Technology Specialist

Come join us at SLB New Energy and be part of a global company driving energy innovation for a balanced planet.

We launched SLB New Energy in 2020 to apply our domain expertise in areas adjacent to our existing activities and leverage our global footprint and execution platform to realize new energy and transition opportunities at scale. Using partnership models and our experience in technology industrialization, we are expanding into energy verticals beyond oil and gas. The diverse New Energy portfolio includes ventures in carbon capture and sequestration, energy storage, geothermal power, geoenergy for heating and cooling, sustainable battery-grade lithium, and hydrogen as an energy carrier.

SLB Capturi is a joint venture between SLB New energy and Aker Carbon Capture. We are a key player in the global effort to combat climate change by accelerating the deployment of commercial-ready carbon capture technology and advancing next-generation innovations. We thrive to make decarbonization a reality by delivering impact at scale with proven, modular, implementation-ready carbon capture technology that meet the diverse needs of various industrial sectors. Our portfolio ranges from the modular, cost-efficient Just CatchTM systems to the highly adaptable Big CatchTM solutions, capable of being configured to handle any volume of emissions. This modularity ensures efficient integration and optimization, empowering industries to meet their decarbonization goals with flexibility and precision. The technologies have been tested across multiple and diverse flue gases from industrial processes, to ensure reliability and efficiency in a wide range of industry segments. Today, we lead many ongoing projects, from research and innovation, including pilot plant testing, to concept studies and to large EPC projects, both in Europe and in the United States.
