There's an increasing focus on "product carbon footprints", but what does that mean exactly? And how is it different from corporate carbon accounting? Dr. Kinda Georges-Nachef, PhD, a product carbon footprint and life cycle assessment expert at SLB, tells us what we need to know here: https://lnkd.in/gXdNufcM

We're pleased to announce we have been awarded a series of major drilling contracts by Shell to support capital-efficient energy development across its deep- and ultra-deepwater assets in the UK North Sea, Trinidad and Tobago, the Gulf of Mexico and others. “We are proud to continue our long-standing relationship with Shell through the fulfilment of these multi-region deepwater contracts. Over the years, we have worked diligently to provide safe, high-quality services to our customers, including Shell. Drawing on our global expertise in complex deepwater environments and advanced technology solutions, we will align with Shell’s expectations for safe and efficient energy development on these projects,” said Wallace Pescarini, president of Offshore Atlantic, SLB. The projects will combine SLB’s AI-enabled digital drilling capabilities with its expertise in ultra-deepwater environments to deliver more consistent wells that improve cost efficiencies.

With 2024 drawing to a close, we’re highlighting some milestone moments that make us proud of the work our teams do every day as we drive energy innovation for a balanced planet. #WeAreSLB #DrivingEnergyInnovation

Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) reporting is a proven way of tracking your company's progress towards its emissions reduction targets. It gives key stakeholders — be they employees, customers, investors, or the wider public — an idea of what you're aiming for and the sustainability efforts you're making. As with financial reporting, it's important that these ESG reports are not only accurate but also comprehensive. So, where do you begin in gathering the right data over the coming year? Here, Marina Bulova (an expert in nature and climate action) describes her 6 steps for building an effective emissions quantification tool: https://lnkd.in/gBx-piEJ

In Mexico, many of our facilities are in water-scarce areas. That’s why we’ve installed a hydropanel system to generate drinking water in one of our facilities in Monterrey, with plans to expand this to more SLB sites. This is just one of our Sustainability Impact Awards initiatives, empowering local teams to design and deliver innovative, high-impact, and scalable sustainability projects.

When engineered correctly, AI can optimize processes across the energy value chain. Even with more than 800 km of pipeline, an AI model built on robust physics-based simulations can rapidly assess risk and suggest corrective actions for the entire network—all in a matter of minutes. Those actions can then be autonomously implemented via edge infrastructure. It's a level of digital transformation that's not only close, it's here. Read more from Rakesh Jaggi, president of digital and integration, and see how engineered AI can change, well...everything. https://lnkd.in/dymYabHy

We are pleased to announce that our OneSubsea joint venture has been awarded a new contract by Petrobras for two subsea raw seawater injection systems to increase recovery from the prolific Búzios field. "As deepwater basins mature, we see more and more secondary recovery opportunities emerging," said Mads Hjelmeland, CEO of SLB OneSubsea. "Subsea raw seawater injection is a well-proven application with a strong business case that we think should become mainstream. By placing the system directly on the seabed, we free up space and reduce fuel needs for the FPSOs as well as lessen the power needs for the injection systems. It's a win-win for Petrobras, and one that we are very excited about." Learn more about this contract: https://lnkd.in/gSkb-N8r #WeAreSLB #OneSubsea #SubseaInnovation

We are pleased to share Petrobras has awarded us a contract for integrated services across all of its offshore fields in Brazil, including overseeing the construction of more than 100 deepwater wells, utilizing advanced drilling, cementing and drilling fluids technologies on up to nine ultra-deepwater rigs. We have maintained a strong relationship with Petrobras as a technology partner for many decades. The advanced SLB technologies we will deploy include transition technologies such as SLB’s Ora™ intelligent wireline formation testing platform and SpectraSphere™ fluid mapping-while-drilling service.

We're pleased to introduce Neuro™ autonomous geosteering, an AI-driven solution that dynamically responds to subsurface complexities to drill more efficient, higher-performing wells with a smaller carbon footprint. “Neuro autonomous geosteering is a remarkable industry-first achievement that is for drillers what the autonomous vehicle is for drivers,” said Jesus Lamas, president, Well Construction, SLB. “Using advanced cloud and edge AI capabilities, the system automatically selects the best route for drilling the well based on high-fidelity downhole measurements, bringing the well trajectory in line with the real-world conditions of the reservoir. By drilling more consistent and higher-producing wells, our customers can optimize their field development plan while reducing operational emissions from drilling over the lifetime of the asset.” Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gZCAUmRy #AI #WeAreSLB #Innovation #Sustainability

"CCUS at cement plants will soon become the license to operate."   With the cement industry contributing 6% to 8% of global carbon dioxide emissions, many people are wondering: Can this number be reduced? The answer is yes. Yes, it can. We can decarbonize the manufacturing of cement through a combination of pathways, from the materials we use to produce it all the way to how we capture and utilize any resulting CO2.   For more details and clarity as to the path forward, read our latest piece on decarbonization: https://lnkd.in/gWdck8wj
