Applications

• Deployment of lower and intermediate completions equipped with permanent monitoring gauges and interval (flow) control valves but without electric and hydraulic connections to surface
• Any well profile, including extended-reach and multilateral wells
• Completion inclination and orientation monitoring

Benefits

• Derisk completion deployment via timely detection of any integrity issues with electric or hydraulic completion equipment and chemical injection lines
• Save rig time and reduce costs by eliminating the need for dedicated runs with wired drillpipe or cable clamped to standard drillpipe to verify the integrity of installed Electris™ completions equipment

Features

• Passive pressure compensation and monitoring of chemical injection and hydraulic lines during deployment
• Sufficient battery power for several weeks of monitoring 
• Built-in angle and orientation sensors
• Onboard data storage of full deployment data
• Modular design that enables integration with multiple completion configurations and service tools

How it improves and derisks completion deployments

The Electris wireless running tool (WRT) is designed for multitrip completions where downhole tools are deployed “blind” on drillpipe with no electric or hydraulic lines to surface. It empowers operators to wirelessly monitor and control lower and intermediate completion equipment at all stages of deployment for faster and better decision making and optimized operations. Assuring confidence in the integrity of electric and hydraulic equipment as well as electric, hydraulic, and chemical injection lines is critical to the long-term reliability of installed completions.

Save time and reduce costs

An increasing number of interval control valves (ICVs) and permanent monitoring gauges are being installed in the lower or intermediate completion. In many cases, this highly valuable equipment is deployed without monitoring the system's integrity. Only when the upper completion is landed—many days or weeks later—and electric and hydraulic connection to surface is established, can the equipment functionality be confirmed. If an ICV in the lower completion is found nonoperational at this stage, resolving the situation is complicated at best.

Other options for confirming equipment health are making a verification run with wired drillpipe or cable clamped to standard drillpipe after the lower completion is installed. Both alternatives increase costs and rig flat time, and are consequently unattractive.

The Electris WRT connects to the electric and hydraulic lines in the lower completion and transmits data from downhole tools in real time, either on request or automatically when certain parameters are triggered. As a result, you can have confidence in the integrity of the installed system, or take remedial action in a timely manner without spending multiple rig days to diagnose and resolve any issues.

When combined with the Electris WRT, electric downhole equipment streamlines completion deployment. You can now avoid use of inner strings (washpipes), ball drop, and more. Instead, you can circulate or set packers by effortlessly opening and closing Electris ICVs installed in the lower completion.
