Highlighting Heavy Oil
(2.1 MB PDF)
With the decline in production of conventional oils and the need to replenish reserves, oil companies are increasingly interested in heavy oil.

Technology lies at the heart of Schlumberger, and technology is the reason our industry is satisfying the world's energy needs in a cost-effective, safe, and environmentally responsible manner. Our three-pronged strategy is to continue our leadership in developing cutting-edge technology for the complex reservoir environments of the future; to create the digital technology needed to automate the oilfield of tomorrow; and to lead the development of fit-for-purpose, cost-effective technology for the mature field production that dominates the industry today.
-
Carbonate Reservoirs
Carbonate reservoirs contain more than 60% of the world's remaining oil. Yet, the very nature of the rock makes these reservoirs unpredictable. Formations are heterogeneous, with irregular flow paths and circulation traps. Success depends on the right combination of technologies.
-
Deep Water
Schlumberger combines innovations in technology with global management expertise and technical experience to bring these fields online faster, with a better long-term production outlook.
-
Heavy Oil
Heavy oil deposits around the world share only one characteristic: they are challenging to produce. Beyond that, every reservoir requires a different set of technologies and methodologies to overcome the technical challenges in a cost effective way.
-
Unconventional Gas
Better reservoir knowledge and increasingly sensitive technologies are making the production of unconventional gas economically viable, and more efficient. This efficiency is bringing tight gas, coalbed methane and gas hydrates into the reach of more companies around the world.
