EcoShield Geopolymer Cement-Free System Minimizes Well Construction CO₂ Footprint

During the quarter, SLB introduced the EcoShield geopolymer cement-free system that minimizes the CO₂ footprint of a well's construction. This innovative technology eliminates up to 85% of embodied CO₂ emissions compared with conventional well cementing systems, which include portland cement. The EcoShield system has the potential to avoid up to 5 million metric tons of CO₂ emissions annually, the equivalent of removing 1.1 million cars from the road each year. The EcoShield system uses locally sourced natural materials and industrial waste streams in its composition, making this a far more sustainable well integrity method. The cement-free system can be deployed throughout various phases of the well life cycle, including abandonment, and across a range of field applications, including in corrosive environments.
