SLB Recognized as a Sustainability Leader by SEAL for the Second Consecutive Year

SLB was awarded the Sustainable Service Award for its Celsius Energy system which enables large facilities to reduce their carbon footprint.

Climate action

In addition to decarbonizing our operations and investing in new energy technology ventures, a key part of our strategy to advance sustainability within our industry is developing technologies and services that help our customers reduce their environmental footprint across the exploration and production (E&P) life cycle.

Transition Technologies portfolio

In 2021, we announced our comprehensive 2050 net-zero commitment, inclusive of scope 3 emissions—a first for the energy services sector. We also announced the launch of our Transition Technologies portfolio to address sustainability challenges and opportunities across the oil and gas industry value chain.

The portfolio comprises a select group of products and services that quantifiably reduce our customers’ greenhouse gas emissions while continuing to drive high performance, reliability, and efficiency. Supported by an industry-leading impact quantification framework, the portfolio is set to grow as we embed sustainability further into our R&D processes. It currently addresses five key themes— reduce or eliminate flaring, minimize well construction CO2 footprint, address methane emissions, full field development solutions, and electrification of infrastructure.

Reducing methane and flaring emissions: It’s time to act

Methane emissions and routine flaring significantly impact global warming, but they can be easy to mitigate.

Decreasing emissions in well construction

Drilling Emissions Management is an end-to-end service which aims to help our customers and the wider industry significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions during well construction activities. Leveraging our footprint, domain expertise and innovative technology solutions, this integrated service enables operators to forecast, measure and implement downhole and surface solutions both in the planning phase and during operations to reduce emissions in well construction.

Life cycle sustainability calculator

A key element of our net-zero goal and overall climate ambition is reducing our customers’ greenhouse gas footprint throughout the life cycle of our products and services. To this end, we've developed a life cycle sustainability calculator that quantifies the environmental impact of our portfolio—both current and under development. The goal is to use this understanding to reduce greenhouse gas emissions enabled by our activities.
