Intelligent well stimulation powered by digital innovation

In well stimulation, subsurface misunderstanding is the top culprit for underperformance. For development wells in mature and complex reservoirs, delayed answers from traditional workflows render collected data nearly irrelevant.

SLB Intelligent Stimulation changes the game with digital solutions that deliver insights in record time. By integrating advanced digital tools, domain expertise, and state‑of‑the‑art equipment, we turn subsurface data into actionable knowledge—fast.

From land to offshore, our tailored approaches ensure you’re equipped to tackle the toughest reservoir challenges and maximize well performance like never before.

Intelligent workflows integrate comprehensive subsurface data to optimize each phase of stimulation, improving lateral landing, cluster efficiency, lateral spacing, well productivity, and overall recovery.

Fast, reliable subsurface data for better, earlier decisions

Well stimulation success starts with understanding the reservoir. Intelligent evaluation workflows reduce the processing time for subsurface data from weeks to just three days. This accelerated turnaround ensures that critical decisions—about drilling, fracturing, or acidizing—are based on consistent, accurate insights and implemented early for optimal results.
