Electris Completions
Proven electric completions. More options, more impact. Confident at its core.
Challenge
Energy producers today face a growing mandate: unlock new production while lowering emissions and operational complexity.
The pressure to do more with less—less intervention, less surface infrastructure, less downtime—has never been greater.
Meanwhile, conventional hydraulic completions come with limitations: rigid architecture, complex installations, high intervention costs, and limited control over zonal performance. Multizone, multilateral, and mature field challenges are pushing conventional systems past their limits. Operators need a smarter, more responsive approach. One that delivers real-time zonal control, production optimization, and longer well life—without the tradeoffs of conventional systems.
Solution
Electris™ completions from SLB are proven yet pioneering the future of intelligent well systems.
This electric solution empowers operators to predict, adapt, and act with confidence—throughout the life of the well. Electris completions eliminate hydraulic lines in favor of a fully electric architecture. A single electric line powers multiple interval control valves (ICVs) and permanent downhole gauges, enabling two-way digital communication, continuous zonal control, and simplified installation—all through a smaller, leaner footprint.
From initial deployment to decades of operation, Electris completions reduce risk, limit interventions, and accelerate time to production—while unlocking previously unreachable reserves across onshore, offshore, and deepwater fields.

Completions you can rely onwith over 120 Electris™ ICVs installed and operating.
The original. SLB installed the world’s first electric ICV with a continuous choke in 2012—and we’ve been advancing the technology ever since.
Completions you can rely on. With more than 120 ICVs installed across multilateral, extended-reach, and offshore wells, Electris completions deliver consistent, predictable performance.
Electris is ready for you. This is not a niche solution. It’s a field-ready, cost-effective option available to everyone—designed to bring real-time production intelligence to the mainstream.
More options, more impact. Electris completions are highly adaptable, supporting applications from single-zone onshore horizontal wells to complex offshore multilaterals—with zonal precision that evolves as your reservoir does.
Maximize uptime, minimize interventions. With real-time control and electric actuation, you can avoid shut-ins and workovers, reduce operational expenditure, and keep production flowing reliably.
Unreachable reserves, unlocked. Gain precise control of laterals, compartments, zones, and entire reservoirs previously beyond reach—while tuning drawdown and reducing water or gas breakthrough.
Precise predictable performance
Electris completions bring a full suite of advanced capabilities:
- Real-time zonal control via electric ICVs
- Continuous choke actuation for fine flow tuning
- Digital two-way communication for diagnostics and control
- Permanent downhole gauges for continuous reservoir surveillance
