With a vision of paving the path to net zero and beyond, SLB is seeking suppliers capable of providing inspection and certification services in accordance with industry-leading standards.
Key requirements outlined in the RFI include performing inspection and certification services, field evaluation, quality assurance, and technical assurance. All testing labs are expected to adhere to recognized protocols such as ASTM, ISO, and API standards. Additionally, specific tests, including but not limited to phenols in water, fuel oil analysis, pour point determination, and viscosity measurements, are specified in the RFI.
