ForeSite® Edge

Boosts Production 25%, Eliminates Wellsite Visits 65%, Reduces Failures 15%

Improve well productivity through continuous optimization on 15 reciprocating rod-lift (RRL) wells in an unconventional field with dynamic well behavior.
Improve personnel efficiency and reduce safety and environmental risks by leveraging real-time surveillance and high-frequency data.

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 15 RRL wells, improved production by 25%, reduced failures by 15%, decreased wellsite visits by ~65%, 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 trial, the customer expanded the usage of ForeSite Edge with a development of 2 new ACLs—Inferred Production ACL and Bucking ACL.
