Deepwater Operations—Our Continuing Commitment
Deep waters are among the most important and challenging exploration and production (E&P) frontiers today, the success of which offers a unique opportunity for adding significantly to the world’s proven oil reserves. As the searches expand to deeper waters, they reveal ever more technically and economically challenging environments, many of them frontier, with minimal local support infrastructure.
Success in these complex and challenging environments demand advanced and proven technology to identify promising reservoirs and maximize their potential. In addition, robust processes for planning, integrating, and executing operations effectively and optimally are required. To successfully fulfill both of these requirements, experienced, well-trained personnel are needed who know how to achieve project goals.
Schlumberger, with its unique mix of global presence, deepwater experience, and technology breadth, has the necessary expertise, structure, and services to deliver the required deepwater solutions. From prospect identification to well construction and onto production, we drill, evaluate and complete deepwater reservoirs around the world, accurately and efficiently.
We firmly believe that a comprehensive approach is the best way to overcome project complexities, increase reservoir knowledge, and reduce time to first oil. This attitude is reflected in our deepwater operations strategy, which comprises people, processes, and technologies to
- maintain safety
- deliver first oil quickly
- improve efficiency
- reduce downtime
- optimize production
Reliable access to experienced people cuts downtime and optimizes resources.
Specialized services address the complexities of deepwater projects, focus on QHSE, reduce time to first oil, and increase reservoir knowledge.
Important advantages are gained by the integration of deepwater processes and support delivered by a worldwide team.
