Schlumberger (SLB), USA announces the awarding of contracts across Gulf Countries as part of its third-Quarter 2025 Results.
In Oman, SLB and Petroleum Development Oman (PDO) enhanced production from its longest horizontal well in a tight clastic formation using an integrated stimulation solution. Precise wireline ThruBit Dipole™ acoustic service deployment and data acquisition was achieved with an angled hole finder and tool taxi, logging the target reservoir sections to deliver critical stress and geomechanical data. Now™ accelerated answer products, with Acoustics Now, enabled near real-time interpretation to optimize fracturing stage design. Eight engineered stages, including BroadBand Sequence™ fracturing service in the final three, achieved 100% placement and completed the well 26.5 days ahead of plan. Eliminating contingency cleanouts and repeated fracturing jobs saved an estimated 50 metric tons of CO2e and 4,500 barrels of water. PDO plans to replicate this success in future wells.
Also in Oman, bp and SLB deployed Hiway Flex™ customizable flow-channel fracturing technology across multiple formations in the Block-61 gas field. Designed for challenging environments prone to screenout, the fracturing technology improved proppant placement efficiency, eliminating the need for standby coiled tubing units. The deployment enabled a measurable reduction in well intervention costs and increased operational reliability. Early flowback and production data indicate enhanced reservoir contact and fracture conductivity, with treated wells delivering more than 50% higher gas output compared with offset wells using conventional methods.
In Abu Dhabi, SLB and AIQ will closely collaborate to advance AIQ’s continued development and deployment of its ENERGYai agentic AI solution across ADNOC’s subsurface operations. ENERGYai combines large language model (LLM) technology with cutting-edge agentic AI, which is trained for specific workflows across ADNOC’s upstream value chain. AIQ and SLB will jointly design and deploy new agentic AI workflows across ADNOC’s subsurface operations, including for geology, seismic explorations and reservoir modeling, supported by SLB’s Lumi™ data and AI platform and other digital technologies.
In Kuwait, SLB was awarded a five-year master service agreement by Kuwait Oil Company (KOC) for consultancy services in exploration and development. SLB will deploy advanced digital solutions — including generative AI for production optimization and reservoir performance — to accelerate decision making, enhance operational efficiency and support KOC’s strategic vision for a digitally integrated future.
