Schlumberger OFM 2025 (Oil Field Manager, now under Sensia/SLB) is the powerful well and reservoir analysis software for production surveillance, performance optimization, and data-driven decision-making in oil and gas fields. The 2025 release (including updates like 25.1) emphasizes a 64-bit architecture for handling large datasets, new visualization tools, performance boosts, and enhanced usability to support engineers in analyzing production/injection data, decline curve analysis (DCA), forecasting, mapping, and custom workflows. OFM integrates seamlessly with tools like Petrel, Peep, and SQL databases for end-to-end field management, turning raw data into actionable insights for improved recovery and operational efficiency.
