2022 Annual Report

Our purpose is to create amazing technology that unlocks access to energy, for the benefit of all.

As innovators, that's been our mission for nearly 100 years. Today, it's a global imperative. We are facing the world's greatest balancing act—simultaneously reducing emissions while meeting the world's growing energy demands. We're working on the answers.

Every day, a step closer. Our collective future depends on decarbonizing the fossil fuel industry, while innovating a new energy landscape. It's what drives us. Ensuring progress for people and the planet, on the journey to net zero and beyond.

For a balanced planet.

Our three engines of growth:

Core

Absent a major market disruption, we maintain the view that upstream spending is very resilient and decoupled from near-term demand. We foresee capital investment continuing to grow at double-digit compound annual growth rate (CAGR) in the upstream sector for years ahead across Middle East, North America Land, and Offshore basins.

This represents a very favorable backdrop to SLB market positions and will continue to support our ambition for outperformance in this upcycle.
