Region - Permian Basin

Challenge

Customers incurred extensive costs sending technicians to locations for operational changes.

  •  Wells in the West Texas Permian Basin are often remotely located
  • Excessive miles driven to manage ESP production hurts safety and the environment
  • Well conditions can change more quickly than reasonably managed by offsite personnel

Solution

Intelevate application engineers and the customer met weekly to evaluate each unit and collaborate on an optimization plan. 

In this case, amp swings were minimized to less than ten amps through remote changes and field technicians were sent out only when necessary for more complex issues. or troubleshooting

Result

  • +60% run life increase from 103 to 169 days 
  • 50 technician visits per month eliminated
  • Saving the customer $35,000 in monthly operating expense

Overview

A customer uses Halliburton's Intelevate service to remotely optimize roughly one-third of their Permian Basin ESP operations in New Mexico and Texas.

Challenge

In-person management of remotely located electric submersible pump (ESP) operations is expensive and inefficient. Remote optimization eliminates the potential risk of injury a field technician is exposed to when traveling to and when at the wellsite. Further, remote optimization eliminates the environmental impact of vehicular travel to the wellsite. 

Before Intelevate, the customer incurred extensive costs sending people to locations for operational changes. ESP average run life was still unsatisfactory, and broken shafts frequently occurred due to excessive amp swings.

Solution

Intelevate monitoring, coupled with engineering support, is an excellent, cost-efficient alternative to relying solely on field service personnel. Intelevate Application Engineers and the customer met weekly to evaluate each unit and collaborate on an optimization plan. In this case, amp swings were minimized to less than ten amps through remote changes, and field techs were sent out only when necessary for more complex issues or troubleshooting.

Result

Average run life increased by +60% from 103 days to 169 days. Technician visits dropped by approximately 50 per month, for monthly savings to the customer of around $35,000.
