The search for oil and gas has three objectives: to identify and evaluate hydrocarbon-bearing reservoirs; to bring hydrocarbons to the surface safely and cost-effectively, without harming the environment; and to maximize the yield from each discovery. These objectives can be advanced only by ongoing research into all aspects of the exploration, drilling, and production processes.

Since it first established a research laboratory in 1948 in Ridgefield, Connecticut, USA, Schlumberger has maintained an unwavering, long-term commitment to research. Schlumberger research has grown geographically and in its range of disciplines into a global network of research centers, expressly to tap into the astonishing breadth and diversity of technology innovation in the 21st century.
