A multinational oil and gas corporation in Nigeria aimed to restore output and gain insights into underlying well issues in its deepwater assets. The wells were experiencing production inefficiencies, which hindered optimal performance. Previous attempts to resolve these issues were unsuccessful, leaving the customer disappointed with the limited improvement in production. SLB was engaged to deploy a suite of advanced technologies and an integrated approach to address these challenges effectively.
SLB technical solutions addressed the customer’s challenges by providing real-time diagnostics and targeted stimulation. The slickline intervention and PLT™ production logging tool enabled precise identification of well issues, while Pulsar™ multifunction spectroscopy service provided detailed insights into fluid dynamics. The stimulation solutions, including CLEAN SWEEP™ damage removal solvent systems, OCA™ organic clay acid stimulation fluid, and foam-based diverters, optimized fluid placement and enhanced production efficiency. This integrated approach resulted in a significant oil production increase of over 6,000 bbl/d across the three wells, demonstrating the capability of SLB to solve complex deepwater challenges through innovative and efficient solutions. The success of this intervention has set a precedent for future deepwater projects, with the customer planning to apply these learnings to additional wells, unlocking further production potential and operational efficiency.
