ForeSite® Edge Leverages High-Frequency Data and Autonomous Control to Boost Production 38%

Improve well economics on 7 reciprocating rod-lift (RRL) wells in a mature, conventional field by capturing well dynamic conditions using high-frequency data and autonomous control.

Retrofit ForeSite Edge to the existing automation equipment to enable optimization locally at the wellsite while leveraging the ForeSite production optimization platform.
Once deployed, ForeSite Edge utilized high-frequency data collection in real-time to provide key measurements.
Autonomous control logics (ACL) developed by Weatherford for standard operating rod-lift wells were implemented to optimize key performance operating parameters to further enhance production optimization opportunities.

ForeSite Edge delivered end-to-end digital capabilities on all 7 RRL wells, increased production by 38%, and improved ROI during the pilot period.
By recognizing new patterns through the insights gained from utilizing high-frequency data collection, the customer was able to gain a deeper understanding of well behaviors, aiding in future decision-making regarding the wells.
After the success of the pilot period, the customer advanced to the next phase of expansion by deploying ForeSite Edge on 200 wells.
