We will start off by taking a closer look at the size of Schlumberger as well as how we
are organized.
But before that, let’s get the formalities out of the way. Some of the following statements
are forward-looking. Actual results may differ. Please see our latest SEC filings.
To best understand our size, let’s look at some of the key aspects of our business and our
global footprint.
Schlumberger today operates in over 85 countries, many of which we have been present for
more than 70 years. Throughout this time, we have invested continuously in infrastructure
and resources, creating a global deployment platform that is unmatched in our industry.
We have maintained a strong commitment to recruiting 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 Research, Engineering,
and Manufacturing centers throughout the world, making sure they touch all operating
environments and that they remain close to the regional challenges of our customers. So
our global footprint is clearly a major advantage for Schlumberger.
