Technology for a Sustainable Future

Innovation is in our DNA, and it is fueled by the passion of our people and their unbound creativity. Backed by our constantly evolving industry-leading knowledge, expertise, and experience, we challenge the status quo and continually focus on solving energy industry challenges for a more sustainable future.

Our experts collaborate with customers, academia, and partners to create amazing technology that unlocks access to energy for the benefit of all to define and drive high performance, sustainably.

Since 1912, Schlumberger has continuously raised the benchmark for innovation, evidenced by our long-held and continuing track record of solutions, industry firsts, and new industry standards. Key to these successes is our global network of R&D and manufacturing centers, where our multidisciplinary teams collaborate around the world. From R&D to industrialization and manufacturing centers, our technology development, deployment, delivery, and life cycle management teams work to solve the toughest energy challenges.

By applying our broad expertise across the full technology life cycle, we develop solutions that move quickly from invention in our technology centers to where they matter most—into safer, efficient, and sustainable operations for our customers.

Technology solutions for a sustainable future

At Schlumberger, we understand that technology is only as valuable as its operational impact today, and that means greater emphasis on sustainability. Working in partnership with our customers, we challenge the status quo to optimize every solution, large and small, to deliver on the industry’s evolving needs.

As a technology company, we have a responsibility to drive down emissions across the entire value chain, and that begins with finding innovative ways to reduce emissions in our own operations. It also means directing more R&D investments toward new ways of decarbonizing E&P operations, expanding our portfolio of existing lower-carbon solutions, and exploring new avenues of expanded knowledge to accelerate innovation in emerging low-carbon new energy sectors, like hydrogen and lithium.

Digital and technical domain expertise, combined with years of experience in technology development and industrialization, fuels this innovation loop at every stage—from design, development, and manufacturing and deployment to the considerations necessary in the evolving circular economy.

Industry-standard digital foundation

Working from a strong digital foundation, our teams transform the cloud, AI, machine learning (ML), and cybersecurity into energy technology solutions that change perspectives.

• We craft customized end-to-end workflows and integrated systems to enhance efficiency and reliability.
• We leverage the computational power and storage elasticity of the cloud as well as the efficiency and insights that come from the smart application of AI and ML.
• To close the feedback loop, we deploy digitally enabled equipment that monitors system health, enables the automation of processes, and optimizes performance with the secure connectivity of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT).

Accelerating industry change

Leveraging our global network of digital experts and data scientists, we deliver innovative new solutions to help overcome our customers' digital workflow challenges. We are accelerating AI adoption for energy companies with open AI, data, and digital solutions for all domains. Using the advanced technology we place at their fingertips, our customers can rapidly accelerate the process of taking experiments and concepts to fully deployed customized workflows and digital solutions. We work together for every specific need to deploy solutions on premise, at the edge, or on the cloud—including open systems, such as the OSDU Data Platform—enabling our customers' teams to work better together with access to the data and applications they need.

A team to create our future

The energy industry requires deep domain understanding to create technologies that provide sustainable access to energy worldwide. To maximize our impact, our teams combine engineering and scientific expertise with a deep understanding of industry domains. Add to this our proven skills in digital and data science, and the ability to successfully solve important industry challenges is stronger than ever.

At our technology centers, we work in multidisciplinary teams that integrate technical and operational understanding, science, AI, ML, and energy domain knowledge to create products and services that move the energy industry forward.

Collaboration that fuels progress

Collaboration is the cornerstone of success for Schlumberger technology developers. Our diverse community of highly educated experts employs the latest developments in science, technology, and engineering to invent solutions for and with our customers.

Whether creating venues for high-level technical discussions within our organization or fostering collaboration across academic, professional, and technology communities worldwide, Schlumberger unites leading experts in an inspiring environment of collaboration and innovation.

Academic and community collaborators

To capitalize on innovation in other industries, we connect with experts at worldwide symposiums and forums on digital and scientific advances. Our academic partners bring the best in research and knowledge, which we combine with our domain expertise to accelerate the development of next-generation technology for the energy industry.

Technology partners
