Overview Chief Executive Officer’s introduction

Positioned for  
outperformance

Dear SLB stakeholder,

2022 was a pivotal year for our 
company and the global energy 
industry. The industry is undergoing 
a significant renaissance, driven 
by strong market fundamentals, 
urgency around energy security, 
and the growing imperatives of 
digitization and decarbonization.  
At the same time, we must balance 
the growing demand for energy 
with the need to rapidly reduce 
emissions in support of a 
net-zero future. 

This has given us the opportunity to 
redefine who we are. Our company 
has always had a commitment to 
address the most difficult challenges 
in our industry and to continue 
pushing the limits of innovation. 
But given the need to drive 
energy security, affordability and 
sustainability, we need to transform 
and evolve. 

This is why we announced our new 
identity, SLB, which cements our 
purpose as a global technology 

company focused on driving energy 
innovation for a balanced planet. 
It underscores our commitment to 
moving farther, faster in facilitating 
the world’s energy needs today—and 
shaping the energy systems of the 
future. And it puts our commitment 
to sustainability and our net zero 
commitments right at the heart of 
who we are.

To support this ambition, we have 
created a strategic roadmap to drive 
our three engines of growth: Core 
Oil and Gas, Digital, and New Energy. 
Our Core business is positioned to 
seize the ongoing upcycle, leveraging 
our global reach, technology 
differentiation, and customer intimacy 
to drive innovation. We are scaling 
our Digital strategy across the market 
and using our cloud technology 
to enhance efficiency. And we are 
seeding investments in New Energy to 
innovate at scale and build a diverse 
portfolio of businesses suited for 
different energy transition scenarios 
and time horizons.

With this strategy in place, we are 
positioned for both growth and 
returns, and we remain committed 
to achieving double-digit EBITDA, 
CAGR, ROCE, and FCF Margin 
through 2025. 

As we move forward on the path 
toward the energy transition, we do 
so with a clear roadmap for how we 
will execute our strategy. 2022 was 
a benchmark year as we put that 
strategy and vision in motion, and 
we are confident that we will 
continue to drive higher value 
for our customers, communities, 
shareholders and employees 
through 2023 and beyond.

SLB 2022 Annual ReportOverview Market trends

Unique  
  opportunities

The fundamentals for the energy industry 
strengthened over the course of 2022.

Constructive market fundamentals, 
energy security, and the global 
urgency to accelerate energy 
transition will support increased 
investment in both lower-carbon oil 
and gas production and clean energy 
development for years to come. 

»

Against the backdrop of the 
energy crisis, constrained spare 
global capacity, and geopolitics, 
including the conflict in Ukraine 
and dislocation of supply flows 
from Russia, the need for increased 
investment has intensified. 
These dynamics have sparked a 
supply-led upcycle that, coupled 
with long-term demand trends, will 
likely extend well beyond the middle 
of this decade.

E&P operators are deploying capital 
in oil and gas to sustain or increase 
production, while at the same time 
adopting technologies and allocating 
capital to decarbonize their oil and 
gas operations. The total investment 
in energy transition has more than 
doubled over the past five years and, 
according to the International Energy 
Agency, is expected to more than 
double again by 2030.

Overview Market trends continued

 Core

 Digital

 New Energy

In 2022, we experienced the early 
stages of a very distinctive growth 
cycle characterized by supply-led 
investment decisions.  

The quest for capital efficiency, 
productivity of asset teams, and 
cycle time reduction requires digital 
transformation across the industry.

North America led the way with 
exceptionally strong growth and 
margin expansion, which should 
continue in 2023. In International and 
Offshore, activity began to accelerate 
in the second half of the year and is 
poised for strong growth in 2023 and 
beyond. This will be led by the Middle 
East, where we expect record levels of 
upstream investment as the region’s 
oil production capacity increases 
by up to four million barrels per day 
by 2030. Offshore activity, in both 
shallow and deep water, is rebounding 
to levels expected to far exceed pre-
pandemic levels. 

Both of these represent long-cycle 
investments that will span multiple 
years and outlast short-term demand 
volatility as markets rebalance. 
And both are closely aligned with 
SLB’s Core and will enable us to 
drive premium performance and 
technology adoption.

6

Customer adoption continues to gain 
momentum, enhancing access and 
use of data, improving and creating 
new workflows, and guiding decisions 
that boost performance in the field. 
Digital integration will only accelerate 
as our customers and partners 
continue to integrate AI and machine 
learning to better understand and 
leverage operations data and manage 
carbon emissions. 

This will result in a fast-growing digital 
market throughout the decade as the 
industry harnesses the power of digital 
technology to unlock performance 
and drive decarbonization.

SLB is already recognized as 
the market leader in digital 
technology with Delfi*, the industry’s 
first integrated cloud platform 
deployable at scale in a secure and 
open environment. We will continue to 
accelerate adoption and growth, both 
in our Core business and in new and 
evolving markets.

The energy transition is the largest 
and most significant industrial 
challenge ever attempted. 

Current demographic and 
consumption patterns anticipate 
a 20 percent increase in global 
demand for energy by 2050. At the 
same time, mitigating the effects of 
climate change will necessitate an 
overhaul of the world’s energy system 
to achieve net-zero emissions over 
that same timeframe. 

The total investment in energy 
transition has more than doubled 
over the past five years and is 
expected to more than double again 
by 2030. This is driven by energy 
security and affordability; stronger 
carbon pricing mechanisms; and 
targeted incentives in Europe, the 
United States, and others. 

SLB is building a broad, diverse 
portfolio across New Energy 
sectors to address an estimated 
total market opportunity in excess 
of $700 billion by the next decade.

Through Digital we will completely 
redefine the future of energy and 
the future of SLB.

Digital is set to make a material impact 
on our industry by reducing cycle 
times and risk, accelerating returns, 
and increasing productivity while 
lowering costs and emissions. 
Our long-established installed 
software base, unrivaled customer 
intimacy, and unique partnerships 
create a solid foundation for success. 

Our Delfi platform, the industry’s 
first integrated cloud platform, is 
primed for widespread adoption 
and growth in our core business

from established software 
applications to our digital platform. 
Customers will gain access to 
new and exciting resources, from 
data and collaboration tools from 
our cloud partners to our fully 
interconnected industry-leading 
simulators. Throughout this transition, 
they will continue to look to us for key 
services—such as data migration, 
workflow redesign, and transition—
that are critical to their own digital 
journeys.

Through a combination of internal 
R&D and innovation, focused M&A, 
and partnerships, SLB is building 
a technology offering in New 
Energy that’s unlike any other. 

Our strategy for creating and scaling 
a diversified portfolio of businesses 
focused on decarbonization 
and clean energy technology 
will be key to the future. We are 
delivering technology solutions 
that address industrial and power 
generation emissions, which 
account for about half of global 
emissions, while ensuring we meet 
the world’s need for accessible, 
reliable, and affordable energy.

Our New Energy business operates 
based on three key principles: 
impact and materiality, adjacency, 
and technology-led business 
models. We prioritize business 
opportunities based on market 
size and growth, emissions impact, 
and potential business size and 
we focus on opportunities that 
best leverage SLB’s capabilities 
and experience, global reach, and 
customer base, to enable disruptive 
new solutions or drive economics.

SLB 2022 Annual Report Our sustainable 
 energy future

Now more than ever,  
sustainability is non-negotiable. 

Upstream, midstream, and 
downstream operations make up 
around 5.2 GTCO2e—approximately 
10 percent of global carbon 
emissions. At SLB, we welcome the 
critical role we play in decarbonizing 
oil and gas while exploring pathways 
to meet the growing energy demand. 

As a symbol of our commitment to 
the challenge ahead, we’ve based 
our new identity on the carbon budget 
curve—the maximum net global CO2 
emissions permissible to limit global 
warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius.

We are proud of the ambitious, 
science-based targets we 
committed to in 2021 to reach 
net-zero emissions by 2050, which 
include our Scope 3 emissions. 

In 2022, we made significant 
advances with the launch of SLB End-
to-end Emissions Solutions (SEES) 
and we’re taking bold steps in climate 
action, evolving our portfolio, making 
new investments, and empowering 
local communities to go further for a 
balanced planet. In the past year, SLB 
remained one of the highest-ranked 
companies in the energy industry 
across key environmental, social, and 
governance ratings agencies.

Powerful partnerships

Strategic partners will help SLB’s 
emission reduction efforts to reach 
new heights. One example of this is 
our collaboration with Saudi Aramco 
to develop a digital platform for 
sustainability solutions in hard-to-

CCUS market, which is expected to 
grow to more than $50 billion per 
year by 2030, and over $250 billion 
by 2040. We have been in the CCUS 
business for more than three decades 
and, as of the end of 2022, are 
actively involved in 22 major CCUS 
projects globally, representing  
175 Mtpa in abatable emissions,  
and providing consulting or other 
services to more than 50 other  
early-stage projects.

In 2022, we entered a strategic 
collaboration with Linde on 
CCUS projects to accelerate 
decarbonization solutions across 
industrial and energy sectors.  
We also joined with RTI International 
to accelerate the industrialization and 
scale-up of innovative non-aqueous

solvent CO2 capture technology, an 
exciting solution with the potential  
to address a broad range of emissions 
streams, with applications covering 
more than 80 percent of the  
capture market.

Geothermal and geoenergy

The global economic environment 
and the inherent stability of 
geothermal energy as baseload 
renewable power have reinvigorated 
the geothermal market. Mastery of 
the subsurface is a key SLB strength 
and today our GeothermEx offering 
is the world’s leading geothermal 
consultancy. For more than 50 years, 
it has assessed resources across 
the globe and has been involved in 
80 percent of all geothermal fields 
currently operating. 

In November, we announced a 
collaboration with Oman’s Ministry of 
Energy and Minerals and the Oman 
Investment Authority in building 
a national strategy to develop the 
potential of Oman’s geothermal 
resources. 

Founded through innovation as an 
internal startup, our Celsius Energy 
business leverages our inherent

a diversified portfolio of businesses 
focused on decarbonization and clean 
energy technology will be key to the 
company’s future.“

President, New Energy

subsurface and engineering 
capabilities to provide a solution to 
efficiently heat and cool large-scale 
facilities, reducing building emissions 
by up to 90 percent. 

Celsius Energy was recently awarded 
the largest geoenergy project in 
France—one of the top 10 in Europe—
and has developed a significant 
pipeline of projects. 

Critical minerals

Critical minerals are essential to a 
range of technologies driving energy 
transition. Lithium is under the greatest 
supply and demand pressure, and 
SLB’s initial focus is on brine, one of 
the two resources from which lithium 
is produced. 

Our Neolith Energy solution integrates 
exciting processing technologies 
for lithium extraction, concentration, 
and conversion that efficiently and 
sustainably enables production of 
battery-grade lithium products.  
Our pilot project in Nevada, 
announced in 2021 and anticipated 
to be operational by the second 
quarter of 2023, is expected to 
make huge strides in sustainable 
operations, using just 15 percent of 
the water and seven percent of the 
land, and reducing emissions by 60 
to 80 percent compared to traditional 
lithium extraction methods.

Strategic performance New Energy continued

between SLB, the French 
Alternative Energies and Atomic 
Energy Commission (CEA) and 
other partners, has six pilot projects 
underway in multiple high-emissions 
industries, including petrochemicals, 
cement, and steel, for its electricity-
to-hydrogen conversion technology.

SLB’s New Energy business 
has secured an investment in ZEG 
Power to scale up the ZEG ICC™ 
technology for clean hydrogen 
production from hydrocarbon gas. 

The ZEG ICC technology is based on 
sorbent enhanced reforming and was 
originally developed at the Institute for 
Energy Technology (IFE) in Norway. 
The first commercial ZEG plant was 
installed in late 2022 and will go into 
operation in 2023 at CCB Energy Park 
at Kollsnes, Norway, adjacent to 
the planned Northern Lights 
CO2 storage infrastructure.

Stationary energy storage

Hydrogen

As the penetration of renewable 
energy resources increases, so does 
the need for storage to ensure the 
efficiency of assets and the reliability 
of electricity systems. We have made 
investments in the rapidly growing 
market for large-scale, long-duration 
energy storage. These include 
Enervenue, a startup that delivers 
nickel hydrogen, non-lithium based, 
economic, safe battery technology, 
and Raygen, which is developing 
longer-duration thermal energy 
storage projects for large-scale 
solar assets. 

Hydrogen may be our greatest long-
term opportunity to decarbonize 
industrial sectors globally. Demand for 
low-carbon hydrogen is growing fast, 
supported by large public investment 
programs, targets, and incentives 
around the world.

Within the hydrogen ecosystem, SLB 
is developing production technology 
that creates low-carbon hydrogen 
from electricity or gas in the most 
economic and sustainable ways.

SLB 2022 Annual ReportStrategic performance Global deployment platform

Unmatched 
scale and 
breadth

Our global scale is core to who 
we are. With a workforce of nearly 
100,000, SLB serves more than 
2,000 active customers across 
more than 100 countries. This 
footprint fueled our success in 
2022 and has positioned us for 
continued outperformance in all 
operating areas moving forward. 

Global power, local solutions

SLB’s fit-for-basin technology 
solutions bring global engineering 
capabilities to the local level with 
custom solutions for each operating 
area. This expertise generates a 
competitive advantage and drives 
higher value for our customers. 

In the world’s largest gas field in Qatar, 
we developed a custom logging-
while-drilling tool. It saves Qatar 
Gas several days of rig time per well– 
contributing tens of millions in savings. 
This type of solution is only possible 

through the unique combination of 
our deep global domain knowledge 
and our understanding of the local 
reservoir challenge. 

And we’re just getting started. 
For example, in the US land market, 
technology access for the directional 
drilling market has grown steadily 
over the last three years, and today 
it’s almost equivalent in size to our 
traditional service business, effectively 
doubling our share of this highly 
fragmented marketplace.

At SLB, customer relationships 
run deep. With more than 60 
manufacturing sites and a robust 
supply chain network, we’ve 
been manufacturing for decades 
in Malaysia, UAE, Saudi Arabia, 
Brazil, and many other non-
traditional manufacturing centers. 
These relationships unlock new 
opportunities and value, allowing 
us to invest in the communities 
where we live and work. 

This is evident in our commitment to 
In Country Value programs around 
the world. These programs help us 
build local talent where our customers 
are and contribute to regional energy 
security, GDP diversification, and 
supply chain integration.

resilient growth opportunities in gas, offshore, digital and

Today, the world faces the trilemma of providing secure and affordable energy to meet growing
demand, while rapidly decarbonizing for a sustainable future. With nearly a century of market and
technology leadership, SLB is well positioned to be a leader in providing solutions to address this
trilemma. The evolving marketplace will require bold new technologies and ideas, digital transformation
and a deep commitment to sustainability. With a balanced transition in mind, we are focused on three
engines of growth: Core, Digital and New Energy.

Core

Consisting of Reservoir Performance, WeIl Construction and Production Systems, Core remains the
Company’s largest engine of growth. Building on decades of technology advancement, we will continue
innovating new products, services and technologies that make the exploration, development and
production of oil and gas assets cleaner, more resilient, and more efficient, with lower carbon and less
impact on the environment.

We will continue to build on our fit-for-basin approach and technology access initiatives, developing
bespoke and custom technology tailored to the regions and environments in which we operate. This
strategy will allow us to address the rapid evolution of our industry into more regional markets, each
with distinct resource plays and economics.

With the continued growth of digitally enabled technologies that improve efficiency and performance,
including our Transition Technologies™ portfolio (which is further described below) and our SLB End-
to-End Emissions Solution (SEES) methane elimination business, the Company will provide solutions
that enable customers to increase production from their reserves at a competitive cost and low carbon
intensity per barrel equivalent.

Digital

Digital capabilities continue to grow throughout the energy industry as a key enabler to manage the
complex systems required to meet current energy demands and to harness the promise of a lower
carbon future. SLB is uniquely positioned to support customers on their digital journeys by managing
data migration, workflow redesign and transition to the cloud.

SLB’s customers have access to leading digital products and services that help to meet
their
sustainability goals by driving transparency, better measurement, more effective planning and more
impactful and reliable outcomes. To continue elevating customer offerings, we will accelerate the
adoption of our proprietary cloud offering DELFI, enabling enterprise data management, delivering
autonomous operations, and innovating through domain-driven artificial intelligence.

As customers transition from our established software applications to our DELFI digital platform, they
will shift from a user-based license model to software-as-a-service (SaaS) subscriptions. This will
enable them to evolve from legacy infrastructure and deliver new levels of value creation, with access
to key resources such as storage and computing from our cloud partners and access to our industry-
leading simulators.

New Energy

New Energy offers a significant opportunity to use our experience and scale to drive innovation for a
low-carbon economy spanning many industries. We are building a broad, diverse portfolio across New
Energy sectors, selected for their materiality and adjacency to existing SLB market strengths and our
ability to offer differentiated technology.

Our New Energy portfolio builds on three fundamental SLB strengths: our unique subsurface domain
expertise, applicable beyond oil and gas; our differentiated track record for
innovation and
industrialization; and our ability to deploy at scale in any region of the world with local knowledge and
talent.

SLB will continue forging partnerships across various industries to focus on five emerging
technologies: carbon solutions, hydrogen, geothermal and geoenergy, stationary energy storage, and
critical minerals. Our ambition is to seed technology capabilities in each of these domains and grow
throughout the decade, ultimately scaling our New Energy offering into the Company’s fastest growing
and largest division.

Carbon Solutions: Carbon capture, utilization, and sequestration (“CCUS”)
to
advancing decarbonization and achieving the goals of the Paris Agreement on climate change.
With industry-leading reservoir modeling capabilities, SLB has been in the CCUS business for
more than three decades. The Company is actively progressing CCUS technologies and
business models to enable widespread adoption and is exploring collaborations in facility
design, building, and operations and going beyond subsurface characterization and well
construction to include capture technology, project economics,
technology selection, and
permitting.

is critical

Hydrogen as an Energy Carrier: SLB is investing in hydrogen generation technologies. One
such investment is Genvia, a unique private-public partnership that combines SLB’s expertise
and experience with that of the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission
(“CEA”) and partners. Genvia aims to deliver the most efficient and cost-effective technology
for producing clean hydrogen—a versatile source of energy and key component of the energy
transition.

(cid:129) Geothermal and Geoenergy: Geothermal power leverages the heat of the earth to generate
electricity by tapping into hot water and steam zones that are continuously recharged, both

naturally and by heat injection from sources such as power plant by-products. With decades of
expertise in the sector, Geothermex, an SLB company, provides the full spectrum of deep
geothermal resource development services—from exploration and drilling to analysis, resource
modeling and management, financial modeling, and operational support. Celsius Energy is a
New Energy venture that uses shallow geoenergy to provide heating and cooling solutions for
new or existing construction and leverages SLB’s extensive knowledge of subsurface behavior,
operational automation technology, and science expertise.

Stationary Energy Storage: Stationary energy storage is a key enabler to make variable
the world’s electricity
renewable energy sources (solar or wind) a larger component of
systems, via energy shifting—enabling power to be delivered in the right place, at the right
time, to meet demand. As renewables penetration increases, so does the need for additional
storage to ensure the efficiency of the renewable assets and reliability of electricity systems.
Large-scale, long-duration energy storage is key, and this market is growing rapidly. SLB is
investing in storage technologies including EnerVenue, a start-up that delivers nickel-
hydrogen, non-lithium based, economic, safe battery technology that
targets the 10-hour
storage market.

Critical Minerals: SLB is applying its knowledge of extraction technologies and processing to
the location and sources of critical minerals that will be required to support alternative energy
sources. An example of
this is our NeoLith Energy technology venture, which uses a
differentiated direct lithium extraction process to produce high-purity, battery-grade lithium
material while reducing the production time from over a year to just weeks. This unique
process is in sharp contrast to conventional evaporative methods of extracting lithium, with
significantly reduced water consumption and physical footprint.

Sustainability

SLB’s emissions reduction strategy is at the center of our identity and vision, and our commitment to a
sustainable future is underscored by bold science-backed targets aligned with the Paris Agreement. In
2021, SLB became the first company in the energy services industry to commit to a 2050 net-zero
greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions target including all three emission scopes. By setting targets
based on SLB’s total 2019 baseline GHG footprint—inclusive of Scope 3 emissions (which accounted
for approximately 95% of SLB’s baseline)—and not
its Scope 1 and 2 footprint, SLB’s
comprehensive emissions reduction roadmap addressees the entire oil and gas value chain.

just

SLB’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 SLB achieving the 2050 net-zero target: reducing operational
emissions, reducing customer emissions that occur while using SLB technology, and taking carbon-
negative actions of sufficient scale to offset any residual operating and technology emissions that the
Company may have in 2050. SLB’s Scope 1 and 2 emissions primarily come from fuel use and
electricity consumption: Scope 3 emissions are indirect, such as emissions from customers’ use of SLB
technology and emissions from our use of third-party goods and services.

In tandem with our 2050 net-zero commitment, SLB introduced a portfolio of Transition Technologies in
2021. This portfolio includes a select group of products and services that quantifiably reduce our
customers’ GHG emissions footprint, while continuing to drive high performance, reliability and
efficiency. This portfolio will be supported by an industry-leading impact quantification framework and is
set to grow as sustainability is further embedded in the Company’s research and development process.

8

While there is an ambitious path ahead, we are cementing our position as a sustainability leader today.
SLB continues to be one of
the highest-ranked companies in the energy industry across key
environmental, social, and governance ratings agencies as of December 31, 2022. This recognition
confirms the strategy we have in place and our commitment to leading change in the industry.

Human Capital

As a leading global technology company, with a workforce consisting of approximately 99,000 people
in more than 100 countries, one of SLB’s greatest strengths is the diversity of our people. We believe
that our ability to attract, develop, motivate, and retain a highly competent and diverse workforce has
been paramount
to our success for many decades. We recognize that cultivating diversity and
promoting inclusion are essential to attracting the best talent from around the world and enabling
creativity and innovation to drive business success.

Energy transition and changing geopolitics are increasingly impacting our people and customers. SLB
is competitively well-positioned from both a people and technology perspective to manage these
factors and capture the opportunity that it represents for SLB and the countries where we work.

Our national and cultural diversity is based in our philosophy to recruit and develop people from the
communities where we work. As a result, we maintain a workforce nationality mix aligned to the
revenue derived from the countries in which we work, as reflected in the charts below. Our long-
standing commitment to national and cultural diversity, which is seen throughout every layer of SLB,
fosters a culture that is global in outlook, yet local in practice.

In addition to national and cultural diversity, gender balance is an important part of our diversity, equity,
and inclusion strategy. We are committed to leading our industry in gender diversity, and we are on
track to reach our interim milestone of having women represent 25% of our salaried employees by
2025. Our next milestone is for women to comprise 30% of our salaried employees by 2030.

SLB is proud to provide a career platform that enables a culture of lifelong learning for all employees
and is committed to offering borderless careers and making career decisions based on merit. SLB’s
borderless career philosophy is powered by its talent and mobility practices, which offer employees
multiple, flexible career paths to help them acquire the required skills to reach their potential. We
provide continuous growth opportunities through a combination of learning and experience. SLB strives
to identify talent early and to provide opportunities for those employees who demonstrate exceptional
performance and the ability to progress to higher levels within the organization. These opportunities
accelerate career development while fostering an agile workforce and the next generation of business
leaders.

Competition
The principal methods of competition within the energy services industry are technological innovation,
quality of service, and price differentiation. These factors vary geographically and are dependent upon
the different services and products that SLB offers. SLB has numerous competitors, both large and
small.

Intellectual Property
SLB owns or controls the industry’s leading portfolio of intellectual property, including but not limited to

various products and processes, no particular patent or group of patents is material to SLB’s business.

trade secrets, and software tools and applications that,

Seasonality
Seasonal changes in weather and significant weather events can temporarily affect the delivery of
SLB’s products and services. For example, the spring thaw in Canada and other Northern climates and
consequent road restrictions can affect activity levels, while the winter months in the North Sea,
Russia, and China can produce severe weather conditions that can temporarily reduce levels of
activity. In addition, hurricanes and typhoons can disrupt coastal and offshore operations. Furthermore,
customer spending patterns for exploration 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.

Customers
SLB’s primary customers are national oil companies, large integrated oil companies and independent
operators. No single customer exceeded 10% of SLB’s consolidated revenue during each of 2022,
2021 and 2020.

We urge you to consider carefully the risks described below, which discuss the material factors that
make an investment in our securities speculative or risky, as well as in other reports and materials that
we file with the SEC and the other information included or incorporated by reference in this Form 10-K,
any of which could materially adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash
flows. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial
may also materially adversely affect our business, reputation, financial condition, results of operations,
cash flows and prospects.

Business and Operational Risks

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:

economic and business conditions;
the costs of exploring for, producing, and delivering oil and gas;
the ability or willingness of
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 refining capacity;
the level of oil and gas inventories;
access to potential resources;
political and economic uncertainty and geopolitical unrest;
governmental laws, policies, regulations, subsidies, and other actions, 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;
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 reputation,
financial condition, results of
operations and cash flows.

We are a global technology company, and our non-US operations accounted for approximately 84% of

or enforcement of existing laws;
restrictions on the repatriation of income or capital;
currency exchange controls;
inflation; and
currency exchange, rate fluctuations and devaluations.

As an example of a risk resulting from our global operations, in March 2022 we decided to immediately
suspend new investment and technology deployment to our Russia operations. Russia represented
approximately 6% of our worldwide revenue during 2022. The carrying value of our net assets in
Russia was approximately $0.7 billion as of December 31, 2022. This consisted of $0.3 billion of
receivables, $0.3 billion of fixed assets, $0.5 billion of current assets, and $0.4 billion of current
liabilities.

We continue to actively monitor the dynamic situation in Ukraine and applicable laws, sanctions and
trade control restrictions resulting from the conflict. The extent to which our operations and financial
results may be affected by the ongoing conflict in Ukraine will depend on various factors, including the
extent and duration of the conflict; the effects of the conflict on regional and global economic and
further laws, sanctions and trade control restrictions on our
geopolitical conditions;
business, the global economy and global supply chains; and the impact of fluctuations in the exchange
rate of the ruble. Continuation or escalation of the conflict may also aggravate this and other risk

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

Our success depends in part on our ability to provide effective data security protection in connection
with our digital technologies and services. We rely on information technology networks and systems for
internal purposes, including secure data storage, processing, and transmission, as well as in our
interactions with our business associates, such as customers and suppliers. We also 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 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.

Unauthorized access to or modification of, or actions disabling our ability to obtain authorized access
to, our customers’ data, other external data, personal data, or our own data, as a result of a cyber
incident, attack or exploitation of a security vulnerability, could result in significant damage to our
reputation or disruption of the services we provide to our customers. In addition, allegations, reports, or
concerns regarding vulnerabilities affecting our digital products or services could damage our
reputation. This could lead to fewer customers using our digital products and services, which could
have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations or prospects. In
addition,

leadership, this could adversely affect any competitive advantage we hold.

If we are unable to maintain technology

The energy industry is highly competitive and rapidly evolving. 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, competing or new technologies may accelerate the obsolescence of
our products or services and reduce the value of our intellectual property.

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.

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.

Legal and Regulatory Risks

Our operations require us to comply with numerous laws and regulations, violations of which
could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, 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, human rights, import/export controls, currency exchange, bribery and corruption,
immigration, and taxation. These laws and
data privacy and cybersecurity,

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 UK 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 and services 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 applicable laws, including 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 public- or private-sector 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
legislation and regulatory
proposed international agreements and national,
measures to limit GHG emissions. The implementation of
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.

regional, and local

these agreements,

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 our customers, investors and other stakeholders on climate change,
sustainability, and energy transition matters. Actions to address these concerns or negative
perceptions of our industry or fossil fuel products and their relationship to the environment have led to
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.

17

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

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
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.

the enactment of new laws and regulations,

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
continue to have, a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and
cash flows.

The COVID-19 pandemic caused, and any resurgence of
the pandemic could again cause, a
significant reduction in global economic activity, significantly weakening 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;

18

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; and local and regional closures or lockdowns, including
temporary closures of our facilities and the facilities of our customers and suppliers. The extent to
which our operating and financial results will continue to be affected by the pandemic will depend on
various factors beyond our control, such as the continued severity of the pandemic, including any
sustained geographic resurgence; the emergence of new variants and strains of the COVID-19 virus;
and the success of actions to contain or treat the virus. COVID-19, and volatile regional and global
economic conditions stemming from the pandemic, could also aggravate our other risk factors
described in this Form 10-K.

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 aspirations 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 targets are based on empirical data and estimates that reflect the
current best practices for measuring or estimating emissions, but we anticipate that future innovations
in both measurement technologies and estimation methodologies could cause us to revise our baseline
as well as re-calculate progress toward our targets.

including the goals,

Our business faces increased scrutiny from certain investors and other stakeholders related to our
sustainability activities,
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,
technology evolves and customer demands change. 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 events, including extreme weather conditions associated with climate change,
have 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 events in areas where we
operate, which could materially affect our operations and financial results. Extreme weather conditions
such as hurricanes, flooding, landslides, and heat waves 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.

19

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.

K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.

2022 Executive Overview

We delivered strong fourth quarter results and concluded a remarkable year for SLB with great
success. Full-year 2022 revenue of $28.1 billion increased 23% year on year. All Divisions and
geographical areas experienced double digit revenue growth.

2022 was transformative for SLB as we set new safety, operational, and performance benchmarks for
our customers and strengthened our market position both internationally and in North America. We
launched our bold new brand identity, reinforcing our leadership position in energy technology, digital,
and sustainability, and demonstrated our ability to deliver superior earnings in this early phase of a
structural upcycle in energy.

In North America, we seized the growth cycle throughout the year, increased our pretax operating
margins close to 600 basis points (“bps”), and almost doubled our pretax operating income. We
effectively harnessed our refocused portfolio, fit-for-basin technology, and performance differentiation
to gain greater market access and improved pricing, particularly in the drilling markets where we
significantly outperformed rig count growth. Today, we have built one of the highest-quality oilfield
services and equipment businesses in North America through the implementation of our returns-
focused strategy.

In the international markets, after a first half of the year that was impacted by geopolitical conflict and
supply chain bottlenecks, activity began to visibly expand in the second half of the year, resulting in full
year revenue growth of 20% and margin expansion of more than 150 bps. We laid the foundation for
further growth and margin expansion through pricing improvements and a solid pipeline of incremental
contract awards. In the Middle East, SLB is well positioned to be a key beneficiary of this visible market
expansion, and we expect record levels of upstream investment by national oil companies to continue
in the next few years. During the year, we secured a sizeable share of tender awards in the region,
driven by our differentiated performance, fit-for-purpose technology, and best-in-class local content.
Similarly, across offshore basins, we continue to consolidate our advantaged position with new
contract awards, particularly in Latin America and Africa.

Beyond our financial results, we made significant progress in our sustainability initiatives during the
year, including launching several new Transition Technologies to support the decarbonization of oil and
gas. Our Transition Technologies portfolio revenue grew more than 30% year-on-year, and we project
it will cross the $1 billion revenue mark in 2023.

Finally, we initiated increased returns to shareholders, demonstrating confidence in our strategy, our
financial outperformance, and our commitment to superior returns. We increased our dividend by 40%
in April 2022, followed by a further 43% increase in January 2023, and we resumed our share buyback
program in the first quarter of 2023.

22

The fourth quarter affirmed a distinctive new phase in the upcycle with the much-anticipated
acceleration of activity in the Middle East, as revenue in the region increased by double digits. Offshore
activity continued to strengthen, partially offset by seasonality in the Northern Hemisphere. In North
America, the US land rig count remains at robust levels, although the pace of growth is moderating.
Additionally, pricing continues to trend favorably, extending beyond North America and into the
international regions, supported by new technology and very tight equipment and service capacity in
certain markets.

These activity dynamics, improved pricing, and our commercial success—particularly in the Middle
East, offshore, and North American markets—combine to set a very strong foundation for
outperformance in 2023.

We strengthened our balance by reducing our net debt by $1.7 billion to $9.3 billion, its lowest level
since the second quarter of 2016, and repaid approximately $1.7 billion of gross debt during the year.

Looking ahead, we believe the macro backdrop and market fundamentals that underpin a strong multi-
year upcycle for energy remain very compelling in both oil and gas and in low-carbon energy
resources. First, oil and gas demand is forecasted by the International Energy Agency (“IEA”) to grow
by 1.7 million barrels per day in 2023 despite concerns for a potential economic slowdown in certain
regions. In parallel, markets remain very tightly supplied. Second, energy security is prompting a sense
of urgency to make further investments to ensure capacity expansion and diversity of supply. And third,
the secular trends of digital and decarbonization are set to accelerate with significant digital technology
advancements, favorable government policy support, and increased spending on low-carbon initiatives
and resources.

Based on these factors, global upstream spending projections continue to trend positively. Activity
growth is expected to be broad-based, marked by an acceleration in international basins. These
positive activity dynamics will be amplified by higher service pricing and tighter service sector capacity.
The impact of loosening COVID-19 restrictions and an earlier than expected reopening of China could
support further upside potential over 2023.

23

Overall, the combination of these effects will result in a very favorable mix for SLB with significant growth
opportunities in our Core, Digital, and New Energy and we expect another year of very strong growth and
margin expansion.

Fourth-quarter revenue of $7.9 billion increased 5% sequentially. Revenue grew across all Divisions
and geographical areas, with robust year-end sales in digital and particularly strong service activity
offshore and in the Middle East where a significant inflection was witnessed as capacity expansion
projects mobilized.

International revenue of $6.2 billion grew 5% sequentially, driven by continued strengthening activity. This
revenue increase was led by the Middle East & Asia and Latin America, both of which grew 7%. In North
America, revenue of $1.6 billion increased 6% sequentially driven by strong year-end exploration data
licensing sales in the US Gulf of Mexico boosting North America offshore revenue. US land revenue
increased 4% sequentially due to drilling revenue growth, which outperformed the rig count growth.

Fourth-quarter pretax segment operating margin of 19.8% was the highest since 2015.

Digital & Integration

Digital & Integration fourth-quarter revenue of $1.0 billion increased 12% sequentially, propelled by the
increased Asset
year-end exploration data licensing sales in the US Gulf of Mexico and Africa;
Performance Solutions (“APS”) project activity in Ecuador and higher digital sales internationally.

24

Digital & Integration pretax operating margin of 38% expanded 386 bps sequentially, due to improved
profitability in exploration data licensing and digital solutions.

Reservoir Performance

Reservoir Performance revenue of $1.6 billion increased 7% sequentially from new projects and
activity gains internationally, particularly in the Middle East and Africa.

Reservoir Performance pretax operating margin of 18% expanded 146 bps sequentially. Profitability
was boosted by higher offshore and exploration activity, mainly in Africa, and strong development
activity, particularly in US land and Middle East & Asia.

Well Construction

Well Construction revenue of $3.2 billion increased 5% sequentially, outperforming global rig count
growth due to strong activity from new projects and solid pricing improvements internationally,
particularly in the Middle East & Asia and Latin America.

Well Construction pretax operating margin of 21% contracted 50 bps sequentially, as improved
profitability from increasing activity in the Middle East & Asia, North America, and Latin America was
more than offset by the onset of seasonal effects in the Northern Hemisphere.

Production Systems

Production Systems revenue of $2.2 billion increased 3% sequentially primarily due to higher
international sales of artificial lift, completions, and midstream productions systems.

Production Systems pretax operating margin of 11% expanded 32 bps sequentially primarily due to an
improved revenue mix.

Full-year 2022 revenue of $28.1 billion increased 23% year-on-year driven by activity increases
internationally, in North America and across all Divisions.

International revenue increased 20% to $21.9 billion led by Latin America and Europe/CIS/Africa with
revenue growth of 27% and 25%, respectively, while revenue in the Middle East & Asia increased
12%. In North America, revenue increased 34% to $6.0 billion primarily driven by robust onshore
drilling activity; higher sales of production systems; a strong contribution from the APS project in
Canada; and increased exploration data licensing in the US Gulf of Mexico.

Full-year pretax operating margin of 18% increased 316 bps due to improved operating leverage from
higher activity, a favorable activity mix, and an improving pricing environment.

Digital & Integration

Digital & Integration full-year revenue of $3.7 billion increased 13% year on year, primarily driven by
increased APS project activity in Ecuador and Canada and higher exploration data licensing sales in
the US Gulf of Mexico.

Digital & Integration pretax operating margin of 36% expanded 177 bps year on year largely due to
improved profitability in exploration data licensing.

Reservoir Performance

Reservoir Performance full-year revenue of $5.6 billion increased 21% year on year as a result of
strong international activity led by the Middle East & Asia and Latin America on higher activity and
improved pricing.

Reservoir Performance pretax operating margin of 16% increased 177 bps year on year primarily due
to improved profitability in intervention activity.

Well Construction

Well Construction full-year revenue of $11.4 billion grew 31% year on year with strong growth across
all geographical areas led by North America and Latin America, which grew 56% and 53%,
respectively. This growth was driven by higher land and offshore activity along with improved pricing.

Well Construction pretax operating margin of 19% expanded 560 bps year on year driven by the higher
activity and improved pricing.

Production Systems

Production Systems full-year revenue of $7.9 billion increased 17% year on year driven by new
projects and increased sales activity primarily in Europe, Africa, and North America. Double digit
growth was posted in midstream, artificial
lift, surface production systems and subsea production
systems.

Production Systems pretax operating margin of 10% was essentially flat primarily as a result of higher
logistics costs and a less favorable revenue mix.

During 2022, SLB sold 47.8 million of its shares of Liberty and recognized a gain of $325 million.
During 2021, SLB sold 9.5 million of its shares of Liberty and recognized a gain of $28 million.

SLB’s functional currency in Argentina is the US dollar and it uses Argentina’s official exchange rate to
remeasure its Argentine peso-denominated net assets into US dollars. The Central Bank of Argentina
maintains certain currency controls that limit SLB’s ability to access US dollars in Argentina and remit
cash from its Argentine operations. A legal indirect foreign exchange mechanism exists-in the form of
capital market transactions known as Blue Chip Swaps, which effectively results in a parallel US dollar
exchange rate. This parallel rate, which cannot be used as the basis to remeasure SLB’s net monetary
assets in US dollars under US GAAP, was approximately 93% higher than Argentina’s official
exchange rate at December 31, 2022. During the fourth quarter of 2022, SLB entered into Blue Chip
Swap transactions that resulted in a loss of $139 million.

SLB’s peso-denominated net assets in Argentina were approximately $40 million at December 31,
2022 (as compared to approximately $270 million at September 30, 2022), primarily consisting of cash.
If Argentina’s official exchange rate converges with the parallel rate, SLB would incur a loss on its
peso-denominated net assets in Argentina. Additionally, SLB may enter into further Blue Chip Swap
transactions in the future. Argentina represented less than 5% of SLB’s consolidated revenue in 2022.

SLB has an investment in the Arabian Drilling Company (“ADC”), an onshore and offshore gas and oil
rig drilling company in Saudi Arabia, that it accounts for under the equity method. During the fourth
quarter of 2022, ADC completed an initial public offering (“IPO”). In connection with the IPO, SLB sold
a portion of its interest in a secondary offering that resulted in SLB receiving net proceeds of $223
million. As a result of these transactions, SLB’s ownership interest in ADC decreased from 49% to
approximately 34%. SLB recognized a gain of $107 million, representing the gain on the sale of a
portion of its interest as well as the effect of the ownership dilution of its equity investment due to the
IPO.

The increase in earnings of equity method investments in 2022 as compared to 2021 is primarily due to
SLB’s investment in Liberty, as Liberty experienced net losses in 2021 as compared to net income in
2022, as well as higher earnings from SLB’s investment in ADC.

The increase in interest income was primarily driven by the effect of higher cash and short-term
rates in Argentina. This increase was more than offset by
investment balances and interest

approximately $100 million of foreign exchange losses recorded during 2022 ($13 million during 2021)
relating to the remeasurement of Argentine peso-denominated net monetary assets as the official
Argentine peso exchange rate devalued compared to the US dollar throughout 2022.

During 2022, SLB sold certain real estate and recognized a gain of $43 million.

During the fourth quarter of 2022, SLB repurchased $395 million of its 3.75% Senior Notes due 2024
and $409 million of its 4.00% Senior Notes due 2025 for $790 million, resulting in a gain of $11 million
after considering the write-off of the related deferred financing fees and other costs.

During 2021, a start-up company that SLB previously invested in was acquired. As a result of this
transaction, SLB’s ownership interest was converted into shares of a publicly traded company. SLB
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.

Interest Expense

Interest expense of $490 million in 2022 decreased $49 million compared to 2021 primarily as a result
of the repayment of $1.7 billion and $2.1 billion of debt during 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Income Taxes

The SLB effective tax rate is sensitive to the geographic mix of earnings. When the percentage of
pretax earnings generated outside of North America increases, the SLB effective tax rate generally
decreases. Conversely, when the percentage of pretax earnings generated outside of North America
decreases, the SLB effective tax rate generally increases.

The effective tax rate was 18% in 2022 as compared to 19% in 2021. The decrease 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 2022 by approximately one
percentage point.

Charges and Credits

SLB recorded charges and credits during 2022 and 2021. These charges and credits, which are

”Net debt” represents gross debt less cash and short-term investments. Management believes that Net debt
provides useful information regarding the level of SLB’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, exploration data
costs and APS investments.

“Free cash flow” represents cash flow from operations less capital expenditures, APS investments and exploration
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 2022 and 2021 included:

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

Cash flow from operations of $3.7 billion in 2022 decreased approximately $1.0 billion as
compared to 2021. This decrease was primarily due to working capital consuming $1.7 billion
of liquidity in 2022 compared to $45 million in 2021. The increase in working capital was largely
the result of receivables increasing $1.7 billion (32%) and inventories increasing $0.7 billion
(22%), respectively, from 2021 to 2022, while these balances were relatively flat at the end of
2021 as compared to 2020. The increase in receivables was driven primarily by the fact that
SLB’s fourth quarter 2022 revenue increased 27% as compared to the same period last year.
The increase in inventories was a result of the significant activity growth that SLB experienced
in 2022 that is expected to continue in 2023. These increases in working capital were partially
offset by increases in accounts payable and accrued liabilities that were a source of cash of
$0.7 billion in 2022 compared to $0.2 billion in 2021.

in 2022 was partially offset by the effects of a $1.3 billion
The increase in working capital
increase in net income, excluding the effects of the previously mentioned charges and credits
(which had no impact on cash flow from operations), in 2022 as compared to 2021. In addition,
cash flow from operations in 2021 benefited from a federal tax refund of $477 million relating to
to the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and
the carryback of US net operating losses pursuant
Economic Security Act.

In April 2022, SLB announced a 40% increase to its quarterly cash dividend from $0.125 per
share of outstanding common stock to $0.175 per share, beginning with the dividend payable
in July 2022. Dividends paid during 2022 and 2021 were $0.8 billion and $0.7 billion,
respectively. In January 2023, SLB announced a further 43% increase to its quarterly cash
dividend from $0.175 per share of outstanding common stock to $0.25 per share, beginning
with the dividend payable in April 2023.

(cid:129) On January 21, 2016, the SLB Board of Directors approved a $10 billion share repurchase
program for SLB common stock. SLB had repurchased $1.0 billion of SLB common stock
under this program as of December 31, 2022. SLB did not repurchase any of its common stock
during 2022 and 2021. SLB resumed repurchases under this program in the first quarter of
2023.

Capital investments (consisting of capital expenditures, APS investments and exploration data
capitalized) were $2.3 billion in 2022 and $1.7 billion in 2021. Capital investments during 2023
are expected to be approximately $2.5 to $2.6 billion as SLB continues to support the strong
revenue growth that is expected to continue in 2023.

During 2022, SLB sold 47.8 million of its shares of Liberty and received proceeds of $732
million. During 2021, SLB sold 9.5 million of its shares of Liberty and received proceeds of
$109 million.

During the fourth quarter of 2022, SLB repurchased $395 million of its 3.75% Senior Notes due
2024 and $409 million of its 4.00% Senior Notes due 2025 for $790 million.

During the fourth quarter of 2022, SLB sold a portion of its equity interest in ADC in a
secondary offering that resulted in SLB receiving net proceeds of $223 million.

During the second quarter of 2022, SLB sold certain real estate and received proceeds of $120
million.

During the fourth quarter of 2021, SLB deposited sufficient funds with the trustee for its $1.0
billion of 2.40% Senior Notes due 2022 to satisfy and discharge all of its obligations relating to
such notes.

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

31

As of December 31, 2022, SLB had $2.89 billion of cash and short-term investments and committed credit
facility agreements with commercial banks aggregating $6.55 billion, all of which was available and unused.
SLB 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.

SLB 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 SLB 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 SLB 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 SLB about
matters that are inherently uncertain.

SLB 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.

As a large multinational company with a long history of operating in a cyclical
industry, SLB 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, SLB 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, SLB has not historically had material write-offs due to uncollectible accounts
receivable. SLB has a global footprint in more than 100 countries. As of December 31, 2022, three of
those countries individually accounted for greater than 5% of SLB’s net accounts receivable balance,
of which only two (the United States and Mexico) accounted for greater than 10% of such receivables.

Included in Receivables, less allowance for doubtful accounts in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of
December 31, 2022 is approximately $1.0 billion of receivables relating to Mexico. SLB’s receivables
from its primary customer in Mexico are not in dispute and SLB has not historically had any material
write-offs due to uncollectible accounts receivable relating to this customer.

Goodwill, Intangible Assets and Long-Lived Assets

SLB 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 SLB’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, SLB 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, SLB determines it is more likely than not that

33

the fair value of a reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, there is no need to perform any
further testing. However, if SLB 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.

SLB 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.

SLB elected to perform the qualitative assessment described above for purposes of its annual goodwill
impairment test in 2022. Based on this assessment, SLB 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.

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, SLB could be
required to recognize impairment charges in the future.

Income Taxes

SLB conducts business in more than 100 tax jurisdictions, a number of which have tax laws that are
not fully defined and are evolving. SLB’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. SLB 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, SLB 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

SLB 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 5% of SLB’s revenue in 2022, 6% in 2021, and 5% in 2020,
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

SLB’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 and the expected rate of
liability
return on plan assets. These assumptions are important elements of expense and/or
measurement and are updated on an annual basis, or upon the occurrence of significant events.

The discount rate that SLB 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 SLB for its various pension and postretirement
benefit plans:

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

The discount rate utilized to determine the liability for SLB’s United States pension plans and
postretirement medical plan was 5.50% at December 31, 2022 and 3.00% at December 31,
2021.
The weighted-average discount rate utilized to determine the liability for SLB’s international
pension plans was 5.41% at December 31, 2022 and 2.83% at December 31, 2021.
The discount rate utilized to determine expense for SLB’s United States pension plans and
postretirement medical plan was 3.00% in 2022 and 2.60% in 2021.
The weighted-average discount rate utilized to determine expense for SLB’s international
pension plans was 2.83% in 2022 and 2.38% in 2021.

The expected rate of return for SLB’s retirement benefit plans represents the long-term average rate of
return expected to be earned on plan assets based on expectations regarding future rates of return for
the portfolio considering the asset allocation and related historical rate of return. The average expected
rate of return on plan assets for the United States pension plans was 4.40% in 2022 and 6.60% in
2021. The weighted average expected rate of return on plan assets for the international pension plans
was 5.05% in 2022 and 6.73% in 2021. A lower expected rate of return increases pension expense.

constant, for SLB’s United States and international pension plans:

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

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

SLB’s functional currency is primarily the US dollar. Approximately 72% of SLB’s revenue in 2022 was
denominated in US dollars. However, outside the United States, a significant portion of SLB’s
expenses is incurred in foreign currencies. Therefore, when the US dollar weakens in relation to the
foreign currencies of the countries in which SLB conducts business, the US dollar-reported expenses
will increase.

SLB is exposed to risks on future cash flows relating to its fixed rate debt denominated in currencies
other than the functional currency. SLB uses cross-currency interest rate swaps to provide a hedge
against these cash flow risks and effectively convert the debt to US-dollar denominated fixed rate debt.

SLB maintains a foreign-currency risk management strategy that uses derivative instruments to
manage the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates on its earnings. SLB 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, 2022 market rates would increase the
unrealized value of SLB’s forward contracts by $28 million. Conversely, a 10% depreciation in the US
dollar from the December 31, 2022 market rates would decrease the unrealized value of SLB’s forward
contracts by $36 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, 2022, contracts were outstanding for the US dollar equivalent of $7.2 billion in various
foreign currencies, of which $5.1 billion related to hedges of debt balances denominated in currencies
other than the functional currency.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Business Description

Schlumberger Limited (Schlumberger N.V., incorporated in Curaçao) and its consolidated subsidiaries
(collectively, “SLB”) form a global technology company that drives energy innovation for a balanced
planet. With a global footprint in more than 100 countries and employees representing almost twice as
many nationalities, SLB works each day on innovating oil and gas, delivering digital at scale,
decarbonizing industries, and developing and scaling new energy systems that accelerate the energy
transition.

2. Summary of Accounting Policies

The Consolidated Financial Statements of SLB 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, SLB 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; exploration data; contingencies and actuarial assumptions
for employee benefit plans. SLB 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
from these estimates under different assumptions or
conditions.

results may differ

Revenue Recognition

SLB 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 SLB’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 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, SLB does not have significant backlog. Total backlog was $3.0
billion at December 31, 2022, of which approximately 60% is expected to be recognized as revenue
during 2023.

44

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
investments to be cash equivalents.

the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, SLB does not consider Short-term

Investments in Affiliated Companies

Investments in companies in which SLB does not have a controlling financial interest, but over which it
has significant influence, are accounted for using the equity method. SLB’s share of the after-tax
earnings of equity method investees is included in Interest & other income. Investments in privately
held companies in which SLB does not have the ability to exercise significant influence are accounted
for using the cost method. Investments in publicly traded companies in which SLB 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.

Exploration Data

SLB’s exploration data library consists of completed and in-process seismic surveys that are licensed
on a nonexclusive basis. SLB capitalizes costs directly incurred in acquiring and processing the
exploration data. Such costs are charged to Cost of services based on the percentage of the total costs
to the estimated total revenue that SLB 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 exploration data 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 SLB, would not be sufficient to recover the carrying value of the
surveys. Significant adverse changes in SLB’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. SLB 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 SLB is only
compensated based on incremental production that it helps deliver above a mutually agreed baseline.

SLB 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

SLB’s assets that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, short-term
instruments. SLB places its cash and
investments, receivables from clients and derivative financial
institutions and corporations and limits the amount of credit
short-term investments with financial

45

exposure with any one of them. SLB regularly evaluates the creditworthiness of the issuers in which it
invests. By using derivative financial instruments to hedge certain exposures, SLB exposes itself to
some credit risk. SLB 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.

As a large multinational company, SLB’s accounts receivable are spread over many countries and
customers. The United States and Mexico represented 13% and 14%, respectively, of SLB’s net
accounts receivable balance at December 31, 2022. No other countries accounted for greater than
10% of SLB’s accounts receivable balance. SLB 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 SLB’s customers were to deteriorate resulting in an
impairment of their ability to make payments, adjustments to the allowance may be required.

including its pressure pumping, pumpdown perforating and
United States and Canada,
Permian frac sand business to Liberty Energy Inc. (“Liberty”) in exchange for an equity interest
in Liberty. During 2022, SLB sold 47.8 million of its shares of Liberty and received proceeds of

The Central Bank of Argentina maintains certain currency controls that limit SLB’s ability to
access US dollars in Argentina and remit cash from its Argentine operations. A legal indirect
foreign exchange mechanism exists, in the form of capital market transactions known as Blue
Chip Swaps, which effectively results in a parallel US dollar exchange rate. This parallel rate,
which cannot be used as the basis to remeasure SLB’s Argentine peso-denominated net
monetary assets in US dollars under US GAAP, was approximately 93% higher
than
Argentina’s official exchange rate at December 31, 2022. During the fourth quarter of 2022,
SLB entered into Blue Chip Swap transactions that resulted in a loss of $139 million.

During the fourth quarter of 2022, SLB repurchased $395 million of its 3.75% Senior Notes due
2024 and $409 million of its 4.00% Senior Notes due 2025 for $790 million, resulting in a gain
of $11 million after considering the write-off of the related deferred financing fees and other
costs.

First quarter 2020:

(cid:129) 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, SLB’s market capitalization
deteriorated significantly compared to the end of 2019. SLB’s stock price reached a low during
the first quarter of 2020 not seen since 1995. Additionally, the Philadelphia Oil Services Sector
index, which is comprised of companies involved in the oil services sector, reached an all-time
low. As a result of these facts, SLB determined that it was more likely than not that the fair value
of certain of its reporting units was less than their carrying value.

49

Therefore, SLB performed an interim goodwill impairment test, which resulted in a $3.1 billion
goodwill impairment charge. SLB 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
that a marketplace
flows using SLB’s estimate of
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.

the discount rate, or expected return,

the more significant assumptions inherent

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

The discount rates utilized to value SLB’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 SLB’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, SLB
recorded the following impairment charges:

-

-
-

$3.3 billion relating to intangible assets, of which $2.2 billion relates to SLB’s 2016
acquisition of Cameron International Corporation and $1.1 billion relates to SLB’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:

(cid:129)

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. SLB
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, SLB had assets that would no longer be utilized. As a
consequence of these circumstances and decisions, SLB recorded the following restructuring
and asset impairment charges:

-

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

50

-

-
-

-

-

$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 SLB exited and excess equipment.
$205 million of costs associated with exiting certain activities.
$156 million impairment of certain exploration data.
$60 million of other costs, including a $42 million increase in the allowance for the doubtful
accounts.

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

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

As a consequence of the workforce reductions described above, SLB 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:

(cid:129)

SLB recorded the following restructuring charges:

-

-
-

$254 million of facility exit charges as SLB 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:

(cid:129) On December 31, 2020, SLB contributed its OneStim business to Liberty in exchange for a
37% equity interest in Liberty. As a result of this transaction, SLB recognized a gain of $104
million. This gain is classified in Interest & other income, net in the Consolidated Statement of
Income (Loss).

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

During the fourth quarter of 2020, a start-up company that SLB previously invested in
completed an initial public offering. As a result, SLB 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, net in the Consolidated
Statement of Income (Loss). SLB sold its interest in this company during 2021.

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

The fair value of certain of the assets impaired during 2020 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.

facility agreements with commercial banks
At December 31, 2022, SLB had committed credit
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 $750 million matures in
February 2024, $2.0 billion matures in February 2025, $1.0 billion matures in July 2026, and $2.0
billion in February 2027. SLB also has a €750 million three-year committed revolving credit facility that
matures in June 2024. At December 31, 2022, 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
SLB’s intent to maintain these obligations for longer than one year. There were no borrowings under
the commercial paper programs at December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Long-term Debt as of December 31, 2022 is due as follows: $0.9 billion in 2024, $1.0 billion in 2025,
$1.7 billion in 2026, $1.0 billion in 2027, $1.5 billion in 2028, $0.8 billion in 2029 and $3.7 billion
thereafter.

The fair value of SLB’s Long-term Debt at December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $9.4 billion
and $13.9 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 indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of Schlumberger Limited.

9. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

SLB’s functional currency is primarily the US dollar. Approximately 72% of SLB’s revenues in 2022
were denominated in US dollars. However, outside the United States, a significant portion of SLB’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 SLB conducts business, the US dollar-
reported expenses will increase (decrease).

SLB is exposed to risks on future cash flows relating to its fixed rate debt denominated in currencies
other than the functional currency. SLB uses cross-currency interest rate swaps to provide a hedge
against these cash flow risks. These contracts are accounted for as cash flow hedges, with the fair
the derivative recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and in Accumulated other
value of
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.

Details regarding SLB’s outstanding cross-currency interest rate swaps as of December 31, 2022,
were as follows:

functional currency subsidiary of SLB issued €2.0 billion of
During 2020, a US-dollar
Euro-denominated debt. SLB entered into cross-currency interest
rate swaps 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 interest rate swaps
the Euro-denominated notes to US-dollar denominated debt with fixed
effectively convert
annual interest rates of 2.77% and 3.49%, respectively.

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

The fair values were determined using a model with inputs that are observable in the market or can be
derived or corroborated by observable data.

SLB had derivative contracts in place that hedged the price of oil related to approximately 75% of the
projected oil production for 2022 for one of its APS projects. During 2022, SLB entered into derivative
contracts that hedge the price of oil relating to approximately 70% of the projected oil production for the
first six months of 2023 and approximately 30% of the projected oil production for the last six months of
2023 for the same project. These contracts are accounted for as cash flow hedges.

SLB 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. SLB 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.

SLB is also exposed to changes in the fair value of assets and liabilities denominated in currencies
other than the functional currency. While SLB 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 derivative 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 $96 million in 2022,
$23 million in 2021, and $21 million in 2020 were recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income
(Loss) net of related hedging activities.

Foreign currency forward contracts were outstanding for the US dollar equivalent of $2.1 billion and
$1.7 billion in various foreign currencies as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Other than the previously mentioned cross-currency interest rate swaps, the fair value of the other
outstanding derivatives was not material as of December 31, 2022 and 2021.

11. Stock-based Compensation Plans

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

56

Restricted Stock

SLB grants performance share units to certain key employees. The number of shares earned is
determined at the end of each performance period based on SLB’s achievement of certain predefined
targets as described in the underlying performance share unit agreement. In the event SLB exceeds
the predefined target, shares for up to a maximum of 250% of the target award may be awarded. In the
event SLB falls below the predefined target, a reduced number of shares may be awarded. If SLB falls
below the threshold award performance level, no shares will be awarded. As of December 31, 2022,
3.9 million performance share units were outstanding assuming the achievement of 100% of target.

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 SLB’s stock on the date of
grant less the present value of the expected dividends not received prior to vesting.

Discounted Stock Purchase Plan

Under the terms of the DSPP, employees can choose to have a portion of their earnings withheld,
subject to certain restrictions, to purchase SLB common stock. Until July 1, 2022, the purchase price of
the stock was 92.5% of the lower of the stock price at the beginning or end of the plan period at six-
month intervals. Effective July 1, 2022, the purchase price of the stock was changed to 85% 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:

Stock Options

Key employees may be granted stock options under SLB stock option plans. The exercise price equals
the average of the high and low sales prices of SLB stock on the date of grant. The maximum term is
10 years, and the options generally vest in increments over five years.

A number of the jurisdictions in which SLB operates have tax laws that are not fully defined and are
evolving. SLB’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
is as follows:

The weighted-average remaining lease term as of December 31, 2022 was 10 years. The weighted-
average discount rate used to determine the operating lease liability as of December 31, 2022 was
3.3%.

14. Contingencies

SLB 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.

15. Segment Information

SLB is organized under four Divisions that combine and integrate SLB’s technologies, enhancing the
Company’s ability to support the emerging long-term growth opportunities in each of these market
segments.

16. Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans

Pension Plans

SLB 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, SLB 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:

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

Actuarial gains arising during each of 2022 and 2021 were primarily attributable to increases in the
discount rate used to determine the PBO.

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 return
expected to be earned on plan assets. 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 SLB’s pension plan assets at December 31, 2022 and 2021, by asset category, is
presented below and was determined based on valuation techniques categorized as follows:

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

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

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

SLB’s funding policy is to annually contribute amounts that are based upon a number of factors
including the funded status of the plans, amounts that are deductible for income tax purposes, legal
to make any material
funding requirements and available cash flow. SLB does not expect
contributions to its postretirement benefit plans in 2023.

Due to the actions taken by SLB to reduce its global workforce during 2020, SLB experienced a
significant reduction in the expected aggregate years of future service of its employees in its US
postretirement medical plan. Accordingly, SLB 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
the curtailment, SLB
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

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

SLB 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”). SLB’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide
reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial
statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

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

SLB management assessed the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2022. 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 SLB’s management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2022, its
internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria.

The effectiveness of SLB’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022 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

statements of income (loss), comprehensive income (loss), stockholders’ equity and cash flows for

(collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). We also have audited the
Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on criteria
established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022,

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, 2022 and 2021 and the results of
its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022 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, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated
Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.

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 accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal

76

financial

reporting includes those policies and procedures that

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

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

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.

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, SLB’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance
that information required to be disclosed in the reports that SLB 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. SLB’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 SLB’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fourth
quarter of 2022 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, SLB’s internal
control over financial reporting.

Item 9B. Other Information.

In 2013, SLB 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”).

SLB’s residual transactions or dealings with the government of Iran in 2022 consisted of payments of
taxes and other typical governmental charges. Certain non-US subsidiaries of SLB 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
SLB 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. SLB anticipates that it will discontinue dealings with Saderat and Tejarat
following the receipt of all amounts owed to SLB for prior services rendered in Iran.

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

None.

believes, expects, expected, estimated, future, 
intends, and similar expressions to identify forward-
looking statements. Forward-looking statements 
reflect management’s current expectations and are 
inherently uncertain, and actual results or outcomes 
could differ materially for a variety of reasons. 
Risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual 
results to differ significantly from management’s 
expectations are described in our 2022 Annual 
Report on Form 10-K, included herein. Forward-
looking and other statements in this report regarding 
our environmental, social and other sustainability
