When did the term digital oilfield enter Schlumberger language?
Schlumberger has been involved in real-time monitoring and delivery of data from the well site since the late 1970s. In its infancy it entailed satellite transmission of wireline log data from our CSU (Cyber Service Unit) immediately after a survey, to a central Schlumberger hub for delivery to a remote client’s office. This enabled quick decision making by remote experts, and feedback to client’s well site witness about further well work.
