24/7 energy—ready to be tapped

It’s projected that by 2050, two‐thirds of total energy supply will come from wind, solar, bioenergy, hydroenergy, and geothermal.* Of these, geothermal energy—the heat beneath our feet—is the only resource virtually unaffected by available land, weather, and seasons. That's continuous, reliable energy. But for it to be a viable and accessible energy solution at scale, technology innovation and sound knowledge of Earth's subsurface, both shallow and deep, is key.

We can help.

Full steam ahead toward reliable energy

SLB uses innovative science, engineering, and know-how to deliver geothermal energy solutions worldwide—all by leveraging Earth's natural heat, either near the surface or miles deep underground. These solutions range in application, from heating and cooling buildings to power generation, and more. And with a focus on energy sustainability, localization, and security, geothermal energy is a reliable solution to balance emissions reduction goals with energy access and security.

We have 50 years of experience advising the geothermal power industry, with involvement in 80% of all operating projects worldwide.
Our technology for heating and cooling buildings reduces operational costs by up to 40% while reducing greenhouse gas emissions by up to 90%.
We have decades of experience constructing and producing from geothermal wells, leveraging digital and advanced tech to reduce risk and improve ROI.
Why SLB for geothermal energy?
We have a long history in understanding Earth's subsurface, in innovating technology, and advising the geothermal industry. We leverage this expertise to deliver geothermal solutions that are affordable, local, and reliable, with small surface footprints.
