Halliburton introduces Auto Pumpdown service for unconventional completions operations
Halliburton Co. has announced the implementation of the Auto Pumpdown service within Halliburton’s hydraulic fracturing business. The Auto Pumpdown service enables wireline and pump automation during unconventional completions operations.
The Auto Pumpdown service controls fluid pumps and a wireline unit as a single, fully automated, closed-loop system to maximize Halliburton’s plug and perforating performance and efficiency. The system executes operations to plan and optimizes equipment operation for improved consistency.
The Auto Pumpdown service enhances operations by automating tasks previously prone to human inconsistencies. The service reduces risk by providing prompt feedback to dynamic downhole conditions, which helps prevent unplanned and costly interventions. These improved consistencies create more efficient operations and reduce required fluids for tool conveyance.
Multiple perforating crews in North America currently use Auto Pumpdown service; it has demonstrated improved operating efficiencies, reduced fluid requirements, and reduced risk of unnecessary well interventions.
