Turning ambition into breakthrough innovation
What started as the bold vision of an SLB researcher—to create more than a tool but a whole new domain of formation insight—has now evolved into one of the industry’s most advanced reservoir characterization platforms.
With the support of hundreds of SLB experts worldwide, the Ora™ intelligent wireline formation testing platform remains as pioneering today as the day it was conceived, delivering smarter, lower-carbon operations for a rapidly changing energy landscape.
From drilling to machine learning
After a century leading the industry, there’s no energy discipline we
aren’t experts in. And we channel that expertise through our global network
directly to the local challenge that needs it.
From geology to data
Where would we be without R&D? Experimentation sits at the core of what
we do, with our scientists continuously pushing the limits of what’s possible
for both the industry and the planet.
From product to user experience
We always design with people and their environments in mind, knowing that
it’s the best way to serve the users of our solutions and the communities they
affect.
From systems to platforms
Whether we’re building intricate solutions to physical challenges or
architecting digital-only environments, we bring the energy innovation we’d
like to see to life. (And then iterate until it’s perfect.)
From petroleum to software
For us, driving energy innovation means engineering not only the solutions
but the change we want to see in the world. How? By innovating the energy tech it
needs.
From surface to downhole
We’re proud of the high-tech facilities we offer to our
people—our pioneers. The combination of the two is what allows us to ensure
that what we build not only works but has impact.

Innovation Factori™ AI collaboration workspace is where we get together with other industry players (from customers to universities) to answer some of our industry’s biggest challenges with novel digital tech. Leveraging the building blocks of data science, open platforms, artificial intelligence, and more, these teams are dedicated to efficiently generating digital solutions.
The Ora platform is a result of truly global collaboration, uniting more than 100 specialists across SLB research and engineering centers in North America, Europe, and Asia.
Mechanical, electrical, software, and reservoir engineers worked side-by-side with physicists, reliability experts, and supply chain professionals—bringing together deep and diverse domain expertise to tackle some of the industry's toughest subsurface challenges.
This cross-continental effort didn’t just build a tool; it built an ecosystem for intelligent formation testing.
From the North Sea to the Gulf of America, historically known as the Gulf of Mexico, and West Africa, the Ora platform enables operators to reduce flaring, cut emissions, and accelerate their decision making through deep transient testing (DTT) and integrated digital workflows.
Recognized with industry honors including the OTC Spotlight on New Technology, the Ora platform continues to define sustainable energy innovation—helping operators see clearer, act faster, and lower their carbon footprint.
Thought leaders from around the world share their vision and experiences.
How do you choose the right LLM for your use case and enhance it with your specialized expertise?
To reduce your GHG emissions, you must modernize how you screen, rank, and select your carbon storage sites.
It's never been more important to assess the emissions contributed by each step in your products' life cycles.
Oil and gas doesn’t need generic AI. It needs precise intelligence built on our data and requirements.
We’re diverse and insightful, pushing the boundaries on a global stage.
