ForeSite® Edge Enhances Well Production by 12%, Reduces Site Visits by 50% in an Unconventional Field

Improve well productivity by enhancing production on 3 rod-lift pilot wells in an unconventional field with dynamic well behavior.
Improve personnel efficiency and reduce safety and environmental risk by enabling real-time surveillance and optimization.

Retrofit ForeSite Edge to the existing automation equipment to enable real-time surveillance and control while leveraging the ForeSite production optimization platform.
Once deployed, ForeSite Edge utilized high-frequency data collection to provide key measurements.
Autonomous Control Logics (ACL) developed by Weatherford were implemented to optimize key performance metrics on surface and subsurface to further production optimization opportunities.

ForeSite Edge delivered end-to-end digital capabilities on all 3 pilot wells, improved production by 12%, reduced site visits by 50%, and improved ROI.
ForeSite Edge optimized over-pumping well conditions while maintaining stable production for 90 days (trial period) and improved equipment reliability.
High-frequency surveillance allowed the customer to proactively identify what wells required preventive and corrective maintenance.
Based on the results of the pilots, the customer expanded ForeSite Edge capabilities to all 120 rod-lift wells in the field.
