SLB (Schlumberger) NGI tool (Next Generation Imager) is a high-resolution borehole imaging tool designed to replace legacy systems like the Dual OBMI (Oil-Based Microimager). It is primarily used for formation evaluation in wells drilled with oil-based mud (OBM).
As of 2025-2026, Schlumberger (now SLB) continues to evolve the NGI platform. The roadmap includes: schlumberger ngi tool
: Designed to record data while moving both up and down the borehole. Downlogging helps reduce "stick-slip" effects that often blur images, saving rig time. Photorealistic Visualization SLB (Schlumberger) NGI tool (Next Generation Imager) is
