Schlumberger-Doll Research Center


The search for oil and gas has three objectives: to identify and evaluate hydrocarbon-bearing reservoirs; to bring hydrocarbons to the surface safely and cost-effectively,without harming the environment; and to maximize the yield from each discovery. These objectives can be advanced only by ongoing research into all aspects of the exploration, drilling, completion, and production processes.

Schlumberger has an unwavering long-term commitment to Research and Development (R&D) demonstrated through its global network of R&D centers.

Two main research centers are engaged in oilfield research. Since 1981, Schlumberger Cambridge Research in Cambridge, England, has developed new concepts and techniques that have helped oil and gas companies find and produce hydrocarbons. Schlumberger-Doll Research, which relocated to Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA, in 2006, has been a center of excellence for oilfield research since the 1940s.

Schlumberger also has several research satellites at strategic locations around the world. They are located in Dhahran, Moscow, and Stavanger.

Our research is often conducted in partnership with universities and customers around the world. This ensures close contact with leading-edge research in all relevant disciplines, improves understanding of clients' challenges, and facilitates validation of research ideas in field experiments at an early stage in the product development cycle.
