The Whole Is Greater than the Sum of the Parts
Schlumberger operates in more than 85 countries
—many of them for more than 70 years. Throughout
this time, we have continuously invested in infrastruc-
ture and resources, creating an integrated global
deployment platform that is unmatched in the industry.
We have maintained a strong commitment to recruit-
ing and developing local talent everywhere we operate,
creating both extensive local knowledge as well as deep
and long-standing customer relationships. In addition,
we have established REMS centers throughout the
world, making sure they touch all operating environ-
ments while remaining close to the regional challenges
of our customers.
The 15 strong product lines that are the core of the
Schlumberger organization are in charge of the tech-
nology portfolio, sales, and resource management, as
well as product and service delivery. To complement
this, the GeoMarket regions are responsible for cus-
tomer interface coordination, cross-product-line oppor-
tunities, and management of main support functions,
as well as providing general business oversight. The
scale of our operations, combined with the breadth of
our business offering and the strength of our customer
relationships, creates massive reach in terms of market
intelligence and understanding of customer needs and
market opportunities.
The complexity of future sources of hydrocarbon
supply demands new and unique capabilities from the
oilfield services sector to deliver workflows incorporat-
ing technological advances that connect the physical
and digital worlds, the engineered systems required to
drill and produce challenging wells, and the ability to
leverage teams of highly skilled experts from around
the globe. Integration of these capabilities into a coher-
ent and cohesive oilfield services company is necessary
for the substantial gains that the E&P industry requires
to continue to safely and reliably provide environmen-
tally acceptable energy as economically as possible.
Schlumberger, with almost 20 years of experience in
supplying integrated services at all levels and with the
industry’s broadest technology portfolio, deepest sci-
entific understanding, and largest petrotechnical
workforce, is well-positioned to benefit from the drive
to closer service integration that is necessary for E&P
business today. The whole is indeed greater than the
sum of the parts.
