Introducing the next generation of logging services

We’re revolutionizing formation evaluation. Powered by onboard SLB intelligence, the OnWave™ autonomous logging platform deploys autonomously and collects critical subsurface data to help you make better, faster decisions—even in historically challenging tight gas and unconventional reservoirs.

At the forefront of formation evaluation, the OnWave platform brings more than a century of wireline expertise to log your most complex assets. It’s the first technology of its kind to combine an innovative, cable-free conveyance system with fully autonomous logging capabilities. The result? Lower risk, greater efficiency, reduced carbon emissions, and unmatched versatility—all with the industry’s most comprehensive portfolio of proven formation evaluation measurement tools.

Cutting-edge conveyance meets intelligent insights

The OnWave platform brings new possibilities to downhole data acquisition by making formation evaluation faster, safer, and easier than ever before.

1. Placed directly into the drillpipe, the OnWave platform travels to a downhole landing sub, propelled by either gravity or mud flow.
2. Once deployed, the OnWave platform operates independently—autonomously landing, observing, and confirming secure placement.
3. The OnWave platform self-configures and rigorously tests its systems before proceeding to capture critical subsurface data. During this phase, the drillpipe can be rotated and circulated as needed, ensuring continuous well control and maximum operational flexibility.
4. Throughout logging operations, the platform communicates with the surface to provide real-time status updates and commence tripping out.
5. The final step involves streaming acquired data to the SLB collaborative cloud, where it undergoes intelligent processing and interpretation. This data can be viewed on demand, for real-time insights and informed decision making.
