A domain-driven ecosystem that automates and optimizes E&P performance. A rich network of global collaborators with a shared vision for solving the industry’s technology challenges. Groundbreaking digital capabilities that enhance efficiency across technology development, manufacturing and lifecycle management.

This is the future of E&P innovation. This is Technology4.0.

Schlumberger is raising the benchmark for continuous innovation. Our technology development, manufacturing, and lifecycle management teams work seamlessly to transform the toughest E&P challenges into groundbreaking technology solutions. By applying our full scope of expertise, we ensure innovation makes it from our Technology Centers to where it matters most: into the hands of our customers.

With Technology4.0, Schlumberger goes beyond digital enablement to realize the full promise of automated and optimized products and services.

At Schlumberger, we understand that technology is only as valuable as its operational impact. We continuously optimize every solution, large and small, to anticipate the evolving needs of our customers and industry. Digital and domain expertise fuels this innovation loop at every stage, from design, development, and deployment through testing and optimizations that begin the cycle again.

A Next-Level Digital Foundation

Our experts are leaders in the digital forces shaping the world. We use robust real-time data and domain expertise to drive every decision, bringing together technology development, manufacturing, and lifecycle management applications like never before.

True innovation is greater than the sum of its parts. Working from a strong digital foundation, our teams transform the cloud, big data, user experience, and cybersecurity into E&P solutions that move the needle for our customers. We craft customized end-to-end workflows and integrated systems to enhance efficiency and reliability. We leverage the power and storage elasticity of the cloud, the efficiency of high-performance computing, and the connectivity of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) to create technologies tailored to each domain’s biggest challenges. To close the feedback loop, we deploy digitally enabled equipment that monitors health, automates processes, and optimizes performance for each location's environment and geography.

These next-level innovations are only possible when data and expertise are combined to craft domain-driven digital solutions.

Innovation Greater Than the Sum of Its Parts

To maximize efficiency and impact, our teams combine engineering competencies with a deep understanding of the domain. Schlumberger places brilliant technologists in the field, empowering them to gather on-the-ground insights that maximize impact for every solution and every customer.

Working in our Technology Centers, Schlumberger engineering teams use the latest sensors, electronics, and robotics technologies and the most recent modeling and prototyping techniques to deliver highly innovative and reliable products. Leveraging IIoT technologies, embedded intelligence, big data science, and cloud processing, our engineers transform the latest technologies into domain-driven solutions that deliver superior operational efficiency and performance for our customers.

In an industry as dynamic as oil and gas, there are no “average” problems and no “easy” fixes. Our technology-minded manufacturing team rises to the challenge, meeting complex challenges with advanced solutions designed for each technology’s specifications. Working closely with our design and engineering teams, these experts ensure we build technology with unparalleled precision, striking the perfect blend of quality and flexibility every time.

With capabilities ranging from crafting perforating charges to building nuclear detectors, our manufacturing team applies cutting-edge technology and robust knowledge to meet the market’s evolving demands. We use modern manufacturing practices, digital technologies, and automated solutions to fuel continuous process improvements in every manufacturing center.

Equipment may leave our Technology Centers, but it never leaves our care. Schlumberger maintains technology through every stage in its lifecycle, using advanced digital capabilities to distribute maintenance and keep each equipment linked to our centers for technical support.

Our technology lifecycle management team integrates data with our robust operations, maintenance, and Technology Centers capabilities. The result is technology that is reliable, delivered on time, and consistently operating at peak performance, with intelligent maintenance that improves in-field asset utilization.
