Centro digital well delivery data platform introduced by Weatherford

Weatherford International has rolled out a seamless digital data platform Centro to manage complex well delivery operations.

The seamless integration of all elements from an operator’s well data enables personnel from any global location to access, share and store potential project information.

Weatherford said that Centro makes consolidated data available in real-time. This enables enhanced domain viewing and live analytics during well delivery operations.

The solution combines data management, visualisation and real-time engineering technologies. This gives a single engineer the analytical capacity of an entire team.

Weatherford International drilling and evaluation president Etienne Roux said: “For decades, the oil and gas industry has demanded a holistic approach to managing complex well site operations digitally.

“Centro answers that challenge. By giving operators every piece of mission-critical data all in one place Centro is an outstanding solution for oilfield data technology management and a key achievement on our industry’s digital transformation journey.”

The data platform monitors multiple wells simultaneously using a single interactive interface. Its visualisation feature allows advanced two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) renderings.

According to Weatherford, the system helps prevent downhole hazards and tool failures through continuous real-time updates of dynamic hydraulics and vibration models.

Through the automation of hundreds of calculations and tasks, the platform optimises well operational performance and productivity.

In January, Weatherford introduced an enhancement to the ForeSite production optimisation platform, expanding predictive failure analytics to electric submersible pumping systems.
