SLB services

Manage azimuthal uncertainty for precise well placement. With accurate azimuthal surveys, directional drillers can maximize the efficiency of operations by drilling close to lease lines and landing in smaller targets according to plan. WellDefined services provide lateral survey optimization of real-time measurements and answers that enable this precise well placement and verify the quality of MWD azimuthal measurements.

Carbon dioxide capture and storage projects; With more than 80 years of experience mapping, measuring, and modeling underground rock formations, Schlumberger Carbon Services has been a pioneer in the adaptation of proven technology to address the challenges of storing CO2 underground safely, reliably, and efficiently. Since the mid-1990s, Schlumberger has directed R&D efforts toward this new frontier, investing substantially to innovate, adapt, and patent technologies specifically for use in CO2 storage projects. Schlumberger Carbon Services is now involved in more than 80 carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects around the world. This participation, in many different geological contexts, enables us to address your varied challenges with a detailed understanding.

Beyond direction and inclination data, formation evaluation, and more, MWD services play a key role in driving drilling optimization and efficiency by minimizing invisible lost time and ensuring no ROP limitation occurs while drilling because of data transmission rates.

Timely, accurate information about well status and drilling performance help drill better wells more efficiently. Schlumberger provides formation evaluation and drilling support through Geoservices.

Fast, high-quality data for accurate geosteering and formation evaluation. Increase ROP, improve wellbore stability and hole quality, and optimize well placement and reservoir exposure for maximum production—faster. As the industry leaders in LWD technology, Schlumberger creates advanced LWD services that acquire high-quality data for accurate geosteering and more-informed formation evaluation, so you can work proactively as you drill.

MPD provides a closed-loop circulation system in which pore pressure, formation fracture pressure, and bottomhole pressure are balanced and managed at surface. Drilling fluid is supplemented by surface backpressure, which can be adjusted much faster in response to downhole conditions compared with changing mud weights conventionally. Although it originated as a solution to “undrillable” wells, today, wells of all types can use the technique to manage critical downhole pressures more effectively, leading to improved drilling efficiency and enhanced safety.
