Low Carbon Energy

Challenge

The need is clear—for the world to deliver net zero by 2050, low carbon energy sources need to be scaled up rapidly. Scaling these diverse energy sources and integrating them into new energy systems requires careful technical and economic planning and assessment of risk.

Digital technology has a critical role to play in this scale up, by helping design and de-risk low carbon energy planning and operations, and in optimizing these integrated energy systems. Schlumberger digital technologies are already helping customers plan and deliver geothermal, hydrogen and offshore wind projects.

 

Geothermal

Decades of surface and subsurface expertise to optimize well placement and resource production.

Hydrogen

Digital solutions to design and de-risk multi-billion-dollar end-to-end hydrogen systems.

Offshore Wind

Digital solutions, AI and automation to accelerate site assessment and reduce time to first power.

140+ Low Carbon Energy Projects

Offshore Wind

From design to operation, offshore wind farms take many years to bring online. A critical part of this process is careful assessment for siting offshore wind turbines, making sure to avoid shallow geohazards, cable route optimization, and wake effects. Optimum siting requires a detailed understanding of the shallow subsurface and the integration of numerous different data types to build a complete picture of risk.

Schlumberger subsurface interpretation and modelling technology has been developed over the last 25 years to offer customers best-in-class domain science. In the offshore wind space this means robust domain conversions through to full integration of cone penetration test data to make full 3D strength models of the subsurface that can enable confident decisions for optimal siting of wind turbine foundations and cables. Combined with the latest advances in AI and automation, our technology can accelerate site assessment time and reduce the time to first power.

Display, organize and interpret any type of well data.

Accurate velocity modeling and domain conversion.

A flexible environment for building 3D ground models.

Hydrogen on the Horizon 

The world is changing rapidly, and the pandemic of 2020 has accelerated plans to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, particularly in Europe. A growing number of governments are putting “net zero” targets into law. Environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) metrics are motivating investment decisions globally.
