Schlumberger has operated in Nigeria as a locally incorporated company since 1970. Prior to this, in 1956 Schlumberger logged the first and the oldest oil well in Nigeria. Since that time Schlumberger has logged many other historical wells in Nigeria. Our objective is to assist operating companies in maximizing asset value through the application of best practices, advanced oilfield technologies, service quality at the well site, as well as promoting safe and environmentally sound operations. Our trained and highly qualified professionals deliver these services. In a constantly changing market place, oilfield efficiency is a crucial factor for success. Today, more than ever before, service companies must provide operators with integrated engineering solutions that help lower lifting costs and improve reserve recovery to ensure the future growth and profitability of the E&P industry. Schlumberger is readily meeting these challenges and more in Nigeria with a streamlined organization, focus on local problems, a continuing commitment to leadership in technical innovation and a dedication to creating added value throughout the lives of oil and gas fields. We are working with our clients in an atmosphere of Teamwork, Innovation and Value Creation.

The company was founded by the two Schlumberger brothers who invented wireline logging as a technique for obtaining downhole data in oil and gas wells. Today, it continues to build on the industry’s longest track record of providing leading edge E&P technology to develop new advancements-from reservoir to surface. Schlumberger has always invested significant time and money on research and engineering as a long-term strategy to support and grow its technology leadership. Short-term business cycles do not affect this. In 2012, we invested $1.2 billion in R&D for our oilfield activities. Schlumberger invests more each year in R&D than all other oilfield services companies combined.

Enhancing core E&P operations to improve production, increase reserves and drill better wells requires the integration of innovative information technology.

As the industry’s focus is moving towards maximizing post-plateau production and ultimate recovery, oil companies have to face more and more resource intensive projects.

IPM activity is characterized by long-term relationships between the customer and Schlumberger. It offers a combination of engineering, process management and understanding of Schlumberger segment technologies.

The benefits to the customer have included accelerated production, reduced capital expenditure and increased efficiency.
