Case Study: PetroSA enhances subsurface decision making with SLB's collaborative visualization environment

Collaborative Visualization Environment Enhances Exploration at PetroSA

PetroSA worked with SLB to improve exploration efficiency, subsurface model quality, and geoscience decision making by breaking down barriers between exploration and operations. The company wanted better collaboration and visualization technology to support real-time and subsurface decisions in its New Ventures Upstream division.

SLB designed and built a bespoke Collaboration and Visualization Environment (CVE) for PetroSA, including collaboration, mentoring, and break-out zones, user-friendly visualization tools, onsite training, and ongoing consultancy. The new environment improved confidence in subsurface modeling, sped up decision making, reduced drilling risk by bringing rig data into models in real time, and accelerated knowledge transfer between graduates and experienced staff.
