Intelligent Production Systems

Baker Hughes Intelligent Production Systems (IPS) is the leading global provider of technically advanced, value-adding production optimization products and services that help operators accelerate production, increase ultimate recovery and reduce total cost of ownership. Our world-class intelligent optimization systems enable operators to collect and monitor downhole data, remotely control reservoir zones and optimize reservoir efficiency.

Several components make up the intelligent wellbore:

• Well monitoring instrumentation measures pressures, temperatures, flow rates, water-cut and density in the well-bore with both electronic and fiber optic gauges.
• Intelligent completion technologies, such as zonally isolated, hydraulically adjustable valves and chokes, allow for the adjustment of product inflow from any zone, without well intervention.
• Our SENTRYNET chemical-automation technology facilitates asset tracking and inventory management through web-based surveillance, and optimizes chemical treatment through proportional-feed chemical controllers.

The IPS portfolio of reservoir surveillance and control technology, combined with our production and completion expertise, forms the foundation for production optimization and ultimate reservoir recovery.

The permanent monitoring technology and production optimization services provided by IPS include:

• IWS - An intelligent well allows for monitoring and selective control of oil production, gas production, water injection or gas injection with the ability to remotely change the flow profile from/to individual zones without the need for intervention.

 

• Well Monitoring - Well Monitoring is now a global leader in electronic and fiber optic permanent well monitoring, deepwater chemical injection and multi-line spooling services.

• Chemical Automation - Baker Hughes Chemical Automation SENTRYNET™ products automate chemical and production management at remote oil and gas production facilities, including unmanned satellite platforms, remote well locations and pipelines.
