Reported result

Wells using Aqueon: >7,500 (Vendor-reported)

What this does not establish

SLB plans Delfi/Lumi integration; acquisition close is verified, but completed technical integration and customer deployment are not. 7,500+ wells is vendor-reported installed scope, not independent outcome validation.

Analyst inference: A strategically relevant physics-plus-ML workflow complements strategic simulators with faster operational scenario analysis; value depends on integration and field adoption.
