SLB and Vår Energi Expand Digital Collaboration to Scale Well and Integrated Field Development Planning

Global energy technology company SLB (NYSE: SLB) today announced an expanded collaboration with Vår Energi to scale well planning and integrated field development planning across its Norwegian Continental Shelf operations. With collaborative well planning already reducing cycle times from months to days and integrated field development planning expected to support similar benefits, the expanded deployment is designed to support faster, more consistent decision-making as operators work to sustain production from mature offshore assets while managing increasing development complexity.

As part of the expanded collaboration, Vår Energi is deploying the Delfi™ digital platform to connect exploration, subsurface evaluation, well planning, subsea design, field development planning, and production in a cloud-native environment. By enabling teams to work concurrently using shared data and standardized workflows, the approach reduces handoffs and rework and supports more consistent, timely decision-making from early evaluation through development planning.

“As offshore developments become more complex, performance increasingly depends on how quickly teams can align, evaluate options and make decisions using trusted data,” said Rakesh Jaggi, president of SLB’s digital business. “By bringing disciplines together in an integrated digital environment, operators can shorten planning cycles and improve the speed and quality of decisions needed to progress opportunities, including marginal subsea tiebacks.”

The expanded collaboration reflects a broader shift toward cloud-based planning approaches that help operators reduce time between key development milestones, improve coordination across disciplines and maximize value from existing resources in mature basins.

Key Points:

• SLB and Vår Energi are scaling digital field development planning on the Delfi™ digital platform across the Norwegian Continental Shelf to improve progression from discovery to development.
• Validation reduced planning cycle times from months to weeks, demonstrating measurable impact at scale.
• Under the agreement, Vår Energi is deploying the Delfi™ digital platform to connect exploration, subsurface evaluation, well planning, subsea design, field development planning, and production in a cloud-native environment.
• Standardized, integrated workflows enable concurrent cross-discipline work, reducing handoffs and rework while improving timely, trusted-data decisions for mature offshore assets, including marginal subsea tiebacks.
