Electris completions
Proven electric completions leader since 2011. More options, more impact. Confident at its core.
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.
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 more than 140 Electris ICVs installed across multilateral, extended-reach, and offshore wells, Electris completions deliver consistent, predictable performance.
Electris completions are 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. Time and distance are no challenge for Electris completions. Unlock new levels of recovery for reserves near and far, old and new.
Electris completions bring a full suite of advanced capabilities:
- Real-time zonal control via electric ICVs
- Continuous choke actuation for fine flow tuning
- Field-proven increases in reservoir contact, recovery factor, and net present value (NPV)
- Demonstrated reductions in intervention frequency, production variability, and lift energy requirements
- 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 OptiFlow™ production assurance solutions
- Low energy consumption—less than 100 W— and zero hydraulic discharge
This isn’t just automation. It’s production foresight—built to adapt to your well and your reservoir over time.
