SLB officially launched its latest reservoir mapping and drilling intelligence tool, AlphaSight, aimed at increasing visibility and control in complex drilling environments.

The 3D multidepth horizontal look-ahead-while-drilling service is designed to help operators see and understand reservoir structure in real time. SLB says the platform has been used successfully in the Middle East, the North Sea, North America, and Asia.

“AlphaSight is the cornerstone of our new Sight family of advanced measurement solutions, marking a true breakthrough in geosteering technology,” said Cecilia Prieto, SLB’s president of well construction. “It’s not just an incremental improvement but a complete transformation in well placement. With unprecedented resolution, depth, and look-ahead capabilities, AlphaSight empowers operators with clarity to make more confident decisions and achieve greater production than ever before.”

SLB says the platform expands petrophysical insight at greater depths than before, using the industry’s shortest extra-deep azimuthal resistivity sensor located close to the drill bit. Downhole computation provides real-time information, facilitating geosteering, and advancing the transition toward digital and autonomous drilling.
