As a result, the InterACT systemnot only has a significant impact onthe time and cost of wireline opera-tions, it also helps reduce safety andenvironmental concerns.

Well completionsWell stimulation services

Applying knowledge and resourcesto specific reservoir issues is indis-

pensable to meeting local challenges ,increasing efficiency, and reducingcosts. Global resources, conveyedusing information technology, pro-

vide a critical link in optimized stim-ulation services. Today, specialists

can monitor real-time data andsupervise critical well stimulation

jobs, compare actual in situ testswith the predicted design, and opti-mize the treatment as it is executed.The result is an improved and seam-less decision-making process thatcan help ensure the best possibleresults.

The InterACT system connectsexperts from multiple locations toremote job sites anywhere in theworld. Specialists can collaboratein real time to leverage and focusglobal resources on the job as it

is executed. When used with theFracCAT* fracture treatment systemand FracCADE* fracture design andevaluation software, the InterACTsystem makes stimulation data available for display on an embed-ded graphical and numeric display.

A wide range of treatment parame-ters can be displayed, including a

pressure-rate-density plot and a Nolte-Smith plot. Combining thesesystems provides a powerful

platform for seamless operation of the PowerSTIM* well optimization

service. PowerSTIM service inte-grates Schlumberger petrophysicalexpertise and reservoir knowledgewith completion design, execution,and evaluation to provide a produc-tion optimization solution.

In addition, the InterACT systemcan transmit HFM* HydraulicFracture Monitoring data to provideinformation to calculate complexfracture geometry after a stimula-tion treatment. This informationassists in the advanced evaluationof hydraulic fracture treatments.

Cementing

Correctly interpreting critical off-shore cementing data can mean thedifference between either continueddrilling or days of remedial work.Today, offsite specialists can moni-tor real-time data, supervise criticaloperationssuch as cementingsqueeze jobs, subsea blowout pre-

venter tests, leakoff tests, and forma-tion integrity testsand compare theactual results of the operation to the

predicted design. The result is a bet-ter decision-making process that canhelp ensure the best possible resultsfor the well.

Well testing

Secure monitoring of well testingoperations via the Internet has a significant impact on planning andexecuting well testing operations.Regardless of location, the InterACTsystem allows offsite expertise, notnormally available at the wellsite, tobe focused on a well test, so informeddecisions can be made and imple-mented in a timely manner. With allthe pertinent well testing data andreports available, offsite experts canmodify and optimize well test pro-grams, while they are being run, togreatly improve results.

Remote, real-time capability isoften critical when new technologyis used. Collaboration with remoteexperts can help extract maximum

value and ensure the testing techno-logy delivers its full potential. Theresults are better well-testing deci-sions and cost reductions, especiallyin high-cost environments such asdeepwater or multizone drillstemtesting.

Well testing data, transmitted fromthe wellsite, are accessible by com-

puters using the graphical and digital viewers embedded in the InterACTsystem. Wellsite comments describing

the critical operational events (thetesting events log) can be super-imposed over the graphic viewer tofacilitate a common understandingfor all who are observing the jobregardless of their location. In addi-tion, a chat feature is included tofacilitate real-time collaboration.

At anytime during or after the test,data can be downloaded andimported into exploration and pro-duction software tools for further analysis. The results and reportsare posted back into the InterACTsystem, which allows Schlumberger DCS experts to provide relevantinterpretation in collaboration withoperator personnel.

Production

Monitoring and surveillance of production enable marked improve-ments in well productivity. Using theInterACT system to deliver real-time

production data enables a family of production related workflows. TheProductionWatcher* real-time remotesurveillance of producing assets usesthe InterACT system to transmit rele-

vant data from the wellsite and theninterprets pressure transient eventsor updates the reservoir simulationmodel from the data .

Engineers from multiple locations can participate in stimulation and cementing operations using the InterACT system.

Well testing data are available in the office when and where needed.
