Differentiated by our performance
Product and services safety
Our operations integrity team leads our commitment to providing safe, reliable, and efficient operations to our customers. We ensure operational integrity and drive performance, so we can consistently deliver superior services and products. Product safety and services are key to our success and support SLB’s sustainability commitment to protect people, our communities, and the environment, and to deliver high-quality technology, performance, and services to our customers.
Safety
Our operations integrity teams proactively manage hazards related to product and service safety. We are focused on end-to-end management of the life cycle of product and service safety hazards including a network of experts at all levels from global down to the field operations level.
In 2023, SLB achieved a target of zero tolerance events (ZTEs). ZTEs cover major or catastrophic incidents in our services or sold as products.
Reliability
We continue to focus on service and product quality reliability. In 2023, we achieved our best reliability performance on record. We continue to see a decoupled relationship between our reliability performance and activity in a year that saw new unforeseen global events contributing to a challenging business upcycle. Reliability typically deteriorates with increasing activity, but we are reversing that trend.
