The Partnership Established Between Halliburton and the Consortium Foresees the Development of a System in the Mero Field in the Santos Basin
The promising scenario of the oil and gas sector at the end of 2023 gains a bright star with the recent partnership between Halliburton and the Libra consortium, led by Petrobras. The contract announced on Monday (11) reveals that Halliburton will be responsible for developing an innovative digital twin for a crucial system in the Mero field, located in the pre-salt of the Santos Basin, according to Petronoticias.
This collaboration in the Mero field, in the Santos Basin, promises to radically transform the traditional approach, aiming to reduce capital expenditures, accelerate production times, and enhance the crude oil recovery rate.
Vision Beyond Time: The Revolution of the Digital Twin in the Mero Field in the Santos Basin
The digital twin, an emerging technology, will be an integrated and dynamic system, encompassing reservoir, wells and underwater network in the Mero Field. By gathering real-time data, sensors, and asset models, including 4D seismic and smart completions, Halliburton and the consortium will create a comprehensive and proactive view of the reservoir, wells, and facilities.
