With lithium demand skyrocketing, there’s a growing need to find and develop new lithium deposits and ramp up production from existing sources. But as you might guess, it’s not that simple.

Lithium projects involve long lead times, technological innovation, significant capital investment, and numerous operational, environmental, and social risks. Better knowledge of the subsurface is crucial in the effort to bolster the security of this mineral supply.

Unpack its complexity and explore the role of subsurface science in lithium production in this episode of SLB New Energy Conversations.
