust flow rates in real-time, which improves overall reservoir performance and recovery. Real-time data collection and monitoring help operators gain deeper reservoir behavior insights. Variable setting valves improve recovery with sequential production schemes or commingled production enablement.  

Intelligent completions allow operators to remotely control and isolate problem zones, which helps manage water and gas influx. In turn, operators can extend the life of the well, reduce the need for costly well interventions, and increase recovery.

Maintain well integrity and bolster safety

Operators must control well pressure to prevent blowouts, wellbore collapse, or other safety hazards. However, the process of fluid extraction creates pressure fluctuations. These become even more pronounced as the various rock properties in complex wells lead to uneven fluid flow and pressure distribution. 

Our well completion design incorporates advanced pressure management systems and intelligent completions that allow operators to continuously monitor and control wellbore conditions. Advanced monitoring capabilities allow operators to detect small changes in well conditions, such as scale buildup, and act quickly. The ability to configure wells remotely helps avoid the need for well interventions. This saves time and costs associated with workover operations.

Protect equipment from sand damage

Sand production in reservoirs causes erosion, clogs, and damage to well equipment. Halliburton provides comprehensive sand control solutions as part of our well completion process. This includes advanced completion tools and technologies designed to mitigate sand production. These tools enable real-time data collection and analysis. When operators detect excessive water or sand, they can shut in problematic zones.

Specialized downhole equipment includes gravel pack packers and screens. Inflow control devices help delay and reduce the flow of unwanted fluids and protect the integrity of the wellbore.

Increase operational efficiency and reduce costs with intelligent completions

Operators need to minimize rig time and operational costs while maximizing well performance. As oil and gas markets fluctuate, they require the ability to manage costs associated with exploration, drilling, production, and infrastructure development.

Halliburton’s intelligent completions and advanced well completion designs improve operational efficiency through the enablement of simultaneous operations. This reduces rig time and optimizes how operators utilize resources, which leads to significant cost savings and improved profitability.

Refine data management and decision-making

Throughout production, operators need access to accurate, real-time data to make informed decisions about well operations. They need the ability to respond quickly to well integrity issues or risks to help avoid production issues and cost increases.

Halliburton’s intelligent completion solutions provide real-time data insights, automation, and remote connectivity. Operators glean actionable insights from the data to optimize well performance and production and streamline work processes.

Improve efficiency, safety, and performance through superior service quality

Consistent service quality in well completions is crucial. Without it, operational inefficiencies, safety risks, and poor well performance can arise. Additionally, the likelihood of breakdowns, downtime, and costly delays increases, along with potential safety hazards like compromised well integrity.

In addition to the largest portfolio of solutions to meet a variety of completions requirements, Halliburton adheres to the highest standards for service quality. Our approach includes:

  • Experienced personnel and cohesive teams with extensive training and real-world experience to execute completions operations
  • Rigorous inspection, testing, and certification practices for equipment and materials to minimize the risk of failures or non-conformance
  • Close collaboration with operators to design customized completion strategies for specific reservoir challenges
  • Strict safety protocols to minimize risk and ensure reliable operations
  • Advanced technologies like real-time data monitoring and engineered solutions to maximize production and reduce intervention-associated downtime and costs
