en.Wedoany.com Reported - SLB has reached an agreement to acquire Tachyus, a reservoir modeling and optimization software developer headquartered in Houston, USA, for an undisclosed amount. The move aims to expand SLB's digital oilfield technology portfolio, adding new tools for data-driven decision-making in reservoir management.
Tachyus' software platform combines machine learning and physics-based modeling to evaluate reservoir performance under changing operating conditions. Its flagship product, Aqueon, has been deployed in over 7,500 wells globally, assisting oil and gas operators with tasks such as waterflood management, production optimization, pressure prediction, brine treatment, and enhanced oil recovery. SLB stated that the acquisition will add new capabilities to its existing digital platform. According to the company, Tachyus' technology enables rapid scenario analysis, allowing reservoir and production teams to make tactical decisions and adjust strategies within minutes as asset conditions change.
The company emphasized that operators are increasingly demanding continuous reservoir management solutions that support both short-term operational adjustments and long-term field development goals. Rakesh Jaggi, President of SLB's Digital Business, noted that reservoir management is becoming more dynamic as operators seek to maximize recovery from existing assets. The addition of Tachyus will enhance SLB's ability to deliver operational reservoir management workflows, helping customers manage and optimize complex enhanced oil recovery programs.
SLB plans to integrate Tachyus' applications into its Delfi digital platform and Lumi data and AI platform, aiming to create unified reservoir and production management workflows. The company stated that the acquisition will also bring additional expertise in reservoir engineering, data science, and software development to its digital division. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to be completed shortly after signing.
Founded in 2014, Tachyus focuses on operational optimization in the oil and gas industry. The company claims that its Aqueon platform, powered by proprietary data-physics engines, has helped global customers increase production, reduce costs, and lower greenhouse gas emissions. In addition to waterflood optimization, the platform has recently expanded to include CO₂ enhanced oil recovery modeling, a feature Tachyus reports is already being used by major U.S. operators. Tachyus entered the environmental, social, and governance market in 2022 through Aurion, a software product designed to estimate, forecast, and report greenhouse gas emissions in industries such as oil and gas. According to Tachyus, Aurion has gained over 20 customers in the United States, the Middle East, and Latin America since its launch.
In its recent financial results, SLB reported net income attributable to the company of $752 million for the first quarter of 2026, down 6% from $797 million in the same period last year. For the quarter ended March 31, 2026, the company's revenue was $8.72 billion, up 3% from $8.49 billion in the prior-year period. SLB also recently announced an expanded partnership with Vår Energi, which will use the Delfi platform to support well and field development planning on the Norwegian Continental Shelf.
