The company has already been mobilizing since the beginning of the year for drilling operations in the onshore wells of Campo de Azulão. This is another step taken by SLB in the Amazon Basin exploration campaign for the year 2023.
Aiming at the progress of its exploration campaign in the Amazon Basin region in 2023, SLB, formerly Schlumberger, is preparing to begin drilling activities in new onshore wells in Campo de Azulão. In the last four years alone, it has already drilled four wells in the region, but intends to expand the numbers in 2023. By the end of 2024, at least 16 more structures will undergo the company's process.

The company, which has already drilled a total of 10 wells located in Campo de Azulão in the last four years alone, is getting ready for another stage of the initiative. By the end of 2024, another 16 wells will undergo the drilling process in the company's campaign.
Since the first quarter of the year, the company has been mobilizing equipment to start drilling operations in the structures.
SLB manager Andre Moroz highlighted the company's interest in seeking new fuel reserves in the Amazon Basin.
“The construction of these wells encountered technical challenges, such as drilling amid loss of circulation and problems with tool breakage due to geological conditions that are more severe than others found in Brazil. Over time, there have been significant improvements in drilling times due to the application of best practices, lessons learned and utilization of new technologies,” he said.
The company has been standing out in the use of new technologies and equipment of modernization for drilling activities in national wells.
For the new well drilling campaign in Campo de Azulão in 2023, SLB is preparing to modernize operations with optidrill + synapse technology
Campo de Azulão is currently operated by the company eneva. SLB operates in the region in the construction of wells, mainly the 3-phase monobore type, a technology consolidated by Eneva.
In this way, it aims to deliver the best results and efficiency in the drilling operations of wells in the area.
For the next few months, the company will provide integrated services, including directional, drills, drilling fluids, open-hole and cased-hole logging, cementing and perforating.
In addition, SLB intends to expand the modernization of its activities in the region of the Amazon Basin for its 2023 campaign with the adoption of optidrill + synapse technology.
This is a technology that allows for greater control over drilling information in hostile environments.
“We are using the most modern equipment available at SLB, which will bring us enormous gains in productivity”, stated Moroz.
In this way, SLB invests even more in technology and innovation to make its onshore well drilling campaign in Campo de Azulão even more efficient.
