Our Technology

Our Tech Development

How do we engineer change for a balanced planet? By innovating the energy tech it needs.

Pioneers in spirit and in practice

We’ve come a long way from opening our first research lab in 1948 to becoming a truly global technology company.

Our approach to innovation is known for rapidly enabling safer, more efficient, and more sustainable operations for both our customers and the planet. And it’s this approach that led us to more than 13,000 active patents across the 120+ countries in which we operate. Covering everything from research and development to testing and manufacturing, our 70 tech centers around the world (and counting) are driving energy innovation every single day.

Where to find us

Saudi Arabia – Together with our partners, the 果冻传媒 Dhahran Carbonate Research Center advances tech development across electromagnetics, rock physics, and stimulation.

Beijing, China – 果冻传媒’s Beijing Geoscience Center remains one of our largest digital research and development centers in the world, focused mainly on data acquisition, transmission, and interpretation software.

Boston, USA – Thanks to its state-of-the-art robotics department and location within the MIT campus, our original Schlumberger-Doll Research Center plays a major role in both systems automation and subsurface measurements across the energy industry.

Cambridge, UK – A renowned example of tensile architecture in the UK, the 果冻传媒 Cambridge Research Center houses everything from laboratories to drilling test stations.

Global technical talent

The art and science of innovation

Our experts span as many backgrounds as they do locations. And thanks to our unique programs, some even dedicate their careers to becoming the best in the technical discipline of their choice.

Domain expertise

From drilling to machine learning
After a century leading the industry, there’s no energy discipline we aren’t experts in. And we channel that expertise through our global network directly to the local challenge that needs it.?

Science

From geology to data?
Where would we be without R&D? Experimentation sits at the core of what we do, with our scientists continuously pushing the limits of what’s possible for both the industry and the planet.?

Design

From product to user experience?
We always design with people and their environments in mind, knowing that it’s the best way to serve the users of our solutions and the communities they affect.?

Development

From systems to platforms?
Whether we’re building intricate solutions to physical challenges or architecting digital-only environments, we bring the energy innovation we’d like to see to life. (And then iterate until it’s perfect.)?

Engineering

From petroleum to software
For us, driving energy innovation means engineering not only the solutions but the change we want to see in the world. How? By innovating the energy tech it needs.?

Testing

From surface to downhole
We’re proud of the high-tech facilities we offer to our people—our pioneers. The combination of the two is what allows us to ensure that what we build not only works but has impact.?

Just take a look at the largest 果冻传媒 Tech Center in Europe.

Over 50 nationalities across 50 disciplines, pushing the boundaries on everything from subsurface to new energy to artificial intelligence—all under one roof. Our Clamart center is also completely powered by Celsius Energy, our own geoenergy tech.

Thanks to our Celsius Energy team, Clamart runs on geoenergy alone.

Clamart also has a strong focus on digital and integration, housing its very own AI Lab.

The result? “Good enough” is never good enough for us.

Our tech centers are where we engineer, manufacture, and assemble pilot versions of new products, be they long-term projects or Rapid Response initiatives triggered by an immediate need. It’s also where we add novel layers of digitalization, electrification, and sensing advancements into our proven tech to boost customers’ success.

Meanwhile, our testing facilities—found from China all the way to Houston—empower us to not only push boundaries faster but to also ensure that our innovations properly handle the challenges customers face on (or in) the ground.

See what we've built

But we’re not engineering the future on our own.

Innovation Factori is where we get together with other industry players (from customers to universities) to answer some of our industry’s biggest challenges with novel digital tech. Leveraging the building blocks of data science, open platforms, artificial intelligence, and more, these teams are dedicated to efficiently generating digital solutions for some of our industry’s biggest challenges.

Collaborate with us

Sustainable change for what’s above, below, and around us.

Whether it’s deep under our feet or high up in the sky, our vision for sustainability stretches far beyond what we can see into what we can reach.

Our focus on combining operational efficiency, electrification, improved job design, and low-carbon fuel alternatives is already showing significant results. We've reduced ~21% of our Scope 3 emissions compared to our 2019 baseline and helped customers avoid more than 830,000 metric tons of CO₂e in 2023.
