Letter to Shareholders

On  April  1,  2016,  Schlumberger  completed  its 
acquisition  of  Cameron  International,  combining 
our  complementary  portfolios  into  a  pore  to 
pipeline  products  and  services  offering  for  the 
oil  and  gas  industry.  The  transaction  enables  the 
creation of technology-driven growth by integrating 
Schlumberger  reservoir  and  well  technology  with 
Cameron  wellhead  and  surface  equipment,  flow 
control, and processing technology.

Schlumberger revenue of $27.8 billion in 2016 represented a decrease of 22% 
from 2015, despite three quarters of activity from the acquired Cameron Group, 
which contributed $4.2 billion in revenue. Excluding the Cameron Group, revenue 
declined 34%. This revenue drop was due to continued weakness in exploration and production spending as a result of the 
deepest and longest industry crisis in more than 30 years.

Paal Kibsgaard 
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

The year began with Brent crude prices experiencing the sharpest fall in 30 years to $26 per barrel in January 2016, thus 
continuing the downturn that the oil and gas industry endured during the previous year.

Given two successive years of investment cuts, oil supply growth slowed significantly despite record OPEC production. 
Non-OPEC production fell sharply, largely due to a significant drop in US light tight oil production. However, robust 
global demand enabled the oil market to tighten and draw down on the vast accumulation of crude and product stocks 
by midyear.

The year’s end was marked by OPEC and certain non-OPEC countries, including Russia, agreeing to cut production by a 
combined 1.7 million barrels per day. These agreements are expected to accelerate the drawdown of stocks in 2017 and 
have subsequently spurred a recovery in oil prices, which reached $55 per barrel at the end of 2016.

In the natural gas markets, US production declined during 2016 as a result of the drop in gas drilling activity, while 
demand growth was robust throughout the year. Low gas prices during most of 2016 encouraged the power sector to 
continue to favor gas over coal. The year was also marked by the start-up of the Sabine Pass liquefied natural gas (LNG) 
plant in Texas, which exported its first shipment in early 2016, thus starting a trend that should make the US the third 
largest exporter of LNG by the end of 2020.

Europe continued to see modest demand growth, due in part to coal plant retirements. Gas prices, however, fell to a 
seven-year low as supplies from Russia, Norway, and North Africa reached record highs. The Asian markets continued to 
be in slow growth mode, albeit with slight improvements in China. Nonetheless, oversupply persisted as Australian LNG 
exports ramped up, driving LNG prices down even further from the already low levels of 2015. The global outlook for LNG 
is largely unchanged, with continued oversupply and low prices.

Our financial performance in 2016 was severely impacted by the significant decrease in activity, particularly in North 
America, where the average land rig count dropped 46% as compared with the previous year. Supply overcapacity in the 
land market remained high for most of 2016, resulting in pricing pressure across a broad range of oilfield services. As a 
result, North America revenue, excluding the impact of Cameron, decreased 48% due to a decrease in US land revenue 
of 52%. Including the Cameron Group, North America revenue decreased 32%. Internationally, revenue declined 28%, 
excluding the impact of Cameron (17% including the Cameron Group) due to customer budget cuts, activity disruptions, 
and a shift in revenue mix that impacted our results in most basins and market segments around the world. Revenue in the 
Europe, CIS & Africa Area decreased due to lower demand for exploration 
and  development-related  products  and  services  as  E&P  budgets  were 
reduced, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa. In Latin America, revenue 
declined due to customer budget constraints across the area and, more 
specifically,  in  Venezuela,  where  operations  were  scaled  back  to  align 
with  collections.  Middle  East  &  Asia  revenue  decreased  primarily  due 
to reduced activity in Asia-Pacific countries, while robust activity in the 
Middle East was more than offset by pricing concessions.

Since  the  start  of  this  downturn,  and  as  it  deepened  during  2016, 
Schlumberger  has  navigated  the  commercial  landscape  by  balancing 
pricing concessions and market share and also by proactively removing 
significant  costs  through  workforce  reductions,  internal  efficiency 
improvements,  and  strong  supply  chain  management.  As  a  result, 
Schlumberger  has  delivered  superior  financial  results  by  maintaining 
pretax operating margins above 10% and delivering sufficient free cash 
flow  to  cover  a  range  of  strategic  capital  investments,  as  well  as  our 
ongoing dividend commitments. 

After  nine  quarters  of  unprecedented  activity  decline,  the  business 
environment stabilized in the third quarter of 2016 and revenue increased 
slightly in the fourth quarter, suggesting that the bottom of this cycle had 
been reached.

In spite of the activity decline, new technology sales across all Groups 
were sustained at 20% of total sales, which is above the levels seen in the 
previous downturn. The company’s commitment to technology innovation 
was reinforced with key commercializations, including the AxeBlade* 
ridged diamond element bit, which improves drilling rate of penetration 
in  a  wide  range  of  formations;  Maze*  microfluidic  SARA  analysis 
for  reservoir  fluids  characterization,  which  is  the  first  commercial 
application  of  microfluidic  analysis  technology  in  the  oil  and  gas 
industry; and OpenPath Sequence* diversion stimulation service, which 
sequentially diverts acid into additional clusters or zones to maximize 
wellbore coverage, resulting in more precise treatment placement and 
greater production in comparison with conventional methods.

Our health and safety performance, including the Cameron 
Group since the second quarter of 2016, has shown steady 
progress.  First,  the  total  recordable  injury  frequency 
decreased 13% to the lowest rate since we started keeping 
records  in  2000.  Our  automotive  accident  rate  for  the 
combined company showed a slight deterioration compared 
with  2015,  which  reinforces  our  commitment  to  improve 
driving  and  implement  journey  management  across  the 
entire company.

In terms of environmental performance, our technologies 
enabled our customers to lower their environmental impact 
while optimizing the recovery of nonrenewable resources. 
By  combining  our  advanced  technology  with  increased 
engagement  in  the  communities  where  we  work,  we  are 
achieving  lower  emissions,  decreased  water  usage,  and 
reduced  unplanned  releases  to  the  environment.  This  is 
documented in our Global Stewardship Reports.

”

When we aligned our resource structure with current activity levels, everyone at Schlumberger was affected by this difficult 
process because there is no easy way to let go of employees who are friends and colleagues. Despite these changes, we 
remain confident in our ability to serve our customers now and when market conditions improve.

We accelerated the pace of our transformation program as the year progressed. For example, we created the Field 
Deployment Lead organization and piloted our new IT platform in Ecuador. In addition, we trained more than 13,000 of 
our employees on the Schlumberger transformation and the methodology that will change the way we work, leading to 
improved performance for Schlumberger and our customers.

In our constructive view of the oil markets, the tightening of the supply and demand balance continued in the fourth 
quarter as seen by a steady draw in OECD stocks. Therefore, in the later parts of 2017 and leading into 2018 we expect to 
see accelerating growth in E&P investment in the main producing regions around the world driven by growth in demand, 
decreasing supply, and the challenge of replacing production lost to decline.

On behalf of the Schlumberger people located in more than 85 countries around the globe, I would like to thank our 
shareholders and customers for their confidence in us. I would also like to express my thanks to our employees, the best 
and most professional women and men in the oil and gas services industry, for their commitment and focus.

Performed by Schlumberger 

Schlumberger people are driven by excellence and the never-
ending  quest  to  exceed  expectations.  Their  unwavering 
commitment to customers, innovative technology, safety, and 
quality is the foundation for the company’s leading position in 
the oilfield services industry.

The Performed by Schlumberger program, started in 2001, 
recognizes projects and their team members throughout the 
company who have demonstrated excellence in teamwork, 
innovation, and business impact for Schlumberger.

In 2016, 740 projects from approximately 50 countries 
representing 55 distinct customers competed for the highest 
tribute, the Chairman’s Award. The award recognizes one 
project as an outstanding example of the company’s core 
values: our people, our commitment to technology, and our 
determination to produce superior profits.

The Integrated Services Management (ISM) team won 
this  year’s  Chairman’s  Award  for  its  contribution  to  the 
planning and services execution for Shell and its affiliates 
(Shell) on the Sail & Drill project—a dedicated mobile rig 
moving from country to country, covering Europe and Africa, 
drilling deepwater exploration and appraisal wells.

The ISM model collocated, integrated, and aligned the 
objectives of the Shell and Schlumberger teams. Schlumberger

achieved  HSE  “Goal  Zero”  on  this  flagship  project,  which 
concluded in February 2016 after drilling five wells in three 
countries—Benin, Turkey, and Gabon. The project drilled a 
total of 52,887 ft while successfully managing complicated 
logistics.

The Shell Sail & Drill project leveraged key aspects of 
the  Schlumberger  transformation  program.  Using  an 
integrated services model increased rigor in planning and 
execution and boosted overall service efficiency. In addition, 
product  and  process  reliability  contributed  to  strong 
operations integrity.

Shell acknowledged the key role ISM played in the project, 
in particular with its support during unplanned events. The 
Sail & Drill project is also a good example of a new business 
model to deliver a series of single-string venture wells.

Pore to Pipeline

In  its  2016  World  Energy  Outlook, 
the  International  Energy  Agency 
determined  that  demand  for  oil 
and  gas  would  require  more  than 
$17  trillion  in  upstream  invest-
ment from now until 2040. Despite 
record  investment  between  2010 
and  2014,  conventional  oil  discov-
eries  fell  to  a  70-year  low  in  2015 
and  the  number  of  conventional 
oil  projects  approved  for  devel-
opment  in  2016  dropped  to  the  
lowest level since the 1950s. How 
then  can  the  oil  and  gas  industry 
maintain  supply  to  meet  demand 
in the longer term with commodity 
prices likely remaining in a medium- 
for-longer environment?

7

Meeting the Challenge
The last two years have been a part of the deepest indus-
try downturn in more than 30 years. Competition between 
sources of supply from conventional and unconventional oil 
reservoirs  has  forced  commodity  prices  lower  as  produc-
tion exceeded demand. Yet, even before such competition 
began, the upstream industry was already technically and 
financially challenged when oil was trading at more than  
$100 a barrel.

For Schlumberger, the way to ensure that future invest-
ment can meet increased demand for oil and gas is by pro-
viding our customers technology and business models that 
improve efficiency and enable unprecedented levels of col-
laboration and integration across the full spectrum of E&P 
technology—from pore to pipeline. Our extensive history of 
building market-leading technologies is a solid foundation 
for providing the sustainable solutions the E&P industry 
needs to meet future demand.

Combining  technology  with  new  business  models  and 
advanced  integrated  systems  connects  our  customers  to 
the full potential of the domain expertise and data we can 
provide at every stage of the pore to pipeline process. We 
have the industry’s strongest platforms of individual and 
integrated  oilfield  technologies  that—coupled  with  our 
data, software, and domain expertise to exploit the value of 
information and knowledge—puts us in the ideal position to 
leverage the market recovery that has now begun to emerge.
In entering what we believe to be a medium-for-longer 
oil price environment, it has become clear that the oil and 
gas industry needs to change. Schlumberger is well ahead of 
this trend: for the last eight years, we have been implement-
ing a transformation program that focuses on changing the 
way we work. These changes are already positively affecting 
our long-term performance as well as that of our customers.

Building Technology Leadership 
Before 1930, petroleum engineers and geologists determined  
the nature of subsurface rocks based on the core samples 
or cuttings they extracted from boreholes. These methods, 
however, were neither a practical nor consistently reliable 
means to identify oil-bearing formations. The future of oil 
exploration  changed  significantly  in  1927  when  Conrad 
and  Marcel  Schlumberger  conducted  the  first  wireline  
log by creating  a way to measure the electrical resistivity  
of  rock  formations  in  boreholes  to  provide  insight  into 
hydrocarbon-bearing  formations  and  open  a  new  era  in  
reservoir characterization.

The  subsequent  evolution  of  the  Schlumberger  family 
business into the company it is today built on this founda-
tion of reservoir expertise and paved the way for signifi-
cant future growth. Now, 90 years since the company was 
founded, our Reservoir Characterization Group continues to 
be a driving force behind the development of new technol-
ogy. Combining our domain expertise and software applica-
tions with the ability to take measurements at a scale that 
ranges from the microns of a reservoir’s pores to the miles 
of an entire basin enables our customers to develop geolog-
ical models and simulations that can improve hydrocarbon 
production and recovery.

Following  a  number  of  moves  into  drilling-related 
activities that began in the 1950s, the acquisition of Smith 
International and Geoservices in 2010 led to the creation 
of  the  Schlumberger  Drilling  Group,  offering  a  complete 
range of drill bits, drilling tools, measurement- and logging- 
while-drilling  services,  drilling  fluids,  and  mud  
logging capabilities. The Group brings together all of the  
bottomhole assembly components into integrated downhole 
systems that leverage our knowledge of instrumentation, 
software, drilling optimization, and automation.

While we have actively built on the scientific platform 
of the Production Group portfolio, mergers and acquisitions 
have also added to our offering, beginning with the pur-
chase of Johnston Testers in 1956. The creation of Dowell 
Schlumberger  in  1960  brought  experience  in  pressure 
pumping  and  well  testing  and  the  acquisition  of  Camco 
International  in  1998  added  completion  hardware  that, 
combined with our reservoir expertise, enabled us to create  
an intelligent completion system capable of monitoring and 
controlling  the  reservoir  in  situ.  In  addition,  by  applying 
the  latest  advances  in  fluid  chemistry  with  our  subsur-
face knowledge to hydraulic fracturing, we have developed

data from an unconventional reservoir in the Schlumberger Digital Technology Theater in Houston, Texas.

technology that has improved well production and overall 
recovery while decreasing the wellsite footprint and reduc-
ing water and proppant consumption.

Our pore to pipeline journey starts with the technology 
used to fully characterize and understand the subsurface 
environment in which the well is to be drilled.

Historically, the focus of Schlumberger has been on the 
subsurface, in particular, on formation evaluation and the 
characterization of the reservoir. As we develop new ways 
of improving total system performance in drilling and pro-
duction, we see considerable untapped potential that can 
be harnessed through the integration of surface and sub-
surface technologies for more effective oil and gas explo-
ration  and  production.  Therein  lies  the  rationale  behind 
our merger with Cameron International in 2016, which has 
now created the industry’s first pore to pipeline portfolio of 
technology products and services.

The ongoing integration of Schlumberger reservoir and 
well technology with Cameron wellhead, flow control, and 
surface equipment into total drilling and production sys-
tems is set to provide a step change in performance that 
addresses the long-term production challenges the oil and 
gas industry faces.

Characterizing the Reservoir
During  its  life  cycle,  every  reservoir  passes  through  the 
same  stages,  but  some  of  the  most  critical  decisions  are 
made early on, from discovery to appraisal. Reservoir dis-
covery  initiates  an  intensive  data  acquisition  phase  that 
collects geological information from seismic surveys and 
cores, logs, and productivity tests.

The  Reservoir  Characterization  Group  brings  together 
domain  experts  from  multiple  petrotechnical  disciplines. 
Enabled  by  Schlumberger  technology  and  reservoir  work-
flows, these experts help determine and model reservoir prop-
erties for our customers. Seismic surveys are essential for this 
work because they provide the only measurement made at the 
reservoir scale for both the creation and refinement of reser-
voir models that decrease risk throughout the development 
planning and production management phases of the reservoir.

Two geoscientists review well trajectories for an onshore unconventional play in the Schlumberger Digital Technology Theater in Houston, 
Texas. The integration of petrophysical measurements and three-dimensional seismic data in the Petrel platform helps engineers develop 
predictive maps of sweet spots.

To  significantly  advance  the  quality  of  marine  seismic 
data, Schlumberger developed the Q-Marine* point-receiver 
marine seismic system and the Q-Seabed* multicomponent 
seabed seismic system. We have evolved offshore seismic 
surveys even further with IsoMetrix* marine seismic tech-
nology,  which  provides  the  most  detailed  imaging  of  the  
subsurface,  from  seabed  to  reservoir  in  every  direction. 
These detailed images help to reduce risk and uncertainty 
during field development planning.

Yet before the field development plan can unfold, the 
large-scale  view  of  the  field  must  transition  to  a  finer 
view, at the wellbore scale. To achieve this, our advanced 
wireline logging portfolio provides customers with a more 
complete understanding of complex reservoirs. For more 
than a decade, formation properties have been measured 
by the Scanner* rock and fluid characterization services 
family, which delivers a broad array of measurements and 
analysis—from water volume, salinity, and rock texture to  
fluid saturation, typing, and producibility. Given its mea-
surement reliability, wireline technology even has appli-
cations  beyond  the  Earth’s  subsurface.  For  example,  

NASA  evaluated  the  performance  of  Litho  Scanner*  
high-definition  spectroscopy  service  as  highly  effective 
in accurately measuring the bulk elemental composition  
of  rocks  toward  support  of  a  future  Venus  lander 
mission proposal.

Well logging is still one of our greatest strengths. It has 
evolved into a series of more than 100 different services. 
One of the most recent is Quanta Geo* photorealistic res-
ervoir  geology  service,  which  extends  the  generation  of 
wellbore images that accurately represent formation geol-
ogy to wells drilled with oil-base mud, where conventional 
imaging  tools  cannot  fully  function.  Quanta  Geo  service 
provides information about structural and sedimentologi-
cal features, helping to reveal the best methods to release 
hydrocarbons from the rock pores and how we can make 
them flow into the well.

By integrating geological and geophysical models with 
dynamic  well  test  data,  GeoTesting*  geology-based  well 
test design and interpretation services maximize the value 
of well tests. A plug-in for the Petrel* E&P software plat-
form,  GeoTesting  services  can  improve  characterization 

10

accuracy for the geologically complex reservoirs that make 
up a greater proportion of today’s oil and gas production.

It is also important to rapidly simulate flow performance 
to generate a variety of production scenarios. CoreFlow* 
digital rock and fluid analytics services create 3D rock and 
fluid models that enable operators to make informed deci-
sions in the span of a few days rather than months or years. 
By combining digital and physical rock and fluid analyses, 
CoreFlow  services  deliver  more  comprehensive  reservoir 
answers faster than compared with conventional methods 
to enhance understanding of the dynamic processes in the 
reservoir pore.

Supporting this enhanced understanding is our global 
network of rock and fluid analysis laboratories that pro-
vide industry-leading technologies and workflows for core 
processing and analysis, including advanced fluid inclu-
sion technology. The recently inaugurated Schlumberger 
Reservoir  Laboratory  in  Abu  Dhabi,  UAE,  is  our  latest 
state-of-the-art  rock  analysis  laboratory,  expanding  our 
network for customers in the Middle East and Asia.

Reservoir  characterization  must  thoroughly  evaluate 
downhole risks. This evaluation begins at the individual 
wellbore  environment  as  customers  bring  together  all 
available data into the Techlog* wellbore software platform  
for  analysis  and  validation.  The  answer  products  can 
then be seamlessly imported into a shared earth environ-
ment using the Petrel software platform, enabling petro- 
technical  experts  to  understand  and  characterize  the  
geology surrounding the wellbore, thus improving hydro-
carbon recovery.

These  software  platforms  are  complemented  by  
powerful physics engines, such as the INTERSECT* high- 
resolution  reservoir  simulator  for  quick  and  accurate 
simulation  of  reservoir  behavior  over  time  and  OLGA* 
dynamic  multiphase  flow  simulator  for  modeling  multi-
phase  transient  flow  within  the  production  system.  The 
engines  are  used  to  optimize  field  development  plans 
and  facilities  design  as  well  as  enable  superior  asset  
life cycle management. Schlumberger software builds on 
more  than  30  years  of  research  and  engineering  (R&E) 
investment.  This  investment  incorporates  deep  domain 
knowledge, supported by the industry’s largest team of petro- 
technical  experts,  and  the  latest  software  development 
practices and digital technology applications. More than 
3,500  companies  around  the  globe  use  our  software  to 
achieve their reservoir simulation goals.

“

NASA evaluated the performance of  
Litho Scanner service as highly  
effective in accurately measuring the

Our investment in science and knowledge together with 
our expertise in information systems is fueling the digital 
enablement of reservoir characterization to create a digital 
representation of the subsurface that leverages all available 
information in the planning, execution, and optimization of 
E&P operations. We are committed to continuing the tech-
nology leadership that this demands by increasing collabora-
tion and integration via cloud-native solutions based on both 
public and private cloud infrastructures. With the support of 
our Software Technology Innovation Center in Silicon Valley, 
we are able to partner with technology industry leaders and 
quickly appraise emerging digital technology, validate its 
value for our industry, and adopt it for our technology devel-
opment and offerings. 

Following  the  development  of  understanding  through 
reservoir characterization, the next step in the pore to pipe-
line journey is well construction, from bottomhole drilling 
assemblies incorporating bits and drilling tools to fluid sys-
tems and cementing.

Constructing the Well
The wellbore environment is harsh, requiring technological 
sophistication and efficient operational execution to deliver 
success. Every well and reservoir comprises a unique set 
of conditions, which is one of the reasons the industry has 
created separate drilling components with optimal perfor-
mance that can be combined to address the specific needs 
of each well.

To  improve  drilling  performance,  we  have  integrated 
the  entire  drilling  system—the  bottomhole  assembly, 
drilling  fluid,  drillstring,  and  surface  equipment—with 
a drilling workflow that uses data from all drilling system 
technologies.  The  acquisitions  of  Smith  International

Integrated Drilling System

For years, the industry has been applying discrete drilling technologies and depending on enhancements of these to improve 

performance.  While  this  has  produced  notable  technical  advancements,  the  logical  next  step  is  to  fully  integrate  the  well 

construction process by adopting a holistic, consistent, and collaborative approach to managing the entire drilling system.

Our platform of drilling technologies is the industry’s largest and broadest—the ideal starting position for our vision to 

revolutionize the well construction cycle by comprehensively integrating business and technical systems with domain-driven, 

best-in-class technology. The centerpiece is our land drilling system of the future, which represents the ultimate integrated 

drilling system.

The land drilling system of the future brings together our leading surface and downhole hardware with comprehensive 

optimization software and our established ability to leverage the value of the data to create a step change in operational 

efficiency. This development knits together years of research from our drilling center 

in  Cambridge,  England,  with  the  extensive  expertise  and  downhole  technology  of 

our Drilling Group product lines. From the drilling equipment portfolio of Cameron, 

we are integrating top drive, pipe handling, and blowout preventer technologies. The 

result is not the usual incremental change from individual products and services but 

a game-changing synergistic performance improvement.

Aided  by  a  central  Drilling  Technology  Integration  Center,  the  Schlumberger 

integrated drilling system redefines traditional workflows and crew member roles 

to reduce the total work hours and the resources required to drill a well. This highly 

collaborative  environment  increases  well  construction  efficiency,  minimizes  risks, 

and ultimately reduces cost per barrel.

mance  workflow.  The  first  is  increasing  overall  drilling  
efficiency,  which  is  a  function  of  the  rate  of  penetra-
tion and the overall time actually spent drilling. Drilling  
efficiency—spanning improved rock cuttings extraction, 
lower cost, and a smaller environmental footprint—is crit-
ical  for  the  economic  recovery  of  hydrocarbons.  To  meet 
this challenge, our PowerDrive* rotary steerable systems  
family helps steer wells in a wide variety of environments, 
from  ultrahigh  temperatures  of  392  degF  to  wells  with 
highly abrasive rocks. During the last decade, PowerDrive 
rotary steerable systems have drilled more than 200 million 
ft in wells from vertical to horizontal.

Drilling  performance,  including  improvements  in  the 
rate  of  penetration,  has  been  further  enhanced  by  new 
developments  in  drillbit  cutters  that  operate  in  three 
dimensions. For example, AxeBlade* ridged diamond ele-
ment bit technology employs a ridge-shaped geometry that 

cuts rock in a new way by combining the shearing action 
of a conventional polycrystalline diamond compact (PDC) 
cutter with the crushing action of a tungsten carbide insert.
Another important aspect for drilling efficiency is the 
fluid, or mud, used to lubricate the bit, transport cuttings 
from  the  bottom  of  the  wellbore  to  the  surface,  control 
pressure  to  prevent  unwanted  fluids  from  entering  the 
well, and maintain wellbore stability. Drilling mud effec-
tively reduces the torque, drag, and dispersion that can slow 
the drill bit’s rate of penetration by using oil, water, or a 
synthetic fluid as a base. However, in general, using an oil-
base mud for higher performance adds additional costs for 
the required transport and disposal of the resulting waste. 
The  cost-effective  solution  is  our  new  HydraGlyde*  high- 
performance water-base drilling system, which completely 
eliminates the waste and disposal costs while delivering a 
rate of penetration comparable to that of oil-base mud.

The second objective of the drilling performance work-
flow is precise well placement and formation evaluation to 
maximize  production  and  provide  quantitative  reservoir 

13

characterization. This requires the acquisition and inter-
pretation of a combination of surface and downhole mea-
surements that are used to guide, or “geosteer,” the drill 
bit  and  enhance  reservoir  characterization.  Accurate 
geosteering depends on real-time data from logging- and 
measurements-while-drilling  technologies.  GeoSphere* 
reservoir mapping-while-drilling service uses deep, direc-
tional electromagnetic measurements to reveal subsurface 
bedding and fluid contact details more than 100 ft from the 
wellbore. These measurements also help to refine the reser-
voir’s boundaries for maximizing reservoir exposure.

The  third  drilling  performance  workflow  objective  is 
wellbore evaluation and assurance, defined as protecting 
the integrity of the well throughout its productive life. Our 
leadership positions in petrotechnical skills, workflow pro-
cesses,  and  subsurface  engineering  help  our  customers

efficiently  evaluate  the  cement  placement  to  determine 
wellbore assurance. 

There is, however, another aspect of drilling integration 
that is vital across the entire well construction process: the 
combination of technology with domain experts and field-
proven operational processes. Located around the world, 
Schlumberger  Drilling  Technology  Integration  Centers 
provide 24/7 performance assurance for drilling operations 
on land and offshore. Remote support from the multidisci-
plinary technical specialists staffing the centers produces 
sustained reductions in nonproductive drilling time.

Now  that  Cameron  has  joined  Schlumberger,  our  well 
construction  portfolio  has  expanded  to  include  pressure 
control and topside drilling equipment and support services 
to shipyards, drilling contractors, E&P operators, and rental 
tool  companies.  This  expanded  set  of  products  and  ser-
vices, which offers a new market for Schlumberger, features 
Cameron blowout preventers (BOPs), BOP control systems, 
and marine drilling riser systems. Cameron brought the first 
BOP to market in 1922 and remains one of the industry’s 
leading manufacturers and technology providers.

The drilling process yields considerable volumes of data 
about the efficiency of the process itself and the subsur-
face environment. Digital technology that can accelerate 
the learning curve, improve efficiency, and ensure that the 
relevant  information  is  seamlessly  delivered  to  the  right 
people  at  the  right  time  is  now  beginning  to  change  the 
drilling process.

Once the well has been drilled, the next step in the pore 
to  pipeline  journey  is  completing  the  well,  from  setting  
the  casing,  liner,  and  production  tubing  to  perforating 
and installing monitoring and control systems as well as  
constructing the wellhead.

Completing the Well
Completion  technologies  unlock  hydrocarbons  from  rock 
pores and facilitate their flow to the wellbore. Completing 
a  well  usually  involves  installing  seamless  steel  pipe  to 
form a casing string with cement pumped into the annulus 
between the casing and the wellbore to zonally isolate the 
well. A stable path must then be created for the oil or gas to 
reach the surface.

Perforations are made in the casing to open the well-
bore  to  flow  before  stimulation  technologies  are  used  to 
maximize both flow rate and recovery. One technique in 
particular,  hydraulic  fracturing,  is  commonly  performed

platform with fluid delivery and flowback services delivers hydraulic fracturing fluid to the wellbore, including fluid flowback and any 
subsequent well testing operations.

on  oil  and  gas  wells  in  low-permeability  reservoirs.  This 
technique pumps engineered fluids at high rates and high 
pressures into the section to be produced, which creates 
fractures in the rock. The proppant mixed with the fluids, 
usually sand or ceramic spheres, keeps the fractures open 
so the oil and gas can flow to the wellbore. With the move to 
more oil and gas development in unconventional reservoirs 
in North America, a number of new technologies have been 
introduced to improve this process.

Since  its  deployment  in  2010,  the  HiWAY*  flow- 
channel fracturing technique has increased average well 
production  in  unconventional  reservoirs  by  20%  while 
also reducing proppant use by 40% and water use by 25%. 
Other  advanced  Schlumberger  technologies,  such  as 
BroadBand* unconventional reservoir completion services, 
further improve economics by ensuring that every fracture  
system is kept open from tip to wellbore. For example, one  
application of BroadBand Sequence* fracturing service in a  
horizontal well in the Wolfcamp Shale in the Midland basin 
in Texas increased production by 42%.

Unconventional  reservoir  operations  also  require  effi-
ciency  to  decrease  total  well  costs.  By  integrating  the 
CAMShale*  fracturing  fluid  delivery  and  flowback  service 
with Schlumberger downhole technologies, more streamlined 
operations can be achieved. In addition, by engaging a multi-
skilled workforce using Cameron surface equipment, more 
stages can be completed per day to lower total well costs.

Once a well has been stimulated, artificial lift pumps 
must  be  installed  because  only  about  5%  of  oil  and  gas 
wells  have  enough  pressure  to  flow  naturally.  Since  our 
1998  acquisition  of  Camco  International,  Schlumberger 
has  established  a  leadership  position  in  electric  
submersible pumps (ESP) through continuous development 
of REDA* ESP systems, the history of which goes back to 
1926.  Schlumberger  ESP  systems  now  have  integrated 
sensors that not only take the measurements necessary to 
optimize performance but also measure well pressure and 
temperature. These measurements can signal when pump  
performance is starting to decline or if the well needs work-
over operations to maintain production levels.

Integrated Completions System

The  rapid  development  of  unconventional  resources  in  North  America  has  led  to  innovative  new  technologies  that  have 

improved the efficiency and effectiveness of completion and production services. With activity set to grow in unconventional 

resource production both in North America and internationally, Schlumberger is focusing on the development of an integrated 

completion technology system.

A primary component of the integrated completion system is the hydraulic fracturing system of the future, which combines 

Production Group technologies with significant process reengineering and universal operating and optimization software. This 

new system interfaces our automated stimulation delivery platform with a range of Cameron pressure control and wellhead 

systems and the Schlumberger portfolio of comprehensive perforating, fracturing cleanup, and flowback services; the latest 

downhole completion technologies; and advanced fracturing fluids.

The  automated  stimulation  delivery  platform  is  a  complete 

redesign  of  bulk  handling,  mixing,  and  pumping  surface  equipment 

to  improve  reliability  through  automation,  real-time  data  capture, 

advanced  analytics,  and  predictive  equipment  health  models. 

Improved  equipment  reliability  leads  to  increased  operational 

efficiency, 

including  reduced  nonproductive  time  and  higher  

asset utilization.

The integration of fracturing fluid delivery and flowback services 

seamlessly  delivers  hydraulic  fracturing  fluid  to  the  wellbore, 

including fluid flowback and any subsequent well testing operations, 

while new operating software provides process-control monitoring 

of 

inventory  and  equipment  performance. 

Execution  via  standardized  work  processes 

for  operations  and  equipment  maintenance 

and  the  deployment  of  multiskilled  crews 

significantly  enhance  wellsite  efficiency  

and safety.

With  this  combination  of  industry-leading 

technologies,  software,  and  geoengineering 

workflows, 

the  Schlumberger 

integrated 

completions  system  of  the  future  is  expected 

to  deliver  highly  consistent  operational 

performance—reducing  the  cost  per  barrel 

and lowering the capital intensity of hydraulic 

fracturing operations.

The automated stimulation delivery platform shown above incorporates a self-contained proppant delivery and storage system  
that streamlines materials management; improves health, safety, and environmental performance; and increases operational efficiency. 
The image at the upper left shows frac trees and frac manifolds connected by Monoline* flanged-connection fracturing fluid delivery 
technology, which enable faster mobilization and increase fracturing uptime while requiring fewer technicians on location. Monoline 
technology simplifies the rig-up procedure by arriving on location preassembled, thereby reducing installation time by more than 60%.

16

The most common artificial lift method used, which is 
also the most economical in low flow conditions, is a rod lift 
system with progressing cavity pumps (PCPs). Beginning 
in May 2013, Schlumberger acquired 12 rod lift companies 
throughout North America as well as a leading market player 
in PCP systems. Currently, Schlumberger is the only pro-
vider of lift services throughout the full production life cycle 
that complement our highly collaborative and technology- 
based business models for pore to pipeline solutions.

During its lifetime, a producing well usually requires 
workover  operations  to  maintain,  improve,  or  restore  
production  through  mechanical  repair  or  fluid-based  
treatment.  Workover  operations  often  use  coiled  tubing  
systems  to  save  operating  costs  and  reduce  health, 
safety,  and  environmental  risks  by  avoiding  the  need  to 
install  a  rig.  ACTive*  real-time  downhole  coiled  tubing  
services  offer  an  advantage  by  using  fiber  optics  to  
accurately measure key well parameters, such as real-time 
pressure and temperature. The data can then be swiftly 
interpreted  to  optimize  production  flow  while  reservoir 
treatments are still in progress for completing the work-
over with only one trip in the wellbore.

Ultimately,  the  most  effective  way  to  avoid  workover 
operations  is  to  install  an  intelligent  completion  that 
incorporates  permanent  downhole  sensors  and  surface- 
controlled downhole flow control valves. These sensors and 
valves enable operators to monitor, evaluate, and manage 
production or injection in real time without the need for 
well interventions. The evolving challenges of large-scale 
developments  on  land  and  offshore,  as  well  as  the  need 
to  maximize  reservoir  contact,  ensure  well  integrity,  
and  manage  uncertainty,  were  the  impetus  behind  the  
development  of  the  Manara*  production  and  reservoir  
management system.

The  Manara  system  is  the  result  of  an  eight-year  
collaboration  between  Saudi  Aramco  and  Schlumberger 
to  develop  an  intelligent  completion  system  for  multi-
zone,  multilateral,  extended-reach,  and  extreme  
reservoir  contact  wells.  Integrating  30  patented  tech- 
nologies, the Manara system realizes permanent, real-time 
monitoring of downhole pressure, temperature, water cut, 
and  flow  rate  as  well  as  provides  in-lateral  flow  control 
of  zones.  This  high-level  monitoring  enables  engineers  
to  make  production  decisions  in  hours  rather  than  
the  typical  days  or  weeks  when  using  conventional  
completion systems.

This multidisciplinary team is using the Avocet* production opera-
tions software platform to analyze production data. By combining 
data and measurements acquired from production operations with 
simulation models, the Avocet platform provides technical insights 
into the reasons for production interruptions and shortfalls. 

With artificial lift systems operating in nearly every well, 
and the number of intelligent completion systems increas-
ing  every  year,  well  and  reservoir  data  are  more  readily 
available.  Advanced  software  solutions  to  manage  these 
intelligent completion systems provide a management tool 
to increase operational efficiency based on data intelligence 
that tracks performance, alerts operators about events, and 
pinpoints problems. At the same time, this management tool 
cuts through the sheer volume of big data, which can obscure 
understanding for taking the right action at the right time.

It  takes  the  Avocet*  production  operations  software 
platform  to  efficiently  and  cost-effectively  manage  pro-
duction  by  coupling  modeling  software  and  engineering

workflows. Designed to handle the complexities of produc-
tion operations, the Avocet software platform conditions, 
validates,  and  stores  high-frequency,  real-time  data  for 
creating a complete picture of field production over time. 
When operational conditions change, users have the tools 
to  identify  the  reasons  behind  production  discrepancies 
and use operational decision making and planning work-
flows that take into account the economic impact through-
out the life of the field.

With  the  reservoir  producing  to  the  surface,  the  next 
stage of the pore to pipeline journey concerns the produc-
tion systems that collect, separate, and treat the produc-
tion fluids before delivery to the pipeline.

Producing the Field
With  our  acquisition  of  Cameron,  Schlumberger  now  pro-
vides  technology  from  the  wellhead  to  the  pipeline  that 
recovers and stores hydrocarbons, manages water quality, 
controls and enhances asset performance, maintains well 
equipment, and monitors produced streams both on land and 
offshore. These technologies include surface and platform 

systems,  such  as  wellhead  and  production  trees,  chokes, 
safety, dry access production, artificial lift, separation and 
processing, valves and valve automation, and measurement.
The  separation  and  processing  systems  that  make 
up  the  production  facilities  for  a  given  onshore  field  are  
typically designed to not only treat the initial production, 
which includes varying amounts of gas, oil, and water, but 
also to accommodate the expected changes in production 
over time.

The removal and treatment of produced water, for exam-
ple,  requires  safe  and  reliable  handling  that  adheres  to 
international  environmental  standards  and  regulations. 
MYCELX® RE-GEN advanced water treatment media is used 
as a primary or secondary treatment method for removing 
oil  and  suspended  solids  without  the  use  of  chemicals. 
Optimizing  water  treatment  is  also  possible  with  a  50% 
smaller footprint using the EPCON Dual* compact flotation 
unit that simultaneously improves the efficiency with which 
oil and gas are removed from water. These technologies are 
only two of our many solutions to help increase operational 
efficiency while reducing operational cost.

Integrated Production System

Today’s production systems can take several years to design and build, thus delaying the time to first oil. But reservoir production 

is  not  consistent—it  changes  over  time.  Therefore,  facilities  must  be  designed  to  handle  the  most  challenging  processing 

conditions that could occur over the field’s productive life. These considerations often result in overdesign, further delays, and 

additional capital outlay.

The Schlumberger production system of the future, however, will provide a fully integrated facility connecting the subsurface 

and surface. The process will begin with downhole real-time measurements and controls to manage and match production to 

optimally designed surface processing facilities.

The reservoir and surface data will be used in the design of standard and custom-engineered process, separation, and 

treatment technologies for oil, gas, water, and solids. By integrating our broad portfolio of processing capabilities and industry-

leading subsurface modeling, the system will accommodate a wide range of production operating environments and accelerate 

the time to first oil.

Schlumberger integrated production and process facilities will be assembled in the field via modular, interchangeable units 

that readily allow easy modification and inclusion of necessary separation and treatment technologies from first oil to mature 

production. With the wealth of field knowledge available through extensive monitoring capabilities, our customers will benefit 

from data analytics and automation to efficiently manage the production facility’s level of autonomy.

Aligned to create value at every stage in the production life of a field—from fast-tracking first oil to peak and mature 

production rates—the modularity and flexibility of the Schlumberger integrated production system will enable optimization 

at  any  targeted  production  rate,  effluent  condition,  or  export  oil  quality  requirement.  The  result  is  fine-tuned  production 

performance and improved field economics.

Engineers review a computer-aided-design image of the Scurry Area Canyon Reef Operators Committee (SACROC) gas processing 
facility for CO2 reinjection and hydrocarbon recovery at the Digital Technology Theatre in Houston, Texas. This method of enhanced oil 
recovery frees the oil molecules from the reservoir’s pores so they can flow into the production wells, where they are then separated in 
facilities such as the one shown here. 

19

Once crude oil is gathered in tanks, it must be processed 
to  obtain  the  correct  quality  level,  which  can  be  a  time-
consuming process with a number of sensitive variables. 
The  NATCO  DUAL  FREQUENCY*  electrostatic  treater 
can  be  employed  to  meet  crude  export  regulations  by 
dehydrating and desalting crude oil with better efficiency 
than any other solution available. This technology reduces 
operating costs and provides customers with a faster return 
on investment.

Before crude oil is delivered to a refinery, it is blended 
to create crude with specific physical properties. Heavy and 
extraheavy  crudes,  for  example,  are  blended  with  lighter 
crude oils to reduce viscosity, which makes them easier to 
transport. Crude oil blending systems, part of the Cameron 
Group,  achieve  target  quality  by  instantly  responding  to 
changes while keeping production costs to a minimum. In

Draugen field in the North Sea. The system integration of Framo 
pumps represented the world’s first commercial subsea multi-
phase pump installation.

one operation, crude oil blending systems were installed in 
two separate terminals feeding four refineries. The systems 
were designed to blend a domestic high-wax crude into a 
flowing pipeline containing imported crude oil without caus-
ing wax deposition in the main pipeline. In more than four 
years of operation, these systems enabled the blending of 
significantly more waxy crude without deposition, thereby 
increasing customer revenue by millions of dollars per year.
Pipeline transmission of hydrocarbons depends heavily 
on the valves used and measurements made along the way. 
Schlumberger now has the industry’s most complete range 
of  valves  and  measurement  systems  for  midstream  and 
downstream markets through the acquisition of Cameron, 
which has more than 60 years of experience in the provision 
of valves for every environment found around the globe. This 
expertise also includes the fiscal and custody transfer mea-
surement of large volumes of oil and gas as well as the fully 
integrated measurement and control systems that enable 
customers to enhance products and processes in real time.
Offshore, and particularly in deepwater fields, operations 
are more complex. For three years prior to the 2016 acqui-
sition of Cameron by Schlumberger, the companies worked 
together  in  the  OneSubsea  joint  venture,  which  was  cre-
ated to extract value from the integration of Schlumberger 
reservoir and well technology with Cameron wellhead and 
surface equipment, flow control, and processing technology.
OneSubsea  combines  technology  and  innovation  to 
develop the integrated solutions, processing systems, and 
control systems that increase production and recovery in 
subsea  developments.  These  integrated  solutions  enable 
optimization of the entire system, from the reservoir to the 
surface, and include well completions and subsea produc-
tion systems. Offshore Australia, OneSubsea has developed 
the world’s first unified control system that spans the boost-
ing system and the subsea architecture, the well comple-
tion, and the landing string. This new integrated technology 
controls all seafloor operations at a lower capital cost per 
barrel. Furthermore, by accounting for changing conditions 
during the life of the field, our integrated solution can help 
our customers reach first oil faster, accelerate production, 
and increase recovery.

Prior to the creation of OneSubsea, Schlumberger had 
already established leadership in a few of the distinct parts 
of complete subsea systems, such as subsea landing string 
services that reduce risk by overcoming the complexity that 
deep  waters,  high  pressures,  and  extreme  temperatures 

Integrated Subsea Production System

To optimize production and recovery from the increasingly challenging reservoirs in subsea projects, the industry is developing 

more sophisticated subsea processing equipment and control systems with a focus on flow assurance and monitoring asset 

integrity. But it takes more than individual technological improvements to achieve a step change in subsea operations.

The  Schlumberger  integrated  subsea  production  system,  born  from  the  OneSubsea  joint  venture  established  in  2013, 

employs  a  pore  to  pipeline  approach  to  meet  these  challenges.  By  combining  reservoir  analysis  and  production  assurance 

with advanced subsea hardware engineering, OneSubsea is successfully delivering technology solutions that are substantially 

improving production performance and recovery.

This  robust  capability  comes  from  the  joined  knowledge  and  experience  of  Schlumberger  and  Cameron  implemented 

through  early  engagement  with  customers  during  field  development.  Our  deep  understanding  of  reservoir  dynamics,  asset 

modeling, production assurance, and subsea production and processing technologies informs a unique, innovative perspective 

that translates into effective performance throughout the field’s life to increase return on investment.

Complementing  the  integrated  system  framework,  OneSubsea  is  setting  new  technology  benchmarks,  such  as  the 

development of 20,000-psi subsea systems to meet the demands of high-pressure, high-temperature (HPHT) reservoirs. These 

systems complement current HPHT offerings and leverage the Cameron Group’s substantial experience with production trees 

and high-pressure, large-bore blowout preventers.

In the future, one way to improve the return and cash flow of offshore developments will be to take a more phased, modular 

approach, as opposed to deploying monolithic full-scale developments. Another option is the development of subsea fields by  

using  existing  surface  processing  and  production  facilities,  thereby  reducing  the  time  and  expense  required  to  build  new 

infrastructure. Through OneSubsea, Schlumberger is helping customers transform their subsea developments by integrating 

production operations, well performance, and reservoir management around a shared dynamic asset model.

place  on  subsea  operations.  We  also  lead  the  market  in 
subsea multiphase boosting and metering as well as wet 
gas  compression  through  the  2011  acquisition  of  Framo 
Engineering AS, a company that specialized in the business 
of developing and manufacturing multiphase and subsea 
pumps and multiphase metering systems. The acquisition 
followed  on  the  heels  of  a  14-year  collaboration  between 
Framo Engineering and Schlumberger for the development 
of multiphase metering.

Subsea oil and gas reservoirs present significant chal-
lenges owing to their high development cost and the need 
for complex well designs and advanced subsea architecture 
requirements. In addition, the technical and commercial 
limitations of subsea production typically result in recovery 
rates that are often less than half of those for traditional 
topside development. Although deepwater reserves account 
for approximately 10% of global oil reserves, the ability to 
maximize  recovery  from  every  subsea  project  expands 
the industry’s options for meeting the world’s increasing 
demand for energy.

Integrating Business Models
Integrating  technology  with  business  models  along  the 
pore  to  pipeline  journey  is  enabling  the  introduction  of  
better-aligned business models in which risk and reward 
are  shared  between  operators  and  service  companies 
throughout the life of the field. This approach leverages the 
complementary capabilities of our customers with our own.
Although as much as 80% of our work is still performed 
under  a  standard  single-product-line  contract  in  which 
we  price  our  differentiated  technologies  separately,  we

can also provide technical support during the operational 
phases of a customer’s project. At the simplest level, this 
begins with our Integrated Services Management (ISM) for 
which specially trained project managers provide sched-
uling, planning, and activity coordination for the various 
Schlumberger product lines involved in any given project.
At a more complex level, our Integrated Drilling Services 
(IDS) and Integrated Production Services (IPS) offerings 
provide project management, engineering design, and tech-
nical  optimization  capabilities  on  contracts  where  com-
mercial  terms  provide  performance-based  compensation 
to  Schlumberger  IPS.  For  IDS  contracts,  this  is  typically 
focused on how fast we can drill each well or how optimally 
we place it in the reservoir, whereas for IPS the contracts 
focus on turnkey intervention work or extracting incremen-
tal production for individual wells.

The highest level of integration we provide is through 
our Schlumberger Production Management (SPM) model, 
in which we take full-field management responsibility using 
the complete range of Schlumberger products, services, and 
technical expertise. The general scope of SPM agreements 
covers developing a subsurface model; creating a field devel-
opment plan; designing, drilling, and tying a large number 
of  wells  into  production;  and  managing  the  production 
and  associated  facilities.  The  development  may  require  
flowlines, gas gathering stations, a central processing plant, 
and the management of third parties.

In addition, SPM brings the integration of Schlumberger 
oilfield technologies along with access to world-class tech-
nical know-how and emerging technologies and workflows 
that  use  the  latest  reservoir  and  simulation  software. 
The benefits associated with SPM include rapid and cost- 
effective field acreage derisking, reduction of drilling and 
completion learning curves and costs, production optimiza-
tion, and improved recovery factors. These benefits result in 
improved cash flow, reduced operating costs, and decreased 
capital expenditure.

The  SPM  model  fills  a  growing  market  need  between 
the traditional service company and E&P company business 
models and generally involves the management of mature 
asset field redevelopment, greenfield development, or the 
development of unconventional resources. The longer-term 
nature  of  these  contracts  enables  Schlumberger  R&E  to 
develop fit-for-purpose technologies and methodologies to 
maximize operating efficiency, increase productivity, and 
reduce the environmental footprint.

In terms of risk management, SPM has developed rigor-
ous methodologies and standards to evaluate and manage 
each opportunity. SPM contracts, where we risk the value of 
our products and services and, in certain cases, additional 
cash investments, can reach up to 20 years in duration. With 
these contracts we are compensated for our work through 
the value of the production we generate from the field. 

The origins of SPM stem from Schlumberger Integrated 
Project  Management  (IPM),  which  since  1995  has  
provided project management services to customers around 
the  world,  including  production  management  services. 
Worldwide, more than 10,000 wells have been drilled and 
successfully brought to production—a performance backed 
by several thousand dedicated oilfield specialists, includ-
ing engineers and geoscientists specialized in world-class 
field development technologies. In 2016, we acquired Asset 
Development  and  Improvement  Limited  (ADIL),  which 
complements the asset development capability of SPM, and 

created a Center of Excellence for asset development for 
Schlumberger and its customers.

During the past 20 years, we have expanded the size,

to  the  point  that  today  we  comanage  approximately  
230,000 barrels per day of oil equivalent production.

Production management commercial models are flexible 
and performance based. Projects are executed under a long-

to incremental production. The commercial models include 
production  incentives  for  services,  technical  alliances  
with production gain share, comanaged assets remunerated 
on a tariff per barrel produced, and net profit incentive- 
based compensation. 

One such model involves the rapid development of low-

Digitally Connecting Pore to Pipeline
Schlumberger is the world’s leading oilfield services com-
pany.  For  more  than  90  years  we  have  steadily  grown,  
adding  new  products  and  services  to  our  technology  
portfolio while building a series of market-leading product 
lines. The major acquisitions of Camco International in 1998, 
Smith International in 2010, and Cameron International in 
2016 have enabled us to develop a unique pore to pipeline  
offering that now covers the full range of E&P services. 

The  E&P  industry  has  yet  to  realize  the  full  poten-
tial  that  data  can  offer.  Putting  the  right  information 
in  the  right  hands  at  the  right  time  is  critical,  and  only 
possible  if  backed  by  deep  domain  expertise.  At  the 

operational  level,  this  also  requires  that  the  individual  
technologies deployed in the field attain the highest pos-
sible  productivity  levels.  This  is  enabled  by  integrated 
systems  based  on  a  digital  infrastructure  that  permits 
the  validation,  application,  and  sharing  of  critical  infor-
mation. In turn, understanding operational workflows and  
building greater connections between technical domains 
can increase efficiency and minimize risk while seeking  
to overcome the complex challenges of the future.

As  the  industry  begins  to  recover  from  the  deepest 
downturn it has seen in more than 30 years, the breadth 
of  the  Schlumberger  portfolio  positions  us  well  in  any  
market. Combining technology with new business models  
and digital enablement connects our customers to the full 
potential of the domain expertise and data we can provide 
at every stage of the pore to pipeline process. With activities 
in more than 85 countries and employees who represent over  
140 nationalities, we offer a truly global approach.

generally focused on developing and co-managing production of customer assets under long-term
agreements. Schlumberger manages approximately 235,000 barrels per day of oil equivalent on behalf
of its clients. 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. This may include certain arrangements
whereby Schlumberger is only compensated based upon incremental production that it helps deliver
above a mutually agreed baseline.

Schlumberger believes that it is an industry leader in providing geophysical equipment and services, wireline
logging, well production testing, exploration and production software, surface equipment, artificial lift, coiled-
tubing services, drilling and completion fluids, solids control and waste management, drilling pressure control,
drill bits, measurement-while-drilling, logging-while-drilling, directional-drilling services and surface data (mud)
logging.

GENERAL

Intellectual Property

Schlumberger owns and controls a variety of intellectual property,
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 that 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, 2016, no single customer exceeded 10% of consolidated revenue. Other than
WesternGeco, and the OneSubsea and Drilling Systems businesses acquired in the Cameron transaction,
Schlumberger has no significant backlog due to the nature of its businesses. The WesternGeco backlog was
$0.8 billion at December 31, 2016 (the vast majority of which is expected to be recognized as revenue in 2017)
and $1.1 billion at December 31, 2015. The combined backlog of the OneSubsea and Drilling Systems businesses
was $3.1 billion at December 31, 2016, of which approximately 60% is expected to be recognized as revenue
during 2017.

Financial Information

Financial information by business segment and geographic area for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015
and 2014 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 our
customers. The current significant oil and gas industry downturn has resulted in reduced demand for
oilfield services, which has had, and may continue to have, a material adverse impact on our financial
condition, results of operations and cash flows. If these conditions worsen or oil and gas prices do not
improve, it could have a further 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 our customers for
the exploration, development and production of oil and natural gas reserves. These expenditures are generally
dependent on our customers’ views of future oil and natural gas prices and are sensitive to our customers’ views
of future economic growth and the resulting impact on demand for oil and natural gas. Since 2014, oil and gas
prices have declined significantly, resulting in lower expenditures by our customers. As a result, many of our
customers have reduced or delayed their oil and gas exploration and production spending, reducing the demand
for our products and services and exerting downward pressure on the prices that we charge. These conditions
have had, and may continue to have, an adverse impact on our financial condition.

The continued low oil and gas prices have caused a reduction in cash flows for our customers, which has had a
significant adverse effect on the financial condition of some of our customers. This has resulted, in and may
continue to result in, project modifications, delays and 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:

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

weather conditions.

There can be no assurance that the demand or pricing for oil and natural gas will follow historic patterns or
recover meaningfully in the near term. Continued or worsening conditions in the oil and gas industry could have
a further material adverse 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 over 85 countries in which we operate.

Our non-United States operations accounted for approximately 80% of our consolidated revenue in 2016, 76% in
2015 and 71% in 2014. Operations in countries other than the United States are subject to various risks,
including:

volatility in political, social and economic conditions;

exposure to expropriation of our assets or other governmental actions;

social unrest, acts of terrorism, war or other armed conflict;

confiscatory taxation or other adverse tax policies;

deprivation of contract rights;

trade and economic sanctions or other restrictions imposed by the United States, the European Union or
other countries;

restrictions under the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) or similar legislation;

restrictions on the repatriation of income or capital;

currency exchange controls;

inflation; and

currency exchange rate fluctuations and devaluations.

Our failure to comply with complex US and foreign laws and regulations could have a material adverse
effect on our operations.

We are subject to complex US and foreign laws and regulations, such as the FCPA, the U.K. Bribery Act and
various other anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws. We are also subject to trade control regulations and trade
sanctions laws that restrict the movement of certain goods to, and certain operations in, various countries or with
certain persons. Our ability to transfer people and products among certain countries is subject to maintaining
required licenses and complying with these laws and regulations. The internal controls, policies and procedures,
and employee training and compliance programs we have implemented to deter prohibited practices may not be
effective in preventing employees, contractors or agents from violating or circumventing such internal policies or
violating applicable laws and regulations. Any determination that we have violated or are responsible for
violations of anti-bribery, trade control, trade sanctions or anti-corruption laws could have a material adverse
effect on our financial condition. Violations of international and US laws and regulations or the loss of any
required licenses may result in fines and penalties, criminal sanctions, administrative remedies or restrictions on
business conduct, and could have a material adverse effect on our reputation and our business, operating results
and financial condition.

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 for new or increased liabilities that could reduce our earnings and our cash available
for operations.

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 certain 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 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 existing and future legislation or regulations.

Environmental advocacy groups and regulatory agencies in the United States and other countries have been
focusing considerable attention on the emissions of carbon dioxide, methane and other greenhouse gasses and
their potential role in climate change. 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

11

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.

The oilfield service industry is highly competitive. Our ability to continually provide competitive technology and
services can impact our ability to defend, maintain or increase prices for our services, maintain market share, and
negotiate acceptable contract terms with our customers. 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 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 adversely 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.

Cybersecurity risks and threats could adversely affect our business.

We rely heavily on information systems to conduct our business. There can be no assurance that the systems we
have designed to prevent or limit the effects of cyber incidents or attacks will be sufficient to prevent or detect
such incidents or attacks, or to avoid a material impact on our systems when such incidents or attacks do occur. 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.

2016 Executive Overview

On April 1, 2016, Schlumberger completed its acquisition of Cameron, combining their complementary
portfolios into a pore-to-pipeline products and services offering for the world’s oil and gas industry. The
transaction enables the creation of technology-driven growth by integrating Schlumberger reservoir and well
technology with Cameron wellhead and surface equipment, flow control and processing technology.

Schlumberger revenue of $27.8 billion in 2016 represented a decrease of 22% from 2015, despite three quarters
of activity from the acquired Cameron Group, which contributed $4.2 billion in revenue. Excluding the Cameron
Group, revenue declined 34%. This revenue drop was due to continued weakness in exploration and production
spending as a result of the deepest and longest industry crisis in more than 30 years.

The year began with Brent crude prices experiencing the sharpest fall in 30 years to $26 per barrel in January
2016, thus continuing the downturn that the oil and gas industry endured during the previous year.

Given two successive years of investment cuts, oil supply growth slowed significantly despite record OPEC
production. Non-OPEC production fell sharply, largely due to a significant drop in US light tight oil production.
However, robust global demand enabled the oil markets to tighten and draw down on the vast accumulation of
crude and product stocks by mid-year.

The year’s end was marked by OPEC and certain non-OPEC countries, including Russia, agreeing to cut
production by a combined 1.7 million barrels per day. These agreements are expected to accelerate the drawdown
of stocks in 2017 and have subsequently spurred a recovery in oil prices, which reached $55 per barrel at the end
of 2016.

In the natural gas markets, US production declined during 2016 as a result of the drop in gas drilling activity,
while demand growth was robust throughout the year. Low gas prices during most of 2016 encouraged the power
sector to continue to favor gas over coal. The year was also marked by the start-up of the Sabine Pass liquefied
natural gas (LNG) plant in Texas, which exported its first shipment in early 2016, thus starting a trend that
should make the US the third largest exporter of LNG by the end of 2020.

Europe continued to see modest demand growth due in part to coal plant retirements. Gas prices, however, fell to
a seven-year low as supplies from Russia, Norway and North Africa reached record highs. The Asian markets
continued to be in slow growth mode, albeit with slight improvements in China. Nonetheless, oversupply
persisted as Australian LNG exports ramped up, driving LNG prices down even further from the already
low-levels of 2015. The global outlook for LNG is largely unchanged, with continued oversupply and low prices.

Schlumberger’s financial performance in 2016 was severely impacted by the significant decrease in land-based
activity, particularly in North America where the average land rig count dropped 46% as compared to the
previous year. Supply overcapacity in the land market remained high for most of 2016, resulting in pricing
pressure across a broad range of oilfield services. As a result, North America revenue, excluding the impact of
the Cameron Group, declined 48% due to a decrease in US land revenue of 52%. Including the Cameron Group,
North America revenue decreased 32%. Internationally, revenue declined 28%, excluding the impact of Cameron
(17% including the Cameron Group) due to customer budget cuts, activity disruptions and a shift in revenue mix
that impacted Schlumberger’s results in most basins and market segments around the world. Revenue in the

18

Europe, CIS & Africa Area decreased due to lower demand for exploration and development-related products
and services as E&P budgets were reduced, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa. In Latin America, revenue
declined due to customer budget constraints across the Area and, more specifically, in Venezuela where
operations were scaled back to align with collections. Middle East & Asia revenue decreased primarily due to
reduced activity in Asia-Pacific countries, while robust activity in the Middle East was more than offset by
pricing concessions.

Since the start of this downturn, and as it deepened during 2016, Schlumberger has navigated the commercial
landscape by balancing pricing concessions and market share and also by proactively removing significant costs
through workforce reductions, internal efficiency improvements and strong supply chain management. As a
result, Schlumberger has delivered superior financial results by maintaining pretax operating margins well above
10% and delivering sufficient free cash flow to cover a range of strategic capital investments, as well as our
ongoing dividend commitments.

After nine quarters of unprecedented activity decline, the business environment stabilized in the third quarter of
2016 and revenue increased slightly in the fourth quarter, suggesting that the bottom of this cycle has been
reached.

Schlumberger expects the growth in E&P investments in 2017 to be led initially by land operators in North
America. E&P spending surveys currently indicate that 2017 E&P investments in North America will increase by
approximately 30%, which should lead to both higher activity and a recovery in service industry pricing.

Schlumberger expects the 2017 recovery in the international markets to proceed more slowly than in North
America. This will likely lead to a third successive year of underinvestment, with a continued low rate of new
project approvals and an accelerating production decline in the aging production base. These factors taken
together are increasing the likelihood of a significant supply deficit in the medium term, which can only be
avoided by a broad-based global increase in E&P spending, which is expected to start unfolding in the later parts
of 2017 and leading into 2018.

Fourth-quarter revenue of $7.1 billion increased 1% sequentially. This increase was primarily driven by the
Production Group, which grew 5% due to increased hydraulic fracturing activity in the Middle East and in North
America land.

Fourth-quarter pretax operating margin was essentially flat sequentially at 11.4% as margin improvements in the
Production and Drilling Groups were balanced by contractions in the Cameron and Reservoir Characterization
Groups.

Reservoir Characterization Group

Fourth-quarter revenue of $1.7 billion increased 1% sequentially due to the ramp-up in Testing & Process
activity in Kuwait and increased software license and maintenance sales. These effects were slightly offset by the
seasonal decrease in Wireline activity in Norway and Russia.

Pretax operating margin of 19% decreased 49 basis points (bps) sequentially as the increased contribution from
software and maintenance sales was more than offset by the decline in high-margin Wireline activities.

Drilling Group

Fourth-quarter revenue of $2.0 billion was flat sequentially as the continued strong directional drilling activity in
North America land was offset by lower drilling activity in the International Areas. The improvement in North
America revenue primarily came from increased uptake of Drilling & Measurements, Bits & Drilling Tools
technologies. The lower revenue in the International Areas was primarily due to completed Drilling &
Measurement projects, while the winter slowdown in Russia and Norway affected Drilling & Measurements and
M-I SWACO activity.

Pretax operating margin of 12% expanded 81 bps sequentially despite revenue being flat. This was largely due to
pricing improvements from greater uptake of drilling technologies on increasing activity on land in the US,
which mainly affected Drilling & Measurements and Bits & Drilling Tools.

Production Group

Fourth-quarter revenue of $2.2 billion increased 5% sequentially as a result of strong fracturing activity on
unconventional resource developments on land in the Middle East, mainly in Saudi Arabia, and in North America
where the land rig count and fracturing stage count increased. Revenue on land in the US increased both on
volume and on a modest pricing recovery.

Pretax operating margin of 6% increased 134 bps sequentially on increased activity, which drove efficiency and
better operational execution in the Middle East. The modest pricing recovery on land in the US also contributed
to the margin expansion.

20

Cameron Group

Fourth-quarter revenue of $1.3 billion was flat sequentially. Among the Group’s businesses, OneSubsea reported
an 11% sequential increase from strong project activity and execution, while Surface Systems posted strong sales
in the Middle East. These increases, however, were offset by a decline in revenue in Drilling Systems driven by a
declining backlog and lower bookings. Valves & Measurement was also lower following the prior quarter’s
strong international shipments.

Pretax operating margin of 14% declined 207 bps sequentially due to the drop in high-margin Drilling Systems
project volume.

Full-year 2016 revenue of $27.8 billion decreased 22% year-on-year. This included nine months of activity from
the acquired Cameron Group, which contributed $4.2 billion of revenue.

Full-year 2016 revenue from the Reservoir Characterization and Production Groups declined by 31% and 29%,
respectively, as a result of lower demand for exploration- and development-related products and services as E&P
budgets were further reduced. Drilling Group revenue fell 37% due to the rig count decline in both North
America and internationally.

21

Full-year 2016 pretax operating income margin decreased 658 bps to 12% as a result of the overall decline in
activity and pervasive pricing concessions. The margin decrease was highest in the Reservoir Characterization
Group, which contracted by 710 bps to 18%. Drilling Group pretax operating margin fell 710 bps to 12%, while
the Production Group decreased 669 bps to 6%. The Cameron Group posted a pretax margin of 16%.

Reservoir Characterization Group

Full-year 2016 revenue of $6.7 billion decreased 31% year-on-year primarily due to sustained cuts in exploration
and discretionary spending.

Year-on-year, pretax operating margin decreased 710 bps to 18% due to reduced high-margin Wireline and
Testing Services activities.

Drilling Group

Full-year 2016 revenue of $8.6 billion decreased 37% year-on-year primarily due to the severe drop in rig count
in both North America and internationally combined with pricing pressure that mainly affected Drilling &
Measurements and M-I SWACO activity.

Year-on-year, pretax operating margin decreased 710 bps to 12% primarily due to the significant decline in
higher-margin activities of Drilling & Measurements combined with pricing weakness.

Production Group

Full-year 2016 revenue of $8.7 billion decreased 29% year-on-year with most of the decrease attributable to a
decline in North America, particularly on Well Services pressure pumping technologies driven by activity
declines and pricing pressure as the land rig count declined dramatically.

Year-on-year, pretax operating margin decreased 669 bps to 6% as a result of lower activity and increasing
pricing pressure, which continued to impact North America land.

Cameron Group

Cameron Group contributed nine-month revenue of $4.2 billion and pretax operating margin of 16%. Revenue
was impacted by a declining project backlog as well as a further slowdown in North America land activity, which
also affected the short-cycle businesses of the Valves & Measurement and Surface product lines.

Pretax operating margin of 16% was driven by strong project execution and manufacturing efficiency in
OneSubsea and overall cost control across the Group.

Full-year 2015 revenue of $35.5 billion decreased 27% year-on-year. This decrease was primarily due to
customer budget cuts and pricing concessions as customers responded to lower commodity prices. Revenue was
also impacted by the fall of certain currencies against the US dollar, which accounted for approximately 20% of
the revenue decline.

Full-year 2015 revenue from the Reservoir Characterization and Drilling Groups declined by 27% and 25%,
respectively, as a result of lower demand as E&P budgets were reduced due to lower commodity prices.
Production Group revenue fell by 29% due to activity reductions and pricing pressure as the land rig count
dropped drastically in North America.

Full-year 2015 pretax operating income margin decreased 342 bps to 18% as a result of the overall decline in
activity combined with the pricing pressure which most notably impacted the businesses in North America.

Reservoir Characterization Group

Full-year 2015 revenue of $9.7 billion was 27% lower than the same period last year primarily due to sustained
customer cuts in exploration and discretionary spending that impacted all Technologies.

Year-on-year, pretax operating margin decreased 295 bps to 25% as a result of an unfavorable overall revenue
mix reflecting the decline in high-margin exploration activity as well as lower high-margin multiclient and
software sales.

23

Drilling Group

Full-year 2015 revenue of $13.6 billion was 25% lower than the previous year primarily due to the severe drop in
rig count in North America, reduced activity levels and service pricing concessions internationally. Unfavorable
currency effects in Russia and Venezuela also contributed to the decline.

Year-on-year, pretax operating margin decreased 228 bps to 19%, primarily due to a decrease in higher-margin
activities of Drilling & Measurements as well as pricing concessions. Despite the revenue decline, prompt action
on cost management and the benefit of a local cost structure that minimized the impact of unfavorable currency
effects on pretax operating income helped limit the operating margin decline.

Production Group

Full-year 2015 revenue of $12.3 billion decreased 29% year-on-year, with approximately two-thirds of the
decline attributable to Well Services pressure pumping technologies as a result of activity reductions and pricing
pressure as the land rig count declined dramatically in North America.

Year-on-year, pretax operating margin declined 531 bps to 13% as lower activity and increasing pricing pressure
continued in North America land.

The increase in interest income in 2016 as compared to 2015 and 2014 is primarily attributable to the higher cash
and short-term investment balances as a result of the issuance of $6.0 billion of Senior Notes during the fourth
quarter of 2015.

The decrease in earnings of equity method investments primarily reflects the effects of the downturn in the oil
and gas industry, which has negatively impacted the majority of Schlumberger’s investments in affiliates,
particularly those in North America. The decrease in 2016 also reflects the fact that Schlumberger stopped
recording equity income from the OneSubsea joint venture in April 2016 as a result of Schlumberger’s
acquisition of Cameron.

Interest Expense

Interest expense of $570 million in 2016 increased by $224 million compared to 2015 primarily due to the
issuance of $6.0 billion of Senior Notes during the fourth quarter of 2015 and the impact of the $3.0 billion of
debt assumed in the acquisition of Cameron.

Interest expense of $346 million in 2015 decreased by $23 million compared to 2014, as the impact of a higher
weighted average debt balance of approximately $0.5 billion was more than offset by a 30 bps decrease in the
weighted average borrowing rates from 2.8% in 2014 to 2.5% in 2015.

Although Research & engineering and General & administrative costs have either increased or remained flat as a
percentage of Revenue in 2016 as compared to 2015, they have decreased in absolute dollar terms as a result of
cost control measures that have been implemented, offset in part by the impact of the Cameron acquisition.

Income Taxes

The Schlumberger effective tax rate was 14.6% in 2016, 25.9% in 2015, and 25.2% in 2014.

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 each of 2016, 2015 and 2014 was significantly impacted by the charges and credits
described in Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements because they were only partially tax effective.
Excluding the impact of these charges and credits, the effective tax rate was 15.9% in 2016, 20.2% in 2015 and
21.9% in 2014. The decrease in the effective tax rate, excluding the impact of charges and credits, was primarily
attributable to a change in the geographic mix of earnings and the favorable resolution of tax examinations in
certain jurisdictions.

It is expected that the effective tax rate will gradually increase over the course of 2017 as a result of the expected
improvement in activity in North America.

Charges and Credits

Schlumberger recorded significant charges and credits in continuing operations during 2016, 2015 and 2014.

“Net Debt” represents gross debt less cash, short-term investments and fixed income investments, held to maturity.
Management believes that Net Debt provides useful information regarding the level of Schlumberger’s indebtedness by
reflecting cash and investments that could be used to repay debt. Net Debt is a non-GAAP financial measure that should
be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, or superior to, total debt.
Includes depreciation of property, plant and equipment and amortization of intangible assets, multiclient seismic data
costs and SPM investments.
Includes severance payments of approximately $850 million during 2016 and $810 million during 2015.
“Free cash flow” represents cash flow from operations less capital expenditures, SPM investments and multiclient
seismic data costs capitalized. Management believes that free cash flow is an important liquidity measure for the
company and that it is useful to investors and management as a measure of the ability of our business to generate cash.
Once business needs and obligations are met, this cash can be used to reinvest in the company for future growth or to
return to shareholders through dividend payments or share repurchases. Free cash flow does not represent the residual
cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that should be
considered in addition to, not as substitute for, or superior to, cash flow from operations.

(cid:129)

Cash flow from operations was $6.3 billion in 2016, $8.8 billion in 2015 and $11.2 billion in 2014. The
decrease in operating cash flows in each of the last two years is largely attributable to lower earnings
before non-cash charges and credits and depreciation and amortization expense.

Schlumberger paid $2.8 billion of cash in connection with the April 1, 2016 acquisition of Cameron.
Additionally, as a result of the acquisition of Cameron, Schlumberger assumed $3.0 billion of debt
(including a $244 million adjustment to increase Cameron’s long-term fixed rate debt to its estimated
fair value) and $2.2 billion of cash and short-term investments.

During the second quarter of 2016, Schlumberger repurchased approximately $1.4 billion of Cameron’s
long-term fixed-rate debt.

In connection with Schlumberger’s acquisition of Cameron, Cameron merged with Schlumberger
Holdings Corporation (SHC), an indirect wholly-owned United States subsidiary of Schlumberger.
Under the terms of the agreement, Cameron shareholders received 0.716 shares of Schlumberger
Limited common stock and a cash payment of $14.44 in exchange for each Cameron share of common
stock outstanding. In connection with this transaction, SHC acquired approximately 138 million shares
of common stock from Schlumberger Limited and transferred those shares to Cameron’s shareholders.

In order to partially fund the purchase of the 138 million shares of common stock from Schlumberger
Limited that were transferred to Cameron stockholders, SHC issued $6 billion of notes during the fourth
quarter of 2015 consisting of the following:

–
–
–
–
–

$500 million of 1.90% Senior Notes due 2017;
$1.3 billion of 2.35% Senior Notes due 2018;
$1.6 billion of 3.00% Senior Notes due 2020;
$850 million of 3.63% Senior Notes due 2022; and
$1.75 billion of 4.00% Senior Notes due 2025.

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 $9.4 billion of shares under this share
repurchase program as of December 31, 2016.

On January 21, 2016, the Board approved a new $10 billion share repurchase program for Schlumberger
common stock. This new program will take effect once the remaining $0.6 billion authorized to be
repurchased under the July 18, 2013 program is exhausted.

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

Dividends paid during 2016, 2015 and 2014 were $2.6 billion, $2.4 billion and $2.0 billion, respectively.

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

Capital expenditures were $2.1 billion in 2016, $2.4 billion in 2015 and $4.0 billion in 2014. Capital
expenditures are expected to be approximately $2.2 billion in 2017.

(cid:129)

During 2016, 2015 and 2014 Schlumberger made contributions of $174 million, $346 million and
$390 million, respectively, to its postretirement benefit plans. The US pension plans were 85% funded
at December 31, 2016 and 86% funded at December 31, 2015 based on the projected benefit obligation.

Schlumberger’s international defined benefit pension plans were a combined 92% funded at
December 31, 2016 based on the projected benefit obligation. This compares to 93% funded at
December 31, 2015.

Schlumberger expects to contribute approximately $200 million to its postretirement benefit plans in
2017, subject to market and business conditions.

In April 2016, Schlumberger announced that it would reduce its activity in Venezuela to align operations with cash
collections as a result of insufficient payments received in recent quarters and a lack of progress in establishing new
mechanisms that address past and future accounts receivable. Schlumberger continues to experience delays in
payment from its national oil company customer in Venezuela. Venezuela represented less than 5% of
Schlumberger’s consolidated revenue for each of the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014.
Schlumberger’s net receivable balance in Venezuela as of December 31, 2016 was approximately $1.2 billion.

Although accounts receivable collections improved during the fourth quarter of 2016, Schlumberger continues to
experience payment delays from many of its customers. This is attributable to the impact of lower oil and gas
prices on the industry. In this regard, Ecuador now represents approximately 12% of Schlumberger’s accounts
receivable balance at December 31, 2016.

Schlumberger operates in more than 85 countries. At December 31, 2016, only five of those countries
individually accounted for greater than 5% of Schlumberger’s accounts receivable balances, of which only three
(the United States, Ecuador and Venezuela) accounted for greater than 10%.

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 under this program.

As of December 31, 2016, Schlumberger had $9.3 billion of cash and short-term investments on hand. Schlumberger
also has separate committed debt facility agreements aggregating $6.6 billion with commercial banks, of which
$4.0 billion was available and unused as of December 31, 2016. The $6.6 billion of committed debt facility
agreements included $6.3 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 $2.571 billion as of December 31, 2016 and
$2.383 billion as of December 31, 2015.

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, 2016 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 that 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.

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

Schlumberger capitalizes the costs associated with obtaining multiclient seismic data. The carrying value of the
multiclient seismic data library at December 31, 2016 and 2015 was $1.07 billion and $1.03 billion, 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 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.

31

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.

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, 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 four Groups:
Reservoir Characterization, Drilling, Production and Cameron. Schlumberger elected to perform the qualitative
test in 2016. Based on this
assessment described above for purposes of its annual goodwill impairment
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 that 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

32

result in liabilities that 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.

Percentage-of-Completion Revenue Recognition

Schlumberger uses the percentage-of-completion method to account for certain long-term construction-type
contracts, primarily in the Cameron Group. These contracts involve significant design and engineering efforts in
order to satisfy custom designs for customer-specific applications. Under the percentage-of-completion method,
revenue is recognized as work progresses on each contract. Progress is measured by the ratio of actual costs
incurred to date on the project in relation to total estimated project costs.

The estimate of total project costs has a significant impact on both the amount of revenue recognized as well as
the related profit on a project. Revenue and profits on contracts can also be significantly affected by change
orders and claims. Profits are recognized based on the estimated project profit multiplied by the percentage
complete. Due to the nature of these projects, adjustments to estimates of contract revenue and total contract
costs are often required as work progresses. Any expected losses on a project are recorded in full in the period in
which they become probable.

Approximately 6% of Schlumberger’s revenue in 2016 was recognized under the percentage-of-completion
method.

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

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

The discount rate utilized to determine the liability for Schlumberger’s United States pension plans
and postretirement medical plan was 4.20% at December 31, 2016 and 4.50% at December 31, 2015.

The weighted-average discount
international pension plans was 4.13% at December 31, 2016 and 4.36% at December 31, 2015.

rate utilized to determine the liability for Schlumberger’s

The weighted-average discount rate utilized to determine expense for Schlumberger’s United States
pension plans and postretirement medical plan decreased from 4.85% in 2015 to 4.15% in 2016.

The weighted-average discount rate utilized to determine expense for Schlumberger’s international
pension plans increased from 4.07% in 2015 to 4.36% in 2016.

The expected rate of return for Schlumberger’s 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 was 7.25% in both 2016 and 2015. The
weighted average expected rate of return on plan assets for the international pension plans was 7.40% in both
2016 and 2015. 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

33

determine the 2016 postretirement medical expense was 7.50% graded to 5.0% over the next ten years. The
overall medical trend rate assumption utilized to determine the postretirement medical liability at December 31,
2016 was 7.25% graded to 5.0% over the next ten years.

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 operates in more than 85 countries. Schlumberger’s functional
currency is primarily the US dollar. Approximately 77% of Schlumberger’s revenue in 2016 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.

Schlumberger maintains a foreign-currency risk management strategy that uses derivative instruments to manage
the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates on its earnings. Schlumberger enters into foreign currency
forward contracts to provide a hedge against currency fluctuations on certain monetary assets and liabilities, and
certain expenses denominated in currencies other than the functional currency.

A 10% appreciation in the US dollar from the December 31, 2016 market rates would increase the unrealized
value of Schlumberger’s forward contracts by $47 million. Conversely, a 10% depreciation in the US dollar from
the December 31, 2016 market rates would decrease the unrealized value of Schlumberger’s forward contracts by
$57 million. In either scenario, the gain or loss on the forward contract would be offset by the gain or loss on the
underlying transaction, and therefore, would have no impact on future earnings.

At December 31, 2016, contracts were outstanding for the US dollar equivalent of $5.5 billion in various foreign
currencies of which $1.1 billion related 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, 2016, Schlumberger had fixed rate debt aggregating approximately $14.7 billion and variable rate
debt aggregating approximately $4.9 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 $6.6 billion at December 31, 2016, 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 investments was 0.9% in 2016.

The following table reflects the carrying amounts of Schlumberger’s debt at December 31, 2016 by year of
maturity:

materialize (or the consequences of such a development changes), or should our underlying assumptions prove
incorrect, actual outcomes may vary materially from those reflected in our forward-looking statements. Schlumberger
disclaims any intention or obligation to update publicly or revise such statements, whether as a result of new
information, future events or otherwise.

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.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements 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; revenue
recognized under the percentage-of-completion method; recoverability of fixed assets, goodwill, intangible
income taxes;
assets, Schlumberger Production Management
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.

investments and investments in affiliates;

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 is recognized for certain long-term construction-type contracts, primarily in the Cameron Group, based
on the percentage-of-completion method. These contracts involve significant design and engineering efforts in
order to satisfy custom designs for customer-specific applications. Under the percentage-of-completion method,
revenue is recognized as work progresses on each such contract. Progress is measured by the ratio of actual costs
incurred to date on the project in relation to total estimated project costs. Any expected losses on a project are
recorded in full in the period in which they become probable. Progress billings are generally issued upon
completion of certain phases of work as stipulated in the contract. Revenue in excess of billings is included
within Receivables less allowance for doubtful accounts in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Billings and cash
collections in excess of revenue recognized on contracts are included within Accounts payable and accrued
liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

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.

43

Revenue is occasionally generated from contractual arrangements that include multiple deliverables. Revenue
from these arrangements is recognized as each item is delivered based on its 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.

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 $503 million of Short-term investments at
December 31, 2016 that are considered available-for-sale and stated at fair value. All other investments are stated
at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates market. The unrealized gains/losses in investments designated
as available-for-sale were not significant at December 31, 2016.

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, 2016 of $238 million mature as follows:
$225 million in 2018 and $13 million in 2019.

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
$59 million at December 31, 2016 ($41 million at December 31, 2015). The cost basis of these marketable
securities was $41 million at both December 31, 2016 and 2015.

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.

Multiclient Seismic Data

Schlumberger’s 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

44

recorded when it is determined that estimated future cash flows, 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.

Schlumberger Production Management

Schlumberger Production Management (SPM) projects are focused on developing and managing production on
behalf of Schlumberger’s clients 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. This may include certain arrangements
whereby Schlumberger is only compensated based upon incremental production it 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 when the related production is achieved.
Revenue is recognized as the related production is achieved. These capitalized investments are amortized to the
Consolidated Statement of Income as the related oil production is achieved based on the units of production
method, whereby each unit produced is assigned a pro-rata portion of the unamortized costs based on estimated
total production, resulting in a matching of revenue with the applicable costs. Amortization expense relating to
these capitalized investments was $449 million, $317 million and $315 million in 2016, 2015 and 2014,
respectively.

The unamortized portion of Schlumberger’s investments in SPM projects was $2.458 billion and $1.829 billion at
December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. These amounts are included within Other Assets in Schlumberger’s
Consolidated Balance Sheet.

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. 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.

Schlumberger operates in more than 85 countries and as such, its accounts receivable are spread over many
countries and customers. The United States, Venezuela and Ecuador each represented approximately 11%, 12%
and 12% of Schlumberger’s accounts receivable balance at December 31, 2016. No other country accounted for
greater than 10% of Schlumberger’s accounts receivable balance. Schlumberger has continued to experience
delays in payment from its national oil company customer in Venezuela. Schlumberger maintains an allowance
for uncollectible accounts receivable based on expected collectibility and performs ongoing credit evaluations of
its customers’ financial condition. If the financial condition of its customers were to deteriorate resulting in an
impairment of their ability to make payments, adjustments to the allowance may be required.

Employee stock options to purchase 47 million shares of common stock as well as 5 million unvested restricted
stock units were outstanding at December 31, 2016, but were not included in the computation of diluted loss per
share as their effect, if included, would have been anti-dilutive.

Employee stock options to purchase 20 million and 5 million shares of common stock at December 31, 2015 and
2014, 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 will adopt this ASU on January 1, 2018. Schlumberger does
not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases. This ASU requires lessees to recognize a right of
use asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases, with the exception of short-term leases.
Schlumberger will adopt this ASU on January 1, 2019. Based on its current lease portfolio, Schlumberger
estimates that the adoption of this ASU will result in approximately $1.3 billion of additional assets and liabilities
being reflected on its Consolidated Balance Sheet.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes, which
requires that deferred tax assets and liabilities be classified as noncurrent
in a classified balance sheet.
Schlumberger adopted this ASU in the fourth quarter of 2016 on a prospective basis.

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

Schlumberger reduced its headcount during the second quarter of 2016 as a result of persistent
unfavorable oil and gas industry market conditions and the expected impact on customer activity levels.
Schlumberger recorded a $646 million charge during the second quarter of 2016 associated with this
headcount reduction. During the fourth quarter of 2016, Schlumberger decided to further reduce its
headcount
in order to streamline its support cost structure. Schlumberger recorded an additional
$234 million charge during the fourth quarter associated with these actions. Approximately $400 million
of the costs remain unpaid as of December 31, 2016.

During the fourth quarter of 2016, Schlumberger recorded $302 million of restructuring charges
consisting of the following: $165 million of facility closure costs due to the expected sale of certain
owned properties and the termination of certain facility leases; $98 million of asset write-offs associated
with exiting certain activities; and $39 million of contract termination costs.

During the fourth quarter of 2016, the Central Bank of Egypt took the decision to float its currency and
the Egyptian pound devalued relative to the US dollar. As a result, Schlumberger recorded a $63 million
devaluation charge during the fourth quarter of 2016.

(cid:129) As a result of the persistent unfavorable oil and gas industry market conditions that continued to
deteriorate in the first half of 2016, and the related impact on first half operating results and expected
customer activity levels, Schlumberger determined that the carrying values of certain assets were no
longer recoverable and also took certain decisions that resulted in the following impairment and other
charges during the second quarter of 2016:

-
-
-
-
-

-

$209 million impairment of pressure pumping equipment in North America.
$165 million impairment of facilities in North America.
$684 million of other fixed asset impairments primarily relating to underutilized equipment.
$616 million write-down of the carrying value of certain inventory to its net realizable value.
$198 million impairment of certain multiclient seismic data, largely related to the US Gulf of
Mexico.
$55 million of other restructuring costs.

The fair value of the impaired fixed assets and multiclient seismic data was estimated based on the projected
present value of future cash flows that these assets are expected to generate. Such estimates included
unobservable inputs that required significant judgments. Additional charges may be required in future
periods should industry conditions worsen. The above items are classified in Impairments & other in the
Consolidated Statement of Income.

the following: $299 million relating to the amortization of purchase accounting adjustments associated
with the write-up of acquired inventory to its estimated fair value; $83 million relating to employee
benefits for change-in-control arrangements and retention bonuses; $45 million of transaction costs,
including advisory and legal fees; $61 million of facility closure costs, and $160 million of other merger
and integration-related costs. These amounts are classified in Merger & integration in the Consolidated
Statement of Income.

The following is a summary of these charges and credits, of which $3.172 billion were classified as

Schlumberger reduced its headcount during the first quarter of 2015 as a result of the severe fall in
activity in North America, combined with the impact of lower international activity due to customer
budget cuts driven by lower oil prices. Schlumberger recorded a $390 million charge during the first
quarter associated with this headcount reduction as well as an incentivized leave of absence program.
Based on the activity outlook for 2016, as well as to further streamline its support structure,
Schlumberger decided to further reduce its headcount and expand its incentivized leave of absence
program during the fourth quarter of 2015. Schlumberger recorded an additional $530 million charge
during the fourth quarter associated with these actions.

(cid:129) As a result of unfavorable oil and gas industry market conditions that continued to deteriorate and their
impact on the activity outlook, Schlumberger determined that the carrying values of certain assets were
no longer recoverable and also took certain decisions that resulted in the following impairment and
restructuring charges during the fourth quarter of 2015:

-

$776 million of fixed asset impairments primarily related to underutilized pressure pumping and
other equipment in North America, as well as certain lower-tier drilling rigs.

value, as a result of the decline in commodity prices and considering this project is approaching the
end of its contractual term.
$177 million associated with certain of Schlumberger’s owned and leased facilities, including the
expected sale of certain properties and the termination of certain leases.
$77 million relating to assets that are no longer recoverable as a result of geopolitical issues in
certain countries in the Middle East.
$41 million relating to contract termination costs.
$84 million of other charges associated with current market conditions, including $40 million
relating to an other-than-temporary impairment of marketable securities and $15 million relating to
the impairment of an equity-method investment.

Certain of these impairment charges were estimated based on the projected present value of future cash
flows, which included unobservable inputs that required significant judgments.

In February 2015, the Venezuelan government replaced the SICAD II exchange rate (described in
further detail below) with a new foreign exchange market system known as SIMADI. The SIMADI
exchange rate was approximately 192 Venezuelan Bolivares fuertes to the US dollar as of March 31,
2015. As a result, Schlumberger recorded a $49 million devaluation charge during the first quarter of
2015, reflecting the adoption of the SIMADI exchange rate.

This change results in a reduction in the US dollar reported amount of local currency denominated
revenues, expenses and, consequently,
If
Schlumberger had applied an exchange rate of 192 Venezuelan Bolivares fuertes to the US dollar
throughout 2014, it would have reduced Schlumberger earnings by approximately $0.09 per share.

(cid:129)

During the fourth quarter of 2014, Schlumberger restructured its WesternGeco marine seismic fleet in
order to lower its 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

49

impairment charge related to the six Explorer-class vessels that were acquired at a premium in
Schlumberger’s 2007 acquisition 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.

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 were two other legal exchange
rates that could be obtained via different exchange rate mechanisms at the time. These changes included
the expansion of what was 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.

Schlumberger had 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 believed that rate best represented 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.

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.

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.

4. Acquisitions

Cameron

On April 1, 2016, Schlumberger acquired all of the outstanding shares of Cameron, a leading provider of flow
equipment products, systems and services to the oil and gas industry worldwide. The acquisition is expected to
create technology-driven growth by integrating Schlumberger reservoir and well technologies with Cameron

50

wellhead and surface equipment, flow control and processing technology. The combination of the two
complementary technology portfolios provides the industry’s most comprehensive range of products and
services, from exploration to production and integrated pore-to-pipeline solutions that optimize hydrocarbon
recovery to deliver reservoir performance.

Under the terms of the merger agreement, Cameron became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Schlumberger. Each
share of Cameron common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the merger
was converted into the right to receive 0.716 shares of Schlumberger stock and $14.44 in cash.

Schlumberger recorded an adjustment of $299 million to write-up the acquired inventory to its estimated
fair value. Schlumberger’s 2016 cost of sales reflected this increased valuation.
In connection with the merger, Schlumberger assumed all of the debt obligations of Cameron, including its
$2.75 billion of fixed rate notes. Schlumberger recorded a $244 million adjustment to increase the carrying
amount of these notes to their estimated fair value. This adjustment is being amortized as a reduction of
interest expense over the remaining term of the respective obligations.
In connection with the acquisition accounting, Schlumberger provided deferred taxes related to, among other
items, the estimated fair value adjustments for acquired inventory, intangible assets and assumed debt obligations.
Prior to the completion of the merger, Cameron and Schlumberger operated OneSubsea, a joint venture that
manufactured and developed products, systems and services for the subsea oil and gas market, which was
40% owned by Schlumberger and 60% owned by Cameron. OneSubsea is now owned 100% by
Schlumberger. As a result of obtaining control of this joint venture, Schlumberger was required to
remeasure its previously held equity interest
in the joint venture to its acquisition-date fair value.
Schlumberger determined that the estimated fair value of its previously held equity interest approximated its
carrying value. Accordingly, Schlumberger did not recognize any gain or loss on this transaction.
The goodwill recognized is primarily attributable to expected synergies that will result from combining the
operations of Schlumberger and Cameron, as well as intangible assets which do not qualify for separate
recognition. The amount of goodwill that is deductible for income tax purposes is not significant.

Supplemental Pro Forma Financial Information

Cameron’s results of operations have been included in Schlumberger’s financial statements for periods
subsequent to the closing of the acquisition on April 1, 2016. Businesses acquired from Cameron contributed
revenues of approximately $4 billion and pretax operating income of approximately $0.7 billion for the period
from April 1, 2016 through December 31, 2016.

The following supplemental pro forma results of operations assume that Cameron had been acquired on
January 1, 2015. The supplemental pro forma financial information was prepared based on the historical financial
information of Schlumberger and Cameron and has been adjusted to give effect to pro forma adjustments that are
both directly attributable to the transaction and factually supportable. The pro forma amounts reflect certain
adjustments to amortization expense, interest expense and income taxes resulting from purchase accounting. The
pro forma results for the year ended December 31, 2016 reflect adjustments to exclude after-tax merger and
integration costs of $285 million and after-tax charges relating to the amortization of the inventory fair value
adjustment of $209 million. As required by generally accepted accounting principles, the pro forma results for
the year ended December 31, 2015 have been adjusted to include after-tax adjustments for merger and integration
costs of $285 million and the after-tax charges relating to the amortization of the inventory fair value adjustment
of $209 million.

The supplemental pro forma financial information presented below is unaudited and does not include any
anticipated cost savings or the expected realization of other synergies associated with this transaction.
Accordingly, this supplemental pro forma financial information is presented for informational purposes only and
is not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations of the combined company would have been
had the acquisition occurred on January 1, 2015, nor is it indicative of future results of operations.

(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. Schlumberger issued
€0.5 billion 1.50% Guaranteed Notes due 2019 under this program in 2013.

(2) Represents long-term fixed rate debt obligations assumed in connection with the acquisition of Cameron, net of amounts

repurchased subsequent to the closing of the transaction.

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, 2016, Schlumberger had separate committed debt facility agreements aggregating $6.6 billion with
commercial banks, of which $4.0 billion was available and unused. This included $6.3 billion of committed facilities
which support commercial paper programs in the United States and Europe, of which $1.0 billion matures in February
2017, $1.8 billion matures in July 2018, $1.5 billion matures in November 2020, and $2.0 billion matures in February
2021. 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 they are backed up by available and unused
committed credit facilities maturing in more than one year and to the extent it is Schlumberger’s intent to maintain

56

these obligations for longer than one year. Borrowings under the commercial paper program at December 31,
2016 were $2.6 billion, of which $2.4 billion was classified within Long-term debt and $0.2 billion was classified
in Long-term debt –current portion in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. At December 31, 2015, borrowings under
the commercial paper program were $2.4 billion, of which $1.0 billion was classified within Long-term debt and
$1.4 billion was classified in Long-term debt – current portion in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

The weighted average interest rate on variable rate debt as of December 31, 2016 was 1.7%.

Long-term Debt as of December 31, 2016, is due as follows: $2.0 billion in 2018, $1.3 billion in 2019,
$2.6 billion in 2020, $4.8 billion in 2021, $2.0 billion in 2022, $1.6 billion in 2023, $1.8 billion in 2025 and
$0.4 billion thereafter.

The fair value of Schlumberger’s Long-term Debt at December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was
$16.8 billion and $14.4 billion, respectively, and was estimated based on quoted market prices.

11. 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 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, 2016, Schlumberger had fixed rate debt aggregating $14.1 billion and variable rate debt
aggregating $5.5 billion, after taking into account the effect of the swap.

Short-term investments and Fixed income investments, held to maturity, totaled $6.6 billion at December 31,
2016. 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 over 85 countries. Schlumberger’s functional
currency is primarily the US dollar. Approximately 77% of Schlumberger’s revenues in 2016 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).

57

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 that is
denominated in currencies other than the functional currency. Schlumberger uses foreign currency forward
contracts 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, 2016, Schlumberger recognized a cumulative net $19 million loss in Accumulated other
comprehensive loss relating to revaluation of foreign currency forward contracts 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 that are denominated in currencies
other than the functional currency. While Schlumberger uses foreign currency forward contracts 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 the fair value of the
hedged item. Transaction losses of $93 million, $76 million and $539 million, net of related hedging activities,
were recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income in 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Included in these
amounts are $63 million relating to Egypt in 2016, $49 million relating to Venezuela in 2015 and $472 million
relating to Venezuela in 2014. See Note 3 – Charges and Credits for further details.

At December 31, 2016, contracts were outstanding for the US dollar equivalent of $5.5 billion in various foreign
currencies, of which $1.1 billion relates to hedges of debt denominated in currencies other than the functional
currency.

13. 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).

60

Stock Options

Key employees are granted stock options under Schlumberger stock option plans. For all stock options granted,
the exercise price equals the average of the high and low sales prices of Schlumberger stock on the date of grant;
the maximum term is ten years, and the 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

Schlumberger grants 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 certain
predefined targets as defined in the underlying performance share unit agreement. In the event Schlumberger
exceeds the predefined target, shares for up to the maximum of 250% of the target award may be granted. In the
event Schlumberger falls below the predefined target, a reduced number of shares may be granted. If Schlumberger
falls below the threshold award performance level, no shares will be granted. As of December 31, 2016, 1.0 million
performance share units 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 have voting rights prior to vesting. Accordingly, the fair value of
a 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 prior to vesting.

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:

The above deferred tax balances at December 31, 2016 and 2015 were net of valuation allowances relating to net
operating losses in certain countries of $186 million and $162 million, respectively.

Schlumberger generally does not provide for taxes relating to undistributed earnings because such earnings
would not be taxable when remitted or they are considered to be indefinitely reinvested. In connection with
Schlumberger’s 2016 acquisition of Cameron, certain non-US subsidiaries of Cameron are now either wholly or
partially owned by a US subsidiary of Schlumberger. Undistributed earnings of these non-US subsidiaries that
are indefinitely invested outside the US are approximately $3 billion. Such earnings would be subject to US taxes
if they were to be repatriated to the US. However, determination of the unrecognized deferred tax liability that
would be incurred if such amounts were repatriated to the US is not practicable. In addition, any taxes that would
be incurred if the undistributed earnings of other Schlumberger subsidiaries were distributed to their ultimate
parent company would not be material.

A number of the jurisdictions in which Schlumberger operates have tax laws that are not fully defined and are
evolving. Schlumberger’s tax filings are subject to regular audit by the tax authorities. These audits may result in
assessments for additional taxes that are resolved with the tax authorities or, potentially, through the courts. Tax
liabilities are recorded based on estimates of additional taxes that will be due upon the conclusion of these audits.
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 certain of the jurisdictions noted above, Schlumberger operates through more than one legal entity, each of which may
have different open years subject to examination. The table above presents the open years subject to examination for the most
material of the legal entities in each jurisdiction. Additionally, it is important to note that tax years are technically not closed
until the statute of limitations in each jurisdiction expires. In the jurisdictions noted above, the statute of limitations can
extend beyond the open years subject to examination.

16. Contingencies

Schlumberger and its subsidiaries are party to various 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 any currently pending legal proceeding is remote. However, litigation is inherently
uncertain and it is not possible to predict the ultimate disposition of any of these proceedings.

17. Segment Information

Schlumberger’s segments are as follows:

consolidated revenue.

Schlumberger did not have revenue from third-party customers in its country of domicile during the last three
years. Revenue in the United States in 2016, 2015 and 2014 was $5.4 billion, $8.5 billion and $14.0 billion,
respectively.

18. 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 US 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.

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 rate of return on assets assumptions reflect the long-term 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, 2016 and 2015, by asset category, is presented
below and was determined based on valuation techniques categorized as follows:

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

Level One: The use of quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments.

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.

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.

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 expects to contribute approximately $200 million to its
postretirement benefit plans in 2017, subject to market and business conditions.

Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions

Schlumberger provides certain healthcare benefits to certain former US employees who have retired. Effective
April 1, 2015, Schlumberger changed the way it provides healthcare coverage to certain retirees who are age 65
and over. Under the amended plan, these retirees transferred to individual coverage under the Medicare
Exchange. Schlumberger subsidizes 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 by more than 5% in any given year.

The actuarial assumptions used to determine the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation and net periodic
benefit cost for the US postretirement medical plan were as follows:

Discount rate . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Return on plan assets . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Current medical cost trend rate . . . . . . . . . . .
Ultimate medical cost trend rate . . . . . . . . . .
Year that the rate reaches the ultimate trend

The unfunded liability is included in Postretirement Benefits in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

The assets of the US postretirement medical plan are invested 63% in equity securities and 37% in debt securities
at December 31, 2016. The fair value of these assets was primarily determined based on Level Two valuation
techniques.

Assumed health care cost trend rates have a significant effect on the amounts reported for the US postretirement
medical plan. A one percentage point change in assumed health care cost trend rates would have the following

20. Discontinued Operations

During 2013, Schlumberger completed the wind down of its operations in Iran and, therefore, classified the
historical results of this business as a discontinued operation.

In 2009, the US Department of Justice began an investigation into past violations of US sanctions regarding
Schlumberger’s historical operations in Iran and Sudan that occurred between 2004 and 2010. During the second
quarter of 2014, Schlumberger increased its accrual for this contingency and recorded a $205 million charge,
which was reflected within Loss from discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statement of Income.

During 2015, Schlumberger resolved this investigation and a non-US subsidiary of Schlumberger pleaded guilty
to one criminal count of conspiracy to violate the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. Under the
terms of the plea agreement, Schlumberger paid approximately $233 million in fines, penalties and assessments
during the second quarter of 2015, which had been previously accrued. This payment is reflected within Cash
flows used in discontinued operations – operating activities in Schlumberger’s Consolidated Statement of Cash
Flows.

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.

internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect
Because of its inherent
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.

limitations,

Schlumberger management assessed the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2016. In making this assessment, it used the criteria set forth in 2013 by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control – Integrated Framework. Based on
this assessment Schlumberger’s management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2016, 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, 2016 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, 2016 and 2015, and the results
of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2016 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, 2016, 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 statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and
for its assessment of the 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
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
management, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and the Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the
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

80

Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Schlumberger’s disclosure controls and procedures
include controls and procedures designed so 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 2016 that has
materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, Schlumberger’s internal control over financial
reporting.

Item 9B. Other Information.

Schlumberger completed the wind down of its service operations in Iran during 2013. Prior to this, certain
non-U.S. subsidiaries provided oilfield services to the National Iranian Oil Company and certain of its affiliates
(“NIOC”).

Schlumberger’s residual transactions or dealings with the government of Iran during 2016 consisted of payments
of taxes and other typical governmental charges. Certain non-U.S. subsidiaries maintained depository accounts at
the Dubai branch of Bank Saderat Iran (“Saderat”), and at Bank Tejarat (“Tejarat”) in Tehran and in Kish for the
deposit by NIOC of amounts owed to non-U.S. subsidiaries of Schlumberger for prior services rendered in Iran
and for the maintenance of such amounts previously received. One non-U.S. 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 for prior services
rendered in Iran.

During the fourth quarter of 2016, a non-US subsidiary entered into a memorandum of understanding (“MOU”)
with NIOC relating to the non-disclosure of data required for the technical evaluation of an oilfield project. The
MOU does not involve the provision of services.

reduced in severity and amount, and sometimes dismissed. The number of citations, orders, and proposed assessments
vary by inspector and also vary depending on the size and type of the operation.
As of December 31, 2016 MSHA had not yet proposed an assessment for one citation at Amelia Barite Plant/1600825.
