Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corporation (JOGMEC), formerly Japan National Oil Corporation (JNOC), and
Schlumberger collaborated on a research project to develop LWD technology that reduces the need for traditional
chemical sources. Designed around the pulsed neutron generator (PNG), NeoScope and EcoScope services use
technology that resulted from this collaboration. The PNG and the comprehensive suite of measurements in a single
collar are key components of the NeoScope and EcoScope services that deliver game-changing LWD technology.
