Schlumberger & Co. empowered with ICT

On December 12th, 2023, a group of 19 eager students accompanied by a teacher embarked on a visit to Schlumberger & Co. with the aim of gaining insights into the IT applications deployed by the company.

Students arrived at the site on time and, upon registering at the guard house, were warmly greeted by Mr. Mohammed Al Azri and Ms. Zeyana Al Rawahi, Onsite Support Analysts.

HSE (Health, Safety, and Environment) Induction: Mr. Talal Al Busaidi, the HSE Manager, provided a concise introduction regarding their environment, various zones, assembly points, and safety protocols in each zone.

Following the HSE Introduction, Mr. Mohammed Al Azri delivered a presentation encompassing a General Overview of Schlumberger, its Access Control System (ePACS), SAP-based Inventory Management, and Truck Monitoring systems. Additionally, he covered iBase, ePTW, Ecosystems MTM TLM.

ePACS: Access control systems are electronic mechanisms automating the approval process for authorized staff/individuals to enter specific areas/zones. This eliminates the need for manual review by a security officer, typically executed through presenting a credential (eCard) for system verification.

ventory Management System: A SAP-based Inventory Management system serves as a comprehensive wireless solution for managing inventory. It offers tools to enhance inventory levels, streamline customer order fulfillment, and track material movements using mobile devices equipped with barcode scanning capabilities.

Smart Storage Systems: An automated vertical warehouse system is designed for storing a diverse range of goods/parts of varying sizes, from micro to large and heavy parts utilized in the petroleum industry. High-density mobile Shelving optimizes space utilization by halving storage floor space compared to static shelves, enabling centralized storage to enhance material flow.

Other Applications: Schlumberger utilizes a couple of apps from Office 365 to facilitate various tasks.
