SLB will inaugurate its new Integrated Performance Excellence (IPX) Center in Luanda next month.
This is designed to support full life-cycle oil and gas projects in Angola, with a focus on improved production efficiency and reduced production losses, and also maximized economic recovery from developed oil and gas fields.
“This center will effectively handle and support local operators and clients [in Luanda], and in the region as well,” said Rajesh Trivedi, SLB’s Production Workflows business development manager at SLB Europe and Africa.
Last September SLB released its Lumi Platform, supporting integrated upstream and midstream operations with data from AI models to assist decision-making for Angola’s oil and gas industry.
The company has also merged 11 datasets over the offshore Kwanza Basin into one package covering 40,000 sq km. It will be available to parties interested in Angola’s 2025 Bid Round, which is due to be staged in early 2025.
SLB’s exploration lead Europe and Africa, Sugandha Tewari, said, “Through the new dataset, we can now see beyond different blocks and identify issues we may encounter. We have generated coherent data, whereby we can revisit our understanding of the basin.
“This helps us identify potential leads and prospects across the different countries and blocks. Our regional 3D surveys have allowed us to interpret with much more confidence.”
The reprocessed data across the Golfinho field helped TotalEnergies and its partners to proceed with their deepwater Kaminho project.
