Petrobras has let a multiyear, fully integrated completions-systems contract to Baker Hughes for the operator’s deepwater developments.
Intelligent completions technologies, combined with conventional upper- and lower-completions solutions, will provide remote operations capabilities and multizone control, limiting water and gas breakthroughs and reducing the risk of any costly interventions.
Through this agreement, Petrobras will utilize Baker Hughes’ new interval control valve (ICV), which provides enhanced reliability in the high flowrates of Petrobras’ offshore fields. This technology was developed to allow the operator to respond remotely to evolving well conditions across multiple zones in real time.
Petrobras will also deploy Baker Hughes’ downhole gauges, annulus-monitoring system, chemical-injection system, flow-control system, barrier valves, a gas lift system, subsurface safety valves, packers, screens, and gravel pack system.
