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 on
with over 120 Electris™ IVCs 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
Modular design with contactless wet-mate connectors
Streamlined and confident installation with fewer control lines, reduced surface equipment and optional wireless running tools for multitrip completions
Production intelligence integrated with SLB’s OptiFlow production assurance solutions
Low-energy consumption—less than 100 watts— and zero hydraulic discharge

This isn’t just automation. It’s production foresight—built to adapt to your well and your reservoir over time.

More options, more impact

Electris completions are part of a broader SLB solution portfolio that’s ready for integration and scale:

Multizone and single-zone deployments
Horizontal and compartmentalized completions
Multilateral wells with in-lateral control
Brownfield redevelopment and retrofit tiebacks
Integration with SLB’s OptiFlow production assurance solutions for full digital orchestration that moves you from real-time to ahead of time
Surface and subsea compatibility, including future-ready all-electric systems from SLB OneSubsea

Whether you’re targeting greenfield developments or extending the life of existing infrastructure, Electris completions offer unmatched flexibility and field-proven performance.

Single-trip completions

For multilayered reservoirs requiring multizone independent monitoring and control

Multilateral completions

Conventional junction control in wells with multiple branches or in-lateral monitoring and control with an Electris completion

Extended-Reach completions

For wells with extended (or extreme) reach, where multiple reservoir takeoff points require active monitoring and control

Multitrip completions

For wells with multilayered reservoirs where conditions, such as heterogeneous pressure gradients, preclude single-trip deployment

No challenge too great

Electris completions have been deployed globally across some of the industry’s most demanding environments:

15-km extended-reach wells
Multilateral trilaterals with in-lateral control
Onshore, Offshore Dry Tree and Deepwater fields in collaboration with operators the world over
Over 120 ICVs installed, with thousands of actuation cycles and years of reliable service
Demonstrated reductions in intervention frequency, production variability, and lift energy requirements
Field-proven increases in reservoir contact, recovery factor, and net present value
