High Temperature Drilling Operations
Schlumberger is the most experienced high temperature (HT) service provider in the world
with a suite of best-in-class technologies, procedures, and high-temperature-certified
engineers. We provide DD/MLWD services, turbodrills, hydraulic jars, and drilling fluids
for high-temperature environments.
Our drilling services have successful track records for high-temperature applications, and
our Field Engineers and Maintenance Personnel are fully HT certified. Before and after
each job, tools undergo rigorous maintenance, using the HT Drilling Maintenance
Procedures to ensure optimal performance. Field personnel conduct operations according
to stringent HT Drilling Operations Procedures.
An Industry Challenge
High temperatures can cause severe damage to downhole tool components,
which include sensors for direction and inclination, gamma ray, annular
pressure while drilling, complex LWD measurements, elastomer dynamic
seals, lithium batteries, and electronic components and the boards on which
they are mounted.

The second most active region for HT drilling—after the US—is
China, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Gulf of Thailand. Although HT
challenges vary greatly from country to country, our unique geographical
presence in this area and our wide range of HT services enable us to
