Smart well completion and mission-driven artificial lift intelligent systemsPRODUCTION | CASE STUDY Saudi Aramco Challenge Solution Impact Khurais Producing Oil Field, operated by Saudi Aramco, is a large-scale onshore asset with complex production operations. The scale of assets and wells required improved production efficiency, reduced equipment downtime and enhanced asset reliability to support sustainable, high-volume operations.A smart well completion and mission-driven artificial lift solution was implemented using industrial IoT, advanced analytics and machine learning. More than 95,000 connected devices enabled real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance and automated control of downhole and surface assets. Advanced analytics supported remote operations, proactive decision- making and continuous optimization of production performance across the field.The solution transformed production operations by improving efficiency, reliability and decision-making at scale, delivering measurable gains in output and asset performance, including: –15% increase in oil production –5% reduction in production losses –80% improvement in equipment reliability. Khurais oilfield’s digital transformation is indicative of how Aramco is successfully harnessing disruptive technology to reinvent upstream operations; rendering our business future-fit and our production activities smarter, safer, more cost-effective and more sustainable.
