Geothermal Services

Optimize geothermal resource development by reducing drilling risk and improving well productivity with state of the art technology

Schlumberger provides the technology and expertise to accurately characterize reservoirs for geothermal energy production. We are able to increase exploration success, increase well productivity, and reduce drilling cost. Through early investment during the exploration phase production costs are reduced and operational efficiency and results are improved.

Accessing geothermal resources demands a deep understanding of subsurface environments and access to the right technologies. Leveraging Schlumberger’s expertise in subsurface exploration and proprietary instrumentation, Schlumberger Geothermal Services is providing leading-edge solutions to the geothermal industry, worldwide.

Technology

Schlumberger has pioneered many technologies that have now become the industry standard and we continue to work on new subsurface advancements. Our unique tools are proven in the most extreme environments to eliminate barriers in subsurface exploration.

• Fracture detection from surface
• Prolonged exposure of downhole electronics to high temperatures (DOE project for pumps)
• Stimulation and fracture control
• Thermal reaction/deactivation of chemicals in  drilling, stimulation, and cementing fluids
• Cost-effective drilling of deep and large diameter wells in hard/fractured rocks
• High-pressure high temperature pushing the boundaries to 500 C
• Thermal recovery of heavy oil, e.g. Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD)
• Development of shale gas
