Schlumberger has participated in the Carbon Disclosure 
Project since 2005.  In 2012, third-party auditing of the  
company’s emissions accounting began and the company’s  
disclosure score has risen with the effects of mitigation  
plans and improvements in data capture and quality.  

In 2014, increased North American Well Services emissions 
were due to increased activity as business conditions improved. 
These, however,  were largely offset by decreased WesternGeco 
emissions as marine seismic activity slowed and benefits were 
realized from the marine energy management plan. 

The largest contributors to global Schlumberger emissions

has led to the inclusion of the amount of emissions being 
stated as a function of total revenue as well as per employee 
per year. This brings the figures presented in this report into 
line with other company external disclosures.

Letter to Shareholders

Schlumberger revenue for 2014 reached a record $48.6 billion, up 

7% and growing for the fifth consecutive year. In North America, 

revenue surged by more than $2.3 billion, driven by strong activity 

both on land and offshore as well as by the penetration of innovative 

hydraulic stimulation technologies. International revenue increased 

by $1.2 billion, or 4%, on significant strength in the Middle East & 

Asia and in spite of considerable headwinds in the face of activity 

challenges, geopolitical unrest, falling oil prices, and international 

sanctions elsewhere. 

Oil markets remained relatively well balanced during 2014 as increasing global 
production capacity almost matched increasing demand. Yet, after more than 
three years of remarkable stability, oil prices dropped dramatically by more than 
40% late in the year to end at their lowest levels since 2009. But unlike the previous fall in price that was triggered by 
a global economic recession, this year’s drop resulted from a higher marketed supply of oil that became increasingly 
evident as North American tight oil production continued to grow and as OPEC shifted focus from protecting oil 
prices to protecting market share. At the same time, production recovered in countries that had suffered degrees of 
geopolitical disturbance, and the US dollar strengthened to further weaken overall commodity prices.

Paal Kibsgaard 
Chief Executive Officer

In natural gas markets, US prices reached multiyear highs in February on exceptionally cold weather and risks of local 
supply shortages. Storage, however, returned to historical average levels at the end of the year as sustained production 
growth in the Marcellus play and increasing associated gas production in US tight oil plays more than offset the impact 
of low activity levels in other unconventional plays. Overall, these increasing supplies more than met growing demand. 
Internationally, natural gas prices eased broadly in 2014 on mild temperatures in Europe, LNG capacity additions in 
the Pacific region, and the impact of weaker oil prices on oil-indexed natural gas pricing formulas.

Against this background, Schlumberger performance in 2014 was led by North America, where revenue grew by 
16% on robust land activity and increased service intensity, market share gains, and new technology penetration. 
Offshore operations, however, suffered from a number of operational delays that affected drilling and exploration 
activity in particular. The 4% growth in International revenue was led by activity in a number of key markets, both on 
land and offshore. Middle East & Asia grew by 10%, driven by Saudi Arabia, Australia, the United Arab Emirates, and 
Oman.  Revenue in Europe, the CIS & Africa improved by 1%, led by the Sub-Saharan region on strong exploration 
and development activities in the Central West Africa, Angola, and Continental Europe GeoMarket* regions. Norway 
also showed strong growth through market share gains and higher rig-related services for a number of customers. In 
Latin America, however, revenue slipped by 1% as strong activity in Venezuela and Ecuador was unable to compensate 
for lower activity and pricing in both Brazil and Mexico. As one measure of our ability to outperform the markets in 
which we operate, our operating income grew by 13% versus 2013, with more than 70% of that growth coming from 
International activity.

Product  Group  performance  was  led  by  the  Drilling  Group,  mainly  as  a  result  of  robust  demand  for  Drilling  & 
Measurements and M-I SWACO technologies as activity strengthened in the North America and Middle East & Asia 
Areas. Rig revenue from the May 2014 acquisition of Saxon, a key component of our Integrated Project Management 
operations, also contributed to Drilling Group growth. The Production Group benefited from strong results in Well 
Services, where pressure pumping activity increased through market share gains, operational efficiency improvements, 
and new technology introduction. Schlumberger Production Management 
grew as projects in Latin America, particularly in Ecuador, continued to 
progress in line with our plan. Production Group activity was also boosted 
by our expansion in the Artificial Lift business as we added a number of 
regional acquisitions—both in operations and in equipment design and 
production—to  our  portfolio.  Strength  in  the  Drilling  and  Production 
Groups was, however, offset by a slight fall in Reservoir Characterization 
Group revenue. While Well Testing activity expanded on higher exploration 
work and software sales increased in all Areas, weakness in the seismic 
market lowered marine vessel utilization and reduced multiclient seismic 
data license sales.

In terms of health, safety, and the environment, our performance continued 
to improve in 2014 with a strong focus on driving and journey management. 
We also made good progress toward our overall goal of reducing our accident 
injury  rate,  which  decreased  by  16%  compared  with  the  previous  year. 
Despite this focus, we suffered three fatalities directly related to driving 
during the year and we will continue to make this a safety priority in the 
future. To guard against the risks that land road journeys present, we have 
continued deployment of our Global Journey Management Centers around 
the world, and we can now monitor and control 94% of all trips made in 
countries we consider to exhibit medium and high driving risk. We believe 
that the surveillance and support that the Journey Management program 
provides will further improve our performance over the next few years.

New technology sales remained strong across all Groups during the year, 
reaching more than 27% of total sales and increasing effective pricing in 
almost all regions. Among the new technologies introduced during the year, 
the Wireline Quanta Geo* photorealistic reservoir geology service—the 
latest in a series of formation imaging devices that we have developed over 
30 years—uses novel microelectrical techniques to produce detailed images 
of rock formations in wells drilled with nonconductive fluids while Drilling 
& Measurements GeoSphere* real-time reservoir mapping technology helps 
position wells in reservoir sweet spots by mapping zones up to 100 feet from the well. New production technologies 
included  the  innovative  Well  Services  BroadBand  Sequence*  and  BroadBand  Precision*  pressure  pumping 
stimulation services that help ensure that each fractured zone contributes effectively and efficiently to each well’s 
production. As commodity prices constrain industry performance, these and other services exemplify the need to 
change the way we work by accelerating the pace of technology innovation, while delivering new levels of efficiency 
and reliability in the oilfield market.

These and other initiatives form the performance drivers of the transformation program that we unveiled at our 
investor conference in New York in June. Even without the dramatic fall in oil price that reduced customer investment 
levels and cut field activity from the middle of the fourth quarter onward, the delivery of new technology to improve 
the performance of our customers’ reservoirs and the increases in efficiency and reliability that reduce overall finding, 
development, and production costs coupled with the opportunities for growth that greater integration bring already 
established a strong foundation for Schlumberger to outperform the market. By now accelerating our progress against 
transformational goals that are independent of the macroeconomic environment—by targeting a tenfold reduction in 
operational nonproductive time, a 
doubling in asset utilization, a 20% 
increase in workforce productivity, 
and  a  10%  lowering  of  support 
costs—we will be able to further 
extend our market leadership.

As we enter 2015, the commodity 
price  trends  that  have  resulted 
from  the  increased  marketed 
supply  of  oil  raise  short-term 
uncertainty  on  customer  spend 
and activity. However, we believe 
that  the  oil  markets  are  in  fact 
relatively well balanced and that 
increasing  global  production 
capacity is in line with the growth in demand that results from continuing global economic recovery. In the longer term, 
decline rates will impact production capacity and weaker exploration will delay supply additions—the combination of 
which will ultimately lead to tighter market conditions and consequently drive increasing investment. 

In an uncertain environment, we are highly focused on the things we can control, and we have already restructured 
and resized our business to match the activity levels we expect in the early part of the year. We anticipate 2015 being 
full of opportunities, on which we fully intend to capitalize, and with our wide geographical footprint, extensive 
business portfolio, and clear financial strength, we remain confident in our ability to outperform in any part of the 
cycle—including the current leg.

In closing, I would like to thank our customers for their confidence and support, and our employees for their 
commitment and focus.

Oil and natural gas meet about half of the world’s primary energy demand, 

and are expected to do so for the next 25 years. However, the combination 

of an aging production base requiring continuous investment and the addi-

tion of new production in an environment of lower commodity prices is put-

ting pressure on profitability. To remain a supplier of cost-effective energy, 

the exploration and production industry must improve its performance. 

As the custodians of hydrocarbon resources, oil and gas companies direct the technical 

workflow. In turn, the service industry develops and deploys most of the technology 

required across increasingly complex oilfield developments. Given the challenge to 

improve performance, we at Schlumberger believe that we must change the way we 

work. Earlier this year, we laid out our plans to make a step change in our performance 

in four distinct ways—accelerating technology innovation, improving technical reli-

ability, increasing operational efficiency, and pursuing greater integration. These are 

the drivers of our market leadership and differentiation, with innovative technology and 

greater integration accelerating revenue growth, and reliability and efficiency lowering 

the cost of service delivery. The result is financial outperformance—for Schlumberger 

and its customers.

The oilfield service industry’s research and engineering investment has developed 

evolutionary products that do things better and more cost-effectively. But considering 

the rate of technology change in other industries, upstream technology can become 

more innovative and be developed more efficiently and much faster. 

The benefit to the customer will be lower cost for each barrel of oil or cubic meter of gas produced. 

To help accomplish this, Schlumberger is accelerating the pace of technology innovation through 

two strategic initiatives: the expansion of our network of innovation, and the successful six-year 

transformation of the Schlumberger research and engineering (R&E) organization.

Expanding our network of innovation came from the realiza-
tion that we do not have a monopoly on good ideas. Indeed 
many opportunities arise from combining external sources 
of innovation with  our  strong internal research and engi-
neering capabilities. This is evident through our long-stand-
ing engagement with academia as well as with traditional 
Schlumberger customers and partners within the industry, an 
interaction that we are increasingly broadening to include 
leading companies from outside our industry. 

hospital. Given that the origin of oilfield MRI was the med-
ical world, this is a remarkable example of the information 
exchange from medicine to oil and gas and back to medicine.
Collaborations  such  as  these  stem  from  Schlumberger 
actively establishing and maintaining close relationships with 
leading universities over the past 30 years. To further develop 
these relationships, Schlumberger has located research lab-
oratories as close as possible to universities as widespread as 
the US, Brazil, Russia, Saudi Arabia, and China. 

Innovating with Academia
We currently participate in more than 250 university collab-
orations in technical fields as varied as earth science, petro-
leum technology, information technology, software, cognitive 
science, and user interfaces.

A typical example of oilfield innovation comes from our 
collaboration on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with 
the University of Cambridge, UK, and Massachusetts General 
Hospital in Boston. The application of MRI to the oilfield is 
not new—wireline logging tools have used the technique for 
more than 30 years. But a new approach is the application 
of MRI to image oil recovery with a bench-top system using 
methods developed over multiyear projects with the univer-
sity, making it possible to acquire images in only 20 minutes 
from rock core-plug samples flooded with brine. At the same 
time, we discovered that techniques that we developed for 
the oil field can enhance medical scan interpretation in the 

Using Mergers and Acquisitions as a Source of Innovation
One  of  our  unique  strengths  is  the  ability  to  identify  the 
right merger and acquisition (M&A) targets, close them in 
a timely manner, and then successfully integrate them into 
Schlumberger—while leveraging the process as a source of 
innovation. Our M&A activity ranges from large acquisitions 
such  as  Smith  International  to  early-phase  investment  in 
small  start-ups.  Over  more  than  20  years,  we  have  estab-
lished  a  track  record  of  successful  acquisitions  that  have 
increased technology offerings, expanded markets, and built 
product-line leadership. While it is evident that M&A activity 
adds scale, its main objective is to bring customers the most 
complete range of innovative technology and services. 

The development of market-leading Stinger* conical dia-
mond element drillbit technology exemplifies this approach. 
The acquisitions of Novadrill as a disruptive technology, Lyng 
Drilling as a specialist manufacturer, and Smith International

as a leading drillbit supplier—backed by the strength and 
expertise of the Schlumberger R&E organization—led to the 
successful introduction of innovative bits incorporating the 
Stinger element in 2012. The latest generation of StingBlade* 
conical diamond element bits, launched in mid-2014, not only 
increases  footage  drilled  and  rate  of  penetration  but  also 
improves steerability and directional control. 

Collaborating with Customers for Innovative Advantage
Technology  collaboration  with  major  customers  is  another 
driver of innovation. Our customers bring real-world value to 
projects through their depth of experience and understanding 
of E&P challenges. By combining resources and expertise, we 
can address major industry challenges such as effective field 
development in basins of greater complexity than in the past. 
Today, we have technology collaborations with each of our top 
10 customers.

The recent introduction of the Schlumberger INTERSECT* 
high-resolution reservoir simulator shows how successful col-
laboration breeds innovation. Backed by Chevron and Total, 
the new simulator took more than 10 years of development 
before its commercial launch. Leading experts in reservoir 
characterization,  numerical  modeling,  applied  mathemat-
ics, and high-performance computing as well as staff from 
Stanford and Oxford Universities contributed to the effort. 
Since its commercialization, the INTERSECT simulator has 

been used to model and manage 120 of the most challenging 
oil and gas fields in the world. INTERSECT simulator tech-
nology has significantly improved subsurface modeling and 
understanding for optimizing field development production 
strategies in complex reservoirs.

Partnering with Other Industries to Fuel Further Innovation 
The  size  and  depth  of  our  portfolio  also  offer  opportuni-
ties for innovation through collaboration with other indus-
trial  companies  that  pursue  new  technology  as  keenly  
as  Schlumberger.  For  the  last  seven  years,  for  exam -
ple,  Schlumberger  has  worked  with  nVidia  and  Stanford 
University on the high-performance computing techniques 
that are essential to the success of advanced seismic acqui-
sition systems. In France, home to Saint-Gobain, the world’s 
largest  manufacturer  of  crystal  glass,  a  recent  project  
focused on the joint development of new large-scale crys-
tals for industrial applications. This technology is used by 
the Wireline product line’s Litho Scanner* high-definition 
spectroscopy service—the first logging tool to noninvasively 
measure the total organic content of shale reservoirs down-
hole. This parameter is of vital importance in estimating the 
hydrocarbon potential of such unconventional resources.

Another example comes from the Schlumberger commit-
ment to lead the adoption of industrial applications of the 
Google Glass wearable platform. This technology facilitates

Quanta Geo Photorealistic Reservoir Geology Service 

Improving industry performance through lowering finding 

and development costs presents three key challenges 

in reservoir characterization—reducing subsurface 

risk, characterizing even the most complex reservoirs, 

and building the foundation for optimal production and 

maximum recovery. Schlumberger Reservoir Characterization 

Group technologies achieve this by integrating physical 

measurements with digital workflows and customizing 

solutions for each individual reservoir to advance reservoir 

understanding.

New Quanta Geo photorealistic reservoir geology 

service—the first Wireline technology to fully benefit 

from the R&E transformation—uses novel microelectrical 

techniques to produce detailed images of rock formations 

in wells drilled with nonelectrically conductive drilling fluid. 

The images provide precisely oriented visual representations 

at much greater resolution than surface seismic data. Image 

visualization and geological interpretation are seamlessly 

powered by the Techlog* wellbore software platform to 

complement seismic interpretation, support informed 

decision making, and reduce uncertainty in reservoir 

modeling—enabling customers to move from exploration 

drilling to field development more confidently and with 

lower subsurface risk.

successfully deployed by leading companies in the automo-
tive and aerospace industries. The new R&E system achieves 
three  ambitions:  by  emphasizing  efficient  product  devel-
opment  methodologies  and  product  industrialization,  we 
have reduced cycle time from the idea stage to the mature 
product, supported our accelerating rate of innovation, and 
reduced new product time to market. In addition, we have 
also set a clear goal to make a step change in the reliability 
of our technologies, with a particular emphasis on their out-
of-the-box  performance.  This  is  perhaps  the  most  critical 
element of our R&E transformation.

access to information and knowledge for personnel engaged 
in  equipment  maintenance  and  calibration  as  well  as  in 
field operations so they can perform their tasks as efficiently 
and  effectively  as  possible.  Across  our  R&E  organization, 
Schlumberger  is  engaged  with  more  than  150  technology 
partners, all of which add to the rich global network of inno-
vation we have built around the world and across academia, 
customers, and industries.

Transforming R&E for Strategic Advantage
Realizing the full benefit of accelerating the flow of innova-
tive ideas largely depends on how effectively an R&E organi-
zation can translate them into high-performance, field-ready 
technologies. To ensure that we achieve this strategic advan-
tage, we have transformed both the efficiency and quality of 
the Schlumberger R&E organization.

This  massive  undertaking—costing  the  company  an 
estimated  $350  million—started  six  years  ago  with  the 
benchmarking  of  existing  R&E  processes  against  lead-
ing companies in other industries, followed by a complete 
restructuring of the organization, and finally the develop-
ment and implementation of a new R&E operational system.
The  new  system  was  developed  through  the  concerted 
effort  of  hundreds  of  R&E  professionals  who  worked  on 
rewriting the fundamental processes used to develop and 
manufacture  Schlumberger  products.  We  built  on  our  
traditional  strengths  of  innovation,  science,  and  technol-
ogy  and  complemented  these  with  modern  approaches

Operational failures cost the E&P industry many billions of dollars in nonproductive 

time, project delays, and cost overruns. This performance substantially lags that of 

other high-technology industries, and a tremendous effort is required to match the 

performance of the leading aerospace and automotive companies. 

At the same time, our investment of tens of billions of dollars in technical assets presents a major 

opportunity to markedly improve the overall efficiency with which we operate. The transformation of 

our entire R&E organization accelerates the delivery of innovative technology to drive revenue growth, 

and a similar transformation in equipment reliability and operational efficiency lowers overall cost.

Elevating the performance of oilfield equipment to the level at 
which the automotive industry operates requires decreas-
ing current failure rates by 96%. This can be done only by 
taking a completely new approach to product development 
planning and design as well as to job execution.  

Transforming Reliability—A Step Change in Action
The Schlumberger R&E transformation restructured both 
the organization and processes across our more than 65 engi-
neering, manufacturing and sustaining centers worldwide. 
Our way of working has been changed, from engineering to 
shop floor and from supply chain to technical support.

As a result, a clear, unified methodology and language 
have  been  established,  enhancing  our  ability  to  form  col-
laborative  teams  across  multiple  centers  and  to  optimize 
manufacturing  locations  independently  of  engineering 
location.  To  this  end,  training  courses  developed  in  col-
laboration with the California Institute of Technology and 
University  of  Michigan  on  project  management  and  lean 
manufacturing, respectively, have been attended by more 
than 600 engineering project managers and manufacturing 
professionals. An additional 5,000 engineers were also trained 
on the new methodologies to firmly establish the transforma-
tion throughout the R&E organization. Since the start of the 
transformation more than $350 million have been invested in 
organizational structure, global training, and test facilites. 

Developing Products Concurrently
One  of  the  principal  notions  underlying  the  new  process 
is  concurrent  design  in  which  design  engineers,  software 
developers, and scientists work together from the start of the 
project with specialists in reliability, manufacturability, and 
supply-chain  aspects.  This  concurrent  teamwork  ensures 
that once the new product is introduced, not only does it 
meet its functionality and performance specifications, but it 
is also manufactured from the outset at optimal cost and can 
be deployed worldwide with excellent reliability. 

Modeling and simulation also play key roles in driving 
R&E performance. Their extensive use includes rapid test-
ing and optimized design to explore options and parameter 
combinations before a prototype needs to be built. One of the 
first tools developed with the new process was the Wireline 
Saturn*  3D  radial  probe.  Comprehensive  modeling  con-
ducted for this new fluid sampling service contributed to its 
remarkable out-of-the-box performance and one of the most 
rapid market deployments of any Schlumberger product.

Once  a  prototype  product  has  been  built,  it  undergoes 
extensive testing before being released for commercial service. 
As part of the R&E transformation, we made a considerable 
investment in state-of-the-art test equipment and processes. 
Some installations accelerate subassembly testing while others 
reproduce an oilfield operating environment to rigorously test 
complete systems. More than $120 million has been invested to 
upgrade and expand these in-house capabilities.

PowerDrive Orbit Rotary Steerable System 

Being able to drill the right well, in the right place,  

on time, and on budget is essential for higher industry 

performance. However, this ability requires improving 

drilling efficiency by increasing footage drilled per day 

and eliminating nonproductive time, assuring a high-

quality wellbore that allows easy access to and from 

the reservoir, and optimizing placement of the well with 

real-time quantitative formation evaluation. To meet 

these challenges, the Schlumberger Drilling Group offers 

customers a complete portfolio of products and services 

spanning the market from the drill bit in the well to the rig 

at the surface. 

Precision in steering the well is essential, and 

Schlumberger leads the market with technologies that 

include PowerDrive* rotary steerable systems (RSS). In  

16 years of service, the continually expanding PowerDrive 

RSS family has drilled more than 140 million feet globally— 

more than one trip around the world. The latest-generation 

PowerDrive Orbit* RSS was introduced to the market in 

North America early in 2014, and more than 140 tools are 

now deployed and have drilled more than 350 wells.

With its extended capabilities driven by new 

engineering techniques for validation and verification, 

the PowerDrive Orbit RSS benefited from our R&E 

transformation and in turn has contributed to changing the 

way we work. Its new design techniques and scalability 

features are helping drive more efficient deployment of our 

entire RSS fleet. As a result, we have improved reliability 

and increased asset utilization of our PowerDrive RSS 

armory worldwide by more than 30%, which has led to 

significant savings in capital expenditure.

Operational reliability is furthered by new technologies. Our 
close collaboration with academic institutions and technology 
partners also optimizes process workflows for implementing 
leading-edge technology as well as for learning systems and 
simulation. The partnership we have established around the 
applications of augmented reality platforms is a good example, 
illustrating how our field organization will function in the future. 

Senior Maintenance Technician Zhen Shuai Li and Operations 
Manager Wiejia Li examine a PowerDrive Orbit rotary steer-
able system in the Chengdu base in China.

New product development is also accelerated by empha-
sizing the use of common building blocks across our prod-
uct  lines.  Within  the  R&E  organization,  the  enabling  
technologies group develops and standardizes fundamental 
enabling-technology  platforms  across  the  company.  One 
example  is  a  library  of  standard  microelectronic  building 
blocks  that  are  capable  of  withstanding  temperatures  in 
excess of 400 degF.  These blocks are employed across prod-
uct lines, from Drilling & Measurement to Wireline and from 
Testing Services to Completions.

Driving Operational Reliability Through Process
Just as product reliability begins with good product design, 
process reliability begins with good process design. By learning 
from other industries, we have also transformed our approach 
to the critical processes that have the greatest impact on reli-
ability. One example is the fresh look we have taken at stan-
dard work instructions and operational checklists.

The upgraded standard work instructions are embedded 
in process management applications. This enables rigorously 
monitoring process steps for proper completion and optimal 
efficiency. User feedback and suggestions are captured in 
real time, and the data are consolidated to identify bottle-
necks or reliability concerns that can be addressed. Changes 
can be immediately deployed and made rapidly accessible to 
every user using a variety of intranet applications.

14

2/11/15   11:00 PM

Equipment maintenance also benefits from many aspects 
of improved process design. We have similarly implemented 
best practices from other industries, including changing main-
tenance from a fixed schedule to a condition-based approach 
using sensors in the equipment as well as data related to the 
operating environment. More than two years of testing this 
approach has delivered excellent results. For example, the 
Wireline MDT* modular formation dynamics tester has more 
than doubled its reliability over the past three years.

Improving Reliability by Leveraging Scale
Schlumberger possesses a unique strength in the scale and 
footprint of its global operations. Each month, our product 
lines conduct a total of more than one million operating hours, 
representing a massive reach in serving customer needs as 
well as in identifying market opportunities. Our resource base 
includes 300,000 mobile assets and 2,500 operating facilities, 
and we manage more than 80,000 suppliers. However, to lever-
age scale, not only must you have it, you have to know how to 
use it. The transformation of R&E and the development of ini-
tiatives in operational reliability are prerequisite in improving 
performance and increasing efficiency.

Training for Reliability and Efficiency
While systems and technology provide the foundation for reli-
ability and efficiency, it is the behavior and actions of people 
that really make a difference. Schlumberger is already an 
industry leader in procedural adherence. This is embedded 
in every employee from the first day of employment, but we 
can still do better—first, by again adopting ideas from other 
industries, such as the challenge and response methodology 
of aircraft pilot checklists, and second, by reinforcing proce-
dures across all operations to raise all of them to the same 
level of performance.

A  recent  trial  run  with  our  North  American  operations 
achieved a step change in service reliability—reducing the 
rate  of  well  perforating  misruns  by  more  than  50%  in  the 
space of only a few months. Schlumberger personnel positively 
responded to  these initiatives and took pride  in delivering 
more efficient and reliable field performance.

The  industry  has  conventionally  determined  personnel 
competency based on training records and years of experi-
ence. This must change because there will soon not be enough 
collective years of experience available. The rapid evolution 
of technology also negates years of service as a guarantee of 
relevant experience.

at the Schlumberger Motor Center of Excellence.

Making a Step Change in Reliability

Product-related concerns account for about one-quarter 

of Schlumberger customer-related nonproductive time. 

To achieve a step change in reliability performance, 

Schlumberger is implementing a new approach in product 

development, job planning and design, and job execution.

The Motor Center of Excellence (MCE) in Katy, Texas, 

USA, is one example of how Schlumberger has increased 

product reliability. MCE, built from integrating five separate 

locations after the 2010 Smith International acquisition, 

has introduced best-in-class practices to design higher 

reliability into the drilling motors used to drill directional 

wells. The resulting improvements in motor reliability are 

lowering life cycle costs.

Another example is the MaxFORTE* intervention-

constrained high-reliability electrical submersible pump 

(ESP) system. By incorporating lean methodologies 

from the automotive and aerospace industries into the 

manufacturing process, the “white-glove” assembly line 

in Singapore has elevated the quality and reliability of the 

MaxFORTE ESP system for subsea applications.

Changing the way we work therefore means adopting a 
model that ensures we develop people with a combination of 
skills and proficiency independent of their years of service. 
Schlumberger is known for best-in-class training and devel-
opment programs—a unique strength that we have created 
over more than 40 years. We are now complementing skills 
development  by  adopting  a  rigorous  systematic  approach 
with proficiency validation. 

Making Operations More Efficient
Schlumberger has tens of billions of dollars invested in its 
global  fleet  of  assets,  yet  asset  utilization  levels  are  low 
compared with leading companies in other industries. This 
situation offers an opportunity for change to lower the cost 
of service. Furthermore, the company’s inventory stands at 
close to $5 billion. Even a small improvement in the man-
agement of a global inventory of this magnitude can have a 
material impact on financial results. 

Recognizing that our global inventory is far from opti-
mum, we began by looking at improving its management. 
Raising responsibility for demand planning above the level 
of the operating location and consolidating the number of 
physical stores brought management under the ownership 
of  new  regional  distribution  centers.  This  reorganization 
enabled the reduction of overall stock levels by aggregating 
demand while reducing slow-moving parts and obsolescence 
through better sharing and minimized lead time.

In  a  similar  manner,  changing  asset  utilization  from  
a  decentralized  model  to  a  hub-and-spoke  model,  where  
resourcing  decisions  are  consolidated  at  the  regional  
level,  offers  the  same  advantage  in  reducing  asset  num -
bers.  Since  August  2013,  the  Wireline  product  line  has  
been piloting this approach at Port Klang, Malaysia. In the 
first few months of operation, asset utilization has already 
increased significantly.

Deploying Personnel for Maximum Efficiency
The  advantages  of  hub-and-spoke  resourcing  for  inventory 
and assets have a parallel in workforce assignment efficiency 
for varying activity levels.  Transformation opportunities exist 
through the concepts of multiskilling, crew modularity, and 
remote operations, while support workforce efficiency can be 
maximized through centralized hubs covering a wider area. 

Multiskilling  assigns  responsibilities  across  operations 
more effectively by looking at the various roles performed 
by all Schlumberger crew at the wellsite. It is particularly 

Service Manager Dao Thi Minh Tam prepares wireline  
logging equipment in the Port Klang Center prior to shipment 
to an operational location.

Managing Assets More Efficiently

The Wireline Center for Reliability and Efficiency in Port 

Klang, Malaysia, is where logging tools are maintained 

and prepared for distribution to jobs across the Malaysia, 

Thailand, and Vietnam GeoMarket region. It is also where 

asset utilization has been changed to consolidate resourcing 

decisions to a central team that assesses activity across all 

locations of the GeoMarket region in deploying assets. 

As a result, almost 30% of the asset fleet has been 

released, enabling redistribution of spare equipment to 

other locations and lowering their capex needs. Another 

benefit has been the centralization of maintenance 

expertise, which has improved fleet reliability and reduced 

tool maintenance time.

Transformation like this enables Schlumberger to reduce 

annual capital expenditure as existing fleets are redeployed 

more efficiently. This was the case in 2014, with capex 

expenditure representing 8%–10% of revenue compared 

with 12%–13% in previous years.

BroadBand Unconventional Reservoir Services 

Customer production challenges require a focus on 

operational efficiency and on technologies that improve 

production and increase recovery. Although these 

challenges are common across all reservoir types, the 

scale and dynamics of unconventional plays call for 

different workflows and technologies. Schlumberger 

Production Group BroadBand* unconventional reservoir 

completion services address this need.

The BroadBand Sequence fracturing service enables 

sequentially fracturing multiple clusters in an interval to 

ensure that each contributes to production. The key is an 

engineered composite fluid that bridges off at the near-

wellbore area, immediately past the completion hardware. 

This temporarily isolates the already stimulated zones from 

sequential fracturing of the next zone.

The BroadBand Precision integrated completion 

service addresses the problem of fractures that have been 

stimulated but do not produce. By controlling entry points 

in the completion hardware on command, BroadBand 

Precision service makes it possible to stimulate every 

prospective productive perforation cluster along a lateral  

to control fracture placement, sizing, and conductivity.

By fully exploiting ongoing significant advances 

in unconventional reservoir characterization and well 

construction, BroadBand services deliver a step-change 

improvement in production and recovery.

executional  capability—another  unique  Schlumberger  
advantage.  For  more  than  15  years  we  have  spent  signif-
icant time and resources in perfecting the structure of our 
GeoMarket  regions  and  Product  Groups  as  the  platform 
for  continuously  improving  operating  performance.  Our 
unmatched flexibility in product-line management and service 
deployment is neither easy to deploy nor simple to manage 
without this structural platform in combination with our long-
term experience across industry markets and environments.

effective  in  removing  barriers  between  product  lines  and 
optimizing the overall crew size at wellsites where multiple 
product lines are deployed. The expertise of crew members 
who are trained and ready to fill different roles for different 
product lines is leveraged within an integrated operation.

Crew modularity deploys wellsite crews in specialized 
units—such as rig-up or rig-down—in land locations where 
high-volume  operations  are  conducted.  Moving  modular 
crews from job to job significantly increases both produc-
tivity and consistency.

Remote operations use information technology (IT) real-
time solutions to connect the crew at the rig to the expertise 
and support available at the base. This concept has existed for 
almost a decade, but wider applications are now being pur-
sued as IT and operational challenges are overcome. Not only 
does the remote operations concept reduce wellsite crew size 
for greater efficiency, it also has a proven impact on opera-
tional reliability through more effective sharing of knowledge 
and expertise across multiple operations—all in real time.

Each of these three concepts can be applied individually 
to reduce the total number of people required to cover a spe-
cific job. This has a positive impact on operating efficiency 
for Schlumberger and also addresses the concerns of custom-
ers who need to reduce the number of personnel for overall 
health, safety, and environmental reasons at the wellsite, or 
to limit their number on operations in restricted areas or on 
small platforms. 

Continuously Improving Operational Performance

increasing efficiency is an integral part of our unmatched

Increasingly diverse oil and gas resources present both technical challenges and 

constraints for customers but significant opportunities for Schlumberger. Technology 

and process must be customized just as much for deepwater developments as for 

unconventional reservoirs, particularly at times of volatility in commodity prices. 

Growth through accelerating the pace of new technology innovation can be boosted by lowering 

cost through improved reliability and increased efficiency. But perhaps just as importantly, growth 

can be further enhanced by greater integration of innovative technology with human skill and  

operational workflow to deliver the step change in performance that the industry seeks.

Involving our customers in the integration process is criti-
cal. Their experts and ours must use common processes and 
workflows to meet challenges that range from reducing sub-
surface risk as exploration and appraisal begins to increas-
ing the ultimate recovery achievable when a reservoir nears 
the end of its productive life. Schlumberger has a 20-year 
track  record  of  integrating  technologies,  project  manage-
ment workflows, and human skills to satisfy not only the full 
range of customer challenges but also to meet internal goals 
across product line and field organizations.

Leveraging Company Strengths to Drive Growth
Schlumberger benefits from four key differentiating advan-
tages that form the basis for growth in the delivery of inte-
grated services and solutions. 

The first concerns individual technologies, such as those 
used to characterize an individual reservoir. In the reser-
voir  characterization  workflow,  for  example,  many  mea-
surements must be made and then integrated into a model 
that is consistently updated over time. Each measurement 
taken separately yields only a single piece of information 
that describes one particular attribute of the reservoir at 
one point in time. Integrating the measurements through 
the right model, however, makes them consistent with each 
other and leads to better reservoir understanding. But inte-
grating technologies and workflows is not simple, requiring 
a unique mindset and individual skills. The process and skill 

set are not easy to acquire, especially considering that inte-
gration is not only required from discipline to discipline but 
also from beginning to end. 

The  second  advantage  is  the  matrix  organization  that 
Schlumberger  introduced  more  than  15  years  ago.  The 
central concept of sharing common support services while 
tightly focusing product line expertise readily brings a vari-
ety of integration models directly to the customer interface. 
This leads directly to the third advantage, which is the 
experience that Schlumberger has gained as an organization 
that is able to deliver services through different business 
models to meet individual customer needs. These vary from 
collaborative, optimized service delivery at commercial rates 
to jointly managed, incentive-based, long-term contracts. 

The fourth advantage is the access we maintain to drilling 
rigs. This has long been a Schlumberger strength, and one 
that was recently reinforced by the company’s acquisition 
of Saxon Drilling. Rig access facilitates individual project 
operations and also offers opportunities for technology inte-
gration from the drill bit to the rig floor.

Integrating Operations for Maximum Advantage
As the pace and complexity of operations have grown, the 
traditional approach of discrete services has become increas-
ingly inefficient and expensive to manage. To control costs 
and minimize downtime, customers are requesting bundled 
services, which lump together several discrete offerings from 

72795schD1R4.indd   19

19

2/11/15   11:00 PM

a single supplier at a lower total cost. Although bundling may 
reduce the price, it often fails to boost efficiency, especially 
when the product lines and their individual service providers 
continue to function independently.

Team members  Lily Li, Guofang Lv, Xuehu Shi, and   
Yueran Cao hold a wellsite meeting to discuss operations  
on the YangChang integrated project near Yan’an, China.

Given these drawbacks as well as the magnitude of the 
challenges faced by industry today, the answer lies in truly 
integrated  operations.  True  integration  is  based  on  fun-
damentally  different  interactions  between  the  customer 
and  service  provider  than  those  of  conventional  discrete 
or bundled services. Integrated operations streamline and 
coordinate technologies, workflows, and  personnel  across 
domain boundaries as a cohesive system. This means that 
individual services at the wellsite are integrated, as are the 
technologies and engineering workflows in the office. The 
oil company and service company are fully aligned, working 
together as one.

Delivering Project and Asset Management
Schlumberger  Integrated  Project  Management  (IPM),  cre-
ated in 1995, is the leading provider of fully integrated oper-
ations, from the reservoir to the stock tank. It manages an 
expanding portfolio of multiyear, multirig well construction 

20

and field development projects that range from the Factory 
Drilling* approach for unconventional resource development 
through the demanding technical challenges of the deepest 
wells to full redevelopment of mature fields. IPM contracts 
are almost always long term for maximizing operational effi-
ciency and local experience.

A recent well construction project in Eastern Australia 
is a typical example of an IPM contract. The project, which 
is now winding down, drilled more than 300 wells per year 
using the Factory Drilling approach, which was first devel-
oped  by  Schlumberger  in  Mexico.  The  Factory  Drilling  
approach  integrates  four  main  areas  of  activity.  The  first 
is overall project management, engineering, procurement, 
and logistics; second, the deployment of specially designed 
drilling rigs; third, the supply of Schlumberger products and 
fit-for-purpose technologies; and last, all third-party services 
that are needed. This extensive integration leads directly to 
improved efficiency and overall cost reduction, enabling the 
construction of more wells within the same time frame to 
raise production capacity and lower project risk. 

Project economics are driven by time-related costs. In 
Eastern Australia, the experience gained since starting field 
work has reduced drilling times from eight to four days per 
well. Well completion times were similarly halved, from four 
days to two, largely from standardized processes and tech-
nologies  deployed  through  the  integrated  services  model 
over the 800 wells that have been drilled and completed.

Adding Subsurface Expertise to Production Management
Achieving success for long-term incentive production man-
agement contracts places the highest demands on integra-
tion. Schlumberger has more than 10 years of experience 
in  this  type  of  work,  beginning  with  redevelopment  of  
the  Dacion  field  in  Venezuela.  The  most  recent  example 
of  Schlumberger  Production  Management  (SPM)  is  the 
Shushufindi field in Ecuador—one of the largest onshore 
fields in South America. 

The aim of the Shushufindi project was to rejuvenate and 
redevelop this mature brownfield to generate incremental 
production. An essential prerequisite was to integrate the 
IPM approach with production management and a detailed 
understanding of the subsurface. Once work began in April 
2012,  the  joint  Schlumberger  and  customer  team  built  a 
new  static  and  dynamic  model  of  the  reservoir  using  the 
Schlumberger  Petrel*  E&P  software  platform.  This  took 
the field from paper records to a state-of-the-art reservoir

Unconventional Resource Development

Unconventional reservoirs are aptly named. They are 

complex, presenting numerous challenges compared with 

conventional reservoirs. For example, the Ghawar field 

in Saudi Arabia, one of the world’s largest conventional 

fields, delivers five times the production with half the 

well count and at much lower decline rates in only 

2% of the acreage of the Bakken fields, one of the top  

unconventional plays in the US. 

Understanding unconventional reservoirs and making 

the right decisions during their development is critical 

to success. Schlumberger is continually integrating 

process and technology with field operations to optimize 

production through the approach of GeoEngineered 

Performance* services. 

The process starts by correlating physical properties 

of the reservoir rock from core, log, and seismic data to 

fully characterize the reservoir. Large amounts of data are 

rapidly integrated into models that accurately reflect the 

heterogeneous nature of the unconventional reservoir. A 

network of Schlumberger Technical Integration Groups 

then leverages the breadth of our technology portfolio 

to give customers basin-specific, fit-for-purpose field 

development solutions.

By integrating expert knowledge of rocks and fluids 

with innovative technology, the Schlumberger approach 

of GeoEngineered Performance services builds efficiency 

and cost effectiveness into operations for unconventional 

resource development.

Rock outcrops help improve reservoir understanding. This out-
crop on the Roan Plateau, Colorado, USA provides information 
about shale reservoirs in the Green River Basin oil field. 

simulation model in only nine months. The results identified 
new reserves, opportunities for infill drilling, and candidate 
wells for workover operations. Over a two-year period, SPM 
drilled 63 wells and worked over another 54 to increase field 
production to more than 75,000 bbl of oil per day, achieving 
more than 40,000 bbl in incremental production above the 
agreed project baseline.

Changing the Way We Work
Our success definitively demonstrates what can be achieved 
by changing the way we work. Accelerating the pace of tech-
nical innovation to develop exciting new technologies that 
meet the increasing technical challenges of our customers 
is  essential.  Designing,  developing,  and  deploying  these 
new  technologies  through  an  R&E  organization  that  has 
been  transformed  to  match  the  best-in-class  processes  of 
high-technology industries in fields such as aerospace and 
automotive increases product reliability and improves oper-
ational efficiency. Integrating these technologies with our 
process expertise and human skills adds even further value 
to a wide range of customer oilfield activities. 

This  combination  of  technology  and  integration  is  a 
proven major driver of revenue growth, even at a time of vol-
atility in commodity pricing. The combination of improved 
reliability  and  increased  efficiency  is  just  as  critical  in 
improving financial performance—for both Schlumberger 
and our customers.

For the E&P industry to remain a reliable supplier of safe and cost-effective energy 

while meeting high environmental standards, the workforce employed and technology 

deployed must support continual and sustainable performance improvement to enable 

responsible stewardship of hydrocarbon resources. 

Schlumberger, with the largest and most innovative technology portfolio in the industry, enjoys signifi-

cant strength in the diversity and capability of its workforce. This has taken more than 40 years to 

develop through a unique approach to recruiting and training, as well as to career and leadership 

development. This approach provides a sustainable advantage that is exceedingly difficult to replicate.

In  developing  talented  people  and  innovative  technology, 
Schlumberger believes that no single culture holds a lock 
on creativity. Working in more than 85 countries—many of 
them for more than 70 years—and employing people of over 
140 nationalities provides a unique culture that is global in 
outlook yet local in practice. Many of the consequences of 
what we do, in whichever country we work, have an impact 
both on the industry and on the country. While helping cus-
tomers produce oil and gas more efficiently, we can positively 
affect capacity building, economic development, and social 
investment. All sustainability is local, and our geographical 
footprint offers many opportunities to improve performance. 

Integrating Technology and Environmental Footprint
Sustaining  economic  development  while  conserving  nat-
ural  resources  is  a  pressing  challenge.  Our  integration  of 
technical innovation with a commitment to high standards 
of behavior is key to meeting those goals. With a history in 
innovation of more than 80 years, our scientific knowledge 
and technical expertise help customers meet their technical 
challenges while minimizing the environmental footprint. 
For example, the Schlumberger HiWAY* flow-channel frac-
turing technique uses 40% less proppant and 25% less water 
than conventional stimulation treatments. Since its intro-
duction, application of the HiWAY technique has conserved 
more than 1.2 billion gallons of water—the equivalent of the 
capacity of more than 1,800 Olympic-size swimming pools.

In a similar approach, the Schlumberger R&E organiza-
tion established a lean manufacturing program as part of its 
transformation with a goal of continually improving both effi-
ciency and productivity through the identification and elim-
ination of waste. Key to the success of the program has been 
the involvement of all R&E functions: engineering; manufac-
turing; product sustaining; supply chain; human resources; 
health, safety, and environment; facilities; and finance.

In 2010, a complementary “lean and green” program was 
launched to actively target environmental waste in the form 
of energy, water, materials, emissions, and other solid and 
liquid wastes. The success of the program depended on col-
laboration between teams to achieve environmental savings. 
Now in its fifth year, the lean and green program has aver-
aged net project savings of more than $1 million per year 
from the reduction and elimination of environmental waste. 
Average annual savings are 2,378 MW in electricity, 19,704 kL 
of water, and 521 tonnes of waste. 

Facilities-related projects in the lean and green program 
include the installation of energy-efficient lighting, sensors 
and  timers  for  heating  and  lighting  control,  air  handling 
systems,  and  closed-loop  water  systems.  The  return  on 
investment from these projects provides both financial and 
environmental advantages that are potentially repeatable. 
The  lean  and  green  program  brings  proactive  environ-
mental awareness to the Schlumberger R&E organization 
that can be expanded to other parts of the company.

Becoming Part of the Environment
The Schlumberger approach to social investment respects 
three  principles—it  must  be  for  activities  that  are  con -
nected  to  our  business,  it  must  be  rooted  in  the  commu -
nities in which we work, and it must be both focused and 
accountable. Today, much of our investment is directed at 
education—particularly in science, technology, engineering, 
and mathematics (STEM) because these subjects underpin 
our business as well as economic growth—and at initiatives 
closely connected with health and safety, as these are essen-
tial to human development.  

In  practicing  this  approach,  Schlumberger  engages  in 
educational  programs  that  range  from  the  Schlumberger 
Excellence  in  Educational  Development  (SEED)  program 
focused on schoolchildren between the ages of 10 and 18 to 
the Schlumberger Foundation’s Faculty for the Future ini-
tiative, which is designed to create a community of women 
leaders in STEM subjects that support socioeconomic devel-
opment in their home developing economies. 

Recognizing the link between science, technology, and 
socioeconomic development, as well as the key role of edu-
cation in realizing individual potential, the Schlumberger 
Foundation’s Faculty for the Future program supports sci-
ence and technology by enabling women from developing 
economies  to  pursue  advanced  graduate  study  in  science 
and engineering subjects at top universities worldwide. In 
doing so, the program is building an international commu-
nity of women leaders in science, who are prepared to make 
an impact in their home countries around the world.

These and other initiatives further the pursuit of two key 
Schlumberger advantages—becoming part of the environ-
ment with every country as a home country, and harnessing 
the benefit that cultural affinity provides with customers in 
an industry that deploys ever more complex technology.

Schlumberger has invested considerable effort in under-
standing the sustainable development aspects of its oper-
ations around the world. As a result, we have developed a 
sustainability framework that represents different facets of 
our activities. When viewed through this lens, it becomes 
clear that the company contributes to every country in which 
it works, often to a degree beyond any strict local obliga-
tions. Wherever Schlumberger operates, we strive to align 
our global business model with local and national priorities 
through continuous and proactive engagement with a wide 
range of stakeholders.

Faculty for the Future Fellow Silvia Materu, from Tanzania, 
is pursuing a PhD in Environmental Sciences at the 
Hamburg University of Applied Sciences in Germany.

Uniting Women Scientists —Faculty for the Future

Since its launch in 2004, Faculty for the Future has awarded 

more than 400 fellowships to women from 68 countries. 

During the 2014-2015 academic year, Faculty for the  

Future Fellows pursued PhD or postdoctorate studies in  

36 disciplines ranging from physics to mathematics to 

chemical engineering at 64 of the world’s top universities  

in 12 different countries.

In addition to enabling women to attend their courses 

of study, the Faculty for the Future also hosts an annual 

forum for program fellows to share experiences and foster 

cooperation while debating topics of interest. The 12th 

such forum was held in Cambridge, Massachusetts, US,  

in November 2014. Past forums have been held in locations 

from New York to London to Abu Dhabi. Some 60 women 

scientists met in Cambridge and shared their research 

subjects and experiences during the three-day event. 

They debated topics that included examining the barriers 

for women who wished to study STEM subjects, the 

encouragement needed for the next generation of women 

scientists to succeed, and how STEM can help alleviate 

major world health and educational challenges.

Item 1. Business.

All references in this report to “Registrant,” “Company,” “Schlumberger,” “we” or “our” are to Schlumberger Limited

(Schlumberger N.V., incorporated in Curaçao) and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Founded in 1926, Schlumberger is the world’s leading supplier of technology, integrated project management and
information solutions to the international oil and gas exploration and production industry. Having invented wireline
logging as a technique for obtaining downhole data in oil and gas wells, Schlumberger today provides the industry’s
widest range of products and services from exploration through production. As of December 31, 2014, the Company
employed approximately 120,000 people of over 140 nationalities operating in approximately 85 countries.
Schlumberger has principal executive offices in Paris, Houston, London and The Hague.

Schlumberger operates in each of the major oilfield service markets, managing its business through three Groups:
Reservoir Characterization, Drilling and Production. Each Group consists of a number of technology-based service and
product lines, or Technologies. These Technologies cover the entire life cycle of the reservoir and correspond to a
number of markets in which Schlumberger holds leading positions. The business is also reported through four
geographic Areas: North America, Latin America, Europe/CIS/Africa and Middle East & Asia. Within these Areas, a
network of GeoMarket* regions provides logistical, technical and commercial coordination.

The role of the Groups and Technologies is to ensure that Schlumberger provides the best possible service to
customers and that it remains at the forefront of technology development. The Groups and Technologies are
collectively responsible for driving excellence in execution throughout their businesses, overseeing operational
processes, resource allocation, personnel and delivering superior financial results. The GeoMarket structure offers
customers a single point of contact at the local level for field operations and brings together geographically focused
teams to meet local needs and deliver customized solutions. The Areas and GeoMarkets are responsible for providing
the most efficient and cost effective support possible to the operations.

The Groups are as follows:

Reservoir Characterization Group – Consists of the principal Technologies involved in finding and defining
hydrocarbon resources. These include WesternGeco, Wireline, Testing Services, Schlumberger Information Solutions
(SIS) and PetroTechnical Services. WesternGeco seismic acquisition services and PetroTechnical Services
interpretation solutions combine to provide the industry’s most extensive multiclient library.

increased footage provide significant economic benefits in lowering overall well costs. The technologies leverage
proprietary modeling and simulation software for the design of application-specific bits and cutting structures.

(cid:129) M-I SWACO is the leading supplier of drilling fluid systems engineered to improve drilling performance by
anticipating fluids-related problems, fluid systems and specialty equipment designed to optimize wellbore
productivity and production technology solutions formulated to maximize production rates. M-I SWACO also
provides engineered managed pressure drilling and underbalanced drilling solutions, as well as environmental
services and products to safely manage waste volumes generated in both drilling and production operations.

(cid:129) Geoservices supplies mud logging services for geological and drilling surveillance.

(cid:129) Drilling & Measurements provides directional drilling, measurement-while-drilling and logging-while-drilling

services for all well profiles as well as engineering support.

(cid:129) Drilling Tools & Remedial provides a wide variety of bottom hole assembly drilling tools, borehole enlargement
technologies and impact tools, as well as a comprehensive collection of tubulars and tubular services for oil and
gas drilling operations.

(cid:129)

Saxon Rig Services provides land drilling and related support services.

Production Group – Consists of the principal Technologies involved in the lifetime production of oil and gas reservoirs
and includes Well Services, Completions, Artificial Lift, Well Intervention, Water Services and Schlumberger
Production Management field production projects.

(cid:129) Well Services provides services used during oil and gas well drilling and completion as well as those used to
maintain optimal production throughout the life of a well. The services include pressure pumping, well
cementing and stimulation operations as well as intervention activities.

(cid:129) Completions supplies well completion services and equipment that include packers, safety valves, sand control

technology as well as a range of intelligent well completions technology and equipment.

(cid:129) Artificial Lift provides production equipment and optimization services using electrical submersible pumps, gas

(cid:129) Well Intervention develops coiled tubing equipment and services and provides slickline services for downhole

mechanical well intervention, reservoir monitoring and downhole data acquisition.

(cid:129) Water Services specializes in the development, management and environmental protection of water resources.

Schlumberger has a 40% equity ownership interest in OneSubseaTM, a joint venture with Cameron International
Corporation (“Cameron”). The joint venture manufactures and develops products, systems and services for the subsea
oil and gas market. Schlumberger’s 40% share of the net income of the joint venture is reflected in the results of the
Production Group.

Schlumberger also offers customers its services through business models known as Integrated Project Management
(IPM), for well construction projects, and Schlumberger Production Management (SPM), for field production projects.
These models combine the required services and products of the Technologies with drilling rig management,
specialized engineering and project management expertise to provide a complete solution to well construction and
production improvement.

IPM projects are typically of multiyear duration and include start-up costs and significant third-party components
that cover services Schlumberger does not provide directly. Projects may be fixed price in nature and may contain
penalties for non-performance.

SPM commercial arrangements create alignment between Schlumberger and the asset holder and/or the operator
whereby Schlumberger receives remuneration in line with its value creation. These projects are generally focused on
developing and co-managing production of Schlumberger’s customers’ assets under
long-term agreements.
Schlumberger will invest its own services and products, and in some cases cash, into the field development activities
and operations. Although in certain arrangements Schlumberger is paid for a portion of the services or products it
provides, generally Schlumberger will not be paid at the time of providing its services or upon delivery of its products.
Instead, Schlumberger is generally compensated based upon cash flow generated or on a fee-per-barrel basis for any
incremental production Schlumberger helps deliver above a mutually agreed baseline.

4

Supporting the Technologies is a global network of research and engineering centers. Through this organization,
Schlumberger is committed to advanced technology programs that enhance oilfield efficiency, lower finding and
producing costs, improve productivity, maximize reserve recovery and increase asset value while accomplishing these
goals in a safe and environmentally sound manner.

Managed outside the Group structure is Schlumberger Business Consulting, which helps oil and gas companies

achieve fast and sustainable performance improvements.

Schlumberger primarily uses its own personnel to market its offerings. The customer base, business risks and
opportunities for growth are essentially uniform across all services. There is a sharing of manufacturing and
engineering facilities as well as research centers, and the labor force is interchangeable. Technological innovation,
quality of service and price differentiation are the principal methods of competition, which varies geographically with
respect to the different services offered. While there are numerous competitors, both large and small, Schlumberger
believes that it is an industry leader in providing geophysical services, wireline logging, well testing, drilling and
completion fluids, solids and waste management, coiled-tubing, drill bits, measurement-while-drilling, logging-while-
drilling, directional drilling services and mud logging. A large proportion of Schlumberger offerings is non-rig related;
consequently, revenue does not necessarily correlate to the rig count.

GENERAL

Intellectual Property

Schlumberger owns and controls a variety of intellectual property, including but not limited to patents, proprietary
information and software tools and applications that, in the aggregate, are material to Schlumberger’s business. While
Schlumberger seeks and holds numerous patents covering various products and processes, no particular patent or
group of patents is considered material to Schlumberger’s business.

Seasonality

Seasonal changes in weather and significant weather events can temporarily affect the delivery of oilfield services.
For example, the spring thaw in Canada and consequent road restrictions can affect activity levels, while the winter
months in the North Sea, Russia and China can produce severe weather conditions which typically result in temporarily
reduced levels of activity. In addition, hurricanes and typhoons can disrupt coastal and offshore operations.
Furthermore, customer spending patterns for multiclient data, software and other oilfield services and products
generally result in higher activity in the fourth quarter of each year as clients seek to utilize their annual budgets.

Customers and Backlog of Orders

For the year ended December 31, 2014, no single customer exceeded 10% of consolidated revenue. Other than
WesternGeco, Schlumberger has no significant backlog due to the nature of its businesses. The WesternGeco backlog,
which is based on signed contracts with customers, was $0.7 billion at December 31, 2014 ($0.9 billion at December 31,
2013).

Financial Information

Financial information by business segment and geographic area for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and

2012 is provided in Note 17 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

The following discussion of risk factors known to us contains important information for the understanding of our
“forward-looking statements,” which are discussed immediately following Item 7A. of this Form 10-K and elsewhere.
These risk factors should also be read in conjunction with Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations, and the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included in this
Form 10-K.

We urge you to consider carefully the risks described below, as well as in other reports and materials that we file
with the SEC and the other information included or incorporated by reference in this Form 10-K. If any of the risks
described below or elsewhere in this Form 10-K were to materialize, our business, financial condition, results of
operations, cash flows or prospects could be materially adversely affected. In such case, the trading price of our
common stock could decline and you could lose part or all of your investment. Additional risks and uncertainties
not currently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also materially adversely affect our financial
condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Demand for the majority of our services is substantially dependent on the levels of expenditures by the oil and
gas industry. A substantial or an extended decline in oil and gas prices could result in lower expenditures by the
oil and gas industry, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations
and cash flows.

Demand for the majority of our services depends substantially on the level of expenditures by the oil and gas
industry for the exploration, development and production of oil and natural gas reserves. These expenditures are
generally dependent on the industry’s view of future oil and natural gas prices and are sensitive to the industry’s view
of future economic growth and the resulting impact on demand for oil and natural gas. Declines, as well as anticipated
declines, in oil and gas prices could also result in project modifications, delays or cancellations, general business
disruptions, and delays in payment of, or nonpayment of, amounts that are owed to us. These effects could have a
material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

The prices for oil and natural gas have historically been volatile and can be affected by a variety of factors, including:

demand for hydrocarbons, which is affected by general economic and business conditions;

the ability or willingness of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”) to set and maintain
production levels for oil;

oil and gas production levels by non-OPEC countries;

the level of excess production capacity;

political and economic uncertainty and geopolitical unrest;

the level of worldwide oil and gas exploration and production activity;

access to potential resources;

governmental policies and subsidies;

the costs of exploring for, producing and delivering oil and gas;

technological advances affecting energy consumption; and

(cid:129) weather conditions.

The oil and gas industry has historically experienced periodic downturns, which have been characterized by
diminished demand for oilfield services and downward pressure on the prices we charge. A significant downturn in the
oil and gas industry could result in a reduction in demand for oilfield services and could adversely affect our financial
condition, results of operations and cash flows.

A significant portion of our revenue is derived from our non-United States operations, which exposes us to risks
inherent in doing business in each of the approximately 85 countries in which we operate.

Our non-United States operations accounted for approximately 71% of our consolidated revenue in 2014, 73% in 2013

and 72% in 2012. Operations in countries other than the United States are subject to various risks, including:

During the fourth quarter of 2014, Schlumberger completed the wind down of its operations in the Republic of

Sudan.

As previously disclosed, during the second quarter of 2013, Schlumberger completed the wind down of its service
operations in Iran. Prior to this, certain non-US subsidiaries of Schlumberger provided oilfield services to the National
Iranian Oil Company and certain of its affiliates (“NIOC”). Schlumberger has reclassified the results of this business as
a discontinued operation. All prior periods have been restated accordingly.

Schlumberger’s residual transactions or dealings with the government of Iran during 2014 consisted of payments of
taxes and other typical governmental charges. Two non-US subsidiaries of Schlumberger maintained depository
accounts at the Dubai branch of Bank Saderat Iran (“Saderat”), and at Bank Tejarat (“Tejarat”) in Tehran for the
deposit by NIOC of amounts owed to non-US subsidiaries of Schlumberger for prior services rendered in Iran. One non-
US subsidiary also maintains an account at Tejarat for payment of local expenses such as taxes and utilities.
Schlumberger anticipates that it will discontinue its dealings with Saderat and Tejarat following the receipt of all
amounts owed to Schlumberger for prior services rendered in Iran.

Environmental compliance costs and liabilities could reduce our earnings and cash available for operations.

We are subject to increasingly stringent laws and regulations relating to importation and use of hazardous materials,
radioactive materials, chemicals and explosives and to environmental protection, including laws and regulations
governing air emissions, hydraulic fracturing, water discharges and waste management. We incur, and expect to
continue to incur, capital and operating costs to comply with environmental laws and regulations. The technical
requirements of these laws and regulations are becoming increasingly complex, stringent and expensive to implement.
These laws may provide for “strict liability” for remediation costs, damages to natural resources or threats to public
health and safety. Strict liability can render a party liable for damages without regard to negligence or fault on the part
of the party. Some environmental laws provide for joint and several strict liability for remediation of spills and releases
of hazardous substances.

We use and generate hazardous substances and wastes in our operations. In addition, many of our current and
former properties are, or have been, used for industrial purposes. Accordingly, we could become subject to material
liabilities relating to the investigation and cleanup of potentially contaminated properties, and to claims alleging
personal injury or property damage as the result of exposures to, or releases of, hazardous substances. In addition,
stricter enforcement of existing laws and regulations, new laws and regulations, the discovery of previously unknown
contamination or the imposition of new or increased requirements could require us to incur costs or become the basis
of new or increased liabilities that could reduce our earnings and our cash available for operations.

8

We could be subject to substantial liability claims, which could adversely affect our financial condition, results
of operations and cash flows.

The technical complexities of our operations expose us to a wide range of significant health, safety and
environmental risks. Our offerings involve production-related activities, radioactive materials, chemicals, explosives
and other equipment and services that are deployed in challenging exploration, development and production
environments. An accident involving these services or equipment, or a failure of a product, could cause personal injury,
loss of life, damage to or destruction of property, equipment or the environment, or suspension of operations. Our
insurance may not protect us against liability for some kinds of events, including events involving pollution, or against
losses resulting from business interruption. Moreover, we may not be able to maintain insurance at levels of risk
coverage or policy limits that we deem adequate. Any damages caused by our services or products that are not covered
by insurance, or are in excess of policy limits or are subject to substantial deductibles, could adversely affect our
financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Demand for our products and services could be reduced by changes in governmental regulations or in the law.

Existing or future legislation and regulations related to greenhouse gas emissions and climate change, as well as
government initiatives to conserve energy or promote the use of alternative energy sources, may significantly curtail
demand for and production of fossil fuels such as oil and gas in areas of the world where our customers operate and
thus adversely affect future demand for our services. This may, in turn, adversely affect our financial condition, results
of operations and cash flows.

Some international, national, state and local governments and agencies have also adopted laws and regulations or
are evaluating proposed legislation and regulations that are focused on the extraction of shale gas or oil using
hydraulic fracturing. Hydraulic fracturing is a stimulation treatment routinely performed on oil and gas wells in low-
permeability reservoirs. Specially engineered fluids are pumped at high pressure and rate into the reservoir interval to
be treated, causing cracks in the target formation. Proppant, such as sand of a particular size, is mixed with the
treatment fluid to keep the cracks open when the treatment is complete. Future hydraulic fracturing-related
legislation or regulations could limit or ban hydraulic fracturing, or lead to operational delays and increased costs, and
therefore reduce demand for our pressure pumping services. If such additional international, national, state or local
legislation or regulations are enacted, it could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash
flows.

If we are unable to maintain technology leadership, this could adversely affect any competitive advantage we
hold.

If we are unable to continue to develop and produce competitive technology or deliver it to our clients in a timely
and cost-competitive manner in the various markets we serve, it could adversely affect our financial condition, results
of operations and cash flows.

Limitations on our ability to protect our intellectual property rights, including our trade secrets, could cause a
loss in revenue and any competitive advantage we hold.

Some of our products or services, and the processes we use to produce or provide them, have been granted patent
protection, have patent applications pending or are trade secrets. Our business may be adversely affected if our patents
are unenforceable, the claims allowed under our patents are not sufficient to protect our technology, our patent
applications are denied, or our trade secrets are not adequately protected. Our competitors may be able to develop
technology independently that is similar to ours without infringing on our patents or gaining access to our trade
secrets, which could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

We may be subject to litigation if another party claims that we have infringed upon its intellectual property
rights.

The tools, techniques, methodologies, programs and components we use to provide our services may infringe upon
the intellectual property rights of others. Infringement claims generally result in significant legal and other costs and
may distract management from running our core business. Royalty payments under licenses from third parties, if

9

available, would increase our costs. Additionally, developing non-infringing technologies would increase our costs. If a
license were not available, we might not be able to continue providing a particular service or product, which could
adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Failure to obtain and retain skilled technical personnel could impede our operations.

We require highly skilled personnel to operate and provide technical services and support for our business.
Competition for the personnel required for our businesses intensifies as activity increases. In periods of high utilization
it may become more difficult to find and retain qualified individuals. This could increase our costs or have other
adverse effects on our operations.

Severe weather conditions may affect our operations.

Our business may be materially affected by severe weather conditions in areas where we operate. This may entail
the evacuation of personnel and stoppage of services. In addition, if particularly severe weather affects platforms or
structures, this may result in a suspension of activities. Any of these events could adversely affect our financial
condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Cyber attacks could affect our business.

If our systems for protecting against cybersecurity risks are circumvented or breached, this could result in the loss of
our intellectual property or other proprietary information, including customer data, and disruption of our business
operations.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, statements
relating to our plans, strategies, objectives, expectations, intentions and resources. Such forward-looking statements
should be read in conjunction with our disclosures under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of this Form 10-K.

Executive Overview

Revenue for 2014 reached a record $48.6 billion, up 7% and growing for the fifth consecutive year. In North America,
revenue surged by $2.3 billion, or 16%, driven by strong activity both on land and offshore as well as by the penetration
of innovative hydraulic stimulation technologies. International revenue increased by $1.2 billion, or 4%, on significant
strength in the Middle East & Asia, despite considerable headwinds in the face of activity challenges, geopolitical
unrest, falling oil prices and international sanctions elsewhere.

Oil markets remained relatively well-balanced during 2014 as increasing global production capacity almost matched
increasing demand. Yet, after more than three years of remarkable stability, oil prices declined dramatically by more
than 40% late in the year to end at their lowest levels since 2009. However, unlike the 2009 decline which was triggered
by a global economic recession, the 2014 decline resulted from a higher market supply of oil that became increasingly
evident as North American tight oil production continued to grow and OPEC shifted focus from protecting oil prices to
protecting market share. At the same time, production recovered in countries that had suffered degrees of geopolitical
disturbance, and the US dollar strengthened to further weaken overall commodity prices.

In natural gas markets, US prices reached multiyear highs in February 2014 on exceptionally cold weather and risks of
local supply shortages. Storage, however, returned to historical average levels at the end of 2014 as sustained production
growth in the Marcellus play and increasing associated gas production in US tight oil plays more than offset the impact of
low activity levels in other unconventional plays. Overall, these increasing supplies more than met growing demand.
Internationally, natural gas prices eased broadly in 2014 on mild temperatures in Europe, LNG capacity additions in the
Pacific region, and the impact of weaker oil prices on oil-indexed natural gas pricing formulas.

Against this background, Schlumberger’s performance in 2014 was led by North America, where revenue grew by
16% on robust land activity, increased service intensity, market share gains and new technology penetration. Offshore
operations, however, suffered from a number of operational delays that particularly affected drilling and exploration
activity. The 4% growth in International revenue was led by activity in a number of key markets, both on land and
offshore. Middle East & Asia revenue grew by 10%, driven by Saudi Arabia, Australia, the United Arab Emirates and
Oman. Revenue in Europe/CIS/Africa improved by 1%, led by the Sub-Saharan region on strong exploration and
development activities in the Central West Africa, Angola and Continental Europe GeoMarkets. Norway also showed
strong growth through market share gains and higher rig-related services for a number of customers. In Latin America,
however, revenue slipped by 1% as strong activity in Venezuela and Ecuador was unable to compensate for lower
activity and pricing in both Brazil and Mexico.

From a Group perspective, performance was led by the Drilling Group, mainly as result of robust demand for
Drilling & Measurements services and M-I SWACO Technologies as activity strengthened in North America and Middle
East & Asia. Rig revenue from the May 2014 acquisition of Saxon also contributed to Drilling Group growth. The
Production Group benefitted from strong results in Well Services, where pressure pumping activity increased through
market share gains, operational efficiency improvements and the introduction of new technology. Schlumberger
Production Management grew as projects in Latin America, particularly in Ecuador, continued to progress ahead of
plan. Production Group activity was also boosted by expansion in the Artificial Lift business as a number of regional
acquisitions were added to the portfolio, both in operations and in equipment design and production. However,
strength in the Drilling and Production Groups was offset by a slight fall in Reservoir Characterization Group revenue.
While testing activity expanded on higher exploration work and software sales increased in all Areas, weakness in the
seismic market lowered marine vessel utilization and reduced multiclient seismic data license sales.

As Schlumberger enters a challenging 2015, the reduction in commodity prices, which have resulted from the higher
marketed supply of oil, raises short-term uncertainty as it relates to the spending and activity levels of our customers.
However, Schlumberger believes that the oil markets are, in fact, relatively well-balanced and that increasing global
production capacity is in line with the overall growth in demand resulting from the continuing global economic recovery.
In the longer term, decline rates will impact production capacity, and weaker exploration will delay supply additions, the
combination of which ultimately will lead to tighter market conditions and consequently drive increasing investment.

14

In this uncertain environment, Schlumberger continues to focus on the things it can control and has already
restructured and resized the business to match the reduced activity levels it expects as 2015 develops. These actions
resulted in certain charges, which are described in detail in Note 3 to the reduced Consolidated Financial Statements,
being recorded during the fourth quarter of 2014.

Fourth-quarter revenue of $12.6 billion was flat sequentially. North America revenue of $4.3 billion increased

$69 million, or 2%, sequentially. International revenue of $8.2 billion decreased $98 million, or 1%, sequentially.

Sequentially, Reservoir Characterization Group revenue decreased 3%, to $3.1 billion, and Drilling Group revenue
decreased 3%, to $4.7 billion. Production Group revenue increased 5% sequentially to $5.0 billion. The decrease in
Reservoir Characterization Group revenue was primarily due to the seasonal drop in marine seismic activity in the
North Sea and Eastern Canada. Wireline revenue also decreased on lower exploration activity in Angola and seasonal
activity and currency declines in Russia. These sequential decreases were partially offset by year-end multiclient
license and software sales. Drilling Group revenue decreased primarily on unfavorable currency effects and activity
declines in Russia for Drilling & Measurements and M-I SWACO Technologies. In Mexico, lower Integrated Project
Management (IPM) activity, due to budgetary constraints, also contributed to the decrease. The increase in Production
Group revenue reflected stronger activity in Western Canada, higher uptake of technology, continued efficiency
improvements, and improved pressure pumping logistics in North America land. Year-end sales of Completions and
Artificial Lift products also contributed to the sequential increase.

Sequentially by Area, Middle East & Asia led the increase with revenue of $3.1 billion growing 4%, driven by record
revenue in Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, increased activity in Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates, and year-end product
and software sales across the Area. In Latin America, revenue of $2.1 billion grew by 1% on increased activity in
Venezuela and Colombia, offset by decreased work scope in Mexico due to budgetary constraints. In Europe/CIS/Africa,
revenue of $3.1 billion fell 7% due mainly to weakness in the ruble and the seasonal activity decline in Russia.
Following the peak summer drilling and exploration campaigns of the previous quarter, customer spending decelerated
as oil prices weakened. As a result, rig count reductions led to activity declines in Angola, Norway and the United
Kingdom GeoMarkets. North America revenue of $4.3 billion increased 2% sequentially with land revenue up 5%. Land
revenue increased both in the US and Western Canada on higher pressure pumping activity, continued efficiency
improvement, and higher uptake of new technology. Fourth-quarter activity in the US Gulf of Mexico increased by 12%
driven by year-end multiclient license sales and the resumption of operations after loop current disruptions in the third
quarter. Eastern Canada revenue declined sequentially following completion of the season’s exploration program and
marine seismic activity.

Sequentially, fourth-quarter pretax operating income of $2.8 billion was down 1%. International pretax operating

income of $2.0 billion was down 2%, while North America pretax operating income of $849 million was up 3%.

Sequentially, pretax operating margin of 22.0% decreased 19 basis points (bps), as International Area pretax
operating margin of 24.2% decreased 33 bps. Middle East & Asia margin increased 71 bps to 28.3% while Latin America
decreased 102 bps to 20.9% and Europe/CIS/Africa declined 112 bps to 22.3%. The decline in International Area margin
was primarily driven by an unfavorable revenue mix in the fourth quarter following the high-margin peak summer
drilling and exploration campaigns of the third quarter. Unfavorable currency effects and activity declines in Russia
also contributed to margin contraction. North America pretax operating margin increased 24 bps sequentially, to 19.6%,
on increased Western Canada activity, continued efficiency gains, and increased penetration of new technology. North
America offshore margin improved on a better revenue mix from high-margin multiclient license sales. Sequentially by
segment, Reservoir Characterization Group pretax operating margin of 30.9% was 95 bps higher on a favorable revenue
mix from high-margin multiclient license and software sales while Drilling Group pretax operating margin declined 94
bps to 20.7% mainly due to currency and activity declines in Russia. Reservoir Production Group pretax operating
margin of 18.3% was flat sequentially as pricing pressure, particularly in the US land market, was offset by improved
activity in Western Canada and by improved efficiency, better fleet utilization, and recovery of logistical costs in the
North America land markets.

Reservoir Characterization Group

Fourth-quarter revenue of $3.1 billion declined 3% sequentially. Pretax operating income of $956 million was flat
sequentially. The decrease in revenue was primarily driven by the seasonal drop in marine seismic activity in the North
Sea and Eastern Canada. Wireline revenue also decreased on lower exploration activity in Angola and seasonal activity
and currency declines in Russia. These sequential decreases were partially offset by year-end multiclient license and
software sales.

Sequentially, pretax operating margin of 30.9% increased 95 bps. This increase reflected a favorable revenue mix

from high-margin multiclient license and software sales.

16

Drilling Group

Fourth-quarter revenue of $4.7 billion declined 3% sequentially. Pretax operating income of $966 million was 8%
lower sequentially. These decreases were primarily due to the unfavorable currency effects and activity declines in
Russia for Drilling & Measurements and M-I SWACO Technologies. In Mexico, lower IPM activity due to budgetary
constraints also contributed to the decrease.

Sequentially, pretax operating margin declined 94 bps, to 20.7%, mainly due to currency and activity declines in

Russia.

Production Group

Fourth-quarter revenue of $5.0 billion increased 5% sequentially. Pretax operating income of $908 million was 6%
higher sequentially. Sequentially, revenue increased due to improved activity in Western Canada, higher uptake of new
technology, continued efficiency improvements, and improved logistics in pressure pumping in North America land.
Year-end sales of Completions and Artificial Lift products also contributed to the sequential increase.

Sequentially, pretax operating margin of 18.3% was flat as pricing pressure, particularly in the US land market, was
offset by an improved volume of activity in Western Canada and by improved efficiency, better fleet utilization, and
recovery of logistical costs in the North America land markets.

Excludes interest expense included in the segments’ income (2014: $22 million; 2013: $22 million).
Charges and credits are described in detail in Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Full-year 2014 revenue of $48.6 billion grew $3.3 billion, or 7%, versus the same period last year with International
revenue of $32.1 billion increasing $1.2 billion, or 4%, and North America revenue of $16.2 billion growing $2.3 billion,
or 16%.

Internationally, higher activities in a number of GeoMarkets, both offshore and in key land markets, contributed to the
increase. The increase was led by the Middle East & Asia which increased 10%, mainly from robust drilling and exploration
results in Saudi Arabia, Australia, the United Arab Emirates and Oman. Europe/CIS/Africa increased 1%, led by the Sub-
Saharan Africa region on strong development and exploration activities, particularly in Central West Africa, Angola and
Continental Europe GeoMarkets. Norway also experienced strong growth driven by market share gains and higher rig-
related services for a number of customers. Latin America, however, decreased 1% primarily as a result of lower activity
and pricing in Brazil and Mexico which was partially offset by strong activity in Argentina and Ecuador.

North America revenue increased 16% mainly due to land which was up 22%, while offshore was down 3%. The
increase in land was driven by market share gains in pressure pumping, artificial lift and drilling services. The pressure
pumping growth was augmented by improvements in operational efficiency and the introduction of new technologies.
The decrease in offshore revenue was attributable to lower drilling and exploration activities, and due to a series of
operational delays that impacted several product lines earlier in the year combined with lower multiclient sales.

Full-year 2014 pretax operating income of $10.6 billion grew $1.2 billion, or 13%, versus the same period last year
with International pretax operating income of $7.7 billion increasing 12% and North America pretax operating income
of $3.1 billion increasing 12%.

Full-year 2014 pretax operating margin of 21.8% increased 113 bps compared to 2013, as International Area pretax
operating margin was up 168 bps, to 23.9%, while North America pretax operating margin was down 75 bps, to 18.9%.
The increase in International Area margins reflected increased high-margin exploration activities, market share gains,
growth in accretive integration-related activities and premium pricing on new technology introductions. The North
America margin contraction reflected pressure pumping commodity inflation.

Reservoir Characterization Group

Full-year 2014 revenue of $12.2 billion was down 2% compared to 2013. Revenue increased in Testing Services, from
higher offshore exploration, and Schlumberger Information Solutions, driven by software sales across all international

18

areas. However, these increases were offset by lower WesternGeco marine vessel utilization and reduced multiclient
seismic sales.

Year-on-year, pretax operating margin increased 14 bps, to 29.5%, largely due to the higher-margin exploration
activities that benefited Wireline Technologies and Testing Services. Higher margin software sales also contributed to
the improvement. These increases were partially offset by lower profitability in WesternGeco due to lower vessel
utilization and lower PetroTechnical Services multiclient seismic sales.

Drilling Group

Full-year 2014 revenue of $18.5 billion was 8% higher than the 2013, primarily due to the robust demand for
Drilling & Measurements services and M-I SWACO Technologies as activity strengthened in the North America and
Middle East & Asia Areas. Rig revenue from the May 2014 acquisition of Saxon also contributed to the growth.

Year-on-year, pretax operating margin increased 171 bps, to 21.0%, primarily due to the increase in higher-margin
exploration activities of Drilling & Measurements in North America offshore and in the international markets.
Improved profitability on Integrated Project Management activities also contributed to the margin increase.

Production Group

Full-year 2014 revenue of $18.1 billion increased 14% compared to 2013, primarily from Well Services pressure
pumping technologies driven by market share gains, improvements in operational efficiency and the introduction of
new technologies. Schlumberger Production Management (SPM) revenue grew as projects in Latin America continued
to progress ahead of work plans. Revenue from the expanding artificial lift business also contributed to the year-on-
year growth.

Year-on-year, pretax operating margin increased 138 bps, to 17.8%, mainly on improved profitability for Well Services
and Well Intervention, particularly in the International Areas. SPM activities also contributed to the margin expansion.
However, these improvements were partially offset by the decrease in margins in North America due to pressure
pumping commodity cost inflation.

Full-year 2013 revenue of $45.3 billion increased 8% versus the same period last year with International revenue 11%

higher and North America revenue increasing 3%.

Internationally, higher exploration and development activities in a number of GeoMarkets, both offshore and in key
land markets, contributed to the increase. The increase was led by the Middle East & Asia, which increased 24%,
mainly from robust results across a diversified portfolio of projects and activities in Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and United Arab
Emirates; increased seismic surveys across Asia; and sustained land and offshore drilling activity in the Australasia and
China GeoMarkets. Europe/CIS/Africa increased 8%, led by the Russia and Central Asia region on strong land activity in
West Siberia and robust offshore projects in Sakhalin. The Sub-Saharan Africa region increased on strong development,
exploration and seismic activities as well. Latin America was 3% higher, mainly due to solid progress on an SPM project
in Ecuador and strong IPM results in Argentina.

North America growth was driven by increased offshore revenue as a result of higher drilling and exploration
activities. This increase was largely offset by a decline in land as a result of a reduction in rig count and pricing
weakness in the areas of drilling, stimulation and wireline, although the downward pricing trend slowed during the
second and third quarters.

Full-year 2013 pretax operating income of $9.3 billion increased 15% versus the same period last year as
international pretax operating income of $6.88 billion increased 24%, while North America pretax operating income of
$2.7 billion was flat.

Pretax operating margin of 20.6% increased 119 bps, as international pretax operating margin expanded 225 bps to
22.2%, while North America pretax operating margin declined 55 bps to 19.7%. The expansion in international margins
was due to increased high-margin exploration, seismic and deepwater activities, while the North American margin
contraction was due to continued pricing pressure.

Reservoir Characterization Group

Full-year revenue of $12.5 billion was 10% higher than the same period last year led by Testing Services,
WesternGeco, Wireline and SIS Technologies, primarily due to market share gains and higher exploration activity in
both offshore and key international land markets.

20

Pretax operating margin increased 226 bps to 29.4% largely due to the higher-margin exploration activities that

benefited Testing Services and Wireline Technologies.

Drilling Group

Full-year revenue of $17.1 billion was 9% higher than the previous year primarily due to the robust demand for
Drilling & Measurements services as offshore drilling activity strengthened in the US Gulf of Mexico, Sub-Sahara
Africa, Russia and the Middle East & Asia Area and rig count increases in key international land markets, namely in
Saudi Arabia, China and Australia. Drilling Tools & Remedial and M-I SWACO Technologies expanded across all Areas
and IPM increased on projects in Iraq, Australia and Argentina.

Pretax operating margin increased 156 bps to 19.3% primarily due to Drilling & Measurements, which benefited from

higher-margin exploration activities both in North America offshore and in the international markets.

Production Group

Full-year revenue of $15.9 billion increased 8% year-on-year on increased Well Intervention activity and strong
international sales of Completion and Artificial Lift products and Well Services technologies. SPM also posted strong
growth. While North America land rig count declined, well and stage counts increased through drilling efficiency. Despite
the efficiency-driven activity increase, Well Services revenue in North America declined due to pricing weakness.

Pretax operating margin increased slightly by 72 bps to 16.4%. Margin expanded as a result of improved profitability
in SPM, Completions and Artificial Lift, partially offset by a margin decline in Well Services technologies, primarily in
North America, as a result of pricing pressure and cost inflation.

The increase in earnings of equity method investments in 2014 as compared to 2013 primarily reflects the strong
performance of a drilling service company in which Schlumberger has an investment, as well as the impact of the first
full year of results from the OneSubsea joint venture.

Interest Expense

Interest expense of $369 million in 2014 decreased by $22 million compared to 2013 primarily as the effect of an
increase in the weighted average debt balance of approximately $1.1 billion was more than offset by a 0.4% decrease in
the weighted average borrowing rates from 3.2% in 2013 to 2.8% in 2014.

Interest expense of $391 million in 2013 increased by $51 million compared to 2012 primarily due to an increase in
the weighted average debt balance of approximately $1.2 billion combined with a 0.1% increase in the weighted
average borrowing rates from 3.1% in 2012 to 3.2% in 2013.

Income Taxes

The Schlumberger effective tax rate was 25.2% in 2014, 21.3% in 2013, and 24.4% in 2012.
The Schlumberger effective tax rate is sensitive to the geographic mix of earnings. When the percentage of pretax
earnings generated outside of North America increases, the Schlumberger effective tax rate will generally decrease.
Conversely, when the percentage of pretax earnings generated outside of North America decreases, the Schlumberger
effective tax rate will generally increase.

The effective tax rate for both 2014 and 2013 was significantly impacted by the charges and credits described in Note
3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Excluding the impact of these charges and credits, the effective tax rate
in 2014 was 21.9% compared to 22.9% in 2013. The decrease in the effective tax rate, excluding the impact of charges
and credits, was primarily attributable to the change in the geographic mix of earnings and the favorable resolution of
tax examinations in certain jurisdictions.

The charges and credits recorded in both 2014 and 2013 had a significant impact on the effective tax rate because,
for the most part, they were not tax effective. However, the charges and credits in 2012 did not have a significant
impact on the effective tax rate. The decrease in the effective tax rate in 2013 as compared to 2012, excluding the
impact of charges and credits, was primarily attributable to the fact that Schlumberger generated a smaller proportion
of its pretax earnings in North America in 2013 as compared to 2012.

Charges and Credits

Schlumberger recorded significant charges and credits in continuing operations during 2014, 2013 and 2012. These
charges and credits, which are summarized below, are more fully described in Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial

(1) Includes depreciation of property, plant and equipment and amortization of intangible assets, multiclient seismic

data costs and SPM investments.

(2) “Free cash flow” represents cash flow from operations less capital expenditures, SPM investments and multiclient
seismic data capitalized. Management believes that this is an important measure because it represents funds
available to reduce debt and pursue opportunities that enhance shareholder value such as acquisitions and
returning cash to shareholders through stock repurchases and dividends.

program for shares of Schlumberger common stock, to be acquired before December 31, 2011. On July 21, 2011,
the Board approved an extension of this repurchase program to December 31, 2013. This program was completed
during the third quarter of 2013.

On July 18, 2013, the Board approved a new $10 billion share repurchase program to be completed at the latest
by June 30, 2018. Schlumberger had repurchased $6.4 billion of shares under this new share repurchase program
as of December 31, 2014. Schlumberger is accelerating this share repurchase program with the aim of
completing it in 2.5 years as compared to the original target of 5 years.

(cid:129) Net cash provided by operating activities was $11.2 billion in 2014, $10.7 billion in 2013 and $6.9 billion in 2012.
The increase in net cash flow from operations in 2014 as compared to 2013 was largely attributable to an
increase in earnings before non-cash charges and credits and depreciation and amortization expense. The
improvement in net cash flow from operating activities in 2013 as compared to 2012 reflected a strong working
capital performance despite an 8.5% increase in revenue.

At times in recent years, Schlumberger has experienced delays in payments from its national oil company
customer in Venezuela. Schlumberger operates in approximately 85 countries. At December 31, 2014, only three
of those countries individually accounted for greater than 5% of Schlumberger’s accounts receivable balance, of

24

which only one, the United States, represented greater than 10%. Venezuela represented less than 5% of
Schlumberger’s accounts receivable balance at December 31, 2014.

(cid:129) Dividends paid during 2014, 2013 and 2012 were $1.97 billion, $1.61 billion and $1.43 billion, respectively.

On January 15, 2015, Schlumberger announced that its Board had approved a 25% increase in the quarterly
dividend, to $0.50.

On January 16, 2014, Schlumberger announced that its Board had approved a 28% increase in the quarterly
dividend to $0.40.

On January 17, 2013, Schlumberger announced that its Board had approved a 13.6% increase in the quarterly
dividend to $0.3125.

(cid:129) Capital expenditures were $4.0 billion in 2014, $3.9 billion in 2013 and $4.7 billion in 2012. Capital expenditures

are expected to approach $3.4 billion for the full year 2015.

(cid:129) During 2014, 2013 and 2012 Schlumberger made contributions of $390 million, $538 million and $673 million,
respectively, to its postretirement benefit plans. The US pension plans were 86% funded at December 31, 2014
based on the projected benefit obligation. This compares to 96% funded at December 31, 2013.

Schlumberger’s international defined benefit pension plans were a combined 94% funded at December 31, 2014
based on the projected benefit obligation. This compares to 104% funded at December 31, 2013.

Schlumberger currently anticipates contributing approximately $400 million to its postretirement benefit plans
in 2015, subject to market and business conditions.

On January 20, 2015, Schlumberger announced that it has entered into an agreement to acquire a minority
ownership of approximately 45% in Eurasia Drilling Company Limited, the largest provider of onshore drilling services
in Russia. The cost of this transaction, which is expected to close during the first quarter of 2015, is approximately
$1.7 billion in cash.

Schlumberger maintains a €5.0 billion Guaranteed Euro Medium Term Note program. This program provides for the
issuance of various types of debt instruments such as fixed or floating rate notes in Euro, US dollar or other currencies.
Schlumberger has issued €0.5 billion 1.50% Guaranteed Notes due 2019 and €1.0 billion 2.75% Guaranteed Notes due
2015 under this program.

As of December 31, 2014, Schlumberger had $7.5 billion of cash and short-term investments on hand. Schlumberger
had separate committed debt facility agreements aggregating $3.9 billion with commercial banks, of which $2.3 billion
was available and unused as of December 31, 2014. The $3.9 billion of committed debt facility agreements included $3.5
billion of committed facilities which support commercial paper programs. Schlumberger believes that these amounts
are sufficient to meet future business requirements for at least the next 12 months.

The total outstanding commercial paper borrowings were $1.538 billion as of December 31, 2014 and $95 million as

of December 31, 2013.

Represents an estimate of contractual obligations in the ordinary course of business. Although these contractual obligations are considered
enforceable and legally binding, the terms generally allow Schlumberger the option to reschedule and adjust its requirements based on
business needs prior to the delivery of goods.

Refer to Note 18 Pension and Other Benefit Plans of the Consolidated Financial Statements for details regarding

Schlumberger’s pension and other postretirement benefit obligations.

As discussed in Note 14 Income Taxes of the Consolidated Financial Statements, included in the Schlumberger
Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2014 is approximately $1.4 billion of liabilities associated with uncertain
tax positions in the over 100 jurisdictions in which Schlumberger conducts business. Due to the uncertain and complex
application of tax regulations, combined with the difficulty in predicting when tax audits throughout the world may be
concluded, Schlumberger cannot make reliable estimates of the timing of cash outflows relating to these liabilities.

Schlumberger has outstanding letters of credit/guarantees which relate to business performance bonds, custom/
excise tax commitments, facility lease/rental obligations, etc. These were entered into in the ordinary course of
business and are customary practices in the various countries where Schlumberger operates.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States requires Schlumberger to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of
revenue and expenses. The following accounting policies involve “critical accounting estimates” because they are
particularly dependent on estimates and assumptions made by Schlumberger about matters that are inherently
uncertain. A discussion of all of Schlumberger’s significant accounting policies is included in Note 2 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements.

Schlumberger bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be
reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying
values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these
estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Multiclient Seismic Data

The WesternGeco business capitalizes the costs associated with obtaining multiclient seismic data. The carrying
value of the multiclient seismic data library at December 31, 2014 and 2013 was $793 million and $667 million,
respectively. Such costs are charged to Cost of revenue based on the percentage of the total costs to the estimated total
revenue that Schlumberger expects to receive from the sales of such data. However, under no circumstances will an
individual survey carry a net book value greater than a 4-year, straight-line amortized value.

The carrying value of surveys is reviewed for impairment annually as well as when an event or change in
circumstance indicates an impairment may have occurred. Adjustments to the carrying value are recorded when it is
determined that estimated future revenues, which involve significant judgment on the part of Schlumberger, would not
be sufficient to recover the carrying value of the surveys. Significant adverse changes in Schlumberger’s estimated
future cash flows could result in impairment charges in a future period. For purposes of performing the annual
impairment test of the multiclient library, larger surveys, which are typically prefunded by customers, are analyzed for
impairment on a survey by survey basis and other smaller surveys are analyzed based on two pools of surveys: United
States and non-United States. The United States and non-United States pools were determined to be the most
appropriate level at which to perform the impairment review based upon a number of factors, including (i) various
macroeconomic factors that influence the ability to successfully market surveys, and (ii) the focus of the sales force
and related costs.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Schlumberger maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts in order to record accounts receivable at their net
realizable value. Judgment is involved in recording and making adjustments to this reserve. Allowances have been
recorded for receivables believed to be uncollectible, including amounts for the resolution of potential credit and other
collection issues such as disputed invoices. Depending on how such potential issues are resolved, or if the financial
condition of Schlumberger customers were to deteriorate resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments,
adjustments to the allowance may be required.

26

Goodwill, Intangible Assets and Long-Lived Assets

Schlumberger records the excess of purchase price over the fair value of the tangible and identifiable intangible
assets acquired and liabilities assumed as goodwill. The goodwill relating to each of Schlumberger’s reporting units is
tested for impairment annually as well as when an event, or change in circumstances, indicates an impairment may
have occurred.

Under generally accepted accounting principles, Schlumberger has the option to first assess qualitative factors to
determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not
that the fair value of one of its reporting units is greater than its carrying amount. If, after assessing the totality of
events or circumstances, Schlumberger determines it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is
greater than its carrying amount, then there is no need to perform any further testing. However, if Schlumberger
concludes otherwise, then it is required to perform the first step of a two-step impairment test by calculating the fair
value of the reporting unit and comparing the fair value with the carrying amount of the reporting unit. If the fair value
of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the implied fair
value of the goodwill of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value.

Schlumberger has the option to bypass the qualitative assessment for any reporting unit in any period and proceed

directly to performing the first step of the two-step goodwill impairment test.

For purposes of performing the impairment test for goodwill, Schlumberger’s reporting units are its three Groups:
Reservoir Characterization, Drilling and Production. Schlumberger elected to perform the qualitative assessment
described above for purposes of its annual goodwill impairment test in 2014. Based on this assessment, Schlumberger
concluded that it was more likely than not that the fair value of each of its reporting units was greater than its carrying
amount. Accordingly, no further testing was required.

Long-lived assets, including fixed assets, intangible assets and investments in SPM projects, are reviewed for
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. In
reviewing for impairment, the carrying value of such assets is compared to the estimated undiscounted future cash
flows expected from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. If such cash flows are not sufficient to support
the asset’s recorded value, an impairment charge is recognized to reduce the carrying value of the long-lived asset to
its estimated fair value. The determination of future cash flows as well as the estimated fair value of long-lived assets
involves significant estimates on the part of management. If there is a material change in economic conditions or other
circumstances influencing the estimate of future cash flows or fair value, Schlumberger could be required to recognize
impairment charges in the future.

Income Taxes

Schlumberger conducts business in more than 100 tax jurisdictions, a number of which have tax laws that are not
fully defined and are evolving. Schlumberger’s tax filings are subject to regular audits by the tax authorities. These
audits may result in assessments for additional taxes which are resolved with the authorities or, potentially, through
the courts. Tax liabilities are recorded based on estimates of additional taxes which will be due upon the conclusion of
these audits. Estimates of these tax liabilities are made based upon prior experience and are updated in light of
changes in facts and circumstances. However, due to the uncertain and complex application of tax regulations, the
ultimate resolution of audits may result in liabilities which could be materially different from these estimates. In such
an event, Schlumberger will record additional tax expense or tax benefit in the period in which such resolution occurs.

Pension and Postretirement Benefits

Schlumberger’s pension and postretirement benefit obligations are described in detail

in Note 18 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements. The obligations and related costs are calculated using actuarial concepts, which
include critical assumptions related to the discount rate, expected rate of return on plan assets and medical cost trend
rates. These assumptions are important elements of expense and/or liability measurement and are updated on an
annual basis, or upon the occurrence of significant events.

The discount rate Schlumberger uses reflects the prevailing market rate of a portfolio of high-quality debt
instruments with maturities matching the expected timing of the payment of the benefit obligations. The following
summarizes the discount rates utilized by Schlumberger for its various pension and postretirement benefit plans:

(cid:129)

The discount rate utilized to determine the liability for Schlumberger’s United States pension plans and
postretirement medical plans was 4.15% at December 31, 2014 and 4.85% at December 31, 2013.

27

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

The weighted-average discount rate utilized to determine the liability for Schlumberger’s international pension
plans was 4.07% at December 31, 2014 and 4.76% at December 31, 2013.

The weighted-average discount rate utilized to determine expense for Schlumberger’s United States pension
plans and postretirement medical plans increased from 4.25% in 2013 to 4.85% in 2014.

The weighted-average discount rate utilized to determine expense for Schlumberger’s international pension
plans increased from 4.38% in 2013 to 4.76% in 2014.

The expected rate of return for our retirement benefit plans represents the average rate of return expected to be
earned on plan assets over the period that benefits included in the benefit obligation are expected to be paid. The
expected rate of return for Schlumberger’s United States pension plans has been determined based upon expected
rates of return for the investment portfolio, with consideration given to the distribution of investments by asset class
and historical rates of return for each individual asset class. The weighted average expected rate of return on plan
assets for the United States pension plans decreased from 7.50% in 2013 to 7.25% in 2014. The weighted average
expected rate of return on plan assets for the international pension plans was 7.50% in both 2014 and 2013. A lower
expected rate of return would increase pension expense.

Schlumberger’s medical cost trend rate assumptions are developed based on historical cost data, the near-term
outlook and an assessment of likely long-term trends. The overall medical cost trend rate assumption utilized to
determine the 2014 postretirement medical expense was 7.25% graded to 5% over the next ten years. The overall
medical trend rate assumption utilized to determine the postretirement medical liability at December 31, 2014 was

Investments in Affiliated Companies

Investments in Affiliated Companies on the consolidated balance sheet primarily reflects Schlumberger’s
investments in privately held companies, some of which are in the startup or development stages and are often still
defining their strategic direction. Such investments are inherently risky and their success is dependent on factors such
as technology development, market acceptance and their ability to raise additional funds. The technology being
developed by these companies may never materialize and they could fail. Schlumberger monitors its portfolio to
determine if any investment is other-than-temporarily impaired. If an investment is considered to be other-than-
temporarily impaired, it is written down to its fair value.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Schlumberger is subject to market risks primarily associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates and

interest rates.

As a multinational company, Schlumberger conducts business in approximately 85 countries. Schlumberger’s
functional currency is primarily the US dollar, which is consistent with the oil and gas industry. Approximately 81% of
Schlumberger’s revenue in 2014 was denominated in US dollars. However, outside the United States, a significant
portion of Schlumberger’s expenses is incurred in foreign currencies. Therefore, when the US dollar weakens in
relation to the foreign currencies of the countries in which Schlumberger conducts business, the US dollar-reported
expenses will increase.

A 5% increase or decrease in the average exchange rates of all the foreign currencies in 2014 would have changed
revenue by approximately 1%. If the 2014 average exchange rates of the US dollar against all foreign currencies had
strengthened by 5%, Schlumberger’s income from continuing operations would have increased by approximately 3%.
Conversely, a 5% weakening of the US dollar average exchange rates would have decreased income from continuing
operations by approximately 3%.

Please refer to Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of exchange rates as it relates to

Schlumberger’s operations in Venezuela.

Schlumberger maintains a foreign-currency risk management strategy that uses derivative instruments to protect its
interests from unanticipated fluctuations in earnings and cash flows caused by volatility in currency exchange rates.
Foreign currency forward contracts and foreign currency options provide a hedge against currency fluctuations either
on monetary assets/liabilities denominated in other than a functional currency or on expenses.

At December 31, 2014, contracts were outstanding for the US dollar equivalent of $6.8 billion in various foreign currencies

of which $2.5 billion relate to hedges of debt balances denominated in currencies other than the functional currency.

Schlumberger is subject to interest rate risk on its debt and its investment portfolio. Schlumberger maintains an
interest rate risk management strategy that uses a mix of variable and fixed rate debt combined with its investment
portfolio and occasionally interest rate swaps to mitigate the exposure to changes in interest rates. At December 31,
2014, Schlumberger had fixed rate debt aggregating approximately $9.6 billion and variable rate debt aggregating
approximately $3.7 billion before considering the effects of cross currency swaps.

Schlumberger’s exposure to interest rate risk associated with its debt is also partially mitigated by its investment
portfolio. Both Short-term investments and Fixed income investments, held to maturity, which totaled approximately
$4.8 billion at December 31, 2014, are comprised primarily of money market funds, time deposits, certificates of
deposit, commercial paper, bonds and notes, substantially all of which are denominated in US dollars. The average
return on investment was 0.7% in 2014.

Schlumberger does not enter into derivatives for speculative purposes.

1. Business Description

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Schlumberger Limited (Schlumberger N.V., incorporated in Curaçao) and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively,
“Schlumberger”) comprise the world’s leading supplier of technology, integrated project management and information
solutions to the international oil and gas exploration and production industry.

2. Summary of Accounting Policies

The Consolidated Financial Statements of Schlumberger have been prepared in accordance with accounting

principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Schlumberger, its wholly-owned
subsidiaries, and other subsidiaries over which it exercises a controlling financial interest. All significant intercompany
transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure
of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses
during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, Schlumberger evaluates its estimates, including those related to
collectibility of accounts receivable; recoverability of fixed assets, goodwill, intangible assets, Schlumberger Production
Management investments and investments in affiliates; income taxes; multiclient seismic data; contingencies and
actuarial assumptions for employee benefit plans. Schlumberger bases its estimates on historical experience and other
assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for
making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.
Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Revenue Recognition

Schlumberger recognizes revenue based upon purchase orders, contracts or other persuasive evidence of an
arrangement with the customer that include fixed or determinable prices provided that collectibility is reasonably
assured. Revenue is recognized for services when they are rendered. Revenue is recognized for products upon delivery
and when the customer assumes the risks and rewards of ownership.

Revenue from seismic contract services performed on a dayrate basis is recognized as the service is performed.
Revenue from other services, including pre-funded multiclient surveys, is recognized as the seismic data is acquired
and/or processed on a proportionate basis as work is performed. This method requires revenue to be recognized based
upon quantifiable measures of progress, such as square kilometers acquired. Multiclient data surveys are licensed or
sold to customers on a non-transferable basis. Revenue from sales of completed multiclient data surveys is recognized
upon obtaining a signed licensing agreement and providing customers with access to such data.

Revenue is occasionally generated from contractual arrangements that include multiple deliverables. Revenue from
these arrangements is recognized as each item is delivered based on their relative fair value, provided that the
delivered items have stand-alone value to the customer.

Revenue derived from the sale of licenses of Schlumberger software may include installation, maintenance,
consulting and training services. If services are not essential to the functionality of the software, the revenue for each
element of the contract is recognized separately based on its respective vendor specific objective evidence of fair value
when all of the following conditions are met: a signed contract is obtained, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or
determinable and collectibility is probable.

Translation of Non-United States Currencies

The functional currency of Schlumberger is primarily the US dollar. Assets and liabilities recorded in functional
currencies other than US dollars are translated at period-end exchange rates. The resulting adjustments are charged or
credited directly to the Equity section of the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Revenue and expenses are translated at the

37

weighted-average exchange rates for the period. Realized and unrealized transaction gains and losses are included in
income in the period in which they occur. Transaction losses of $67 million, $24 million and $37 million, net of hedging
activities, were recognized in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Short-term and Fixed Income Investments

The Consolidated Balance Sheet reflects the Schlumberger investment portfolio separated between current and
long term, based on maturity. Both Short-term investments and Fixed Income Investments, held to maturity are
comprised primarily of money market funds, time deposits, certificates of deposit, commercial paper, bonds and notes,
substantially all of which are denominated in US dollars. Under normal circumstances Schlumberger intends to hold
such investments until maturity, with the exception of $194 million of investments at December 31, 2013 that are
considered trading. Short-term investments designated as trading are stated at fair value, which is estimated using
quoted market prices for those or similar investments. All other investments are stated at cost plus accrued interest,
which approximates market. The unrealized gains/losses on investments designated as trading were not significant at
December 31, 2013.

For purposes of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, Schlumberger does not consider Short-term

investments to be cash equivalents.

Fixed Income Investments, held to maturity at December 31, 2014 of $442 million mature as follows: $49 million in

2016, $91 million in 2017, $298 million in 2018, $3 million in 2019 and $1 million in 2020.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at average cost or at market, whichever is lower. Costs included in Inventories consist of

materials, direct labor and manufacturing overhead.

Investments in Affiliated Companies

Investments in companies in which Schlumberger does not have a controlling financial interest, but over which it
has significant influence are accounted for using the equity method. Schlumberger’s share of the after-tax earnings of
equity method investees is included in Interest and other income. Investments in privately held companies in which
Schlumberger does not have the ability to exercise significant influence are accounted for using the cost method.
Investments in publicly traded companies in which Schlumberger does not have significant influence are accounted for
as available-for-sale marketable securities. These marketable securities are reported at fair value, based on quoted
market prices, with unrealized gains and losses reported as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive loss.
The fair value of these marketable securities was $91 million and $257 million at December 31, 2014 and 2013,
respectively. The cost basis of these marketable securities was $81 million at both December 31, 2014 and 2013.

Equity and cost method investments as well as investments in publicly traded companies are classified as

Investments in Affiliated Companies in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Fixed Assets and Depreciation

Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation, which is provided for by charges to income over the
estimated useful lives of the assets using the straight-line method. Fixed assets include the manufacturing cost of
oilfield technical equipment manufactured or assembled by subsidiaries of Schlumberger. Expenditures for
replacements and improvements are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operating expenses as
incurred. Upon sale or other disposition, the applicable amounts of asset cost and accumulated depreciation are
removed from the balance sheet and the net amount, less proceeds from disposal, is charged or credited to income.

Multiclient Seismic Data

The multiclient library consists of completed and in-process seismic surveys that are licensed on a nonexclusive
basis. Schlumberger capitalizes costs directly incurred in acquiring and processing the multiclient seismic data. Such
costs are charged to Cost of revenue based on the percentage of the total costs to the estimated total revenue that
Schlumberger expects to receive from the sales of such data. However, under no circumstance will an individual survey
carry a net book value greater than a 4-year, straight-line amortized value.

The carrying value of the multiclient library is reviewed for impairment annually as well as when an event or change
in circumstance indicating impairment may have occurred. Adjustments to the carrying value are recorded when it is

38

determined that estimated future cash flows, which involves significant judgment on the part of Schlumberger, would
not be sufficient to recover the carrying value of the surveys. Significant adverse changes in Schlumberger’s estimated
future cash flows could result in impairment charges in a future period.

Schlumberger Production Management

Schlumberger Production Management (SPM) projects are focused on developing and co-managing the production
of Schlumberger customers’ assets under long-term agreements. Schlumberger will invest its own services, products
and in some cases cash, into the field development activities and operations. Although in certain arrangements
Schlumberger is paid for a portion of the services or products it provides, generally Schlumberger will not be paid at
the time of providing its services or upon delivery of its products. Instead, Schlumberger is compensated based upon
cash flow generated or on a fee-per-barrel basis for any incremental production Schlumberger helps deliver above a
mutually agreed baseline.

Schlumberger capitalizes its cash investments in a project as well as the direct costs associated with providing
services or products for which Schlumberger will be compensated if incremental production is achieved. Revenue is
recognized as the incremental production is achieved. These capitalized investments are amortized to the
Consolidated Statement of Income as incremental oil production is achieved based on the units of production method,
whereby each incremental unit produced is assigned a pro-rata portion of the unamortized costs based on estimated
total incremental production, resulting in a matching of revenue with the applicable costs.

The unamortized portion of Schlumberger’s investments in SPM projects was approximately $1.411 billion and
$1.154 billion at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. These amounts are included within Other Assets in
Schlumberger’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. In 2014, Schlumberger revised its Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows
to present certain cash outflows relating to SPM activities as a separate line item within investing activities, referred to
as SPM investments. Schlumberger historically presented such cash outflows as an operating activity. This change was
not material to prior periods.

Goodwill, Intangible Assets and Long-lived Assets

Schlumberger records the excess of purchase price over the fair value of the tangible and identifiable intangible
assets acquired and liabilities assumed as goodwill. The goodwill relating to each of Schlumberger’s reporting units is
tested for impairment annually as well as when an event, or change in circumstances, indicates an impairment may
have occurred.

Under generally accepted accounting principles, Schlumberger has the option to first assess qualitative factors to
determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not
that the fair value of one of its reporting units is greater than its carrying amount. If, after assessing the totality of
events or circumstances, Schlumberger determines it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is
greater than its carrying amount, then there is no need to perform any further testing. However, if Schlumberger
concludes otherwise, then it is required to perform the first step of a two-step impairment test by calculating the fair
value of the reporting unit and comparing the fair value with the carrying amount of the reporting unit. If the fair value
of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the implied fair
value of the goodwill of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value.

Schlumberger has the option to bypass the qualitative assessment for any reporting unit in any period and proceed

directly to performing the first step of the two-step goodwill impairment test.

For purposes of performing the impairment test for goodwill, Schlumberger’s reporting units are its three Groups:
Reservoir Characterization, Drilling and Production. Schlumberger elected to perform the qualitative assessment
described above for purposes of its annual goodwill impairment test in 2014. Based on this assessment, Schlumberger
concluded that it was more likely than not that the fair value of each of its reporting units was greater than its carrying
amount. Accordingly, no further testing was required.

Long-lived assets, including fixed assets, intangible assets and investments in SPM projects, are reviewed for
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. In
reviewing for impairment, the carrying value of such assets is compared to the estimated undiscounted future cash
flows expected from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. If such cash flows are not sufficient to support
the asset’s recorded value, an impairment charge is recognized to reduce the carrying value of the long-lived asset to
its estimated fair value. The determination of future cash flows as well as the estimated fair value of long-lived assets

39

involve significant estimates on the part of management. If there is a material change in economic conditions or other
circumstances influencing the estimate of future cash flows or fair value, Schlumberger could be required to recognize
impairment charges in the future.

Intangible assets consist primarily of customer relationships, technology/technical know-how and tradenames
acquired in business combinations. Customer relationships are generally amortized over periods ranging from 15 to
28 years, acquired technology/technical know-how are generally amortized over periods ranging from 10 to 18 years,
and tradenames are generally amortized over periods ranging from 15 to 30 years.

Taxes on Income

Schlumberger computes taxes on income in accordance with the tax rules and regulations of the many taxing
authorities where the income is earned. The income tax rates imposed by these taxing authorities vary substantially.
Taxable income may differ from pretax income for financial accounting purposes. To the extent that differences are
due to revenue or expense items reported in one period for tax purposes and in another period for financial accounting
purposes, an appropriate provision for deferred income taxes is made. Any effect of changes in income tax rates or tax
laws are included in the provision for income taxes in the period of enactment. When it is more likely than not that a
portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized in the future, Schlumberger provides a corresponding
valuation allowance against deferred tax assets.

Schlumberger’s tax filings are subject to regular audit by the tax authorities in most of the jurisdictions in which it
conducts business. These audits may result in assessments for additional taxes which are resolved with the authorities
or, potentially, through the courts. Schlumberger recognizes the impact of a tax position in its financial statements if
that position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. Tax
liabilities are recorded based on estimates of additional taxes which will be due upon the conclusion of these audits.
Estimates of these tax liabilities are made based upon prior experience and are updated in light of changes in facts and
circumstances. However, due to the uncertain and complex application of tax regulations, the ultimate resolution of
audits may result in liabilities which could be materially different from these estimates. In such an event,
Schlumberger will record additional tax expense or tax benefit in the year in which such resolution occurs.

Schlumberger generally does not provide income taxes relating to undistributed earnings, as the earnings either

would not be taxable when remitted or are considered to be indefinitely reinvested.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Schlumberger’s assets that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, short-term
investments, fixed income investments held to maturity, receivables from clients and derivative financial instruments.
Schlumberger places its cash, short-term investments and fixed income investments held to maturity with financial
institutions and corporations, and limits the amount of credit exposure with any one of them. Schlumberger regularly
evaluates the creditworthiness of the issuers in which it invests. Accounts receivable are spread over many countries
and customers. Schlumberger maintains an allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable based on expected
collectibility and performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition. By using derivative financial
instruments to hedge certain exposures, Schlumberger exposes itself to some credit risk. Schlumberger minimizes this
credit risk by entering into transactions with high-quality counterparties, limiting the exposure to each counterparty
and monitoring the financial condition of its counterparties.

Research & Engineering

All research and engineering expenditures are expensed as incurred.

Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share of Schlumberger from continuing operations is calculated by dividing income from
continuing operations attributable to Schlumberger by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
during the year. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing income from continuing operations attributable to
Schlumberger by the sum of (i) unvested restricted stock units and (ii) the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding assuming dilution. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding assuming dilution
assumes that all in-the-money stock options are exercised at the beginning of the period and the related proceeds are
used by Schlumberger to purchase shares of its common stock at the average market price for the period.

Employee stock options to purchase 5 million, 12 million and 21 million shares of common stock at December 31,
2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, were outstanding but not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share
because the option exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common stock, and therefore the
effect on diluted earnings per share would have been anti-dilutive.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU)
2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This ASU amends the existing accounting standards for revenue
recognition and is based on the principle that revenue should be recognized to depict the transfer of goods or services
to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration a company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or
services. Schlumberger is required to adopt this ASU on January 1, 2017 and does not expect this ASU to have a
material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements and Property, Plant, and
Equipment – Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity, which
amends the definition of a discontinued operation by raising the threshold for a disposal to qualify as a discontinued
operation. The threshold under the ASU is defined as a strategic shift that has, or will have, a major effect on an
entity’s operations and financial results such as a disposal of a major geographical area or a major line of
business. Schlumberger adopted this ASU, on a prospective basis, effective January 1, 2015.

Charges and Credits

Schlumberger recorded the following charges and credits in continuing operations during 2014, 2013 and 2012:

2014

(cid:129) Due to the expectation of lower exploration spending as a result of lower commodity prices, during the fourth
quarter of 2014, Schlumberger decided to restructure its WesternGeco marine seismic fleet in order to lower its

41

operating costs. Three previous-generation acquisition vessels with lower towing capacity and higher operating
costs will be converted to source vessels, allowing for the termination of two third-party source vessel leases and
the retirement of two owned source vessels.

As a result of this restructuring, Schlumberger performed an impairment test and determined that the carrying
values of certain of its vessels exceeded their respective fair values by $590 million. This impairment charge
relates to the six Explorer-class vessels which were acquired at a premium in the 2007 purchase of Eastern Echo
Holdings Plc. The fair value of these vessels was estimated primarily based on the replacement cost method,
which was largely based on unobservable inputs that required significant judgments.

In addition to the $590 million impairment charge relating to these six vessels, Schlumberger also recorded an
$85 million impairment charge relating to a seismic intangible asset and $131 million of other charges primarily
related to lease termination costs and other seismic assets as a result of the restructuring. Schlumberger did not
incur any significant cash expenditures as a result of these charges.

(cid:129) During 2014, Venezuela enacted certain changes to its foreign exchange system such that, in addition to the
official rate of 6.3 Venezuelan Bolivares fuertes per US dollar, there are currently two other legal exchange rates
that may be obtained via different exchange rate mechanisms. These changes included the expansion of what is
known as the SICAD I auction rate and the introduction of the SICAD II auction process. The SICAD I and
SICAD II exchange rates were approximately 11 and 50 Venezuelan Bolivares fuertes to the US dollar,
respectively, at December 31, 2014.

Although the functional currency of Schlumberger’s operations in Venezuela is the US dollar, a portion of the
transactions are denominated in local currency. Schlumberger has historically applied the official exchange rate
to remeasure local currency transactions and balances into US dollars.

Effective December 31, 2014, Schlumberger concluded that it was appropriate to apply the SICAD II exchange rate
as it now believes that this rate best represents the economics of Schlumberger’s business activity in Venezuela. As
a result, Schlumberger recorded a $472 million devaluation charge during the fourth quarter of 2014.

Going forward, this change will result in a reduction in the US dollar reported amount of local currency
denominated revenues, expenses and, consequently, income before taxes and net income. For example, if
Schlumberger had applied an exchange rate of 50 Venezuelan Bolivares fuertes to the US dollar throughout 2014,
it would have reduced Schlumberger earnings by approximately $0.08 per share.

(cid:129)

In response to lower commodity pricing and anticipated lower exploration and production spending in 2015,
Schlumberger decided during the fourth quarter of 2014 to reduce its overall headcount primarily to better align
with anticipated activity levels for 2015. As a result of these reductions, Schlumberger recorded a charge of $296
million in the fourth quarter of 2014. Depending on how the market situation evolves, further actions may be
necessary, which could result in additional charges in future periods.

(cid:129) During the fourth quarter of 2014, Schlumberger determined that, primarily as a result of the recent decline in
commodity prices, the carrying value of its investment in an SPM development project in the Eagle Ford Shale
was in excess of its fair value. Accordingly, Schlumberger recorded a $199 million impairment charge. The fair
value of this investment was estimated based on the projected present value of future cash flows, which included
unobservable inputs that required significant judgments.

(cid:129) During the fourth quarter, Schlumberger recorded a $152 million provision relating to accounts receivable from

a client in Brazil that filed for bankruptcy.

(cid:129) During the second quarter, Schlumberger recorded a $1.028 billion gain as a result of the deconsolidation of its
subsea business in connection with the formation of the OneSubsea joint venture with Cameron International
Corporation (“Cameron”). Refer to Note 4 – Acquisitions for further details.

(cid:129) During the second quarter, Schlumberger recorded a $222 million impairment charge relating to an investment
in a company involved in developing drilling-related technology and a $142 million impairment charge relating
to an investment in a contract drilling business.

(cid:129)

In February 2013, Venezuela’s currency was devalued from the prior exchange rate of 4.3 Bolivar Fuertes per
US dollar to 6.3 Bolivar fuertes per US dollar. As a result, Schlumberger recorded a $92 million devaluation
charge during the first quarter of 2013.

4. Acquisitions

Formation of OneSubsea Joint Venture

On June 30, 2013, Schlumberger and Cameron completed the formation of OneSubsea, a joint venture to
manufacture and develop products, systems and services for the subsea oil and gas market. Schlumberger and Cameron
each contributed all of their respective subsea businesses to the joint venture and Schlumberger made a $600 million
cash payment to Cameron. Schlumberger owns 40% of OneSubsea and accounts for this investment under the equity
method. Schlumberger recognized a pretax and after-tax gain of $1.028 billion, which is classified as Gain on
formation of OneSubsea in the Consolidated Statement of Income, as a result of the deconsolidation of its subsea
business. This gain is equal to the difference between the fair value of the Schlumberger subsea business, which was
determined based on the present value of its estimated future cash flows, and its carrying value at the time of closing.

43

Other

Schlumberger made other acquisitions and investments for cash payments, net of cash acquired, of $1.008 billion
during 2014, $610 million during 2013, and $845 million during 2012. Additionally, during 2014, Schlumberger issued
2.1 million shares of its common stock, valued at $213 million, in connection with an acquisition. None of these
transactions were significant to Schlumberger’s consolidated financial statements, individually or in the aggregate.

On January 20, 2015, Schlumberger announced that it has entered into an agreement to acquire a minority
ownership of approximately 45% in Eurasia Drilling Company Limited, the largest provider of onshore drilling services
in Russia. The total cost of this transaction, including an option which will allow Schlumberger, at its election, to
purchase the remaining shares during a two-year period commencing on the third anniversary of the closing of the
transaction, is approximately $1.7 billion in cash. This transaction is expected to close during the first quarter of 2015.

(1) Schlumberger maintains a €5.0 billion Guaranteed Euro Medium Term Note program that provides for the issuance
of various types of debt instruments such as fixed or floating rate notes in euro, US dollar or other currencies. The
following is a summary of outstanding debt that was issued under this program:

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

Schlumberger issued €0.5 billion 1.50% Guaranteed Notes due 2019 in the fourth quarter of 2013. Schlumberger
entered into agreements to swap these euro notes for US dollars on the date of issue until maturity, effectively
making this a US dollar denominated debt on which Schlumberger will pay interest in US dollars at a rate equal
to three-month LIBOR plus approximately 64 basis points.
Schlumberger issued €1.0 billion 2.75% Guaranteed Notes due 2015 in the fourth quarter of 2010. Schlumberger
entered into agreements to swap these euro notes for US dollars on the date of issue until maturity, effectively
making this a US dollar denominated debt on which Schlumberger will pay interest in US dollars at a rate of
2.56%.

(2) Schlumberger entered into agreements to swap these dollar notes for euros on the date of issue until maturity,
effectively making this a euro-denominated debt on which Schlumberger pays interest in euros at a rate of 2.39%.

Schlumberger Limited fully and unconditionally guarantees the securities issued by certain of its subsidiaries,

including securities issued by Schlumberger Investment SA, a wholly-owned finance subsidiary of Schlumberger.

At December 31, 2014, Schlumberger had separate committed debt facility agreements aggregating $3.9 billion with
commercial banks, of which $2.3 billion was available and unused. This included $3.5 billion of committed facilities
which supports commercial paper programs, of which $250 million mature in July 2016, $1.75 billion mature in July
2018 and $1.5 billion mature in November 2018. Interest rates and other terms of borrowing under these lines of credit
vary from country to country.

Commercial paper borrowings are classified as long-term debt to the extent of their backup by available and unused
committed credit facilities maturing in more than one year and to the extent it is Schlumberger’s intent to maintain
these obligations for longer than one year. Borrowings under the commercial paper program at December 31, 2014
were $1.5 billion, all of which were classified within Long-term debt in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. At
December 31, 2013, borrowings under the commercial paper program were $95 million, all of which were classified
within Long-term debt – current portion in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

The weighted average interest rate on variable rate debt as of December 31, 2014 was 1.3%.
Long-term Debt as of December 31, 2014, is due as follows: $1.6 billion in 2016, $1.0 billion in 2017, $1.9 billion in

2018, $0.9 billion in 2019, $2.7 billion in 2021, $1.0 billion in 2022 and $1.5 billion in 2023.

The fair value of Schlumberger’s Long-term Debt at December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was $10.7 billion and

$10.4 billion, respectively, and was estimated based on quoted market prices.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

Schlumberger is exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange
rates. To mitigate these risks, Schlumberger utilizes derivative instruments. Schlumberger does not enter into
derivative transactions for speculative purposes.

Interest Rate Risk

Schlumberger is subject to interest rate risk on its debt and its investment portfolio. Schlumberger maintains an
interest rate risk management strategy that uses a mix of variable and fixed rate debt combined with its investment
portfolio and occasionally interest rate swaps to mitigate the exposure to changes in interest rates.

During the fourth quarter of 2013, Schlumberger entered into a cross currency swap for a notional amount of €0.5
billion in order to hedge changes in the fair value of Schlumberger’s €0.5 billion 1.50% Guaranteed Notes due 2019.
Under the terms of this swap, Schlumberger will receive interest at a fixed rate of 1.50% on the euro notional amount
and pay interest at a floating rate of three-month LIBOR plus approximately 64 basis points on the US dollar notional
amount.

This cross currency swap is designated as a fair value hedge of the underlying debt. This derivative instrument is
marked to market with gains and losses recognized currently in income to largely offset the respective gains and losses
recognized on changes in the fair value of the hedged debt.

At December 31, 2014, Schlumberger had fixed rate debt aggregating $9.0 billion and variable rate debt aggregating

$4.3 billion, after taking into account the effect of the swap.

Short-term investments and Fixed income investments, held to maturity, totaled $4.8 billion at December 31, 2014.
The carrying value of these investments approximated fair value, which was estimated using quoted market prices for
those or similar investments.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

As a multinational company, Schlumberger conducts its business in approximately 85 countries. Schlumberger’s
functional currency is primarily the US dollar. Approximately 81% of Schlumberger’s revenues in 2014 was
denominated in US dollars. However, outside the United States, a significant portion of Schlumberger’s expenses is
incurred in foreign currencies. Therefore, when the US dollar weakens (strengthens) in relation to the foreign
currencies of the countries in which Schlumberger conducts business, the US dollar–reported expenses will increase
(decrease).

Schlumberger is exposed to risks on future cash flows to the extent that the local currency is not the functional
currency and expenses denominated in local currency are not equal to revenues denominated in local currency.
Schlumberger is also exposed to risks on future cash flows relating to certain of its fixed rate debt which is
denominated in currencies other than the functional currency. Schlumberger uses foreign currency forward contracts
and foreign currency options to provide a hedge against a portion of these cash flow risks. These contracts are
accounted for as cash flow hedges, with the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the hedge recorded on the
Consolidated Balance Sheet and in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss. Amounts recorded in Accumulated
Other Comprehensive Loss are reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods that the hedged item is
recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of hedging instruments, if any, is recorded
directly to earnings.

At December 31, 2014, Schlumberger recognized a cumulative net $96 million loss in Accumulated other
comprehensive loss relating to revaluation of foreign currency forward contracts and foreign currency options
designated as cash flow hedges, the majority of which is expected to be reclassified into earnings within the next
12 months.

Schlumberger is exposed to changes in the fair value of assets and liabilities which are denominated in currencies
other than the functional currency. While Schlumberger uses foreign currency forward contracts and foreign currency
options to economically hedge this exposure as it relates to certain currencies, these contracts are not designated as
hedges for accounting purposes. Instead the fair value of the contracts are recorded on the Consolidated Balance
Sheet and changes in the fair value are recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income as are changes in fair
value of the hedged item.

At December 31, 2014, contracts were outstanding for the US dollar equivalent of $6.8 billion in various foreign
currencies, of which $2.5 billion relate to hedges of debt denominated in currencies other than the functional currency.

Stock-based Compensation Plans

Schlumberger has three types of stock-based compensation programs: (i) stock options, (ii) a restricted stock,
restricted stock unit and performance share unit program (collectively referred to as “restricted stock”) and (iii) a
discounted stock purchase plan (“DSPP”).

Stock Options

Key employees are granted stock options under Schlumberger stock option plans. For all of the stock options
granted, the exercise price equals the average of the high and low sales prices of Schlumberger stock on the date of
grant; an option’s maximum term is ten years, and options generally vest in increments over five years.

The fair value of each stock option grant was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing

model with the following weighted-average assumptions and resulting weighted-average fair value per share:

Restricted Stock

During 2013, Schlumberger began granting performance share units to certain executives. The number of shares earned
is determined at the end of each performance period, which is generally three years, based on Schlumberger’s
achievement of a predefined return on capital employed (“ROCE”), as defined in the underlying performance share unit
agreement. In the event the ROCE exceeds the predefined target, shares for up to the maximum of 250% of the target
award may be granted. In the event the ROCE falls below the predefined target, a reduced number of shares may be

50

granted. If the ROCE falls below the threshold award performance level, no shares will be granted. As of December 31,
2014, performance share units of 0.6 million were outstanding based on the achievement of 100% of target.

All other restricted stock awards generally vest at the end of three years.
Restricted stock awards do not pay dividends or allow voting rights during the performance period. Accordingly, the
fair value of the restricted stock award is the quoted market price of Schlumberger’s stock on the date of grant less the
present value of the expected dividends not received during the vesting period.

Discounted Stock Purchase Plan

Under the terms of the DSPP, employees can choose to have a portion of their earnings withheld, subject to certain
restrictions, to purchase Schlumberger common stock. The purchase price of the stock is 92.5% of the lower of the
stock price at the beginning or end of the plan period at six-month intervals.

The fair value of the employees’ purchase rights under the DSPP was estimated using the Black-Scholes model with

the following assumptions and resulting weighted average fair value per share:

Contingencies

In 2009, United States officials began a grand jury investigation and an associated regulatory inquiry, both related to
certain historical Schlumberger operations in countries where Schlumberger no longer operates that are subject to
United States trade and economic sanctions. Governmental agencies and authorities have a broad range of civil and
criminal penalties that they may seek to impose for violations of trade and economic sanction laws including, but not
limited to, disgorgement, fines, penalties and modifications to business practices. In recent years, these agencies and
authorities have obtained a wide range of penalties in settlements with companies arising from trade and economic
sanction investigations, including in some cases forfeitures, fines and other penalties in the tens and hundreds of
millions of dollars. Schlumberger continues to cooperate and has been discussing the resolution of this matter with the
governmental authorities. During the second quarter of 2014, these discussions progressed to a point whereby
Schlumberger determined that it was appropriate to increase its liability for this contingency. Accordingly,
Schlumberger recorded a $205 million charge, which is reflected within Loss from discontinued operations in the
Consolidated Statement of Income. However, no certainty exists that a settlement will be reached or if so, the amount
of any such settlement. Therefore, the ultimate loss could be greater or less than the amount accrued.

Schlumberger and its subsidiaries are party to various other legal proceedings from time to time. A liability is
accrued when a loss is both probable and can be reasonably estimated. Management believes that the probability of a
material loss with respect to these other legal proceedings is remote. However, litigation is inherently uncertain and it
is not possible to predict the ultimate disposition of any of these proceedings.

Pension and Other Benefit Plans

Pension Plans

Schlumberger sponsors several defined benefit pension plans that cover substantially all US employees hired prior to

October 1, 2004. The benefits are based on years of service and compensation, on a career-average pay basis.

In addition to the United States defined benefit pension plans, Schlumberger sponsors several other international
defined benefit pension plans. The most significant of these international plans are the International Staff Pension
Plan and the UK pension plan (collectively, the “International plans”). The International Staff Pension Plan covers
certain international employees hired prior to July 1, 2014 and is based on years of service and compensation on a
career-average pay basis. The UK plan covers employees hired prior to April 1, 1999, and is based on years of service
and compensation, on a final salary basis.

The weighted-average assumed discount rate, compensation increases and the expected long-term rate of return on

plan assets used to determine the net pension cost for the US and International plans were as follows:

The unfunded liability represents the difference between the plan assets and the projected benefit obligation
(“PBO”). The PBO represents the actuarial present value of benefits based on employee service and compensation and
includes an assumption about future compensation levels. The accumulated benefit obligation represents the actuarial
present value of benefits based on employee service and compensation, but does not include an assumption about
future compensation levels.

The weighted-average allocation of plan assets and the target allocations by asset category are as follows:

Asset performance is monitored frequently with an overall expectation that plan assets will meet or exceed the

weighted index of its target asset allocation and component benchmark over rolling five-year periods.

The expected long-term rate of return on assets assumptions reflect the average rate of earnings expected on funds
invested or to be invested. The assumptions have been determined based on expectations regarding future rates of
return for the portfolio considering the asset allocation and related historical rates of return. The appropriateness of
the assumptions is reviewed annually.

The fair value of Schlumberger’s pension plan assets at December 31, 2014 and 2013, by asset category, is presented

below and was determined based on valuation techniques categorized as follows:

(cid:129) Level One: The use of quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments.

(cid:129) Level Two: The use of quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or
similar instruments in markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable in the market or can be
corroborated by observable market data.

(cid:129) Level Three: The use of significant unobservable inputs that typically require the use of management’s estimates

of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing.

US equities include companies that are well diversified by industry sector and equity style (i.e., growth and value strategies). Active and passive
management strategies are employed. Investments are primarily in large capitalization stocks and, to a lesser extent, mid- and small-cap stocks.
International equities are invested in companies that are traded on exchanges outside the US and are well diversified by industry sector,
country and equity style. Active and passive strategies are employed. The vast majority of the investments are made in companies in developed
markets with a small percentage in emerging markets.
Corporate bonds consist primarily of investment grade bonds from diversified industries.

(d) Government and government-related debt securities are comprised primarily of inflation-protected US treasuries and, to a lesser extent, other

government-related securities.
Collateralized mortgage obligations and mortgage backed-securities are debt obligations that represent claims to the cash flows from pools of
mortgage loans which are purchased from banks, mortgage companies, and other originators and then assembled into pools by governmental,
quasi-governmental and private entities.
Private equity includes investments in several fund of funds limited partnerships.
Real estate primarily includes investments in real estate limited partnerships, concentrated in commercial real estate.

Schlumberger’s funding policy is to annually contribute amounts that are based upon a number of factors including
the actuarial accrued liability, amounts that are deductible for income tax purposes, legal funding requirements and
available cash flow. Schlumberger currently anticipates contributing approximately $400 million to its postretirement
benefit plans in 2015, subject to market and business conditions.

Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions

Schlumberger provides certain healthcare benefits to certain former US employees who have retired. During the
fourth quarter of 2014 Schlumberger announced that, effective April 1, 2015, it will change the way it provides
healthcare coverage to certain retirees who are age 65 and over. Under the amended plan, these retirees will transfer
to individual coverage under the Medicare Exchange. Schlumberger will subsidize the cost of the program by providing
these retirees with a Health Reimbursement Account. The annual subsidy may be increased based on medical cost
inflation, but it will not be increased more than 5% in any given year. The benefit obligation relating to these retirees
represents approximately 66% of Schlumberger’s total accumulated benefit obligation for postretirement benefits other
than pensions as of December 31, 2014.

20. Discontinued Operations

During the second quarter of 2013, Schlumberger completed the wind down of its operations in Iran and, therefore,

has classified the historical results of this business as a discontinued operation.

During the second quarter of 2012, Schlumberger sold its Wilson distribution business to National Oilwell Varco Inc.
(“NOV”) for $906 million in cash, resulting in a pretax gain of $137 million ($16 million after-tax). During the third
quarter of 2012, Schlumberger completed the sale of its 56% interest in CE Franklin Ltd. to NOV for $122 million in
cash, resulting in a pretax gain of $30 million ($12 million after-tax). As Wilson and CE Franklin comprised
Schlumberger’s entire Distribution segment, the results of this entire segment have been classified as discontinued
operations in the Consolidated Statement of Income.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Schlumberger management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial
reporting as defined in Rule 13a – 15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Schlumberger’s internal
control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of
financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles.

Because of

its inherent limitations,

internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect
misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls
may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or
procedures may deteriorate.

Schlumberger management assessed the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2014. In making this assessment, it used the criteria set forth in 2013 by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control – Integrated Framework. Based on this
assessment Schlumberger’s management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2014, its internal control over
financial reporting is effective based on those criteria.

The effectiveness of Schlumberger’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014, has been
audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report
which appears herein.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
of Schlumberger Limited

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of income, of
comprehensive income, of stockholders’ equity and of cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of Schlumberger Limited and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2014 in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company
maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014, based
on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission in 2013. The Company’s management is responsible for these financial
for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the
statements,
effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements and
on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated audits. We conducted our audits in
accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards
require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all
material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal
control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting,
assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of
internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we
considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting
includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail,
accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable
assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only
in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable
assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s
assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of

its inherent limitations,

internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect
misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls
may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or
procedures may deteriorate.

Item 9.

Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.

None.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.

Schlumberger has carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of Schlumberger’s
including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and the Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the
management,
effectiveness of Schlumberger’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and
15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this
report. Based on this evaluation, the CEO and the CFO have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this
report, Schlumberger’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that
information required to be disclosed in the reports that Schlumberger files or submits under the Exchange Act is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange
Commission’s rules and forms. Schlumberger’s disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures
designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is
accumulated and communicated to its management, including the CEO and the CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosure. There has been no change in Schlumberger’s internal control over financial
reporting that occurred during the fourth quarter of 2014 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
materially affect, Schlumberger’s internal control over financial reporting.

Item 9B. Other Information.
