Halliburton launches Volta all-electric control system

Halliburton has launched the Volta all-electric control system, part of SmartWell intelligent completions portfolio, which delivers intelligent completion, zonal control and real-time reservoir management for optimal performance

The system allows operators to execute continuous reservoir monitoring and gain critical insights to improve well performance, thereby increasing well output, and avoiding deferred production through reduced recovery time from planned or unplanned shut-ins. The integration of Clariti® digital reservoir management suite identifies opportunities to further optimise well performance.

The Volta all-electric control system architecture helps deliver maximum resolution and faster zonal control, which supports a wide range of well types and completion applications. The standardised configuration provides multi-zone flexibility, making it easier to adapt to changing reservoir conditions.

Its mono-conductor, single-line design eliminates hydraulics to streamline deployment and minimise operational risk, helping operators reduce complexity, lower emissions, and improve operational efficiency across multi-zone wells. The modularity of the Volta all-electric control valve improves flexibility and reduces inventory. Pre-installation preparation of system sub-assemblies accelerates execution and supports consistent service quality.

The Volta all-electric control system combines advanced hardware with intelligent software to transform well completions into a fully integrated, digital process. This gives operators real-time, precise, bidirectional control to make faster, better-informed decisions, optimise production strategies, and maintain consistent performance in varying reservoir and wellbore conditions.

“As the company who introduced SmartWell® intelligent completions to the industry, the Volta all-electric control system represents a breakthrough in intelligent completions technology,” said Maxime Coffin, vice president, Halliburton Completion Tools.

“With EcoStarsafety valves, we are now the first to propose a fully electric completion to the industry. Its all-electric architecture reflects Halliburton’s focus on technology leadership, engineering excellence, and technical expertise in completion design and execution. It provides operators with a greater degree of precision, response speed, and improved efficiency to help maximise value throughout the life of the well.”
