What is the New Energy?
SLB wants to be global technology leader in industrial decarbonization and clean energy.
There are five sectors:
* Carbon Solution
* Critical Minerals
* Geothermal and Geoenergy
* Low-Carbon Hydrogen
* Stationary Energy Storage
What is the EUR current scenario on renewable energies?
In EUR west
Geothermal, H2 wells
Why the SLB rebranding?
In October 2022 SLB announced its new name - SLB.
That was to emphasize the companys vision for a decarbonized energy future and affirming its transformation from the worlds largest oilfield services company to a global technology company focused on driving energy innovation for a balanced plannet.
What does the new logo means?
Logo represents the carbon budget line - the reduction in CO2e emissions to limit the global temperature rise to 1.5degC.
What are the 3 pillars of SLB?
-
PEOPLE
We are safe
Inclusive
Respect work and life Balance
Our exeptional and diverse people are the pulse and spirit of who we are -
TECHNOLOGY

We focus on what matters the most
Together we deliver outsdanding results to build a sustainable future
In 2022 slb revenue increased 23% yty.
How does SLB envisions to reduce carbon emissions?
Definition:
* Scope 1 - Emissions from sources controlled by company (fuel from car fleet)
* Scope 2 - Indirect (emissions caused by how electricity was produced)
* Scope 3 - Not produced by the company (use and disposal of 3rd party products)
SLB Strategy
* Scope 1 and 2: 80% comes from fuel, natural gas and diesel used in the field.
Actions: map emissions, reduce vehicle idling, improve job design, install electrical engines
- Product Innovation: Reduce operations carbon footprint.
When it is not possible to avoid flaring, we need to show how we differentiate from others:
Testing: Evergreen burner
Higher efficiency separator and automation
Cleanup Advisor
Concert (cameras to identify burner efficiency and separation efficiency)
Emissions Prection and emissions quantification (in progress)
Other segments: ORA for DST without flaring, WL for testing
Adopt new energy
* New energy at slb facilities
* Battery grade lithium
* Geoenergy
* Geothermal sources
How does evergreen compares to other?
Evergreen has 95.84% efficiency.
Conventional: 94%
But that actually represents 71% less methane. Methane is 25x worse for global warming compared to CO2.
Reduces 6-10% of CO2e
84 greated than CO2 over a 20-year period and 28 times over a century.
3 Top concerns and How managers can address to it
- Lack of competent personnel: Locations I have been have a lot of contractors or new hires that quickly need to be promoted without actually being prepared. We in testing have a lot of new technologies in place but I could not train anyone in MEA due to no person available.
Action: - Lack of ownership: I see my colleagues do not care about the company. I often hear “why do you care? it seems as if you are paying for this yourself”.
Action: managers need to engage with the personnel more than just sending them to jobs. You only feel part of the company if you know what is going on, what the company is doing. Needs to feel a bit more personal.
The majority of operators or FS are not involved in anything. - Lack of transparency: in my case as FS I never know when or where I am expected next.
Action: manager could have calls in which he will tell the overview of next jobs and what to expect.
EUR O&G industry outlook and Macros that impact the business.
THREE BIGGEST MACROS:
Covid, Ukraine War and Environmental Restrictions.
- Covid and Ukraine war had a very big impact in the last years.
- Energy firm profits skyrocketed because of rising demand after Covid restrictions were lifted, and then because Russia’s invasion of Ukraine raised energy prices.
- More explorations jobs in EUR are seen compared to last year.
- In 2022 Shell made its highest profit in its 115 year history.
- In 2022 UK government imposed a windfall tax for the energy companies - tax imposed on companies that have benefited from something they were not responsible for - in other words, a windfall.
How does Winfall tax works?
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak introduced the 25% Energy Profits Levy (EPL) in May 2022 when he was chancellor.
The current chancellor, Jeremy Hunt, increased it to 35% from January 2023, and announced it will run until March 2028.
However, in June the government said windfall tax would end if oil and gas prices fall below a certain level for six months.
For that to happen, average oil prices must fall to, or be below, $71.40 per barrel, and £0.54 per therm for gas, for two consecutive quarters.
In last year’s Autumn Statement, the government also introduced a temporary 45% levy on what it calls “extraordinary returns” from low-carbon electricity generators in the UK.
Larger operators started paying the Electricity Generator Levy on 1 January. The government hopes it will raise about £14bn over six years.
What is TechAcess?
SLB wants to make revenue in countries without access or footprint.
So for the past years, SLB is selling equipment to countries where it would not operate. For example, TCP tools for NL. We sell the tools, they operate.
We are currently selling equipments to Turkey.

What is the COP21?
Paris agreement signed in 2015 to make sure max 1.5 degC increase in the next century.
Who signed?
What is SLB Carbon Capture and Sequestration?
- Leading CO2 capture from natural gas
- SLB has been removing CO2 from natural gas streams since the early 1980s with our Cynara H2S and CO2 separation membranes.
Capture CO2 emission and storing or reusing so it doesnt enter atmosphere.
What is SLB Methane Elimination?
Remove methane emissions and flaring from operations.
By zero flaring (with pumps or ORA). BP Oman pumped to the storage facility.
In North America, flaring is banned and VX spectra is being used.
Geoenergy
- Geoenergy works by using the Earth as a thermal battery. Regardless of the season, the soil temperature tens of meters below ground is constant while the surface air temperature varies. Geoenergy installations take advantage of this difference, transferring stored heat from the ground when it’s cold and reversing the process when it’s hot—providing virtually carbon-free thermal comfort to buildings year-round.
- SLB’s Celsius Energy business has developed and deployed a geoenergy solution that is currently providing near emissions-free heating and cooling for buildings in France:
25% of all energy produced is to heat and cool homes and commercial buildings.
Conflict Minerals
- “Conflict minerals” means tin (cassiterite), tungsten (wolframite), tantalum (columbite tantalite or coltan), gold, or their derivatives, which originate in the covered countries.
- SLB is committed to purchase only those parts and products containing minerals that have been procured through a validated conflict-free supply chain to avoid the use of minerals that have financed conflict in the covered countries, and we expect our suppliers to abide by the same standard.
Battery Grade Lithium production with minimal environmental impact.
High demand for Electrical cars.
Neotlith - SLB Joint venture. Pilot plant to extract Lithium from brine reservoir.
