The annual Gulf Energy Information Excellence Awards celebrate groundbreaking innovations and technological advancements in the energy industry.

There were nearly 500 nominations this year, resulting in close to 200 finalists, with honorees receiving awards in 29 categories.

SLB innovations were recognized as 2025 winners in five categories:

Best Deepwater Technology
Well Radar™ ranging and interception services ensure precise well placement for maximized recovery across a spectrum of critical applications. These services leverage advanced technologies and extensive expertise in drilling and surveying to meet the needs of the most demanding projects. This service is a key enabler for both traditional and emerging energy projects, including brownfield redevelopment, P&A, geothermal wells, and CCS.

Best Drilling Technology
Stream™ high-speed intelligent telemetry provides real-time downhole data at any depth to enhance drilling performance. This automated telemetry adapts to changing drilling environments, delivering optimal telemetry at high data speeds for improved reservoir insights or any subsurface data at higher ROP.

Best Exploration Technology
OnWave™ Autonomous Logging Platform is a first-of-its-kind technology autonomously that acquires multiple, high-fidelity measurements downhole, without the need of a wireline unit, and wireline cable. The OnWave platform’s cable-free design takes less than half the time to deploy compared with conventional wireline platforms, while enabling drill pipe rotation and mud circulation during logging operations, to enhance well safety and minimize stuck pipe events.

Best Oilfield Fluids and Chemicals
OpenPath Flex™ customizable acid stimulation service optimizes stimulation performance and operational efficiency in even the most challenging carbonate reservoirs. The service maximizes treatment efficiency, flowback performance, and well production — all while improving resource utilization and environmental impact.

Excellence in Corporate Culture
