Schlumberger
Provided Kubernetes expertise and cloud-native architecture guidance for Schlumberger's next-generation E&P software platform — the flagship offering from the O&G industry's leading software provider with two decades of market dominance.
Challenge
Schlumberger has led the oil and gas software market for over 20 years. Modernizing their E&P software platform to cloud-native architecture — while maintaining that market position — required expertise across both Kubernetes at depth and the specialized requirements of O&G industry applications.
The engagement involved multiple applications simultaneously, each with its own architecture requirements and dependencies.
Approach
Delivered architecture overviews and Kubernetes guidance across multiple concurrent cloud-native application projects. The approach required consistency and coordination — establishing patterns that would work across the portfolio, not just for individual applications in isolation.
Applied container orchestration expertise specifically to E&P software requirements: industry-specific compliance considerations, performance characteristics of geoscience workloads, and the operational patterns of a global software provider serving demanding enterprise clients.
Results
Architecture guidance delivered across multiple critical platform applications, establishing the cloud-native foundation for Schlumberger’s next-generation E&P platform.
