Being a global tech company has taught us many valuable lessons, and chief among them is that every region requires a unique approach. That means distinct considerations, tailored processes, and oftentimes, a completely different set of expectations. There's definitely value in localizing global knowledge, but only if it's set in careful balance with the specific needs of the community being served. This fact is coming to the forefront once again as the world turns its attention not just to AI, but to AI in Africa. Because while the technology poses massive potential for the region, several challenges are hindering local professionals from taking full advantage of it. 💡Unreliable power Weak grids make data centers difficult to sustain, slowing the pace of digital transformation and AI adoption. 📚 Limited access to training There's no shortage of skilled labor in Africa, but it's difficult to enter the space when the number of resources available are limited and many of the tools aren't trained on local languages. 🌍 External dependencies Most of the AI tech deployed across Africa's oil fields process local data while still being linked to external systems, which has its benefits but also poses major questions around ownership—both now and in the future. It's nuances like these that must be considered when operating across diverse communities, and we're grateful for experts like Ghislain Fai-Yengo who not only help our organization make that difference, but also take the time to share their insights with the world. What will it take to scale AI in Africa's oil and gas sector? Read Ghislain's insightful article to find out: https://ow.ly/Mwkt50XrWx6

ADIPEC 2025 made one thing clear: AI is gaining momentum in the energy industry.   This new issue of SLB Energy 360° unpacks how SLB is at the forefront of the energy + intelligence intersection, advancing AI-driven solutions that elevate the industry’s operational potential.   ⬇️ Check it out, and don’t forget to subscribe!

The value of AI doesn't reside solely in efficiency and delegation, but also in how it shifts the relationship between human and technology. As platforms advance and agents become increasingly intertwined in people's lives, technology is becoming less of a tool and more of a partner. This is just as true in oil and gas as it is anywhere else. We're now able to see the oil field as a dynamic system, with engineers and geoscientists becoming the "thinkers" behind how it ebbs and flows. Its curators and guardians. No one describes this better than Rakesh Jaggi, our very own President of Digital & Integration. After all, he brushes shoulders with the technology every day, exploring the AI opportunity with our clients and partners. Want to know how he sees the role of agentic AI in oil and gas?

Today, we unveiled Tela™, a groundbreaking new agentic AI technology for the energy industry. Whether interpreting well logs, predicting drilling issues, or optimizing equipment performance, Tela agents can work in collaboration with humans or autonomously to deliver faster, smarter decisions. “Technology like Tela marks a paradigm shift in how AI supports the energy industry, from subsurface to operations,” said Rakesh Jaggi, president, Digital and Integration, SLB. “Tela doesn’t just automate tasks — it can understand goals, make decisions and take action. It’s the convergence of 100 years of domain science and cutting-edge digital technology, amplifying human ingenuity and redefining how work gets done.” Learn more about this announcement: https://lnkd.in/gibpDvuT

Imagine a new era of intelligence in energy. On Monday, imagination becomes reality. #SLBDigital #WeAreSLB #ADIPEC

In a new series called Paper Route, our top experts translate the scientific findings of recently published research into explanations we can all more easily understand. The first edition is written by Drew Pomerantz, our resident lead in all things end-to-end emissions management. He reviews two research papers that each touch on methods for analyzing combustion efficiency, albeit in different ways. Find out whether the relative concentrations of methane and carbon dioxide released by field operations can truly be measured: https://ow.ly/Ch8250XkJyP And be sure to subscribe to the Insights newsletter to have the next research review delivered straight to you!

Announced today: SLB has secured two sizeable EPC contracts from PTTEP for the expansion of deepwater fields offshore Malaysia. As part of the contracts, SLB OneSubsea will deliver integrated subsea production systems — including horizontal trees, umbilicals and advanced control systems — for the Alum, Bemban and Permai gas fields in Block H and the Kikeh field, Malaysia’s first deepwater oil project.    “We are proud to continue our long-standing relationship with PTTEP, which has seen the delivery of more than 50 systems over the past 20 years,” said Mads Hjelmeland, chief executive officer of SLB OneSubsea. “By leveraging our experience in complex deepwater environments and a highly collaborative approach, we will help PTTEP unlock maximum value from these projects.”   Learn more about this announcement: https://lnkd.in/gFQag2bs #WeAreSLB #SLB #OneSubsea

SLB is excited to join ADIPEC 2025, where we’ll connect with customers, partners and peers to explore how combining energy and intelligence drives measurable impact. We look forward to sharing how advanced AI and high-efficiency, reliable technologies can optimize production and recovery from existing oil and gas assets—showcasing where intelligence meets energy expertise. Our CEO, Olivier Le Peuch, will share insights on scaling innovations across the energy value chain. In addition, our leaders and experts will join strategic and technical programs to highlight industry trends and innovative technologies shaping the energy future. Visit us 3-6 November in Hall 4, Stand 4330, and join the conversation using #ADIPEC2025.

Today, SLB and Ormat Technologies, Inc. announced an agreement to fast-track the development and commercialization of integrated geothermal assets, including enhanced geothermal systems (EGS).   By combining SLB’s strengths in subsurface, reservoir engineering and well construction with Ormat’s expertise in power plant design, development and operations, we intend to streamline project deployment, from concept to power generation. This collaboration will include the design and construction of an EGS pilot at an Ormat site, paving the way for large-scale EGS commercialization to serve utilities, independent power producers and other customers, including data center operators.   Together, we’re accelerating the path to clean and reliable energy to meet the growing demand for energy driven by AI and other factors.   For more information, read the full announcement: https://lnkd.in/gPB5A3bR #WeAreSLB #SLB #EnergyInnovation #Geothermal
