Schlumberger Middle East SA (Saudi Arabia)

Schlumberger Middle East SA (Saudi Arabia) is the Saudi Arabian operating entity of SLB, the global energy technology company formerly known as Schlumberger. It is based in Dammam, in Saudi Arabia's Eastern Province, at the heart of the Kingdom's oil and gas industry. As part of SLB's global footprint spanning more than 100 countries, the entity supports oil and gas operators, national oil companies, and industrial customers across the Kingdom and the wider Middle East. SLB describes itself as a global technology company driving energy innovation for a balanced planet. Its purpose is to create technology that unlocks access to energy for the benefit of all, and it works across four broad areas: innovating in oil and gas, delivering digital and AI at scale, decarbonizing industry, and scaling new energy systems. The Saudi entity brings these capabilities to one of the world's most important energy-producing regions. The company's products and services span the full oil and gas value chain, including reservoir characterization, well construction, completions, production, well intervention, and plug and abandonment, alongside integrated services. It also offers digital and AI solutions such as the Tela agentic-AI assistant, subsurface planning, drilling and production data services, and edge AI and IoT. In sustainability and carbon management, SLB provides methane emissions management, flaring reduction, and carbon capture, utilization, and sequestration (CCUS), as well as emerging new energy offerings in geothermal, energy storage, hydrogen, and lithium. SLB has a long history in the Middle East and marked its centennial in the early 2020s, celebrating 100 years of driving energy innovation. The Saudi entity is part of that legacy, serving customers such as Saudi Aramco. In 2026, SLB announced it was awarded four multi-year integrated well construction contracts by Aramco, underscoring the scale of its operations in the Kingdom. The entity operates as a subsidiary within the SLB group, whose parent company is publicly listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker SLB.

The company marked its centennial in the early 2020s, celebrating "100 Years of Driving Energy Innovation." According to SLB, throughout the last century it has continually adapted to meet the evolving needs of its customers and partners, with innovation at its core. The company grew into one of the world's largest oilfield services and technology providers, with a global footprint in more than 100 countries and employees representing almost twice as many nationalities. Its operations span the entire energy landscape, from oil and gas to digital, decarbonization, and new energy systems.

SLB has also expanded beyond traditional oilfield services. It has invested in digital and AI capabilities, launching offerings such as the Tela agentic-AI assistant, and in sustainability and carbon management, including methane emissions management, flaring reduction, and CCUS. It is also developing new energy businesses in geothermal, energy storage, hydrogen, and lithium.
