What started as the bold vision of an SLB researcher—to create more than a tool but a
whole new domain of formation insight—has now evolved into one of the industry’s most advanced reservoir
characterization platforms.
With the support of hundreds of SLB experts worldwide, the Ora™ intelligent wireline formation testing
platform remains as pioneering today as the day it was conceived, delivering smarter, cleaner operations
for a rapidly changing energy landscape.
We've come a long way from opening our
first research lab in 1948 to becoming a
truly global technology company.
