In the next few decades, many industries that are crucial to our modern world must rapidly adopt carbon capture to decarbonize and meet net-zero targets. Today, we are proud to announce the closing of our joint venture with Aker Carbon Capture, which will accelerate carbon capture for power and hard-to-abate industrial sectors by enabling access to market-ready and new carbon capture technologies worldwide.

We’re pleased to continue strengthening our partnership with Vista Energy in Argentina’s Vaca Muerta field. Together with Vista, SLB is driving production from this immense field, using SLB-developed technologies together with a collaborative one-team approach, and a shared mission to reduce costs, lower emissions and enhance production efficiencies.

A natural way to heat and cool buildings is right under our feet. By tapping into ground source energy (also known as geo-energy) below the surface, we can reduce carbon emissions by up to 90%. Pictured is Joe N Rouhana at our geo-energy facility. Those yellow boxes are part of the system controller, a.k.a. the digital brain of the operation. Using data from the building, heat pump system and subsurface sensors, the automated digital platform maximizes energy efficiency in real time. The platform also shares continuous info on the building's energy consumption, CO₂ emissions, system performance and more.

The need for energy transition and the AI revolution are top of the global agenda, and we’re bringing together business leaders from across the worlds of energy and technology to address the challenges ahead. Attendees will learn how AI, data, IIOT, edge, and cloud computing can help drive the industry forward. Join us at the Grimaldi Forum Monaco, from September 16-19, for the SLB Digital Forum 2024: www.digitalforum.slb.com #SLBDigitalForum2024

This World Environment Day, we're proud to spotlight SLB's efforts to protect our planet's biodiversity, extending throughout our operations, facilities, and community engagements. By aligning our business practices with biodiversity preservation we're not only safeguarding ecosystems, we’re also fortifying our own sustainability and resilience for the future.

Analyses by the International Energy Agency (IEA) show that even in a net-zero scenario, oil and gas will still be necessary in 2050 and beyond, meaning we need to further control greenhouse gas emissions moving forward. One means of achieving this would be to optimize production and recovery from the reserves that already exist today, but some operators remain reluctant. The question is why? And how can we change this? SLB’s Matthew Billingham, Global Intervention Director for Reservoir Performance Intervention, shares his outlook on how proactive intervention is key: https://lnkd.in/gjYwsFwt

In this Offshore magazine guest editorial, Wallace Pescarini, SLB Basin President, Offshore Atlantic, shares how innovative technologies are reshaping the offshore oil and gas landscape to drive efficiency, sustainability and resilience. Key highlights include: • How operators are leveraging digital automation and AI to realize improved safety and performance, making operations more consistent and efficient while improving the sustainability of their projects. • How full-scale electrification of offshore infrastructure will enable economical, decarbonized, and digitally controlled hydrocarbon production. • How advancements in subsea processing technology can significantly reduce a field’s carbon footprint, maximize recovery, and optimize CAPEX spending.

The last major technological revolution in steelmaking was more than 100 years ago, and it’s time for a change. But decarbonizing the steel industry—a major imperative for achieving net zero—won’t happen in one fell swoop of innovation. Instead, it will require multiple technologies working together to create a more sustainable solution. How should we approach this complex challenge? Omar Navarro, MBA, Steel Industry Director at SLB, suggests we divide the task into 3 stages: 🔵 Stage 1 – Improve materials and processes to minimize emissions 🔵 Stage 2 – Optimize tech for capturing carbon (e.g., hydrogen-based options) 🔵 Stage 3 – Develop tech and markets for utilizing captured CO2 Learn more from Omar about decarbonizing steel here: https://lnkd.in/ger7ceZM

SLB has announced the award of a significant contract by Equinor to its OneSubsea™ joint venture. See more below.

Did you know that geothermal power plants require nearly 90% less land use than wind farms and 80% less than solar? In fact, geothermal has one of the smallest footprints of any new energy source. And that’s just one of its benefits. See exactly what makes geothermal a promising new frontier below, written from the perspective of SLB's Power Industry Director, Vijay Betanabhatla, MBA https://lnkd.in/d2Ra5SDG
