Global energy technology company SLB has secured a contract from Brunei Shell Petroleum (BSP) to help restore production from shut-in wells across several offshore fields.

Under the agreement, SLB will provide a range of integrated services covering subsurface assessment, well candidate identification, engineering and offshore operations. The scope also includes project management, well intervention, production monitoring, metering and marine logistics, all coordinated through a unified execution model aimed at improving production efficiency.

“Building on our long collaboration in the region, this contract reflects a shared commitment to maximizing value from existing offshore resources,” said Gokhan Yarim, senior vice president of Integration, SLB. “Together with BSP, we are combining SLB’s production expertise and integrated execution capabilities to help restore production from shut-in wells, increase recovery from existing infrastructure and support BSP’s long-term production objectives.”

The project represents the first implementation of SLB’s integrated production restoration solution for BSP. It brings together a range of technical disciplines, services and operational workflows to enhance recovery from mature offshore assets. The programme also follows the principles of Well, Reservoir and Facility Management through coordinated surveillance, engineering and intervention planning, providing a structured framework for improving production while supporting safe and efficient operations.

With operators placing greater emphasis on extracting additional value from existing infrastructure, mature offshore fields continue to offer significant production potential alongside increasingly complex operational challenges. The contract demonstrates the growing focus on integrated approaches that combine engineering expertise, coordinated field execution and production management to improve asset performance and maximise recovery.

Key Points:

• SLB has secured a contract from Brunei Shell Petroleum to restore production from shut-in wells across multiple offshore fields.
• The project is the first deployment of SLB’s integrated production restoration solution for BSP, combining multiple disciplines, services and operational workflows.
• The programme covers well candidate selection, project management, engineering, intervention services, monitoring, metering and marine logistics through a coordinated execution model.
• The contract highlights the industry's increasing focus on integrated production and recovery strategies to enhance the performance of mature offshore assets safely and efficiently.
