Automated Lithology

You can learn a lot from your rock.

But to get a full picture of your reservoir you’ll need more… SLB has combined state-of-the-art, proprietary high-definition imaging with AI – to give you Automated Lithology. This new service delivers a precise and consistent digital representation of reservoir lithology. HD images of cuttings capture various geological characteristics of the rock that can be integrated into 3D reservoir models.

Our AI-enhanced analysis offers clear, concise descriptions while eliminating input errors, subjective bias, and delays in reporting. Unlike conventional methods, Automated Lithology generates digital logs with rich data sets, which are easily integrated into any subsurface evaluation workflow. Data is rapidly shared from remote operations using cloud-based technology enabled by SLB’s   Performance Live digitally connected service.

Now, you can achieve higher lithological accuracy to make precise well construction plans. 

Automated Lithology goes beyond optimizing drilling operations and the recovery of oil & gas and is now being used in zero-carbon solutions. SLB is advancing the capabilities of surface logging and shaping the future of well construction.
