 Pechelbronn-Alsace, 1927
Henri Doll, in a 500-meter deep well in the
Pechelbronn field (Alsace), recorded, point
by point, meter by meter, the first "electric
log," in the history of the petroleum industry.
The resistivity recordings proved to be

perfectly repeatable in neighboring wells,
enabling precise correlation of formations
across an entire field.

• What does it do?
– Leverages the knowledge of technology centers to directly support operations

Schlumberger Private
• Why?
– Increases efficiency by removing “clutter” between technology centers and the field
– Gives Schlumberger competitive edge in the support and deployment of technology
with user-friendly IT tools
– Creates a centralized knowledge-based organization
