Item 8 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
8. Investments
The Consolidated Balance Sheet reflects the Schlumberger investment portfolio separated between current and long term, based on maturity. Under normal circumstances it is the intent of Schlumberger to hold the investments until maturity, with the exception of investments which are considered trading (December 31, 2003 - $151 million; December 31, 2002 - $0).
Fixed income investments of $223 million mature in 2005.
On December 31, 2003, there were no interest rate swap arrangements outstanding related to investments. Interest rate swap arrangements had no material effect on consolidated interest income.
