A bit of Schlumberger’s history

Founded in 1926 in France, Schlumberger was known as the Electric Prospecting Company. In 1927, it made the very first electrical resistivity well log in Merkwiller-Pechelbronn, France. Quickly expanding, the company soon logged its first well in the United States.

>In 1935 the company launched its business in Houston as the Schlumberger Well Surveying Corporation. Later it was rebranded and got the name Schlumberger Well Services, and finally Schlumberger Wireline & Testing.

In 1948, heavily investing in research, the company started the Schlumberger-Doll Research Center in Ridgefield, Connecticut, that greatly contributed to the development of a number of new logging tools. Schlumberger Limited was established in 1956 as a holding company that united all the Schlumberger’s businesses.

Who founded Schlumberger?

The first global well logging company was founded by the brothers Conrad and Marcel Schlumberger. Conrad was a physicist, graduating from École Polytechnique in 1900, Marcel became an engineer, graduating from École Centrale Paris in 1907.

In 2010, Conrad Schlumberger started teaching at the École des Mines, where he launched tests on what is now known as wireline logging. In 2012, he managed to record the very first map of equipotential curves. The mapping confirmed the capability of this method to detect metal ores and reveal features of the subsurface structure.

In 1919, Marcel started working with Conrad as his partner and over the next decades the company proved its commercial potential.
