SLB services

Beyond direction and inclination data, formation evaluation, and more, MWD services play a key role in driving drilling optimization and efficiency by minimizing invisible lost time and ensuring no ROP limitation occurs while drilling because of data transmission rates.

Timely, accurate information about well status and drilling performance help drill better wells more efficiently. Schlumberger provides formation evaluation and drilling support through Geoservices.

Fast, high-quality data for accurate geosteering and formation evaluation. Increase ROP, improve wellbore stability and hole quality, and optimize well placement and reservoir exposure for maximum production—faster. As the industry leaders in LWD technology, Schlumberger creates advanced LWD services that acquire high-quality data for accurate geosteering and more-informed formation evaluation, so you can work proactively as you drill.

MPD provides a closed-loop circulation system in which pore pressure, formation fracture pressure, and bottomhole pressure are balanced and managed at surface. Drilling fluid is supplemented by surface backpressure, which can be adjusted much faster in response to downhole conditions compared with changing mud weights conventionally. Although it originated as a solution to “undrillable” wells, today, wells of all types can use the technique to manage critical downhole pressures more effectively, leading to improved drilling efficiency and enhanced safety.
