Olivier Le Peuch
Chief Executive Officer

Dear Schlumberger Stakeholder,

2021 was an excellent year of performance and a turning point for 

our company. As an exceptional growth cycle continued to 

develop in oil and gas, we began to see the shape of a new Schlumberger,  
seizing growth and new opportunities in our core and beyond.

The entire global energy industry is being urged to help meet the dual 
challenge—improving the lives of billions of people with access to  
reliable energy, while at the same time rapidly decarbonizing to reduce 
the impacts of climate change. Oil and gas have a key role to play in  
meeting this challenge, as they will be called upon to provide a  
substantial portion of the global energy mix, supporting economic 
growth affordably across the transition. Energy demand returned 
broadly this year, and we anticipate returning to prepandemic peaks  
in the near term. Meeting that demand will require technology and 
execution, which we will continue to deliver for our customers.

In that context, the entire Schlumberger team generated strong financial 
results this year by executing our strategy and enhancing performance 
for customers with our innovative technology and digital solutions. I am 
very proud of the people of Schlumberger, who continue to be determined 
in their effort, precise in their execution, and thoughtful in their care for 
our communities and our environment. In 2021, our people created strong 
momentum that will underpin our success for years to come.

Outperforming in Our Core 
As a company of people driven to make a difference with science and 
engineering, we believe Schlumberger plays a unique role in the world. 
We do that with our leading operational execution and innovation  
capabilities to create and deploy, at scale, technology that enhances 
performance and reliability for our customers. I would like to thank the 
entire team who navigated continuing COVID impacts and supply chain 
disruption to provide business continuity and improved performance 
for our customers. Despite the challenges, the extraordinary people 
of Schlumberger delivered a year of outperformance on every metric, 
surpassing all our targets this year. 

Performed by Schlumberger 
is the premier recognition 
program in the company, 
highlighting the most  
outstanding examples 
of how we create value: 
innovation, operations 
excellence, and customer 
performance. Read about 
this year’s winning projects 
on page 13.

Our core business demonstrated robust results in the early 
stages of a multiyear growth cycle. Our sharp focus on the 
performance of our customers throughout the year drove 
outstanding financial performance. Our unique integration 
capabilities, industry-leading international footprint,  
and differentiated technology are enabling us to achieve  
customer performance goals.

Our new organization, which is maximizing our potential both 
internationally and in North America, has been instrumental 
in meeting customer performance goals by fostering stronger 
customer engagement, accelerating our fit-for-basin approach to  
technology development that creates solutions tailored to regional  
customer performance needs, and enabling our people to set new 
benchmarks in operational performance. Our unique capacity to  
integrate domain expertise, digital capabilities, and technology across 
our Divisions is resonating with customers as integrity and performance 
are increasingly critical to their success. These differentiated capabilities 
were recognized with enhanced market positions and significant project 
awards during the year.

Schlumberger was awarded a multibillion  

dollar integrated stimulation technology and 

services contract by Saudi Aramco for its 

unconventional gas resources. Fit-for-basin 

technologies will enable operational  

performance and efficiency in a work scope 

that includes the full suite of products and 

services for hydraulic fracturing, coiled tubing 

intervention, wireline services, Cameron  

hydraulic fracturing trees with MonoFlex*  

dual-connection fracturing fluid delivery  

technology, and flow back.

LE TTER FROM  OUR CEO    
continued

At the same time, our new organization and high-graded portfolio  
have enhanced our earnings power, and we ended the year marking  
six consecutive quarters of pretax segment operating margin expansion 
even before the multiyear growth cycle has fully unfolded. During  
the year, we saw oil supply tighten and demand growth increase  
while industry activity accelerated across all geographies and  
environments—onshore and offshore. We see this growth expanding  
in 2022 and beyond, at first driven by supply tightness, which will  
eventually give way to demand-led industry capital spending growth, 
setting the foundation for a strong multiyear upcycle. Indeed, this 
scenario is already being established, as the number of final investment 
decisions increases, service pricing has begun to improve, and multiyear 
long-cycle capacity expansion plans have started—particularly  
internationally and offshore, as seen during the fourth quarter of 2021.

Against this backdrop, our core strengths will be magnified going forward 
by our decarbonization leadership, where we made a significant step this 
year with the debut of our Transition Technologies* portfolio of solutions. 
This technology portfolio is decarbonizing oil and gas operations, with a 
focus on reducing power consumption and eliminating flaring and venting. 
These are our largest opportunities to reduce the oil and gas industry 
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions footprint, and deploying technologies in 
these areas will help Schlumberger and our customers work to reach our 
sustainability commitments, together. 

Schlumberger ISO- and API-certified 
Low-E valves can achieve up to 

96%

reduction in  
fugitive emissions.

Equinor recently completed the installation 

of a OneSubsea® subsea multiphase boosting 

system, a solution that will reduce the cost 

and carbon impact of producing an additional 

16 million barrels of oil from Vigdis Field in 

the North Sea. In production for more than 

20 years, the Vigdis Field is producing into the 

existing Snorre A facility, a cost advantage 

over building new infrastructure. Leveraging 

an all-electric control system, the multiphase 

boosting system requires less than 50% of the 

energy to produce the same volume of oil as 

compared to gas lift, avoiding 200,000 tons of 

CO2 equivalent over 10 years of operation at 
Vigdis and paving the way for future subsea 

electrification around the world.

Scan this code to learn how  
we are using technology  
to decarbonize oil and gas 
operations.

Offshore Angola, Eni was able to confirm minimum hydrocarbons in place and 

reservoir deliverability in just six weeks on its first 2021 well without flaring, 

using a combination of Schlumberger’s Quanta Geo* photorealistic reservoir 

geology service and the deep transient testing capability of the Ora* intelligent 

wireline formation testing platform. Compared to traditional methods, this  

completely eliminated flaring-related GHG emissions.

We also announced in 2021 a bold net-zero commitment inclusive  
of Scope 3 emissions—the majority of which occurs for us when  
we deploy technology on customer projects. These Scope 3 emissions  
constitute 75% of our total GHG emissions. Reducing Scope 3 emissions 
is a goal we share with our customers as well as an enormous growth 
opportunity and a radical differentiator for Schlumberger, and we 
have already started to deploy Transition Technologies with customers 
around the world. We are uniquely positioned to develop and deploy 
these solutions and believe our opportunity to assist our customers 
in reducing their GHG emissions will generate significant growth and 
sustainability impact.

This was the year we set the foundations of our future, a future that will 
support our digital market ambition and our expansion into new energy 
as the growth cycle continues to expand.

Scope 1 is our direct emissions 
from the fuel we use. 

Scope 2 is our indirect  
emissions from electricity  
that we purchase. 

Scope 3 emissions come from 
everything else, including supply 
chain, logistics, travel, and 
everything related to the use  
of our products and services.

Nearly 

90%     of our Scope 3 emissions 

come from the use of our 
technology and emissions 
associated with purchased 
goods and services in our 
supply chain.

Advancing a Digital Ecosystem for the Future
When we imagined the digital future of our industry, we were inspired 
to create an extensive digital platform supporting an ecosystem where 
innovation and collaboration at scale could unlock the full impact of 
digital—across the energy industry. 

We built our platform on a data framework, which we contributed to  
the Open Subsurface Data Universe (OSDU) as the foundation of an  
open-source industry standard. This year, we expanded access to our 
platform, adding collaborators to an unmatched network of best-in-class 
digital partners, and unlocked market access across all basins through 
the most comprehensive public, hybrid, and private cloud capabilities. 
From this, we have seen accelerated adoption at scale—across countries, 
customers, and end users. The diversity and magnitude of announcements 
made this year by majors, independents, and national oil companies reflect 
the broad adoption and diverse market reach we have generated.

journey, from innovative workflow deployment to asset operations 
transformation. Furthermore, we are experiencing an increase in  
the breadth of adoption per customer and end user, as exemplified  
in the significant growth of cloud native applications being used on  
the platform, and the acceleration of computational intensity, as  
geoscientists and reservoir engineers increase their collaborative, 
on-demand use of modeling and simulation applications. 

Through the power of our platform, we are empowering customers with 
AI and digital innovation, and connecting digitally enabled hardware to 
realize autonomous solutions.

We are proud of the progress we have made in digital this year and  
are honored to be increasingly selected as the digital partner of  
choice by our customers. We are confident in our ambition to lead 
the industry and to generate accretive growth in the upcycle with our 
digital offering, which we see growing beyond our core, driving further 
decarbonization and low-carbon opportunities.

LEADING AUTONOMOUS DRILLING  
WITH EXXONMOBIL
Offshore Canada, Schlumberger and ExxonMobil 
Canada are jointly working on the deployment 
of digital drilling solutions, which recently  
enabled ExxonMobil Canada to complete the 
first fully automated section drilled at the 
Hebron platform. This was achieved with a 
combination of DrillOps* on-target well delivery 
solution, including DrillOps Automate drilling 
solution, and the Cameron DrillPilot* equipment 
sequencing software for pipe handling automation. 
ExxonMobil Canada and its co-venturers  
on Hebron have agreed to a commercial  
implementation of the DrillOps Automate  
solution in its offshore operations. These  
digital solutions are expected to create a step 
change in procedural adherence, consistency, 
standardization, and operational efficiency 
across rig crews, and enable close integration 
of well construction planning and execution 
phases in the future.

Expanding New Energy with Partnerships
We have taken a collaborative approach to working with customers  
and the wider industry to achieve new levels of performance that  
would not be possible working in a traditional framework. This mindset 
has helped us overcome challenges and create more value together.  
We are taking this same approach in digital and new energy, where we  
are building visionary partnerships that are opening new markets where  
our innovation can make an impact. 

The enormous capability and flexibility of our digital platform enables 
us to generate new revenue streams in oil and gas and is enabling 

access to other industries, as well. Built 
on partnerships, our platform is constantly 
advancing and is already being used by 
other industries, who are also striving for 
higher performance from their workflows, 
data, and operations. The architecture  
of our platform and the domain knowledge 
it was designed to harness makes it ideal 
for other industries, such as carbon  
capture and storage (CCS), geothermal, 
and new energy.

This year, we began leveraging partnerships to bring our scale and  
industrialization capability to new energy, expanding our total  
addressable market. Unprecedented investment will occur in the  
energy space over the coming decades to realize energy transition.  
That investment has already begun, and we are participating through  
a portfolio of ventures in Schlumberger New Energy. We are focusing  
on the fastest growing sector of energy—end-use efficiency and  
conversion—which presents a massive market opportunity for us.  
For perspective, if we capture a little more than 1% of this total market 
sector over the next decade or so, the resulting business would equal 
the oil and gas business of Schlumberger as it stands today.

Schlumberger Chief Strategy 
and Sustainability Officer  
Dr. Katharina Beumelburg  
share how we are using 
cross-industry partnerships  
to drive decarbonization.

Schlumberger will deploy the DELFI*  

cognitive E&P environment on the Norwegian 

CO2 project by the Northern Lights Joint  
Venture (NL) to streamline subsurface 

workflows and longer-term modeling and 

surveillance of CO2 sequestration. NL was 
established to develop the world’s first  

open-source CO2 transport and storage  
infrastructure, providing accelerated  

decarbonization opportunities for European 

industries, with an ambition to store up to  

5 million metric tons of CO2 per year based 
on market demand.

To do this, we have created ventures in low-carbon and carbon- 
neutral energy sectors, including green hydrogen, lithium, energy  
storage, CCS, geothermal, and geoenergy. This portfolio builds  
on three fundamental Schlumberger strengths: first, our unique  
subsurface domain expertise, applicable beyond oil and gas; second,  
our differentiated track record for innovation and industrialization—the 
DNA of our company; and last, our ability to deploy at scale in any region 
in the world with local knowledge and talent.  

End-use efficiency and conversion will be  

the fastest growing sector of global energy  

investment in and beyond the next decade.

Schlumberger is expanding its addressable 

market to include new energy areas using  

a partnership and venture approach.

Empowered to apply our technology and digital solutions in new  
areas, our people will drive performance and sustainability around 
the world—just as they already make an impact for the people  
in our communities. 

Our Exceptional People Make Us What We Are
People are always a priority in Schlumberger: the exceptional people who 
join us make our ambitions possible. Their meaningful engagement drives 
a positive employee experience that is fundamental to our talent acquisition 
and retention philosophy—and to sustaining our pulse and spirit.

The results of our people-first efforts this year were encouraging on 
multiple fronts. First, we were able to meet our aggressive recruiting 
targets in a highly competitive environment; and second, we maintained 
our solid employee engagement score from 2019—a significant  
achievement in light of the challenging work environment.

In a dynamic and challenging technical industry that is bridging into new 
areas, attracting and retaining top talent is a necessity, and diversity 
and development differentiate our culture as we seek to build the future 
of the company. For decades, people have come to work with colleagues 
from all over the world, because we hire and develop people from the 
communities where we live and work. Today, our ten-member executive 
team collectively represents nine nationalities.

Nationality diversity is just one aspect of diversity that is important to 
us. In 2021, we also continued to improve gender diversity, increasing 
the representation of women at all levels of the company. In terms of 
talent acquisition, women represented approximately 48% of new  
hire salaried employees with science, technology, engineering, and 
mathematics (STEM) backgrounds. As we strive to build a more inclusive 
culture, I was also pleased to commit Schlumberger to the Valuable 
500—the largest network of global CEOs committed to innovating 
together for disability inclusion. 

“

Our commitment to join  
the Valuable 500 is an  
important milestone.  
Our membership in this 
community will help us  
to drive and support  
disability inclusion  
and confidence within  
our team, and we will  
be recognizing the  
International Day of  
Persons with Disabilities 
with the launch of our  
This Ability Network  
Employee Resource Group."

Olivier Le Peuch
Chief Executive Officer

Reflecting a change in the way employees want to work and the 
success of our BlueFLEX pilot project in 2020, we introduced a  
flexible work policy globally in 2021 based on a hybrid working model. 
This is an important step in providing employees with improved  
flexibility to manage the demands of their work and personal lives 
and is key to attracting experienced professionals who will help  
fuel our core, digital, and new energy growth objectives. 

As we expand our markets and our digital reach, our career growth 
opportunities and learning programs are also evolving to meet the needs 
of industries and develop our leaders of the future. This has never been 
more tangible than in 2021, when we hired and began to train the first 
cohort of engineers who will be remote from the start by design—a 
model that is adapting to customer needs while creating an environment 
that promotes diversity and inclusion, accelerates learning, and reduces 
exposure to safety incidents. 

Performing with Purpose
The same people who bring their passion and commitment to their 
everyday work help to set us apart as a leader in energy transition. 
The people of Schlumberger care about the planet and its future, and 
they are working to deliver the best outcome for our customers and 
communities—today and tomorrow. Our climate action is only part  
of how we make a sustainability impact in the communities where  
we live and work. 

We are committed to creating opportunity in our communities, and  
there are two avenues through which we make these contributions.  
First is our shift toward fit-for-basin solutions. Fit for basin describes 
not only our approach to developing discrete technologies to address 
regional operational challenges, but also encompasses an inherently 
high degree of local content—local workforce, manufacturing, and 
supply chain—which develops the people in the communities around 
our operations.

We progressed on the adoption  
of both Task Force on  
Climate-Related Financial  
Disclosures (TCFD) and  
Sustainability Accounting  
Standards Board (SASB)  
frameworks to increase the  
transparency of our environmental  
disclosures, contributing to an 

upgrade of our MSCI  
rating to a peer-leading AA.

EMPOWERING LOCAL TEAMS  
TO MAKE AN IMPACT

Schlumberger local teams use the United  
Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 
as a framework to select and design projects  
focusing on local priorities. Aligned with SDG 3,  
Schlumberger partnered with a nonprofit  
organization to set up a pressure swing  
adsorption oxygen plant in India. The facility  
delivered onsite, piped oxygen to rural  
hospitals to cater to the needs of people  
in more than 190 villages in the Pune district  
of Maharashtra.

The second is through the contributions of our engaged employees,  
who are attuned and dedicated to their local environments. Our local 
operating units have been tasked with developing and implementing 
meaningful local sustainability plans, and today we have initiatives in  
95 countries. Aligning with national and customer priorities, our local 
teams bring projects and technology that make a relevant impact to  
the people and the environment around them. 

The people of Schlumberger are always seeking ways to make a  
difference—be it on a global scale, or locally with the people they  
interact with every day. It is this ambition and motivation that made 
2021 such a successful year, and I want to thank everyone in  
Schlumberger for an outstanding performance.

Our direction is clear, and I am very excited about the future of  
Schlumberger. We are uniquely positioned at the beginning of a  
growth cycle in energy unlike any before it. This period will bring  
us new opportunities through which—staying true to our innovative 
spirit and ambition to drive positive change in the world—we will  
make an impact while we grow our business in oil and gas and beyond. 
Together, we create amazing technology that unlocks access to energy 
for the benefit of all.

Corporate Strategy

Schlumberger’s strategy is designed to adapt the Company to an evolving industry landscape shaped by emerging
drivers,
including capital discipline, regionalization of supply and demand, an efficiency imperative, and
resilience—defined by sustainability and lower carbon footprint. This strategy is designed to magnify
Schlumberger’s ability to improve customer performance, which is the differentiating factor that will help our
industry meet higher stakeholder expectations.

Oil and gas will remain critical to economic activity and prosperity. According to the most recent International
Energy Agency Sustainable Development Scenario, oil and gas are expected to represent approximately 45% of
the global energy mix through 2040. Schlumberger’s role is twofold: to enable customers to produce these
resources efficiently, cost effectively and with the lowest carbon footprint and to support the world’s transition to
a more diversified energy mix.

Schlumberger’s strategy is structured around three major themes, all of which are focused on customer
performance: (i) strengthen the core; (ii) go-to-market; and (iii) horizons of growth.

Strengthen the Core

The core of Schlumberger is how we work with customers and execute our business. The elements in this
the integrity and efficiency of our operations, and capital
theme—which include customer collaboration,
stewardship—are enabled by our people and technology.

As a service company, Schlumberger has always worked closely with customers. We are exploring new ways to
collaborate and help them overcome their challenges and improve performance.

Operations integrity and efficiency—core to Schlumberger’s culture—are enhanced by the digitization of our
operations. Just as Schlumberger is delivering digital solutions to our customers, we are advancing them in our
own operations to capture value from our equipment and services businesses by integrating them into our digital
structure.

Capital stewardship is a crucial factor for our industry. Schlumberger has implemented a capital allocation
framework that governs all investments, whether related to capital expenditures, mergers and acquisitions, or
research and engineering. The underlying principle behind this framework is that investment opportunities are
prioritized based on returns and cash flow. Our focus on capital stewardship also includes evolving certain
businesses into innovative, less capital-intensive commercial models.

Go-to-Market

Industry markets have evolved into multiple, diverse regional markets that are increasingly competing with each
other to meet global, regional, and domestic oil and gas demand. Each of these regions has a set of resource
plays—or basins—with localized economics and operational drivers. As a result, the industry is witnessing a
decoupling of the activity characteristics of each major region, resulting in a unique set of dynamics for each oil
and gas basin across the world. This presents Schlumberger with opportunities that can be optimally addressed
with a basin-specific approach.

A key differentiator for Schlumberger is its “fit-for-basin” approach and ability. Fit-for-basin describes the
mindset Schlumberger has adopted toward technology development, in-country value, and market access.
Schlumberger is developing and deploying basin-specific technology that helps its customers overcome the
challenges of their respective regions. At the same time, in-country value enables regional efficiency and
performance, while creating opportunity and aligning with the strategic priorities of our clients.

In addition, technology access and performance models are highly strategic elements of our go-to-market
strategy. Technology access is fundamentally about making the right decisions with respect to our technology
portfolio and how we go to market. Performance models are focused on commercial and contractual innovations.

The elements of our go-to-market strategy enable Schlumberger to develop deeper partnerships with customers,
expanding on their needs and challenges from a basin-specific perspective to provide technology and business
models tailored to regional or individual customer requirements. These elements allow us to share in the
performance improvement we deliver for customers and partners.

Horizons of Growth

The third strategic element positions Schlumberger to increase its share in existing markets and expand into new
long-term markets in digital, production and recovery, and energy transition, including Schlumberger New
Energy and Transition Technologies.

Digital capabilities are crucial to long-term performance and resilience. Through its industry-leading digital
platform, Schlumberger will enable digital transformation at scale, unlocking significant value, and leading
innovation across the digital domain in the industry.

Schlumberger seeks to define the future of digital technology in the energy industry and has designed and built a
secure and flexible digital industry platform centered around differentiated digital technologies. Enabled by key
partnerships with companies such as Google, IBM, Microsoft, Amazon Web Services, AVEVA and NOV,
Schlumberger provides an open digital platform that
takes advantage of on-demand, high-performance
computing and makes digital capabilities such as embedded artificial intelligence or machine learning readily
accessible to customers.

The application of digital
technology across the entire E&P value chain—from subsurface to drilling to
production—has the potential to deliver a step-change in operational workflows that will significantly elevate our
customers’ performance sustainably. Digital technology can move technical workflows from the desktop to the
cloud, creating data structures that enable artificial intelligence and machine learning to provide insights at scale
across our customers’ operations.

Production and recovery is about positioning Schlumberger to take advantage of two key trends shaping the
market. The first trend relates to accelerating gas discovery, development and production, as Schlumberger
expects to see significant growth in gas demand over the next two decades as the world seeks to decarbonize its
energy mix. The second trend relates to operators’ increased focus on improving recovery from their existing
wells, fields and infrastructure—ultimately achieving the most capital efficient production. As a result and based
on our deep domain knowledge from the subsurface to midstream production facilities, we are positioning our
technology portfolio to participate and lead in these growing markets.

Finally, Schlumberger recognizes that its future will expand beyond oil and gas with energy transition, and the
Company is positioning itself for long-term growth opportunities. In this regard, in 2020 the Company created
Schlumberger New Energy to develop businesses in low-carbon or carbon-neutral energy technologies, and in
2021 it announced its commitment to reach net-zero emissions by 2050 and launched its Transition Technologies
portfolio to reduce emissions from oil and gas operations.

Schlumberger New Energy is using partnership models and Schlumberger’s experience in technology
industrialization to expand into energy verticals beyond oil and gas. Schlumberger’s approach is to apply its
domain expertise in areas adjacent to its existing activities where it can use its global footprint and execution
platform to deliver at scale.

The Schlumberger New Energy portfolio consists of ventures in the domains of hydrogen, lithium, energy
storage, carbon capture and sequestration (“CCS”), geothermal power and geoenergy for heating and cooling
buildings. While many of these investments are in new energy emerging sectors, Schlumberger New Energy has
leveraged Schlumberger’s extensive experience in both the CCS and geothermal sectors. For more than two
decades, Schlumberger has participated in CCS projects providing consulting, technology services and project
management. In geothermal, Schlumberger provides the full spectrum of geothermal resource development
services through GeothermEx, a consulting and services company we acquired in 2010. Schlumberger New
Energy has extended Schlumberger’s geothermal reach by exploring opportunities in the development of
geothermal power projects.

Schlumberger New Energy activities currently include the following ventures and strategic partnerships:

•

•

•

•

•

Celsius Energy is a Schlumberger start-up that combines in-house technology, proprietary design
optimization and modern digital control systems to offer a fit-for-purpose solution that uses low-heat
geothermal energy for heating and cooling buildings. Celsius Energy reduces overall building energy
consumption from conventional sources, resulting in reduced carbon emissions.

Genvia is a clean hydrogen production technology venture with the French Alternative Energies and
Atomic Energy Commission and partners. This unique private-public partnership aims to deliver the
most efficient and cost-effective technology for producing clean hydrogen, a versatile energy carrier and
key component of the energy transition.

NeoLith Energy is a Schlumberger New Energy venture to enable a sustainable, efficient and flexible
lithium production ecosystem using a differentiated direct lithium extraction process. NeoLith Energy
has a strategic collaboration agreement with Panasonic Energy of North America for the validation and
optimization of its pilot plant in Nevada.

In CCS, Schlumberger New Energy is developing capabilities and forging partnerships to provide
integrated solutions and technologies to CCS projects in selected markets and geographies where
existing policies and regulations can make projects attractive. Schlumberger New Energy has partnered
with Chevron, Microsoft and Clean Energy Systems to utilize biomass fuel that consumes CO2 over its
lifetime to produce power and then safely and permanently sequestrates the produced CO2. This process
results in net-negative carbon emissions, effectively removing greenhouse gas from the atmosphere.

Schlumberger invested in EnerVenue and entered into a collaboration agreement to deploy EnerVenue’s
uniquely differentiated nickel-hydrogen battery technology, which is a key enabler of stationary energy
storage solutions. Schlumberger New Energy and EnerVenue will work together to progress large-scale
deployment of nickel-hydrogen battery technology across selected global markets.

In June 2021, Schlumberger announced its commitment to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions
by 2050. Guided by climate science and GHG Protocol, Schlumberger spent 18 months conducting extensive
analysis and working with experts to produce its decarbonization plan, which is aligned with the Paris Agreement
ambition of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius. Schlumberger was the first energy services company
to set a net-zero target inclusive of all three emission scopes. By setting targets with respect to the Company’s
total 2019 baseline GHG footprint of approximately 54 million metric tons of CO2 equivalent (which consisted of
52 million metric tons of Scope 3 emissions and two million metric tons of Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions), and
not just its Scope 1 and 2 footprint, Schlumberger’s comprehensive emissions reduction roadmap addresses the
entire oil and gas value chain.

Schlumberger’s 2050 net zero target is supported by the following interim milestones, using 2019 as the baseline
year:

•

•

•

by 2025, a 30% reduction in Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions;

by 2030, a 50% reduction in Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions; and

by 2030, a 30% reduction in Scope 3 emissions.

There are three key components to Schlumberger achieving its net-zero target: reducing operational emissions,
reducing customer emissions that occur while using Schlumberger technology, and taking carbon-negative
actions of sufficient scale to offset any residual operational and technology emissions that the Company may
have in 2050.

Schlumberger’s Scope 1 and 2 emissions primarily come from its fuel use and electricity consumption, whereas
its Scope 3 emissions are indirect, such as customer emissions related to the use of Schlumberger technology and
operational emissions related to purchased goods and services. In 2021, Schlumberger launched its Transition

flaring reduction,
Technologies portfolio. This portfolio is focused on addressing fugitive emissions,
electrification, well construction emissions, and full field development solutions. Comprised of proprietary
technologies and solutions, the Transition Technologies portfolio will help reduce direct and indirect emissions
along with other environmental attributes, while simultaneously driving efficiency, reliability and performance
for our customers.

Human Capital

At December 31, 2021, Schlumberger’s workforce consisted of approximately 92,000 people representing more
than 160 nationalities.

Schlumberger believes that the diversity of its workforce is one of its greatest strengths and its ambition is to
maintain a workforce nationality mix that is aligned to its geographical revenue mix.

weather conditions that can temporarily reduce levels of activity. In addition, hurricanes and typhoons can
disrupt coastal and offshore operations. Furthermore, customer spending patterns for multiclient data, software
and other products may result in higher activity in the fourth quarter of the year as clients seek to fully utilize
their annual budgets. Conversely, customer budget constraints in North America may lead to lower demand for
our services and products in the fourth quarter of the year.

Demand for our products and services is substantially dependent on the levels of expenditures by our
customers. Recent oil and gas industry downturns have resulted in reduced demand for oilfield products
and services and lower expenditures by our customers, which has in the past had, and may in the future
have, a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Demand for our products and services depends substantially on expenditures by our customers for the
exploration, development and production of oil and gas reserves. These expenditures are generally dependent on
our customers’ views of future demand for oil and gas and future oil and gas prices, as well as our customers’
ability to access capital. In addition, the transition of the global energy sector from primarily a fossil fuel-based
system to renewable energy sources could affect our customers’ levels of expenditures.

Actual and anticipated declines in oil and gas prices have in the past resulted in, and may in the future result in,
lower capital expenditures, project modifications, delays or cancellations, general business disruptions, and
delays in payment of, or nonpayment of, amounts that are owed to us. These effects have had, and may in the
future have, a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Historically, oil and gas prices have experienced significant volatility and can be affected by a variety of factors,
including:

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

changes in the supply of and demand for hydrocarbons, which are affected by general economic and
business conditions;

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

the ability or willingness of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and the expanded
alliance known as OPEC+ to set and maintain production levels for oil;

the level of oil and gas exploration and production activity;

the level of excess production capacity;

the level of oil and gas inventories;

access to potential resources;

political and economic uncertainty and geopolitical unrest;

governmental laws, policies, regulations and subsidies, including initiatives to promote the use of
renewable energy sources;

speculation as to the future price of oil and the speculative trading of oil and gas futures contracts;

12

13

•

•

technological advances affecting energy consumption; and

extreme weather conditions, natural disasters, and public health or similar issues, such as pandemics and
epidemics.

The oil and gas industry has historically experienced periodic downturns, which have been characterized by
diminished demand for our products and services and downward pressure on the prices that we are able to
charge. Sustained market uncertainty can also result in lower demand and pricing for our products and services.
A significant industry downturn, sustained market uncertainty, or increased availability of economical alternative
energy sources could result in a reduction in demand for our products and services, which could adversely affect
our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects.

Disruptions in the political, regulatory, economic, and social environments of the countries in which we
operate could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

We generate revenue in more than 120 countries across the world. Our non-US operations accounted for
approximately 85% of our consolidated revenue in 2021, 81% in 2020 and 72% in 2019. Instability and
unforeseen changes in any of the markets in which we operate could result in business disruptions that may have
an adverse effect on the demand for our products and services or our financial condition, results of operations or
cash flows. These factors include, but are not limited to, the following:

uncertain or volatile political, social and economic conditions;

exposure to expropriation, nationalization, deprivation or confiscation of our assets or the assets of our
customers, or other governmental actions;

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

public health crises and other catastrophic events, such as the COVID-19 pandemic;

confiscatory taxation or other adverse tax policies;

theft of, or lack of sufficient legal protection for, proprietary technology and other intellectual property;

deprivation of contract rights;

trade and economic sanctions or other restrictions imposed by the European Union, the United States or
other regions or countries that could restrict or curtail our ability to operate in certain markets;

unexpected changes in legal and regulatory requirements,
enforcement of existing laws;

including changes in interpretation or

currency exchange controls;

inflation; and

currency exchange, rate fluctuations and devaluations.

Failure to effectively and timely address the energy transition could adversely affect our business, results
of operations and cash flows.

Our long-term success depends on our ability to effectively address the energy transition, which will require
adapting our technology portfolio to potentially changing government requirements and customer preferences, as
well as engaging with our customers to develop solutions to decarbonize oil and gas operations. If the energy
transition landscape changes faster than anticipated or in a manner that we do not anticipate, demand for our
products and services could be adversely affected. Furthermore, if we fail or are perceived to not effectively
implement an energy transition strategy, or if investors or financial institutions shift funding away from
companies in fossil fuel-related industries, our access to capital or the market for our securities could be
negatively impacted.

We operate in a highly competitive environment. If we are unable to maintain technology leadership, this
could adversely affect any competitive advantage we hold.

The energy industry is highly competitive. Our business may be adversely affected if we fail to continue
developing and producing innovative technologies in response to changes in the market, including customer and
government requirements, or if we fail to deliver such technologies to our customers in a timely and cost-
competitive manner. If we are unable to maintain technology leadership in our industry, our ability to maintain
market share, defend, maintain or increase prices for our products and services, and negotiate acceptable contract
terms with our customers could be adversely affected. Furthermore, if competing technology accelerates the
obsolescence of any of our products or services, the value of our intellectual property may be reduced, which
could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

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

There can be no assurance that the steps we take to obtain, maintain, protect and enforce our intellectual property
rights will be adequate. 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 when 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.
Patent protection on some types of technology, such as software or machine learning processes, may not be
available in certain countries in which we operate. Our competitors may also 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.

Third parties may claim that we have infringed upon or otherwise violated their intellectual property
rights.

The tools, techniques, methodologies, programs and components we use to provide our services and products
may infringe upon or otherwise violate the intellectual property rights of others or be challenged on that basis.
Regardless of the merits, any such claims generally result in significant legal and other costs, including
reputational harm, and may distract management from running our business. Resolving such claims could
increase our costs, including through royalty payments to acquire licenses, if available, from third parties and
through the development of replacement technologies. If a license to resolve a claim 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.

Our operations require us to comply with numerous laws and regulations, violations of which could have a
material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Our operations are subject to international, regional, national, and local laws and regulations in every place
where we operate, relating to matters such as environmental protection, health and safety, labor and employment,
import/export controls, currency exchange, bribery and corruption, data privacy and cybersecurity, intellectual
property, immigration, and taxation. These laws and regulations are complex, frequently change, and have tended
to become more stringent over time. In the event the scope of these laws and regulations expands in the future,
the incremental cost of compliance could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, or cash
flows.

Our operations are subject to anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws and regulations, such as the Foreign Corrupt
Practices Act, the U.K. Bribery Act and other similar 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, products and data 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 from material violations of 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 business, operations and financial condition. In addition, any major violations
could have a significant effect on our reputation and consequently on our ability to win future business and
maintain existing customer and supplier relationships.

Existing or future laws, regulations, court orders or other initiatives to limit greenhouse gas emissions or
relating to climate change may reduce demand for our products and services.

Continuing political and social attention to the issue of climate change has resulted in both existing and proposed
international agreements and national, regional and local legislation and regulatory measures to limit GHG
emissions. The implementation of these agreements, including the Paris Agreement, the Europe Climate Law,
and other existing or future regulatory mandates, may adversely affect the demand for our products and services,
impose taxes on us or our customers, require us or our customers to reduce GHG emissions from our
technologies or operations, or accelerate the obsolescence of our products or services.

In addition, increasing attention to the risks of climate change has resulted in an increased possibility of litigation
or investigations brought by public and private entities against oil and gas companies in connection with their
GHG emissions. As a result, we or our customers may become subject to court orders compelling a reduction of
GHG emissions or requiring mitigation of the effects of climate change.

There is also increased focus by governments and our customers, investors and other stakeholders on climate
change, sustainability and energy transition matters. Negative attitudes toward or perceptions of our industry or
fossil fuel products and their relationship to the environment have led governments, non-governmental
organizations, and companies to implement initiatives to conserve energy and promote the use of alternative
energy sources, which may reduce the demand for and production of oil and gas in areas of the world where our
customers operate, and thus reduce future demand for our products and services. In addition, initiatives by
investors and financial institutions to limit funding to companies in fossil fuel-related industries may adversely
affect our liquidity or access to capital. Any of these initiatives may, in turn, adversely affect our financial
condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Environmental compliance costs and liabilities arising as a result of environmental laws and regulations
could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We are subject to numerous laws and regulations relating to environmental protection, including those governing
air and GHG emissions, water discharges and waste management, as well as the importation and use of
hazardous materials, radioactive materials, chemicals and explosives. The technical requirements of these laws
and regulations are becoming increasingly complex, stringent and expensive to implement. These laws
sometimes provide for “strict liability” for remediation costs, damages to natural resources or threats to public
health and safety. Strict liability can render us liable for damages without regard to our degree of care or fault.
Some environmental laws provide for joint and several strict liability for remediation of spills and releases of
hazardous substances, and, as a result, we could be liable for the actions of others.

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 a result of exposures to, or releases of, hazardous substances. In
addition, stricter enforcement or changing interpretations of existing laws and regulations, the enactment of 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 have a
material adverse effect on our business, operations and financial condition.

We could be subject to substantial liability claims, including as a result of well incidents, which could
adversely affect our reputation, 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 operations involve production-related activities, radioactive materials, chemicals,
explosives and other equipment and services that are deployed in challenging exploration, development and
production environments. Accidents or acts of malfeasance involving these services or equipment, or a failure of
a product (including as a result of a cyberattack), could cause personal injury, loss of life, damage to or
destruction of property, equipment or the environment, or suspension of operations, which could materially
adversely affect us. Any well incidents, including blowouts at a well site or any loss of containment or well
control, may expose us to additional liabilities, which could be material. Generally, we rely on contractual
indemnities, releases, and limitations on liability with our customers and insurance to protect us from potential
liability related to such events. However, 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.

General Risk Factors

The COVID-19 pandemic and resulting adverse economic conditions have had, and may to continue to
have, a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

The COVID-19 pandemic caused a significant and swift reduction in global economic activity during 2020,
which significantly weakened demand for oil and gas, and in turn, for our products and services. Other effects of
the pandemic included, and may continue to include, significant volatility and disruption of the global financial
markets; adverse revenue and net income effects; disruptions to our operations, including suspension or deferral
of drilling activities; customer shutdowns of oil and gas exploration and production; downward revisions to
customer budgets; limitations on access to sources of liquidity; supply chain disruptions; limitations on access to
raw materials; employee impacts from illness, school closures and other community response measures; and
temporary closures of our facilities or the facilities of our customers and suppliers. The pandemic is continuously
evolving, and the extent to which our operating and financial results will continue to be affected will depend on
various factors beyond our control, such as the ultimate duration, severity and sustained geographic resurgence of
the virus; the emergence of new variants and strains of the virus; and the success of actions to contain the virus
and its variants, or treat its impact, such as the availability and acceptance of vaccines. COVID-19, and the
volatile regional and global economic conditions stemming from the pandemic, could also aggravate our other
risk factors described in this Form 10-K.

Our operations are subject to cyber incidents that could have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition and results of operations.

We are highly dependent on digital technologies and services to conduct our business. We use these technologies
for internal purposes, including data storage, processing and transmission, as well as in our interactions with our
business associates, such as customers and suppliers. In addition, we develop software and other digital products
and services that store, retrieve, manipulate and manage our customers’ information and data, external data,
personal data, and our own data. Our digital technologies and services, and those of our business associates, are
subject to the risk of cyberattacks and, given the nature of such attacks, some incidents can remain undetected for
a period of time despite efforts to detect and respond to them in a timely manner. There can be no assurance that

16

17

the systems we have designed to prevent or limit the effects of cyber incidents or attacks will be sufficient to
prevent or detect material consequences arising from such incidents or attacks, or to avoid a material adverse
impact on our systems after such incidents or attacks do occur. We have experienced and will continue to
experience varying degrees of cyber incidents in the normal conduct of our business, including attacks resulting
from phishing emails and ransomware infections. Even if we successfully defend our own digital technologies
and services, we also rely on third-party business associates, with whom we may share data and services, to
defend their digital technologies and services against attack.

We could suffer significant damage to our reputation if a cyber incident or attack were to allow unauthorized
access to or modification of our customers’ data, other external data, personal data, or our own data, or if the
services we provide to our customers were disrupted, or if our digital products or services were reported to have
or were perceived as having security vulnerabilities. This could lead to fewer customers using our digital
products and services, which could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of
operations. In addition, if our systems, or our third-party business associates’ systems, for protecting against
cybersecurity risks prove to be insufficient, we could be adversely affected by, among other things, loss of or
damage to intellectual property, proprietary or confidential information, or customer, supplier, or employee data;
breach of personal data; interruption of our business operations; increased legal and regulatory exposure,
including fines and remediation costs; and increased costs required to prevent, respond to, or mitigate
cybersecurity attacks. These risks could harm our reputation and our relationships with our employees, business
associates and other third parties, and may result in claims against us. The occurrence of any of these risks could
have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our aspirations, goals, and initiatives related to sustainability and emissions reduction, and our public
statements and disclosures regarding them, expose us to numerous risks.

We have developed, and will continue to develop and set, goals, targets, and other objectives related to
sustainability matters, including our net-zero target and our energy transition strategy. Statements related to these
goals, targets and objectives reflect our current plans and do not constitute a guarantee that they will be achieved.
Our efforts to research, establish, accomplish, and accurately report on these goals, targets, and objectives expose
us to numerous operational, reputational, financial, legal, and other risks. Our ability to achieve any stated goal,
target, or objective, including with respect to emissions reduction, is subject to numerous factors and conditions,
some of which are outside of our control.

Our business may face increased scrutiny from investors and other stakeholders related to our sustainability
activities, including the goals, targets, and objectives that we announce, and our methodologies and timelines for
pursuing them. If our sustainability practices do not meet investor or other stakeholder expectations and
standards, which continue to evolve, our reputation, our ability to attract or retain employees, and our
attractiveness as an investment or business partner could be negatively affected. Similarly, our failure or
perceived failure to pursue or fulfill our sustainability-focused goals, targets, and objectives, to comply with
ethical, environmental, or other standards, regulations, or expectations, or to satisfy various reporting standards
with respect to these matters, within the timelines we announce, or at all, could adversely affect our business or
reputation, as well as expose us to government enforcement actions and private litigation.

Failure to attract and retain qualified personnel could impede our operations.

Our future success depends on our ability to recruit, train, and retain qualified personnel. We require highly
skilled personnel to operate and provide technical services and support for our business. Competition for the
personnel necessary for our businesses intensifies as activity increases and technology evolves. In periods of high
utilization, it is often more difficult to find and retain qualified individuals. This could increase our costs or have
other material adverse effects on our operations.

Severe weather, including extreme weather conditions associated with climate change, has in the past and
may in the future adversely affect our operations and financial results.

Our business has been, and in the future will be, affected by severe weather in areas where we operate, which
could materially affect our operations and financial results. Extreme weather conditions such as hurricanes,
flooding and landslides have in the past resulted in, and may in the future result in, the evacuation of personnel,
stoppage of services and activity disruptions at our facilities, in our supply chain, or at well-sites, or result in
disruptions of our customers’ operations. Particularly severe weather events affecting platforms or structures may
result in a suspension of activities. In addition, acute or chronic physical impacts of climate change, such as sea
level rise, coastal storm surge, inland flooding from intense rainfall and hurricane-strength winds may damage
our facilities. Any such extreme weather events may result in increased operating costs or decreases in revenue,
which could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

2021 Executive Overview

Continuing a broad recovery that began in 2020, oil markets were generally positive throughout the year, with
Brent oil price starting 2021 at the year’s low of $51 per barrel, reaching a high of $85 in November. Sentiment
in oil markets was largely positive as global demand recovered and supply was managed by a combination of the
reassurance of continued intervention from OPEC+, and ongoing capital discipline by publicly traded operators
in North America.

Within the context of strengthening fundamentals across the year, there were several instances where the
potential impact of COVID-19 variants raised concerns regarding demand growth. However, these periods were
shorter lived than the prolonged decline in 2020, which was characterized by economic lockdowns, and oil prices
soon rebounded. Pricing was initially supported by OPEC+ production agreements that had come into effect in
2020 and remained resilient as those production targets were gradually increased in the second half of 2021, as
crude and product stocks continued a multiyear downward trend.

International activity grew broadly across geographies in the second half of the year, including offshore and
deepwater, with operators investing in projects to meet long-term objectives and regional demand growth.

Activity in North America land also rebounded, albeit from a very low base in 2020, but did not return to
prepandemic levels, as investment and production were subdued as a result of continued capital discipline on the
part of larger producers.

International natural gas pricing, while following the traditional seasonal pattern, was volatile, swinging from
pandemic-driven lows in 2020 to record highs around the world. Domestically, US Henry Hub natural gas prices
rose dramatically, averaging $3.91 per million British thermal units on a monthly basis—as compared to $2.04 in
2020—and reaching a peak of $5.87 in October before ending the year at $3.73.

Against this backdrop, Schlumberger’s full-year 2021 revenue of $22.9 billion decreased 3% year-on-year as a
result of the divestitures of the OneStim pressure pumping business and the North America low-flow artificial lift
business during the fourth quarter of 2020. These divestitures were consistent with Schlumberger’s strategy to
focus on expanding margins, minimizing earnings volatility and focusing on less capital-intensive businesses by
high-grading and rationalizing its business portfolio. The divested businesses accounted for approximately 25%
of Schlumberger’s North America revenue in 2020. Excluding the impact of these divestitures, which generated
$1.3 billion of revenue during 2020 (all of which was in North America), full-year 2021 global revenue grew 3%
year-on-year, driven by an 8% increase in North America and a 2% increase in international revenue.

Financial performance in 2021 was driven by global oil and gas activity growth in the second half of the year as
investment spending experienced double-digit growth year-on-year. Consequently, Schlumberger’s revenue in
the second half of 2021 grew 12% compared to the same period of 2020, and increased 18% when adjusted for

the effects of the divestitures. International revenue increased 12% year-on-year during the second half of 2021,
and North America revenue increased 10%, or 44% when adjusted for the effects of the divestitures (which
generated $0.5 billion of revenue during the second half of 2020).

Looking ahead into 2022, we believe the industry macro fundamentals are very favorable, due to the combination
of projected steady demand recovery, an increasingly tight supply market, and supportive oil prices.
Schlumberger expects this to result in a material step up in industry capital spending with double-digit growth in
both the international and North American markets. Absent any further significant COVID-related disruption, oil
demand is expected to exceed prepandemic levels before the end of the year and further strengthen in 2023. We
believe these favorable market conditions are similar to those experienced during the last industry supercycle,
suggesting that resurgent global demand-led capital spending will result in an exceptional multiyear growth
cycle.

Throughout 2021, Schlumberger continued to strengthen its core portfolio, enhanced its sustainability leadership,
successfully advanced its digital journey, and expanded its new energy portfolio. Schlumberger is well prepared
to fully seize this growth ahead. Schlumberger is entering this cycle in a position of strength, having reset its
operating leverage, expanded peer-leading margins across multiple quarters, and aligned its technology and
business portfolio with the new industry imperatives.

Fourth-quarter revenue of $6.22 billion increased 6% sequentially as a result of broad-based growth across all
geographies and Divisions.

International revenue of $4.90 billion grew 5% sequentially, driven primarily by strengthening activity, increased
digital sales, and early benefits of pricing improvements. The sequential revenue increase was led by growth in
Europe/CIS/Africa largely due to strong offshore activity in Africa. This growth was complemented by project
startups and activity gains in the Middle East & Asia and sustained activity growth in Latin America.

In North America, revenue of $1.28 billion grew 13% sequentially, outperforming the rig count growth. The
sequential growth was driven by strong offshore and land drilling activity and increased exploration data
licensing.

Fourth-quarter pretax segment operating margin of 16% increased 31 basis points (bps) sequentially, reaching its
highest quarterly level since 2015, largely as a result of the accretive effect of accelerating digital sales.

Digital & Integration

Fourth-quarter revenue of $889 million increased 10% sequentially, propelled by accelerated digital sales
internationally, particularly in Europe/CIS/Africa and Middle East & Asia, and increased exploration data
licensing sales in North America offshore and the Permian. These increases, however, were partially offset by the
effects of a temporary production interruption in the APS projects in Ecuador due to pipeline disruption.

Digital & Integration pretax operating margin of 38% expanded 268 bps sequentially, primarily due to higher
digital and exploration data licensing sales.

Reservoir Performance

Fourth-quarter revenue of $1.3 billion increased 8% sequentially, primarily due to higher intervention activity
across the international offshore markets and activity gains in the Middle East & Asia.

Reservoir Performance pretax operating margin of 16% was essentially flat sequentially.

(4) Charges and credits are described in detail in Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Well Construction

Fourth-quarter revenue of $2.4 billion increased 5% sequentially, driven by higher measurements and drilling
fluids activity and increased drilling equipment sales. North America revenue increased 15% due to higher rig
count on land and increased well construction activity in the US Gulf of Mexico. International revenue growth of
3% was driven by growth in Latin America.

Well Construction pretax operating margin of 15% was essentially flat sequentially.

Production Systems

Fourth-quarter revenue of $1.8 billion increased 5% sequentially driven by a 6% increase in international
revenue. This growth was mainly in Europe/CIS/Africa as a result of strong project progress.

Production Systems pretax operating margin of 9% declined 85 bps sequentially due to an unfavorable mix and
the impact of delayed deliveries due to global supply and logistics constraints.

Full-year 2021 revenue of $22.9 billion decreased 3% year-on-year primarily as a result of the divestitures of the
OneStim pressure pumping business and the low-flow artificial lift business during the fourth quarter of 2020.
Excluding the impact of these divestitures, which generated $1.3 billion of revenue (all of which was in North
America) during 2020, global revenue increased 3% year-on-year.

In North America revenue declined 18% year-on-year; however, excluding the impact of the previously
described divestitures, full-year revenue increased 8%. International revenue also increased 2%.

The growth in 2021 was driven by strong global oil and gas activity in the second half of the year. Schlumberger’s
revenue in the second half of 2021 grew 12% compared to the same period of 2020 and increased 18% when
adjusted for the effects of the divestitures. This growth was pervasive across all geographies and Divisions.

Full-year 2021 pretax operating margin of 15% was 450 bps higher compared to 2020, primarily due to the
divestiture of certain businesses in North America, which were previously dilutive to margins, combined with
reduced depreciation and amortization expense following the asset impairment charges recorded during 2020 and
the effects of cost reduction measures.

Digital & Integration

Full-year 2021 revenue of $3.3 billion increased 7% year-on-year, primarily driven by robust APS project
revenue from higher production and improved oil prices.

24

25

Year-on-year, pretax operating margin increased 11 percentage points to 35%. Operating margin increased due to
improved profitability from APS projects as a result of higher oil prices and reduced amortization expense
following the asset impairment charges that were recorded during 2020 relating to certain APS investments.

Reservoir Performance

Full-year 2021 revenue of $4.6 billion decreased 18% year-on-year, largely reflecting the effects of the OneStim
divestiture, which generated $1.2 billion of revenue during 2020. Excluding the impact of the OneStim
divestiture, revenue increased 5% year-on-year primarily driven by strong activity in Latin America.

Year-on-year, pretax operating margin increased by 779 bps to 14% despite the significant drop in revenue,
primarily due to the divestiture of the OneStim business, which was previously dilutive to margins.

Well Construction

Full-year 2021 revenue of $8.7 billion increased 1% year-on-year.

Year-on-year, pretax operating margin increased 363 bps to 14% despite the relatively flat revenue, largely as a
result of the implementation of cost control measures.

Production Systems

During the fourth quarter of 2020, a start-up company that Schlumberger previously invested in completed an
initial public offering. As a result, Schlumberger recognized an unrealized gain of $39 million to increase the
carrying value of this investment to its fair value of $43 million as of December 31, 2020. See Note 3 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements. Schlumberger sold this investment during 2021, which did not result in a
material gain or loss.

Interest Expense

Interest expense of $539 million in 2021 decreased $24 million compared to 2020 primarily as a result of the
$2.7 billion year-on-year reduction in total debt outstanding.

The decrease in earnings of equity method investments in 2021 as compared to 2020 is primarily attributable to
Schlumberger’s share of net losses associated with Schlumberger’s investment in Liberty. Schlumberger records
its share of Liberty’s net income or loss on a one-quarter lag.

During the fourth quarter of 2021 Schlumberger sold 9.5 million of its shares of Liberty and recognized a gain of
$28 million. See Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

During the third quarter of 2021, a start-up company that Schlumberger previously invested in was acquired. As a
result of this transaction, Schlumberger’s ownership interest was converted into shares of a publicly traded
company. Schlumberger recognized an unrealized pretax gain of $47 million to increase the carrying value of
this investment to its estimated fair value of approximately $55 million. See Note 3 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements.

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 generally
decreases. Conversely, when the percentage of pretax earnings generated outside of North America decreases, the
Schlumberger effective tax rate generally increases.

The Schlumberger effective tax rate was 19% in 2021 as compared to 7% in 2020. The increase in the effective
tax rate was primarily due to the charges and credits described in Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements. These charges and credits reduced the effective tax rate in 2020 by 12 percentage points as a
significant portion of these charges were not tax-effective.

Charges and Credits

Schlumberger recorded charges and credits during 2021 and 2020. These charges and credits, which are
summarized below, are more fully described in Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

”Net debt” represents gross debt less cash and short-term investments. 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 APS investments.

Includes severance payments of $248 million and $843 million during 2021 and 2020, respectively.

“Free cash flow” represents cash flow from operations less capital expenditures, APS 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 our ability 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 a substitute for or superior to, cash flow from operations.

Key liquidity events during 2021 and 2020 included:

In April 2020, in light of the uncertainty of the depth and extent of the contraction in oil demand due to
the COVID-19 pandemic combined with the weaker commodity price environment at
the time,
Schlumberger announced a 75% reduction to its quarterly cash dividend. The revised dividend supports
Schlumberger’s value proposition through a balanced approach of shareholder distributions and organic
investment, and provided flexibility to address the uncertain environment. This decision reflected the
Company’s focus on its capital stewardship program as well as its commitment to maintain both a
strong liquidity position and a strong investment grade credit rating that provides privileged access to
the financial markets. Dividends paid during 2021 and 2020 were $0.7 billion and $1.7 billion,
respectively.

Cash flow from operations was $4.7 billion in 2021 and $2.9 billion in 2020. The increase in cash flow
from operations in 2021 as compared to 2020 was driven by the sharp increase in earnings excluding
non-cash charges and credits and depreciation and amortization expense as a result of the improved
business conditions in 2021, as well as the receipt of the $0.5 billion US federal tax refund described
below and a $0.6 billion year-on-year reduction in severance payments.

On January 21, 2016, the Schlumberger Board of Directors approved a $10 billion share repurchase
program for Schlumberger common stock. Schlumberger had repurchased $1.0 billion of Schlumberger
common stock under this program as of December 31, 2021. Schlumberger did not repurchase any of its
common stock during 2021, and repurchased $26 million of its common stock during 2020.

Capital investments (consisting of capital expenditures, APS investments and multiclient seismic data
capitalized) were $1.7 billion in 2021 and $1.5 billion in 2020. Capital investments during 2022 are
expected to be between $1.9 billion and $2.0 billion.

During the fourth quarter of 2021, Schlumberger deposited sufficient funds with the trustee for its $1.0
billion of 2.40% Senior Notes due 2022 (including payment of the February 1, 2022 interest payment) to
satisfy and discharge all of its obligations relating to such notes. As a result of this transaction,
Schlumberger recorded a charge of $10 million. This charge is reflected in Interest in the Consolidated
Statement of Income (Loss). See Note 3 – Charges and Credits.

During the fourth quarter of 2021 Schlumberger sold 9.5 million of its shares of Liberty and received
proceeds of $109 million.

During the second quarter of 2021, Schlumberger repurchased all $665 million of its 3.30% Senior
Notes due 2021.

During the second quarter of 2021, Schlumberger received a federal tax refund of $477 million relating
to the carryback of US net operating losses pursuant to the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic
Security Act.

During the fourth quarter of 2020, Schlumberger repaid certain finance lease obligations totaling $188
million as a result of the OneStim transaction.

During the third quarter of 2020, Schlumberger issued $500 million of 1.40% Senior Notes due 2025
and $350 million of 2.65% Senior Notes due 2030.
During the second quarter of 2020, Schlumberger issued €1.0 billion of 1.375% Guaranteed Notes due
2026, $900 million of 2.650% Senior Notes due 2030 and €1.0 billion of 2.00% Guaranteed Notes due
2032.

During the second quarter of 2020, Schlumberger repurchased all $600 million of its 4.20% Senior
Notes due 2021 and $935 million of its 3.30% Senior Notes due 2021. Schlumberger paid a premium of
approximately $40 million in connection with these repurchases. This premium was classified in
Impairments & other in the Consolidated Statement of Income (Loss). See Note 3 – Charges and
Credits.

During the first quarter of 2020, Schlumberger issued €400 million of 0.25% Notes due 2027 and
€400 million of 0.50% Notes due 2031.

During the first quarter of 2020, Schlumberger completed the sale of its 49% interest in the Bandurria
Sur Block in Argentina. The net cash proceeds from this transaction, combined with the proceeds
received from the divestiture of a smaller APS project, amounted to $298 million.

As of December 31, 2021, Schlumberger had $3.14 billion of cash and short-term investments and committed
credit facility agreements with commercial banks aggregating $6.60 billion, all of which was available and
unused. Schlumberger believes these amounts, along with cash generated by ongoing operations, will be
sufficient to meet future business requirements for the next 12 months and beyond.

The following table reflects the carrying amounts of Schlumberger’s debt at December 31, 2021 by year of
maturity:

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 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.

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. Adjustments to the allowance may be required in future
periods depending on how such potential issues are resolved, or if the financial condition of Schlumberger’s
customers were to deteriorate resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments.

As a large multinational company with a long history of operating in a cyclical industry, Schlumberger has
extensive experience in working with its customers during difficult times to manage its accounts receivable.
During weak economic environments or when there is an extended period of weakness in oil and gas prices,
Schlumberger typically experiences delays in the payment of its receivables. However, except for a $469 million
accounts receivable write-off during 2017 as a result of the political and economic condition in Venezuela,
Schlumberger has not historically had material write-offs due to uncollectible accounts receivable. Schlumberger
generates revenue in more than 120 countries. As of December 31, 2021, five of those countries individually
accounted for greater than 5% of Schlumberger’s net accounts receivable balance, of which only one (the United
States) accounted for greater than 10% of such receivables.

32

33

At times in recent periods, Schlumberger has experienced delays in payments from its primary customer in
Mexico. Included in Receivables, less allowance for doubtful accounts in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of
December 30, 2021 is approximately $0.5 billion of receivables relating to Mexico at December 31, 2021 ($0.7
billion at December 31, 2020). Schlumberger’s receivables from its primary customer in Mexico are not in
dispute and Schlumberger has not historically had any material write-offs due to uncollectible accounts
receivable relating to this customer.

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 or more 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 a quantitative 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 based on that
difference.

Schlumberger has the option to bypass the qualitative assessment for any reporting unit in any period and
proceed directly to performing the quantitative goodwill impairment test.

Schlumberger elected to perform the qualitative assessment described above for purposes of its annual goodwill
impairment test in 2021. Based on this assessment, Schlumberger concluded it was more likely than not that the
fair value of each of its reporting units was significantly greater than its carrying amount. Accordingly, no further
testing was required.

During 2020 and 2019, Schlumberger recorded goodwill impairment charges of $3.1 billion and $8.8 billion and
intangible asset impairment charges of $3.3 billion and $1.1 billion, respectively. Refer to Note 3 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements for details regarding the facts and circumstances that led to this impairment
and how the fair value of each reporting unit was estimated, including the significant assumptions used and other
details.

Long-lived assets, including fixed assets, intangible assets and investments in APS 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 that will be due upon the conclusion of these audits.
Estimates of these tax liabilities are judgmental and are made based upon prior experience, and are updated in
light of changes in facts and circumstances. However, due to the uncertain and complex application of tax
regulations, the ultimate resolution of audits may result in liabilities 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.

Revenue Recognition for Certain Long-term Construction-type Contracts

Schlumberger recognizes revenue for certain long-term construction-type contracts over time. These contracts
involve significant design and engineering efforts in order to satisfy custom designs for customer-specific
applications. Under this 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.
Approximately 6% of Schlumberger’s revenue in 2021, and 5% in each of 2020 and 2019, respectively, was
recognized under this method.

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.

Pension and Postretirement Benefits

Schlumberger’s pension and postretirement benefit obligations are described in detail
in Note 16 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:

•

•

•

•

The discount rate utilized to determine the liability for Schlumberger’s United States pension plans and
postretirement medical plan was 3.00% at December 31, 2021 and 2.60% at December 31, 2020.

The weighted-average discount rate utilized to determine the liability for Schlumberger’s international
pension plans was 2.83% at December 31, 2021 and 2.38% at December 31, 2020.

The discount rate utilized to determine expense for Schlumberger’s United States pension plans and
postretirement medical plan was 2.60% in 2021 and 3.30% in 2020.

The weighted-average discount rate utilized to determine expense for Schlumberger’s international
pension plans was 2.38% in 2021 and 3.27% in 2020.

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, with consideration given to the distribution of investments by asset class and historical rates of return

34

35

for each individual asset class. The average expected rate of return on plan assets for the United States pension
plans was 6.60% in both 2021 and 2020. The weighted average expected rate of return on plan assets for the
international pension plans was 6.73% in 2021 and 6.71% in 2020. A lower expected rate of return would
increase pension expense.

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

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

As a multinational company, Schlumberger generates revenue in more than 120 countries. Schlumberger’s
functional currency is primarily the US dollar. Approximately 70% of Schlumberger’s revenue in 2021 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, 2021 market rates would increase the unrealized
value of Schlumberger’s forward contracts by $5 million. Conversely, a 10% depreciation in the US dollar from
the December 31, 2021 market rates would decrease the unrealized value of Schlumberger’s forward contracts by
$8 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, 2021, contracts were outstanding for the US dollar equivalent of $7.7 billion in various foreign
currencies, of which $6.0 billion related to hedges of debt balances denominated in currencies other than the
functional currency.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Form 10-K, as well as other statements we make, contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Business Description

incorporated in Curaçao) and its consolidated subsidiaries
Schlumberger Limited (Schlumberger N.V.,
(collectively, “Schlumberger”) form a technology company that partners with customers to access energy.
Schlumberger provides leading digital solutions and deploys innovative technologies to enable performance and
sustainability for the global energy industry. Schlumberger collaborates to create technology that unlocks access
to energy for the benefit of all.

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, the 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 for certain long-term construction-type contracts over time; recoverability of fixed assets, goodwill,
intangible assets, Asset Performance Solutions investments and investments in affiliates;
income taxes;
multiclient seismic data; contingencies and actuarial assumptions for employee benefit plans. Schlumberger
bases its estimates on historical experience and other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the
circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and
liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under
different assumptions or conditions.

Revenue Recognition

Schlumberger recognizes revenue upon the transfer of control of promised products or services to customers at
an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for these products or services. The vast
majority of Schlumberger’s services and product offerings are short-term in nature. The time between invoicing
and when payment is due under these arrangements is generally between 30 to 60 days.

Revenue is occasionally generated from contractual arrangements that include multiple performance obligations.
Revenue from these arrangements is allocated to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone
selling price. Standalone selling prices are generally determined based on the prices charged to customers or
using expected costs plus margin.

Revenue is recognized for certain long-term construction-type contracts over time. These contracts involve
significant design and engineering efforts in order to satisfy custom designs for customer-specific applications.
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. Due to the nature of these
projects, adjustments to estimates of contract revenue and total contract costs may be required as work
progresses. Progress billings are generally issued upon completion of certain phases of work as stipulated in the
contract. Any expected losses on a project are recorded in full in the period in which they become probable.

Due to the nature of its businesses, Schlumberger does not have significant backlog. Total backlog was $2.8
billion at December 31, 2021, of which approximately 50% is expected to be recognized as revenue during 2022.

Short-term Investments

Short-term investments 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 and are stated at
cost plus accrued interest, which approximates fair value.

For purposes of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, Schlumberger does not consider Short-term
investments to be cash equivalents.

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 & 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 the
ability to exercise significant influence are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses reported as a
component of Interest & other income.

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 services 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, an individual survey
generally will not carry a net book value greater than a 4-year, straight-line amortized value.

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

Asset Performance Solutions

Asset Performance Solutions (“APS”) projects are generally focused on developing and co-managing production
of customers’ assets under long-term agreements. Schlumberger invests its own services and products into the
field development activities and operations and is compensated on a fee-per-barrel basis or based on cash flow
generated. This includes certain arrangements whereby Schlumberger is only compensated based on incremental
production that it helps deliver above a mutually agreed baseline.

Schlumberger capitalizes its investments in a project including the direct costs associated with providing its
services or products. These capitalized investments are amortized to the Consolidated Statement of Income (Loss)
as the related 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.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Schlumberger’s assets that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, short-term
investments, receivables from clients and derivative financial instruments. Schlumberger places its cash and
short-term investments 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 generates revenue in more than 120 countries and as such, its accounts receivable are spread over
many countries and customers. The United States represented 12% of Schlumberger’s net accounts receivable
balance at December 31, 2021. No other country accounted for greater than 10% of Schlumberger’s accounts
receivable balance. Schlumberger maintains an allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable based on
expected collectability and performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition. If the
financial condition of Schlumberger’s customers were to deteriorate resulting in an impairment of their ability to
make payments, adjustments to the allowance may be required.

Third quarter 2021:

•

During the third quarter of 2021, a start-up company that Schlumberger previously invested in was
acquired. As a result of this transaction, Schlumberger’s ownership interest was converted into shares of
a publicly traded company. Schlumberger recognized an unrealized pretax gain of $47 million to
increase the carrying value of this investment to its estimated fair value of approximately $55 million.
This unrealized gain is reflected in Interest & other income in the Consolidated Statement of Income
(Loss).

Fourth quarter 2021:

•

On December 31, 2020, Schlumberger contributed its onshore hydraulic fracturing business in the
United States and Canada (“OneStim”), including its pressure pumping, pumpdown perforating and
Permian frac sand business to Liberty Oilfield Services Inc. (“Liberty”) in exchange for a 37% equity
interest in Liberty. During the fourth quarter of 2021, Schlumberger sold 9.5 million of its shares of
Liberty and received proceeds of $109 million. As a result of this transaction Schlumberger recognized
a gain of $28 million. This gain is classified in Interest & other income in the Consolidated Statement of
Income (Loss).

As of December 31, 2021, Schlumberger had a 31% equity interest in Liberty. Based on the quoted
in Liberty was
market prices of Liberty’s shares,
approximately $550 million as of December 31, 2021. Schlumberger accounts for its investment in
Liberty under the equity method of accounting and records its share of Liberty’s net income or loss on a

First quarter 2020:

•

Geopolitical events that increased the supply of low-priced oil to the global market occurred at the same
time that demand weakened due to the worldwide effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to a
collapse in oil prices during March 2020. As a result, Schlumberger’s market capitalization deteriorated
significantly compared to the end of 2019. Schlumberger’s stock price reached a low during the first

48

49

quarter of 2020 not seen since 1995. Additionally, the Philadelphia Oil Services Sector index (“OSX”),
which is comprised of companies involved in the oil services sector, reached an all-time low. As a result
of these facts, Schlumberger determined that it was more likely than not that the fair value of certain of
its reporting units was less than their carrying value. Therefore, Schlumberger performed an interim
goodwill impairment test.

Schlumberger had 11 reporting units with goodwill balances aggregating $16.0 billion. Schlumberger
determined that the fair value of four of its reporting units, representing $4.5 billion of goodwill, was
substantially in excess of their carrying value. Schlumberger performed a detailed quantitative
impairment assessment of the remaining seven reporting units, which represented $11.5 billion of
goodwill. As a result of this assessment, Schlumberger concluded that the goodwill associated with each
of these seven reporting units was impaired, resulting in a $3.1 billion goodwill impairment charge.

Following the $3.1 billion goodwill impairment charge relating to these seven reporting units, six of
these reporting units had a remaining goodwill balance. These goodwill balances ranged between $0.2
billion and $5.0 billion and aggregated to $8.4 billion as of March 31, 2020.

Schlumberger used the income approach to estimate the fair value of its reporting units, but also
considered the market approach to validate the results. The income approach estimates the fair value by
discounting each reporting unit’s estimated future cash flows using Schlumberger’s estimate of the
discount rate, or expected return, that a marketplace participant would have required as of the valuation
date. The market approach includes the use of comparative multiples to corroborate the discounted cash
flow results. The market approach involves significant judgement involved in the selection of the
appropriate peer group companies and valuation multiples.

Some of the more significant assumptions inherent in the income approach include the estimated future
net annual cash flows for each reporting unit and the discount rate. Schlumberger selected the
assumptions used in the discounted cash flow projections using historical data supplemented by current
and anticipated market conditions and estimated growth rates. Schlumberger’s estimates are based upon
assumptions believed to be reasonable. However, given the inherent uncertainty in determining the
assumptions underlying a discounted cash flow analysis, particularly in a volatile market, actual results
may differ from those used in Schlumberger’s valuations which could result in additional impairment
charges in the future.

The discount rates utilized to value Schlumberger’s reporting units were between 12.0% and 13.5%,
depending on the risks and uncertainty inherent in the respective reporting unit as well as the size of the
reporting unit. Assuming all other assumptions and inputs used in each of the respective discounted cash
flow analysis were held constant, a 50-basis point increase or decrease in the discount rate assumptions
would have changed the fair value of the seven reporting units, on average, by less than 5%.

•

The negative market indicators described above were triggering events that indicated that certain of
Schlumberger’s long-lived intangible and tangible assets may have been impaired. Recoverability
testing indicated that certain long-lived assets were impaired. The estimated fair value of these assets
was determined to be below their carrying value. As a result, Schlumberger recorded the following
impairment charges:

-

-

-

$3.3 billion relating to intangible assets, of which $2.2 billion relates to Schlumberger’s 2016
acquisition of Cameron International Corporation and $1.1 billion relates to Schlumberger’s 2010
acquisition of Smith International, Inc. Following this impairment charge, the carrying value of the
impaired intangible assets was approximately $0.9 billion.

$1.3 billion relating to the carrying value of certain APS projects in North America.

$0.6 billion of fixed assets associated with the pressure pumping business in North America.

•

$202 million of severance.

•

•

$79 million of other restructuring charges, primarily consisting of the impairment of an equity method
investment that was determined to be other-than-temporarily impaired.

$164 million relating to a valuation allowance against certain deferred tax assets.

Second quarter 2020:

•

•

•

As previously noted, late in the first quarter of 2020 geopolitical events that increased the supply of low-
priced oil to the global market occurred at the same time as demand weakened due to the worldwide
effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, which led to a collapse in oil prices. As a result, the second quarter
of 2020 was the most challenging quarter in decades. Schlumberger responded to these market
conditions by taking actions to restructure its business and rationalize its asset base during the second
quarter of 2020. These actions included reducing headcount, closing facilities and exiting business lines
in certain countries. Additionally, due to the resulting activity decline, Schlumberger had assets that
would no longer be utilized. As a consequence of these circumstances and decisions, Schlumberger
recorded the following restructuring and asset impairment charges:

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

$1.021 billion of severance associated with reducing its workforce by more than 21,000 employees.

$730 million relating to the carrying value of certain APS projects in Latin America.

$666 million of fixed asset impairments primarily relating to equipment that would no longer be
utilized and facilities it exited.

$603 million write-down of the carrying value of inventory to its net realizable value.

$311 million write-down of right-of-use assets under operating leases associated with leased
facilities Schlumberger exited and excess equipment.

$205 million of costs associated with exiting certain activities.

$156 million impairment of certain multiclient seismic data.

$60 million of other costs, including a $42 million increase in the allowance for the doubtful
accounts.

Schlumberger repurchased all $600 million of its 4.20% Senior Notes due 2021 and $935 million of its
3.30% Senior Notes due 2021. Schlumberger paid a premium of $40 million in connection with these
repurchases.

As a consequence of the workforce reductions described above, Schlumberger recorded a curtailment
gain of $69 million relating to its US postretirement medical plan. See Note 16 – Pension and Other
Postretirement Benefit Plans for further details.

Third quarter 2020:

•

Schlumberger recorded the following restructuring charges:

-

-

-

$254 million of facility exit charges as Schlumberger continued to rationalize its real estate
footprint relating to both leased and owned facilities.

$63 million of severance.

$33 million of other charges.

Fourth quarter 2020:

•

On December 31, 2020, Schlumberger contributed its OneStim business to Liberty in exchange for a
37% equity interest in Liberty. As a result of this transaction, Schlumberger recognized a gain of $104
million. This gain is classified in Gains on sales of businesses in the Consolidated Statement of Income
(Loss).

During the fourth quarter of 2020, a start-up company that Schlumberger previously invested in
completed an initial public offering. As a result, Schlumberger recognized an unrealized gain of $39
million to increase the carrying value of this investment
to its fair value of approximately $43
million. This unrealized gain is reflected in Interest & other income in the Consolidated Statement of
Income (Loss). Schlumberger sold its interest in this company during 2021.

During the fourth quarter of 2020, Schlumberger entered into an agreement to purchase new software
licenses. This transaction rendered certain previously purchased licenses obsolete. As a result,
Schlumberger wrote off the remaining $62 million of net book value associated with the obsolete
software licenses.

Third quarter of 2019:

•

During August 2019, Schlumberger’s market capitalization deteriorated significantly compared to the
end of the second quarter of 2019. Schlumberger’s stock price reached a low not seen since 2005.
Additionally, the OSX reached an 18-year low.

As a result of these facts, Schlumberger determined that it was more likely than not that the fair value of
certain of its reporting units was less than their carrying value. Therefore, Schlumberger performed an
interim goodwill impairment test as of August 31, 2019.

As of August 31, 2019, Schlumberger had 17 reporting units with goodwill balances aggregating $25.0
billion. Schlumberger determined that the fair value of seven of its reporting units, representing

approximately $13.8 billion of the goodwill, was substantially in excess of their carrying value.
Schlumberger performed a detailed quantitative impairment assessment of the remaining 10 reporting
units, which represented $11.2 billion of goodwill. As a result of this assessment, Schlumberger
concluded that the goodwill associated with nine of the 10 reporting units was impaired, resulting in an
$8.8 billion goodwill impairment charge.

Schlumberger primarily used the income approach to estimate the fair value of its reporting units, but
also considered the market approach to validate the results. The income approach estimates the fair
value by discounting each reporting unit’s estimated future cash flows using Schlumberger’s estimate of
the discount rate, or expected return, that a marketplace participant would have required as of the
valuation date. The market approach includes the use of comparative multiples to corroborate the
discounted cash flow results. The market approach involves significant judgement involved in the
selection of the appropriate peer group companies and valuation multiples.

Some of the more significant assumptions inherent in the income approach include the estimated future
net annual cash flows for each reporting unit and the discount rate. Schlumberger selected the
assumptions used in the discounted cash flow projections using historical data supplemented by current
and anticipated market conditions and estimated growth rates. Schlumberger’s estimates are based upon
assumptions believed to be reasonable.

The discount rates utilized to value Schlumberger’s reporting units were between 12.5% and 14.0%,
depending on the risks and uncertainty inherent in the respective reporting unit. Assuming all other
assumptions and inputs used in each of the respective discounted cash flow analysis were held constant,
a 50 basis point increase in the discount rate assumption would have increased the goodwill impairment
charge by approximately $0.3 billion. Conversely, assuming all other assumptions and inputs used in
each of the respective discounted cash flow analysis were held constant, a 50 basis point decrease in the
discount rate assumption would have decreased the goodwill impairment charge by approximately $0.4
billion.

•

The negative market indicators described above combined with deteriorating market conditions in North
America, as well as the results of the previously mentioned fair value determinations of certain of
Schlumberger’s reporting units and the appointment of a new Chief Executive Officer, were all
triggering events that indicated that certain of Schlumberger’s long-lived tangible and intangible assets
may be impaired.

Recoverability testing, which was performed as of August 31, 2019, indicated that long-lived assets
associated with certain asset groups were impaired. The estimated fair value of these asset groups was
determined to be below their carrying value. As a result, Schlumberger recorded the following
impairment and related charges:

-

-

-

$1.085 billion of intangible assets, of which $842 million relates to Schlumberger’s 2010
acquisition of Smith International, Inc. The remaining $243 million primarily relates to other
acquisitions in North America.

$1.575 billion of charges relating to Schlumberger’s pressure pumping business in North America.
This amount consists of $1.324 billion of pressure pumping equipment and related assets; $98
million of right-of-use assets under operating leases; $121 million relating to a supply contract; $19
million of inventory; and $13 million of severance.

$310 million of charges primarily relating to other businesses in North America, consisting of $230
million of fixed asset impairments, $70 million of inventory write-downs and $10 million of
severance.

•

As a result of the economic challenges in Argentina, Schlumberger recorded $127 million of charges
consisting of $72 million of asset impairments, a $26 million devaluation charge and $29 million of
severance.

-

$231 million relating to certain equity method investments that were determined to be other-than-
temporarily impaired.

$294 million impairment relating to the carrying value of certain smaller APS projects.

$242 million of restructuring charges consisting of: $62 million of severance; $57 million relating
to the acceleration of stock-based compensation expense associated with certain individuals; $49
million of business divestiture costs; $29 million relating to the repurchase of certain Senior Notes;
and $45 million of other provisions.

Fourth quarter of 2019:

•

Schlumberger recorded the following restructuring charges:

•

•

•

-

-

-

$225 million associated with facility closures and costs to exit certain activities in North America.
These charges included $123 million relating to fixed assets; $55 million of right-of-use assets
under operating leases; and $47 million of other exit costs.

$104 million primarily relating to restructuring certain activities outside of North America, which
included $68 million associated with assets to be divested and $36 million of facility closure costs.

$68 million of severance associated with streamlining its operations and exiting certain activities.

Certain of Schlumberger’s defined benefit pension plans offered former Schlumberger employees, who
had not yet commenced receiving their pension benefits, an opportunity to receive a lump sum payout of
their vested pension benefit which resulted in Schlumberger recording a pension settlement charge of
$37 million. See Note 16 – Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans for further details.

Schlumberger repurchased the remaining $416 million of its 3.00% Senior Notes due 2020; $126
million of its 4.50% Senior Notes due 2021; $500 million of its 4.20% Senior Notes due 2021; and $106
million of its 3.60% Senior Notes due 2022. These transactions resulted in a $22 million charge.

On October 1, 2019, Schlumberger and Rockwell completed the formation of Sensia, a joint venture that
is the oil and gas industry’s first digitally enabled integrated automation solutions provider. Rockwell
Automation owns 53% of the joint venture and Schlumberger owns 47%. In connection with this
transaction, Schlumberger received a cash payment of $238 million. Schlumberger will account for its
investment under the equity method of accounting. Schlumberger recorded a $247 million gain as a
result of the deconsolidation of certain of its businesses in connection with the formation of the joint
venture. This gain, which is equal to the sum of the $238 million of cash proceeds received and the fair
value of Schlumberger’s retained noncontrolling investment in the businesses it contributed less the
carrying amount of the assets and liabilities of such businesses at the time of the closing, is classified as
Gains on sale of businesses in the Consolidated Statement of Income (Loss).

The fair value of certain of the assets impaired during 2020 and 2019 was estimated based on the present value of
projected future cash flows that the underlying assets are expected to generate. Such estimates included
unobservable inputs that required significant judgment.

At December 31, 2021, Schlumberger had committed credit facility agreements with commercial banks
aggregating $5.75 billion, all of which was available and unused. These committed facilities support commercial
paper programs in the United States and Europe, of which $2.75 billion matures in February 2023, $2.0 billion
matures in February 2025 and $1.0 billion matures in July 2026. Schlumberger also has a €750 million three-year
committed revolving credit facility that matures in June 2024. At December 31, 2021, no amounts had been
drawn under this facility. Interest rates and other terms of borrowing under these lines of credit vary by facility.

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 these obligations for longer than one year. There were no borrowings under the commercial paper
programs at December 31, 2021. At December 31, 2020, borrowings under the commercial paper programs were
$0.4 billion, all of which was classified in Long-term Debt in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Long-term Debt as of December 31, 2021 is due as follows: $1.6 billion in 2023, $1.4 billion in 2024, $1.4
billion in 2025, $1.8 billion in 2026, $1.0 billion in 2027, $1.5 billion in 2028 and $4.6 billion thereafter.

The fair value of Schlumberger’s Long-term Debt at December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was $13.9
billion and $17.3 billion, respectively, and was estimated based on quoted market prices.

Schlumberger Limited fully and unconditionally guarantees the securities issued by certain of its subsidiaries,
including securities issued by Schlumberger Investment SA and Schlumberger Finance Canada Ltd., both
wholly-owned subsidiaries of Schlumberger Limited.

9. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

As a multinational company, Schlumberger conducts its business in over 120 countries. Schlumberger’s
functional currency is primarily the US dollar. Approximately 70% of Schlumberger’s revenues in 2021 were
denominated in US dollars. However, outside the United States, a significant portion of Schlumberger’s expenses
is incurred in foreign currencies. Therefore, when the US dollar weakens (strengthens) in relation to the foreign
currencies of the countries in which Schlumberger conducts business, the US dollar-reported expenses will
increase (decrease).

Schlumberger is exposed to risks on future cash flows to the extent that the local currency is not the functional
currency and expenses denominated in local currency are not equal
to revenues denominated in local
currency. Schlumberger 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 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.

Schlumberger is also exposed to risks on future cash flows relating to certain of its fixed rate debt denominated
in currencies other than the functional currency. Schlumberger uses cross-currency swaps to provide a hedge
against these cash flow risks. Included in Other Assets was $66 million at December 31, 2021 ($427 million at
December 31, 2020) and included in Other Liabilities was $78 million at December 31, 2021 ($13 million at
December 31, 2020) relating to the fair value of outstanding cross-currency swap derivatives. The fair value was
determined using a model with inputs that are observable in the market or can be derived or collaborated by
observable data.

During 2019, a US-dollar functional currency subsidiary of Schlumberger issued €1.5 billion of Euro-
denominated debt. Schlumberger entered into cross-currency swaps for an aggregate notional amount of €1.5
billion in order to hedge changes in the fair value of its €0.5 billion 0.00% Notes due 2024, €0.5 billion 0.25%
Notes due 2027 and €0.5 billion 0.50% Notes due 2031. These cross-currency swaps effectively convert the
Euro-denominated notes to US-dollar denominated debt with fixed annual interest rates of 2.29%, 2.51% and
2.76%, respectively.

During 2020, a US-dollar functional currency subsidiary of Schlumberger issued €0.8 billion of Euro-
denominated debt. Schlumberger entered into cross-currency swaps for an aggregate notional amount of €0.8
billion in order to hedge changes in the fair value of its €0.4 billion of 0.25% Notes due 2027 and €0.4 billion of
0.50% Notes due 2031. These cross-currency swaps effectively convert the Euro-denominated notes to US-dollar
denominated debt with fixed annual interest rates of 1.87% and 2.20%, respectively.

During 2020, a US-dollar functional currency subsidiary of Schlumberger issued €2.0 billion of Euro-
denominated debt. Schlumberger entered into cross-currency swaps for an aggregate notional amount of €2.0
billion in order to hedge changes in the fair value of its €1.0 billion of 1.375% Guaranteed Notes due 2026 and
€1.0 billion of 2.00% Guaranteed Notes due 2032. These cross-currency swaps effectively convert the swapped
portion of the Euro-denominated notes to US-dollar denominated debt with fixed annual interest rates of 2.77%
and 3.49%, respectively.

During 2020, a Canadian dollar functional currency subsidiary of Schlumberger issued $0.5 billion of US dollar
denominated debt. Schlumberger entered into cross-currency swaps for an aggregate notional amount of $0.5
billion in order to hedge changes in the fair value of its $0.5 billion 1.40% Senior Notes due 2025. These cross-
currency swaps effectively convert the US dollar notes to Canadian dollar denominated debt with a fixed annual
interest rate of 1.73%.

Schlumberger is exposed to changes in the fair value of assets and liabilities 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 is recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and changes in
the fair value are recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income (Loss), as are changes in the fair value of
the hedged item. Transaction losses of $23 million in 2021 and $21 million in 2020 and transaction gains of $2
million in 2019 were recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income (Loss) net of related hedging activities.

During the fourth quarter of 2021, Schlumberger entered into derivative contracts that hedge the price of oil
relating to approximately 75% of the projected 2022 oil production of one of its APS projects. These contracts
are accounted for as cash flow hedges, with the 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 will be reclassified to earnings in the same period or periods that the hedged item is
recognized in earnings. No amounts were recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income (Loss) relating to
these hedging activities during 2021.

At December 31, 2021, contracts were outstanding for the US dollar equivalent of $7.7 billion in various foreign
currencies, of which $6.0 billion relates to hedges of debt denominated in currencies other than the functional
currency.

Other than the previously mentioned cross-currency swaps, the fair value of the other outstanding derivatives was
not material at December 31, 2021 and 2020.

The effect of derivative instruments designated as hedges and those not designated as hedges on the Consolidated
Statement of Income (Loss) was as follows:

11. Stock-based Compensation Plans

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

Stock Options

Key employees may be granted stock options under Schlumberger stock option plans. 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 10
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:

Dividend yield . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Stock options outstanding and stock options exercisable as of December 31, 2021 had no intrinsic value.

Restricted Stock

Schlumberger grants performance share units to certain key employees. The number of shares earned is
determined at the end of each performance period based on Schlumberger’s achievement of certain predefined
targets as described in the underlying performance share unit agreement. In the event Schlumberger exceeds the
predefined target, shares for up to a maximum of 250% of the target award may be awarded. In the event
Schlumberger falls below the predefined target, a reduced number of shares may be awarded. If Schlumberger
falls below the threshold award performance level, no shares will be awarded. As of December 31, 2021,
4.9 million performance share units were outstanding assuming the achievement of 100% of target.

60

61

All other restricted stock awards generally vest at the end of three years or vest ratably in equal tranches over a
three-year period.

Restricted stock awards do not pay dividends or have voting rights prior to vesting. Accordingly, the fair value of
a restricted stock award is generally 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.

At December 31, 2021, there was $277 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested
stock-based compensation arrangements, of which $171 million is expected to be recognized in 2022, $90
million in 2023, $15 million in 2024, and $1 million in 2025.

As of December 31, 2021, approximately 44 million shares of Schlumberger common stock were available for
future grants under Schlumberger’s stock-based compensation programs.

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:

Dividend yield . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

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.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of liabilities associated with uncertain tax positions for the
years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 is as follows:

Operating lease assets of $0.6 billion and $0.7 billion as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, were
included in Other Assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Operating lease liabilities as of December 31, 2020
were $1.0 billion, of which $0.2 billion was classified in Accounts payable and accrued liabilities and $0.8
billion was classified in Other Liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

The weighted-average remaining lease term as of December 31, 2021 was 10 years. The weighted-average
discount rate used to determine the operating lease liability as of December 31, 2021 was 3.1%.

14. Contingencies

Schlumberger is 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.

16. Pension and Other Postretirement 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 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:

During 2019, certain of Schlumberger’s deferred benefit pension plans offered former Schlumberger employees,
who had not yet commenced receiving their pension benefits, an opportunity to receive a lump sum payout of
their vested pension benefit. Schlumberger’s pension plans paid $257 million from pension plan assets to those
who accepted this offer, thereby reducing its pension benefit obligations. These transactions resulted in a non-
cash pension settlement charge of $37 million, representing the immediate recognition of the related deferred
actuarial losses in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss, in the fourth quarter of 2019. See Note 3 –Charges
and Credits.

The weighted-average assumed discount rate and compensation increases used to determine the projected benefit
obligations for the US and International plans were as follows:

Asset performance is monitored frequently with an overall expectation that plan assets will meet or exceed the
weighted index of its target asset allocation and component benchmark over rolling five-year periods.

The expected 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, 2021 and 2020, by asset category, is
presented below and was determined based on valuation techniques categorized as follows:

•

•

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.

The asset / (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
(“ABO”) represents the actuarial present value of benefits based on employee service and compensation but does
not include an assumption about future compensation levels.

Actuarial gains arising during 2021 and actuarial losses arising during 2020 were primarily attributable to
changes in the discount rate used to determine the PBO.

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 does not expect to make any material contributions to its
postretirement benefit plans in 2022.

Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions

Schlumberger provides healthcare benefits to certain former US employees who have retired.

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:

Due to the actions taken by Schlumberger to reduce its global workforce during 2020, Schlumberger experienced
a significant reduction in the expected aggregate years of future service of its employees in its US postretirement
medical plan. Accordingly, Schlumberger recorded a curtailment gain of $69 million during the second quarter of
2020 relating to this plan. The curtailment gain includes recognition of the decrease in the benefit obligation as
well as a portion of the previously unrecognized prior service credit, reflecting the reduction in expected years of
future service. As a result of the curtailment, Schlumberger performed a remeasurement of the plan, which had
an immaterial impact. This gain was classified in Impairments & other in the Consolidated Statement of Income
(Loss). See Note 3 – Charges and Credits.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

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 (the
“Exchange Act”). 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, 2021. 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, 2021, 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, 2021 has been
audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their
report which appears herein.

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
of Schlumberger Limited

Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Schlumberger Limited and its subsidiaries (the
“Company”) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the related consolidated statements of income (loss),
comprehensive income (loss), stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2021,
including the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial
statements”). We also have audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31,
2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee
of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021 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, 2021, based on criteria established
in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.

Basis for Opinions

The Company’s management is responsible for these consolidated 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 the Company’s consolidated financial statements and on
the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm
registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to
be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the
applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are
free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial
reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material
misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures
that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts
and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of
the consolidated financial statements. 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.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

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

80

81

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.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the
consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee
and that (i) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and
(ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit
matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we
are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit
matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Uncertain Tax Positions

As described in Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s tax filings are subject to regular
audit by the tax authorities, and those 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.

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to uncertain tax positions
is a critical audit matter are the significant judgment applied by management in determining these liabilities
including a high degree of estimation uncertainty due to the uncertain and complex application of tax regulations,
which in turn led to a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures to
evaluate management’s estimates.

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming
our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness
of controls relating to the identification and recognition of uncertain tax positions. These procedures also
included, among others (i) evaluating management’s process for determining the estimated liabilities for
uncertain tax positions, (ii) testing the completeness and reasonableness of uncertain tax positions recorded in the
consolidated financial statements, and (iii) evaluating assessments received from the relevant tax authorities.
Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in evaluating the reasonableness of
assumptions used by management, including management’s assessment of whether tax positions are more-likely-
than-not of being sustained.

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 Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this
evaluation, the CEO and the CFO have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report,
Schlumberger’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that
information required to be disclosed in the reports that Schlumberger files or submits under the Exchange Act is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange
Commission’s rules and forms. Schlumberger’s disclosure controls and procedures include controls and
procedures designed 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 2021 that has materially affected, or is
reasonably likely to materially affect, Schlumberger’s internal control over financial reporting.

Item 9B. Other Information.

In 2013, Schlumberger completed the wind-down of its service operations in Iran. Prior to this, certain non-US
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 in 2021 consisted of payments of
taxes and other typical governmental charges. Certain non-US subsidiaries of Schlumberger 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-US subsidiaries of Schlumberger for
services rendered in Iran prior to the wind-down and for the maintenance of such amounts previously received.
One non-US subsidiary also maintained an account at Tejarat for payment of local expenses such as taxes.
Schlumberger anticipates that it will discontinue dealings with Saderat and Tejarat following the receipt of all
amounts owed to Schlumberger for prior services rendered in Iran.

Item 9C. Disclosure Regarding Foreign Jurisdictions that Prevent Inspections.

None.
