SLB says that it will oversee the delivery of 18 ultradeepwater wells using an integrated services approach and AI-enabled drilling capabilities to improve operational efficiency and well quality.
The full scope of the contract includes digital directional drilling services and hardware, logging while drilling, surface logging, cementing, drilling and completions fluids, completions, and wireline services.
Services will begin in early 2026 and be managed through SLB’s Performance Live digital service delivery centers. This contract follows another major contract from Woodside for the Trion development to the SLB OneSubsea joint venture in 2023, which includes subsea horizontal trees, controls and topside equipment. Manufacturing is currently on track.
Woodside is developing the field in partnership with Pemex. First production is targeted in 2028.
