SLB Launches Electrical Control System for Coiled Tubing Operations

07:19 AM EDT, 08/24/2026 (MT Newswires) -- SLB (SLB) said Monday it launched the ExaCT electrical downhole coiled tubing control system, designed to provide real-time electrical control, communication and telemetry during well interventions. The company said the system replaces pressure-dependent hydraulic actuation with electrical control and supports multiple services in a single run, including logging, stimulation, isolation and shifting operations. Continuous communication with the toolstring also allows operators to monitor downhole conditions and adjust interventions in real time, SLB said. SLB said field deployments have reduced intervention time by up to 30% and fluid consumption by 20%.
