Smart Well
Continuous well surveillance instead of periodic well tests.
Scope
What the engagement covers.
Well performance decisions are often made on data days or weeks old. Smart well surveillance brings continuous measurement, virtual metering and deviation alerting to the production engineer.
Included capabilities
- Downhole and wellhead telemetry acquisition and validation
- Virtual flow metering where physical multiphase metering is uneconomic
- Artificial lift monitoring and optimization for pumped wells
- Deviation detection against expected performance curves
- Well test validation and allocation support
Outputs and deliverables
- Well telemetry architecture and data quality rules
- Calibrated virtual metering models per well
- Deviation alerting configuration
- Production uplift tracking against baseline
Workflow
How it is delivered, step by step.
Each step has an owner, an entry condition and an artefact that has to exist before the next step begins.
01InstrumentWellhead and downhole sensing with data quality validation.
02ModelWell performance and virtual metering models per well type.
03CalibrateFit against physical well tests and known operating states.
04SurveilContinuous deviation detection with engineer alerting.
05OptimizeLift parameter and choke recommendations with measured effect.
Use cases
Where this is typically applied.
Artificial lift populations with recurring failures
Allocation disputes requiring better per-well measurement
Delivery model
The operating pattern for Oil & Gas.
The same delivery discipline applies across every capability in this line, so combined engagements stay coherent.
Assess
Asset criticality, data sources, connectivity gaps and production losses.
Instrument
Telemetry, edge nodes, coverage and data acquisition at the wellsite.
Model
Surveillance logic, twins, GIS layers and analytics tuned to the field.
Operate
Control room workflows, alarms, field mobility and escalation.
Extend
Additional fields, midstream and downstream assets on the same platform.
Integration
- SCADA, DCS and historian layers across upstream and midstream assets.
- ERP, maintenance and logistics systems for work orders and movements.
- Reservoir and production engineering toolchains for model calibration.
- HSE and permit-to-work systems for field workforce safety.
Engagement approach
Work is scoped per asset and per production problem. A single field or pipeline segment proves the telemetry, analytics and operating model before the same pattern is extended.
