Overview
Fast-track exploration to production
As the industry looks to reduce cycle times, costs, and risks, exploration is shifting near existing infrastructure. Today, about 80% of exploration and appraisal activity focuses on near-field exploration, helping operators explore untapped reserves in their own backyards and tie back to existing infrastructure. Also known as infrastructure-led exploration (ILX), this approach minimizes initial investment, accelerates production, and reduces carbon intensity per barrel. SLB uses digital and innovative technologies to optimize ILX, delivering greater certainty and at the speed that the job demands. With advanced tech, high-quality measurements, and timely insights, you not only can confirm commercial viability of untapped reserves quicker but expedite well placement, sidetracking, completions design, and overall field development.
