OTC 2025: SLB's new electric well completions technologies designed to offer better control and diagnostics

May 8, 2025
SLB has released its Electris portfolio of digitally enabled electric well completions technologies.
SLB released its Electris portfolio of digitally enabled electric well completions technologies on May 6 at the Offshore Technology Conference (OTC) in Houston.
 
The technologies are designed to boost production and recovery while reducing the total cost of ownership of an asset, according to the company.
 
Electris completions digitalize control of the entire productive area of the wellbore, providing real-time production intelligence across the reservoir. SLB says this enables operators to predict, adapt and act with confidence in response to dynamic production conditions — improving reservoir management over the life of the well and accessing reserves that conventional systems leave behind.
 
There have been more than 100 installations of Electris completions technologies across five countries.
 
In Norway, Electris completions were deployed offshore to enhance oil production in an extended-reach well. The operator is using intelligence from the system to determine which zones are contributing to production to optimize oil output and minimize produced water. Controlling water production with Electris completions has decreased the energy needed to lift and then pump treated water back into the reservoir.
