SLB partners with Shell on Petrel subsurface software

SLB is partnering with Shell to deploy its Petrel subsurface software across its assets worldwide

Petrel enables geoscientists and engineers to analyse subsurface data from exploration to production, enabling them to create a shared vision of the reservoir. This empowers companies to standardise workflows across E&P and make more informed decisions with a clear understanding of both opportunities and risks.

Shell will use Petrel software powered by advanced AI to deliver seismic interpretation workflows. The deployment aims to standardise infrastructure and workflows and accelerate scalable digital solutions, helping to improve cost operating efficiencies. This collaboration will use the deployment as the foundation for integrated geoscience workflows to further advance understanding of the subsurface across the asset lifecycle.

Petrel software is compliant with the OSDU® Technical Standard – a global data standard derived from industry-led initiatives to enable subsurface data for the digital age and further enhanced by SLB’s significant code donations to the open standard.

“With a common focus on joint innovation, including seismic interpretation for both traditional E&P and energy transition workflows, the partnership will support Shell’s digital transformation journey,” said Rakesh Jaggi, president, Digital & Integration, SLB. “We are dedicated to advancing digital technology and AI for subsurface applications, offering new insights and opportunities to our customers.”
