In 1926 they founded Schlumberger which is the world’s leading supplier of technology, integrated project management and information solutions to the international oil and gas exploration and production industry.
Schlumberger also involved in the groundwater extraction and carbon capture and storage industries.
In 1927 they employed electrical resistivity to log a borehole in the Pechelbronn oilfield in France and over the next decade consistently pioneered new borehole logging technique and expanded Schlumberger, making their company the dominant force in an enormous oil industry market.
In 1929, the brothers took their novel technique to the United States and applied it there to logging wells in the nascent Texas oil industry. Today, the Company employed approximately 100, 000 people of over 140 nationalities operating in approximately 85 countries.
