In 1950, SLB engineers performed their first log in the United Arab Emirates at the Ras Sadr-1 well. We are proud of our shared history with the UAE and our strong commitment to the UAE In-Country Value. We remain dedicated to investing in the country and developing fit-for-purpose technologies tailored to address UAE's reservoir challenges and unlock its full potential.

The main focus is on

  • maximized production of mature fields
  • economic development of unconventional resources
  • sustainable gas production
  • digital enablement.
