Cable Protection During High-Pressure Stimulation Jobs
An independent operator in the Permian Basin was developing a series of horizontal shale wells utilizing Electric Submersible Pumps (ESP) and fiber optic sensing lines for real-time well monitoring. However, during multi-stage hydraulic fracturing, the operator experienced repeated failures of downhole cables.
Optimizing Cable Protection and Well Integrity in Deviated Wells
An oil company operating in a mature offshore field faced increasing intervention and completion challenges in deviated wells. The use of Electric Submersible Pumps (ESP) was necessary to maintain production, but the high deviation and rough wellbore conditions were damaging ESP cables, leading to costly failures and production downtime.
Hydraulic fracturing in horizontal wells is a standard practice in unconventional oil and gas reservoirs to maximize hydrocarbon recovery. As operators increasingly integrate Electric Submersible Pumps (ESP) and fiber optic monitoring lines into these completions, the complexity and risk associated with downhole cable installations have grown significantly.
