Schlumberger has acquired Rock Deformation Research (RDR), a UK firm that specialises in geological software development and structural geology consultancy for the oil and gas industry.
The oilfield services major said the acquisition of RDR will allow it to provide customers with an integrated solution to address fault and structural geological exploration and development challenges.
Core software product development and consulting services will remain in Leeds, where most of the approximately 40 RDR employees are based.
