Schlumberger Oilfield Services also offers customers its services through a business model known as Integrated Project Management (IPM). IPM combines the required productsservices and servicesproducts of the Schlumberger Technologies with drilling rig management expertise and project management skills to provide a complete solution to well construction and production improvement. IPM projects are typically of multi-year duration and include start-up costs and significant third-party components that cover services that Schlumberger does not provide directly. Some projects may be fixed price in nature and may contain penalties for non-performance.

Schlumberger Oilfield Services uses its own personnel to market its productsservices and services.products. The customer base, business risks and opportunities for growth are essentially uniform across all services. There is a sharing of manufacturing and engineering facilities as well as research centers, and the labor force is interchangeable. Technological innovation, quality of service, and price differentiation are the principal methods of competition, which varies geographically with respect to the different services offered. While there are numerous competitors, both large and small, Schlumberger believes that it is an industry leader in providing wireline logging, well testing, measurement-while-drilling, logging-while-drilling and directional-drilling services, as well as fully computerized logging and geoscience software and computing services. A large proportion of Schlumberger offerings are non-rig related; consequently, revenue does not necessarily correlate to rig count fluctuations.

Schlumberger is a 40% owner in M-I SWACO – a joint venture with Smith International, Inc. – which offers the drilling and completion fluids used to stabilize subsurface rock strata during the drilling process and minimize formation damage during completion and workover operations.

Item 1A.    Risk Factors.

 

The following discussion of risk factors contains “forward-looking statements,” asstatements” which are discussed immediately following Item 7A.7A of this Report.Form 10-K. These risk factors may be important to understanding any statement in this ReportForm 10-K or elsewhere. The following information should be read in conjunction with Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, and the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this Report.Form 10-K.

 

We urge you to carefully consider the risks described below, 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 Report.Form 10-K. If any of the risks described below or elsewhere in this ReportForm 10-K were to materialize, our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or prospects could be materially adversely affected. In such case, the trading price of our common stock could decline and you could lose allpart or partall of your investment. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also materially adversely affect our businessfinancial condition, results of operations and operations.cash flows.

Demand for the majority of our services depends substantially depends on the level of expenditures by the oil and gas industry for the exploration, development and production of crude oil and natural gas reserves.

This could result in a significantmaterial adverse effect on our operating results. Furthermore, it is difficult to predict how long the economic downturn will continue, to what extent it will worsen,financial condition, results of operations and to what extent this will continue to affect us.cash flows.

The reduction in cash flows being experienced by our customers resulting from declines in commodity prices, together with the reduced availability of credit and increased costs of borrowing, due to the tightening of the credit markets, could have significant adverse effects on the financial condition of some of our customers. This could result in project modifications, delays or cancellations, general business disruptions, and delay in, or nonpayment of, amounts that are owed to us, which could have a significantmaterial adverse effect on our results of operations and cash flows. Additionally, our suppliers could be negatively impacted by current global economic conditions. If certain of our suppliers were to experience significant cash flow issues or become insolvent as a result of such conditions, it could result in a reduction or interruption in supplies or a significant increase in the price of supplies, and adversely impact our results of operations and cash flows.

The prices for oil and natural gas are subject to a variety of additional factors, including:

 

 · 

demand for energy,hydrocarbons, which is affected by worldwide population growth, economic developmentgrowth rates and general economic and business conditions;

 

 · 

the ability of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries(“Countries (“OPEC”) to set and maintain production levels for oil;

 

 · 

oil and gas production by non-OPEC countries;

 

 ·

the level of excess production capacity;

· 

political and economic uncertainty and socio-politicalsociopolitical unrest;

 

 · 

the level of worldwide oil and gas exploration and production activity;

 

 · 

the cost of exploring for, producing and delivering oil and gas;

 

 · 

technological advances affecting energy consumption; and

 

 · 

weather conditions.

 

A significant portion of our revenue is derived from our non-United States operations, which exposes us to risks inherent in doing business in each of the approximately 80 countries in which we operate.

 

Our non-United States operations accounted for approximately 78%84% of our consolidated revenue in 2009, 78% in 2008 and 76% in 2007 and 73% in 2006.2007. Operations in countries other than the United States are subject to various risks, including:

 

 · 

unsettled political and economic conditions in certain areas;

 

Part 1, Item 1A 

 · 

exposure to possible expropriation of our assets or other governmental actions;

 

 · 

social unrest, acts of terrorism, war or other armed conflict;

 

 · 

confiscatory taxation or other adverse tax policies;

 

 · 

deprivation of contract rights;

 

 · 

trade restrictions or embargoes imposed by the United States or other countries;

 

 ·

restrictions under the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act or similar legislation in other countries;

· 

restrictions on the repatriation of income or capital;

 

 · 

currency exchange controls;

 

 · 

inflation; and

 

 · 

currency exchange rate fluctuations and devaluations.

Part 1, Item 1A

 

In addition, we are subject to risks associated with our operations in countries, including Iran, Syria, Sudan and Cuba, which are subject to trade and economic sanctions or other restrictions imposed by the United States or other governments or organizations. United States law enforcement authorities are currently conducting a grand jury investigation and an associated regulatory inquiry related to our operations in certain of these countries.

If any of the risks described above materialize, or if any governmental investigation results in criminal or civil penalties or other remedial measures, it could reduce our earnings and our cash available for operations.

We are also subject to risks related to investment in our common stock in connection with certain US state divestment or investment limitation legislation applicable to companies with operations in these countries, and similar actions by some private investors, which could adversely affect the market forprice of our common stock.

 

Environmental compliance costs and liabilities could reduce our earnings and cash available for operations.

 

We are subject to increasingly stringent laws and regulations relating to importation and use of hazardous materials, radioactive materials and explosives, environmental protection, including laws and regulations governing air emissions, water discharges and waste management. We incur, and expect to continue to incur, capital and operating costs to comply with environmental laws and regulations. The technical requirements of these laws and regulations are becoming increasingly complex, stringent and expensive complex and stringent.to implement. These laws may provide for “strict liability” for damages to natural resources or threats to public health and safety. Strict liability can render a party liable for damages without regard to negligence or fault on the part of the party. Some environmental laws provide for joint and several strict liability for remediation of spills and releases of hazardous substances.

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 become subject to potentially material liabilities relating to the investigation and cleanup of contaminated properties, and to claims alleging personal injury or property damage as the result of exposures to, or releases of, hazardous substances. In addition, stricter enforcement of existing laws and regulations, new 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 of new or increased liabilities that could reduce our earnings and our cash available for operations. We believe we are currently in substantial compliance with environmental laws and regulations.

 

We could be subject to substantial liability claims, which would adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and financial condition.cash flows.

 

Certain equipment used in the delivery of oilfield services, such as directional drilling equipment, perforating systems, subsea completion equipment, radioactive materials and explosives and well completion

systems, are used in hostile environments, such as exploration, development and production applications. An accident or a failure of a product could cause personal injury, loss of life, damage to property, equipment or the environment, and suspension of operations. Our insurance may not adequately protect us against liability for some kinds of events, including events involving pollution, or against losses resulting from business interruption. Moreover, in the future we may not be able to maintain insurance at levels of risk coverage or policy limits that we deem adequate. Substantial claims made under our policies could cause our premiums to increase. Any future damages caused by our products that are not covered by insurance, or are in excess of policy limits or are subject to substantial deductibles, could reduceadversely affect our earningsfinancial condition, results of operations and our cash available for operations.flows.

Part 1, Item 1A

 

If we are unable to maintain technology leadership in the form of services and products, this could adversely affect any competitive advantage we hold.

 

If we are unable to develop and produce competitive technology or deliver themit to our clients in the form of services and products in a timely and cost-competitive manner in the various markets we serve, it could materially reduceadversely affect our operating revenuefinancial condition, results of operations and net income.cash flows.

 

Limitations on our ability to protect our intellectual property rights, including our trade secrets, could cause a loss in revenue and any competitive advantage we hold.

 

Some of our products or services, and the processes we use to produce or provide them, have been granted United States patent protection, have patent applications pending or are trade secrets. Our business may be adversely affected if 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. Our competitors may be able to develop technology independently that is similar to ours without infringing on our patents or gaining access to our trade secrets.

 

We may be subject to litigation if another party claims that we have infringed upon its intellectual property rights.

 

The tools, techniques, methodologies, programs and components we use to provide our services may infringe upon the intellectual property rights of others. Infringement claims generally result in significant legal and other costs and may distract management from running our core business. Royalty payments under licenses from third parties, if available, would increase our costs. If a license were not available we might not be able to continue providing a particular service or product, or service, which would reducecould adversely affect our operating revenue.financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Additionally, developing non-infringing technologies would increase our costs.

 

Failure to obtain and retain skilled technical personnel could impede our operations.

 

We require highly skilled personnel to operate and provide technical services and support for our business. Competition for the personnel required for our businesses intensifies as activity increases. In periods of high utilization it may become more difficult to find and retain qualified individuals. This could increase our costs or have other adverse effects on our operations.

 

Severe weather conditions may affect our operations.

 

Our business may be materially affected by severe weather conditions in areas where we operate. This may entail the evacuation of personnel and stoppage of services. In addition, if particularly severe weather affects platforms or structures, this may result in a suspension of activities until the platforms or structures have been repaired. Any of these events may have a material adverse effect oncould adversely affect our operating revenue.financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Executive Overview

 

As 2009 progressed, oil prices recovered gradually from levels under $40 per barrel at the beginning of the year to over $70 per barrel by year-end. The large drop in oil demand in 2009 that resulted from the global economic recession, together with increased production capacity in spite of significant delays in new development projects, led to spare oil production capacity reaching its highest level in nearly two decades. However, the decisions by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) at the end of 2008 progressed, early optimismto cut production, the adherence of continuingthe majority of OPEC countries to production quotas, and the improving economic outlook contributed to rising prices with stabilization at current levels. During 2009, the demand forecasts of the major energy organizations evolved with economic projections falling to a low of nearly 83 million barrels of oil per day (BOPD) in May, then increasing gradually by 1.5 million BOPD toward the end of the year. The final forecast figure of 84.4 million BOPD represented the second consecutive year-on-year drop in oil demand for the first time in 25 years. For 2010, economic projections for world real GDP growth are converging towards a median estimate of 3%, but with a significant level of uncertainty. A large gap exists between GDP growth rates of Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and non-OECD countries – particularly in China and in other developing Asian economies. Overall OECD country demand will remain at its lowest level in over a decade, but this will be compensated by growth in China, South East Asia and the Middle East. From a supply standpoint, the level of uncertainty in oil demand and natural gas exploration and production activity was dampened by growing evidence of weakening economic conditions that began to significantly weigh upon the energy markets in early October. While such weakening did not prevent oil prices from ramping up steeplyled E&P customers to $147-per-barrelcut investment in July,2009 – particularly in projects with the velocity of the subsequent reversal to under $40-per-barrel byhighest production costs – but forecasts published at the end of the year was supported by economic reports and forecasts that confirmed the majority of the OECD (Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development) countries to beindicated a likely rise in recession by the end of the third quarter. Consequently, global oil demand forecasts for 2008 dropped from quarter to quarter and it became apparent that moderating oil demand growthinvestment in the non-OECD economies would no longer be sufficient to offset a continuing three-year demand decline within the OECD countries. As a result, 2008 saw the first global oil demand decrease in 25 years. In the fourth quarter OPEC elected to cut production by a total of 3.7 million barrels per day to remove supply and support prices, however, the time taken for these cuts to be felt in the market, and for the resultant increased spare capacity to be reabsorbed by future growth, was large enough for E&P customers to cut investment. This translated to lower demand and weaker prices for oilfield services in an increasing number of areas late in the fourth quarter.2010.

The natural gas markets presentedbehaved differently from oil markets in 2009. The combination of the drop in gas demand that resulted from reduced industrial activity; the rise in production of unconventional gas resources in North America; and the commissioning of a similar picture. While activity was initially maintainednumber of new large LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) exporting facilities around the world contributed to an over-supplied market with consequent pressure on spot gas prices. On a per-British Thermal Unit basis, the ratio of oil to Henry Hub gas prices increased to its highest level in the first part oflast four decades, threatening the year, the developing recessionlinkage mechanisms in the latter part of 2008 led to lower industrial demand in the developed economies although commercial and residential demand was maintained. In North America,future long-term supply increased by 6% in 2008 largely as a result of industry deployment of advanced drilling, production and completion technologies leading to higher gas production and consequently greater storage levels in spite of lower Canadian imports and decreased LNG (Liquified Natural Gas) supplies. Consequently, more LNG has become available for other international importers and, as a result, the majority of the developed economies are well supplied for their needs.contracts. Within the United States, the world’s largest natural gas market, this translatedand despite some fuel switching in power generation from coal to reduced gas exploration and production investment with lower demand for oilfield services and consequent pressure on service pricing in a number of areas by the fourth quarter as the market price ofCanadian gas imports, natural gas fell. In international markets however, increasing demand forstorage levels have been significantly above the five-year range consistently since April 2009. Consequently, natural gas wellhead prices have reached their lowest levels since 2002. This has translated into the largest sustained drop in gas-related drilling and service activity since the 2001-2002 period. Nevertheless, the technological success associated with production from unconventional gas reservoirs in the developing economies ledUnited States is leading to sustained drillingan increasing level of interest in similar formations outside North America, particularly in Europe, which could lead to an expansion in activity with drilling rigs previously deployed on oil exploration and development moving towhen natural gas activity in some regions.prices rebound.

Within this volatile market, Schlumberger Oilfield Services full-year revenue in 2009 declined 16% versus 2008, grew by 20% versus 2007, with demand strongestfalling to $20.52 billion. Lower natural gas prices and unfavorable market fundamentals led to a 37% decline in international markets. Year-on-year growth rates reached 28%North America revenue, primarily in Latin America, 24% inthe US Land and Canada GeoMarkets. Europe/CIS/Africa 18%revenue fell 13% mainly due to the weakening of local currencies against the US dollar and reduced activity in the Russia, North Sea, West & South Africa and Caspian GeoMarkets as well as at Framo Engineering. This decline however was partially offset by increased activity in the North Africa GeoMarket. Middle East & Asia and 11% in North America.

A variety of new Schlumberger products and services contributed to growth in 2008. These included further penetration of Scanner Family* advanced wireline logging services and Scope* imaging-while-drilling technologies into new markets as customers sought to increase their understanding of complex reservoirs. Growth through measurement integration also extended into the production domain with offerings suchAustralia/Papua New Guinea GeoMarkets. Latin America revenue was only marginally lower than last year as the StimMAP* LIVE real-time fracture monitoring service that combinesimpact of the measurement capabilityweakening of Wireline with the pressure pumping expertise of Well Services to track the progress of fracture stimulation in real time

local currencies against the US dollar and much lower activity in Venezuela/Trinidad & Tobago and Peru/ Colombia/Ecuador was nearly offset by stronger activity in Mexico/Central America and Brazil. Weakening of local currencies against the US dollar reduced 2009 revenue by approximately 4%. Across the Areas, all of the Technologies recorded revenue declines except Testing Services. IPM recorded revenue growth compared to be able to control2008.

While customers spent less on new technology in 2009 versus the operationprevious year, a number of recently introduced Schlumberger services made further market progress. PowerDrive* family rotary-steerable drilling systems extended their market reach, entering new markets in the North and Latin America. Scanner Family* services for maximum effect. Other new production-related services includedadvanced formation evaluation saw success in Mexico and Canada, and Well Services recorded market penetration in Saudi Arabia, Abu Dhabi and Malaysia with the range of ACTive* real-time coiled-tubing services that combineimprove operating efficiency and well performance through the innovative use of fiber-optic cable to convey downhole information to the surface.

Investment in Oilfield Services infrastructure continued throughout the year. Significant events included the opening of a new reservoir completions manufacturing center in Damman, Saudi Arabia. Representing an investment of $25 million, the center houses a team of design and manufacturing engineers specialized in the production of downhole sensor packagereservoir completions equipment. The center also provides a collaborative environment in which joint oil company and Schlumberger teams can develop and manufacture completions solutions for application across Saudi Arabia and the Middle East. In Brazil, we announced the signing of a joint cooperation agreement with the Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro to build a fiber-optic communications system to monitor coiled-tubing-enabled operationskey international research center on the university’s campus. This new center will focus on research and development activities in real time.

Acquisitions in 2008 also served to increase Schlumberger capabilities or added specificthe deepwater subsalt environment, with emphasis on the development of geosciences software for the exploration and production sector; new technologies to meet reservoir challenges in subsalt environments; and the portfolio.creation of a geophysical processing and interpretation Center of Excellence covering time-lapse seismic and combined electromagnetic and seismic measurements.

A number of technology agreements and acquisitions were completed during the year to enable future product development or improve geographical reach. In Canada,May, Schlumberger acquired Techsia SA, a supplier of petrophysical software based in Montpellier, France. Techsia will become the Schlumberger Petrophysics Software Center of Excellence for the development of state-of-the-art solutions for the oil and gas exploration and production industry. In September, Schlumberger and First Reserve CorporationNational Oilwell Varco announced the creation of a joint venture to provide high-speed drill string telemetry systems to improve the efficiency and safety of oil and gas operations. The venture is expected to accelerate development and delivery of intelligent drilling solutions through the expanded use of the IntelliServ® Broadband Network, a patented technology that provides high resolution data in real time to and from the bottom of oil and gas wells as they are being drilled. In November, Schlumberger acquired Saxon EnergyLonkar Services Inc., a land drilling contractorcompany providing slickline, cased-hole wireline and surface well testing services in Western Canada and Northern USA. Also in November Schlumberger signed a global cooperation agreement with majorTechnip to jointly develop subsea integrity and surveillance solutions for the flexible pipes used in deep offshore oil and gas production. This agreement will initially focus on surveillance systems activities for new and challenging flexible pipe applications such as those required in the deepwater subsalt environment in Brazil.

Full-year 2009 revenue of WesternGeco was, at $2.12 billion, 25% lower than 2008. Revenue decreased across all product lines, with the largest declines seen in Marine and Multiclient activity. Marine revenue fell on lower activity combined with reduced pricing as a result of weak market conditions. Multiclient revenue decreased primarily in North and South America. Schlumberger had already enjoyed a long association with Saxon, including operation of joint ventures in Mexico and Colombia for the supply of drilling services that support integrated project management activities. Also in Canada, Schlumberger acquired the business of Extreme Engineering Limited, a leading supplier of unmanned measurement-while-drilling systemsAmerica, as customers continued to land markets in the United States and Canada. Other technology acquisitions included Integrated Exploration Systems, a Germany-based technology leader in petroleum systems modeling, and Staag Imaging, a Houston-based provider of leading-edge depth imaging technologies for seismic data processing.

The performance of WesternGeco, where full-year 2008reduce discretionary spending. Land revenue fell by 4% versus 2007, was limited by a combination ofon lower Multiclient sales, reduced Landcrew utilization, while Data Processing revenue decreased reflecting lower activity primarily in Europe/Africa and cost inflation that affected Marine operations. Among these factors, Multiclient sales were particularly weak with the sharp decrease reported in the first quarter not being reversed later in the year as a clear indication of customers restricting discretionary spending for seismic data. Contract awards remained strong, however, and WesternGeco reported a record backlog of $1.8 billion atNorth America.

Towards the end of the year, up $700 million fromWesternGeco announced the enddeployment of the third quarter.

In spite of this weaker-than-expected performance, WesternGeco made significant progressnext-generation UniQ* integrated point-receiver land seismic acquisition and processing system in Kuwait for the introduction ofKuwait Oil Company. The new technology during the year. These included a new proprietary full-azimuth marine acquisition technique, known as coil shooting, that leverages the signal fidelitysystem, designed for greater operational efficiency and streamer-steering capability of Q* technologyflexibility, offers up to provide resolution in sub-salt applications where wide-azimuth techniques mobilize too many resources. Coil shooting provides the same quality survey but uses only one vessel to do so. In other new technology developments, the UniQ* latest-generation land acquisition system was unveiled. This substantially increases the number of acquisition channels available and in combination with proprietary vibrator source technology delivers a sharper image and wider coverage.

The sharp drop in oil and gas prices in the latter part of 2008 that resulted in lower activity, higher inventories, and the belief that demand will erode further in 2009 as a result of the economic slowdown, has led to rapid and substantial reductions in exploration and production expenditure. At current prices most of the new categories of hydrocarbon resources such as heavy oil, tar sands, coal-to-liquids, or gas-to-liquids are not economic to develop. In addition, it will take time for inflation to be removed from the E&P supply chain to bring finding and development costs more in line with lower oil and gas prices.

Schlumberger therefore expects 2009 activity to weaken across the board, with the most significant declines occurring in North American gas drilling, Russian oil production enhancement, and in mature offshore basins. Exploration offshore will also be somewhat curtailed but commitments already planned are likely to be honored. Seismic expenditures, particularly for multiclient data, are likely to decrease from the levels of 2008. Furthermore, pricing erosion will compound these effects on revenue. In this market we are taking the necessary actions early in 2009 to adjust our operating cost base while preserving our long-term commitments to technology development, key skill sets and service and product quality.

The most important indicator of a future recovery in oilfield services activity will be a stabilization and recovery in the demand for oil. The recent years of increased exploration and production spending, however, have not been sufficient to substantially improve the supply situation. The age of the production base, accelerating decline rates and the smaller size of recently developed fields will mean that any prolonged reduction in investment will lead to a strong rebound in activity in the future.four times

the capability of existing Q-Land* systems and is currently acquiring data from 53,000 live point-receiver channels in conjunction with the WesternGeco DX-80* Desert Explorer with MD Sweep* technology introduced the previous year.

The outlook for 2010 remains largely dependent on the prospects for the general economy. At the end of the third quarter of 2009, we indicated that we were encouraged that signs were emerging that demand for oil and gas would begin to increase. Consensus forecasts now predict that oil demand in 2010 will increase, particularly in the developing world, for the first time since 2007.

As a result we feel that oil prices are likely to be sustained at current levels and that as our customers’ confidence grows, their exploration and production budgets will increase. We feel that considerable leverage to increase investment exists in offshore markets, in Russia, as well as in certain emerging investment opportunities such as Iraq. These events will be dependent on continued increases in economic growth in the second half of the year beyond the current government stimulus packages.

For natural gas activity we remain a great deal more cautious. Despite signs of some recovery in industrial demand as well as the recent cold weather, we consider that markets remain generally oversupplied. Increased LNG flows together with further capacity being added in 2010, as well as the general uncertainty over the decline rates of unconventional gas production, have the potential to limit the current increase in the North American gas drilling rig count.

We anticipate that 2010 will be a better year for multiclient seismic, and for activity in land seismic particularly in Middle East and North Africa. While Marine activity is expected to be reasonably robust, pricing improvements will be limited due to continued new capacity additions.

Longer term we remain confident that considerably increased spending will be necessary to maintain sufficient reserves and production of hydrocarbons to meet the world’s needs. Our technology portfolio and worldwide infrastructure mean we are strongly positioned to capture growth opportunities as our customers begin to increase their investment.

Oilfield Services

 

Fourth-quarter revenue of $5.17 billion increased 4% sequentially, with all Areas, except Europe/CIS/Africa, contributing to the improvement. Sequential growth was driven by increased deepwater and exploration-related activity leading to demand for Wireline, Testing Services and Drilling & Measurements technologies, while growth was also recorded on land in North America, primarily from increased Well Services activity. In addition, seasonal year-end strength was seen in software and product sales in a number of GeoMarkets – in particular for SIS software and Artificial Lift products. These increases, however, were partially offset by lower activity in Russia and in the Mexico/Central America GeoMarket.

Fourth-quarter pretax operating income of $1.01 billion was down 3% sequentially. Pretax operating margin decreased 157 basis points (bps) sequentially to 19.5% primarily due to lower activity coupled with a less favorable revenue mix in Russia and in the Mexico/Central America GeoMarket. Pricing concessions made earlier in the year also contributed to the sequential decrease in margins.

Fourth Quarter 2008 ResultsNorth America

 

Fourth-quarter revenue of $6.26$873 million was 6% higher sequentially. Pretax operating income of $18.0 million was down 35% sequentially.

Sequentially, US Land GeoMarket revenue grew on increased drilling activity, the impact of which was partially diluted by lower pricing for Well Services technologies. US Gulf of Mexico GeoMarket revenue was up marginally as improved shelf activity and the beginning of a build-up in deepwater activity were hampered by downtime associated with Hurricane Ida as well as by some pricing pressure. Canada revenue was flat while Alaska GeoMarket revenue fell sequentially due to a slowdown in activity resulting from operator budget constraints.

Pretax operating margin decreased 129 bps sequentially to 2.1% as the increased activity in the US Land and Gulf of Mexico GeoMarkets was insufficient to offset the impact of a less favorable revenue mix in Canada and lower activity in the Alaska GeoMarket.

Latin America

Fourth-quarter revenue of $1.13 billion increased 5% sequentially. Pretax operating income of $178 million was down 9% sequentially.

Sequentially, Peru/Colombia/Ecuador GeoMarket revenue grew primarily on greater demand for Drilling & Measurements, Wireline and Testing Services technologies resulting from increased drilling activity. Higher SIS software and Artificial Lift product sales also contributed to this growth. Brazil revenue was higher due to increased offshore exploration activity as well as to SIS software and Completions product sales. Venezuela/Trinidad & Tobago GeoMarket recorded growth mainly from Integrated Project Management (IPM) activity while Argentina/Bolivia/Chile revenue was higher due to increased activity and SIS product sales. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in Mexico/Central America revenue as a result of reduced activity.

Pretax operating margin decreased 254 bps sequentially to 15.8% primarily as the result of the reduced activity and a less favorable revenue mix in the Mexico/Central America GeoMarket, which was only partly offset by the impact of increased activity and software and product sales in the rest of the Area.

Sequentially, revenue growth was driven by an increase in deepwater and exploration-related activity that led to strong demand for Wireline services. Seasonal year-end SIS software and Artificial Lift product sales also contributed to the increase in revenue.

Pretax operating margin improved 66 bps sequentially to 32.4% primarily as the result of the more favorable mix of deepwater and exploration-related activity in addition to year-end SIS software sales.

WesternGeco

Fourth-quarter revenue of $549 million increased 19% sequentially. Pretax operating income of $115 million increased 89% sequentially.

Sequential revenue growth was led by Multiclient which recorded strong year-end sales of wide-azimuth surveys in the US Gulf of Mexico. Land revenue also grew due to increased activity in the Middle East and North Africa. These increases, however, were partially offset by a significant decrease in Marine as the result of weaker pricing, project start-up delays and vessel transits.

Pretax operating margin improved 776 bps sequentially to 20.9% primarily as a result of the high Multiclient sales that were partially offset by the impact of the lower pricing and project delays in Marine.

Growth was led by the US land West GeoMarket mostly due to increased gas shale activity that resulted in robust demand for Well Services and Drilling & Measurements technologies and by the US land Central GeoMarket on higher rig activity and strong Artificial Lift product sales. The Canada GeoMarket revenue was higher from demand for Well Services and Drilling & Measurements technologies while the US Gulf of Mexico GeoMarket grew on increased deepwater activity the resulted in strong demand for Drilling & Measurements and Wireline services in addition to Completion Systems products.

Pretax operating margin decreased 557 bps to 23.2% primarily as the result of lower pricing for well stimulation services in the US land GeoMarkets and cost inflation across the Area.

 

Latin America

 

Revenue of $4.23 billion was 28% higher than 2007 on double-digit growth across all GeoMarkets. The Mexico/Central America GeoMarket increased on significantly higher IPM activity while the Peru/Colombia/Ecuador GeoMarket also experienced increased IPM activity in addition to robust demand for Wireline services and for Artificial Lift products and SIS products.software. The Brazil GeoMarket grew on higher offshore activity that resulted in stronger demand for Well Testing, Wireline and Well Services technologies. The Venezuela/Trinidad and Tobago GeoMarket experienced increased demand for Wireline, Drilling & Measurements and Well Services activities.

Part II, Item 7 

Pretax operating margin of 20.3% declined 262 bps versus 2007 as a result of an increased mix of low-margin third-party managed services in the Mexico/Central America GeoMarket and cost inflation across the Area.

 

Europe/CIS/Africa

 

Revenue of $8.18 billion increased 24% versus the same period last year. Growth was led by Russia which experienced strong demand for Wireline, Well Services and Drilling & Measurements technologies. The West & South Africa, North Sea and Caspian GeoMarkets grew on increased exploration-related services as well as strong demand for Well Services technologies. The Continental Europe GeoMarket was higher due to strong drilling-related activities and demand for SIS products.offerings. The consolidation of Framo also contributed to the increase.

Part II, Item 7 

Pretax operating margin decreased 112 bps to 27.4% primarily as a result of reduced pricing in the Libya GeoMarket and a less favorable revenue mix in the Nigeria & Gulf of Guinea GeoMarket and Russia. The consolidation of Framo also reduced total Area margin.

 

Middle East & Asia

 

Revenue of $5.72 billion was 18% higher than the prior year. All GeoMarkets experienced growth, most notably in the Arabian, Australia/Papua New Guinea/New Zealand, Gulf, and East Mediterranean GeoMarkets. Among the Technologies, growth was strongest in Wireline, Drilling & Measurements, Well Services and Well Testing.

Pretax operating margin was nearly flat at 35.0% as the positive impact of the higher overall activity level was offset by cost inflation.

 

Total Year 2007 Results

Full-year 2007 revenue of $20.31 billion increased 21% versus 2006, led by Area growths of 31% in both the Middle East & Asia, and in Europe/CIS/Africa and 29% in Latin America, while North America remained essentially flat. Pretax operating income of $5.96 billion in 2007 was 28% higher than 2006.

Pretax operating margins of 29.3% improved 164 bps in 2007 versus 2006. Higher activity and expansion of higher-margin new technology deployment across Europe/CIS/Africa, Middle East & Asia and Latin America Areas were the principal contributors to this performance. In North America, pricing erosion in pressure-pumping well-stimulation activities moderated year-on-year margin growth within the Area.

Among the GeoMarkets, the greatest increases in revenue were recorded in the North Sea, followed by Mexico/Central America, Arabian, West & South Africa, and Venezuela/Trinidad & Tobago.

Significant demand was seen for all Technologies led by Drilling & Measurements, Wireline, Well Testing, and Completions Systems as customers continued to improve exploration and production performance in the search for new hydrocarbon reserves and in the need to increase production and boost recovery from existing fields.

North America

Revenue of $5.34 billion increased marginally over 2006 primarily due to higher demand for Drilling & Measurements, Well Testing and Wireline activities in the US Land Central, US Land North and the US Gulf Coast GeoMarkets. However, this performance was offset by pricing erosion in well stimulation activities across the Area.

Activity across US Land continued to grow driven by the increase in rig count and higher service intensity in unconventional natural gas reservoirs. However, weakness in natural gas prices and excess well stimulation related pressure pumping capacity led to a year-on-year decline in pricing in stimulation related activities. The US Gulf Coast GeoMarket continued to grow driven by demand for exploration related activities.

In Canada year-on-year revenue declined sharply due to operator slowdown driven by weakness in natural gas prices and uncertainty over the fiscal regime.

Pretax operating margin declined by 167 bps to 28.8% primarily due to lower pricing in well stimulation related activities across the Area together with lower activity in Canada.

Latin America

Revenue of $3.30 billion in 2007 increased 29% over 2006, led by a surge in IPM-related activity in Mexico following the budget-related slowdowns in the previous year, followed by the growth in exploration-related activities in the Peru/Columbia/Ecuador and Latin America South GeoMarkets. The Venezuela/Trinidad & Tobago GeoMarket also grew with higher rig count-driven activity in addition to finalization of the contracts related to drilling barges.

Part II, Item 7 

The Mexico/Central America GeoMarket recorded robust growth with the start of several integrated projects. Peru/Columbia/Ecuador and Latin America South witnessed strong growth in exploration-related activities. Demand was strong for all Technologies led by IPM, followed by Drilling & Measurements, Wireline and Well Testing services.

Pretax operating margin increased strongly by 358 bps to reach 22.9%. This increase resulted mainly from a favorable activity mix and improved pricing.

Europe/CIS/Africa

Revenue of $6.60 billion in 2007 increased 31% over 2006 with the highest growth recorded in the North Sea, West & South Africa and North Africa GeoMarkets.

Strong revenue increases were recorded in the North Sea, West & South Africa and North Africa driven by the expansion of exploration-related activities. GeoMarkets in Russia continued to grow strongly due to a combination of organic growth and the completion of the acquisition of Tyumenpromgeofizika during the second quarter of the year.

Pretax operating margins increased by 301 bps to reach 28.6%. This performance was due to a combination of increased activity, improved pricing and accelerated new technology deployment across most GeoMarkets partially offset by a pricing decline in well stimulation activities in the East Russia and subdued activity in Nigeria.

Middle East & Asia

Revenue of $4.87 billion in 2007 increased 31% over 2006 with the largest increases recorded in the Arabian GeoMarket, followed by East Mediterranean, Australia/Papua New Guinea, Qatar, Gulf and India.

The Australia/Papua New Guinea GeoMarket recorded the highest growth rate in the Area driven by higher exploration related activity. Growth in East Mediterranean, Qatar, Gulf and India resulted from higher exploration and development activity while the Arabian GeoMarket continued to grow, albeit at a lower rate than the previous year, as new rig additions slowed down in Saudi Arabia.

Pretax operating margin increased by 296 bps to an impressive 35.1%. This performance was driven by continued increase in activity and pricing increases together with deployment of higher-margin Wireline and Drilling & Measurements new technologies.

Fourth Quarter 2008 Results

Fourth-quarter revenue of $599 million decreased 33% sequentially and 25% year-on-year. Pretax operating income of $88 million was 75% lower sequentially and 68% lower year-on-year.

Sequentially, Marine revenue decreased significantly due to seasonal vessel transits, dry docks and project startups. Multiclient revenue was also down markedly as customers reduced discretionary spending. Land revenue, however, increased due to higher utilization and the start of new projects in Latin America and Africa while Data Processing recorded modest growth.

Pretax operating margin decreased sequentially from 39.8% to 14.7% due to lower Marine vessel utilization, higher transits and the slowdown in Multiclient sales, the effects of which were only partially offset by the higher Land crew utilization.

Total Year 2008 Results

 

Full-year 2008 revenue of $2.84 billion was 4% lower than 2007. Multiclient revenue was down 18%, primarily as the result of significantly lower client discretionary spending in the fourth quarter of 2008, while Land

Part II, Item 7 

decreased 15% on lower crew utilization. These decreases were partially offset by a 4% revenue increaseincreases in Marine, as a result of additional vessel capacity and higher pricing, and a 19% increase in Data Processing, which experienced a growth in activity in all geographic areas.

Pretax operating margin of 29.5% decreased 634 basis pointsbps due to significantly lower Multiclient sales, reduced Land activity and cost inflation that affected Marine operations.

Revenue backlog was $1.8 billion at the end ofDecember 31, 2008, compared to $1.2 billion at the end of 2007, of which an estimated $1.3 billion is expected to be realized in 2009.

Total Year 2007 Results

Full-year 2007 revenue of $2.96 billion increased 20% versus 2006. Pretax operating income of $1.06 billion in 2007 was 31% higher than 2006. Pretax operating margin reached 35.8% – an increase of 299 bps in 2007 versus 2006 – demonstrating continued high vessel utilization, pricing increases in Marine and accelerating demand for exploration-driven seismic services. Q-Technology revenue reached $1.14 billion, representing 38% of 2007 full-year revenue.

Marine revenue grew 17% due mainly to strong activity in Asia, Middle East, India, Europe and North America as operators continued to focus on new exploration horizons. High vessel utilization, continued adoption of Q-Technology and improved pricing contributed to this performance. Multiclient revenue increased 30% driven by higher sales in North America as the demand for E-Dog and E-Cat surveys remained strong during the first half of the year augmented by strong demand for E-Octopus surveys during the second half. Data Processing revenue increased 26%, reflecting higher acquisition volumes, higher levels of Q processing, and higher activity in India, Asia, North Africa, Europe and the Caspian. Land revenue increased 6% with the continued adoption of Q-Land* technology in Africa and in the Middle East.

During the second quarter of 2007, the seventh Q-Technology equipped vessel – the Western Spirit – was launched.

Revenue backlog was $1.2 billion at the end of 2007 compared to $1.1 billion at the end of 2006.December 31, 2007.

Part II, Item 7 

 

Equity in Net Earnings of Affiliated Companies

 

The equity in net earnings of affiliated companies primarily represents Schlumberger’s share of the results of its 40% interest in the M-I SWACO drilling fluids joint venture with Smith International, Inc.

Part II, Item 7 

Schlumberger’s equity income from this joint venture was $131 million in 2009, $210 million in 2008 and $178 million in 2007. The decrease in equity income relating to this joint venture from 2008 to 2009 was attributable to a significant decline in M-I SWACO activity levels, primarily in its United States and Europe/Africa regions, as well as increased pricing pressures.

 

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense of $221 million in 2009 decreased by $26 million compared to 2008 due to a decline in the weighted average borrowing rates, from 4.5% to 3.9%. The weighted average debt balance of $5.6 billion in 2009 increased $148 million compared to 2008.

Interest expense of $247 million in 2008 decreased by $27$28 million compared to 2007 due to a decline in the weighted average borrowing rates, from 5.0% to 4.5%. The weighted average debt balance of $5.5 billion in 2008 was essentially flat compared to 2007.

Interest expense of $275 million in 2007 increased by $40 million compared to 2006. The weighted average borrowing rates of 5.0% in 2007 increased from 4.6% in 2006. The weighted average debt balance of $5.5 billion in 2007 increased by $420 million compared to 2006, primarily due to the funding, in the second quarter of 2006, of the WesternGeco transaction described in Note 4 to theConsolidated Financial Statements.

 

Other

 

Gross margin was 30.2%23.4%, 30.2% and 33.5% in 2009, 2008 and 31.4%2007, respectively.

The decline in gross margin in 2009 compared to 2008 2007was primarily attributable to lower activity coupled with the impact of a significant reduction in pricing across all of Oilfield Services, most notably in North America and 2006, respectively.Europe/CIS/Africa. Weaker Marine activity and pricing and reduced Multiclient sales in WesternGeco also contributed to the margin decline.

The decline in gross margin percentage in 2008, compared to 2007, was primarily attributable to the following factors: reduced pricing for well stimulation services in the US Land GeoMarkets, a higher mix of low-margin third-party managed services in the Mexico/Central America GeoMarket, significantly lower Multiclient sales in WesternGeco and the impact of cost inflation across all Areas within Oilfield Services as well as the Marine operations of WesternGeco.

The increase in gross margin percentage in 2007, compared to 2006, was primarily due to increased pricing, stronger demand for higher-margin technologies, and operating efficiency improvements.

Income Taxes

 

The Schlumberger effective tax rate was 19.6% in 2009, 20.9% in 2008, and 21.9% in 2007 and 24.0% in 2006.2007.

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

Part II, Item 7 

 

 

The decrease in the Schlumberger effective tax rate in 2008, as compared to 2007, wasover the past two years has been primarily attributable to the geographic mix of earnings. Oilfield Services hadSchlumberger has generated a lower proportion of its pretax earnings in North America. Also,America in each of the last two years. In addition, outside North America, various GeoMarkets with lower tax rates contributed a greater percentage to pretax earnings.

The decrease in the effective tax rate in 2007, as compared to 2006, was primarily attributable to the geographic mix of earnings. Both Oilfield Services and WesternGeco had a lower proportion of pretax earnings in North America. Outside North America, various GeoMarkets with lower tax rateshave contributed a greater percentage to pretax earnings.

On July 22, 2004,April 20, 2006, the Schlumberger Board of Directors of Schlumberger approved a share repurchase program of up to 3040 million shares of common stock to be acquired in the open market before December 2006,April 2010, subject to market conditions. This program was completed during the first quarter of 2006.

On April 20, 2006, the Board of Directors of Schlumberger approved a share repurchase program of up to 40 million shares of common stock to be acquired in the open market before April 2010, subject to market conditions. This program was completed during the second quarter of 2008.

 

On April 17, 2008, the Schlumberger Board of Directors of Schlumberger approved an $8 billion share repurchase program for shares of Schlumberger common stock, to be acquired in the open market before December 31, 2011, of which $934 million has$1.43 billion had been repurchased as of December 31, 2008.

Given the current credit and economic environment, Schlumberger anticipates that the total dollar amount of stock repurchases in 2009 may be significantly less than the $1.8 billion spent during 2008. This anticipated reduction will serve to increase Schlumberger’s financial flexibility during these uncertain times. Stock buy-back activity during 2009 will continue to be targeted to offset any dilution caused by the Schlumberger stock-based compensation programs.

Cash flow provided by operations was $5.3 billion in 2009, $6.9 billion in 2008 and $6.3 billion in 2007 and $4.7 billion2007. The decline in 2006. These improvements werecash flow from operations in 2009 as compared to 2008 was primarily driven by the revenue anddecrease in net income increasesexperienced in 2009 and the significant pension plan contributions made during 2009, offset by an improvement in working capital requirements. The improvement in 2008 as compared to 2007 was driven by the net income increase experienced in 2008 and 2007 offset by required investments in working capital.

 

The reduction in cash flows experienced by some of Schlumberger’s customers as a result of global economic conditions could have significant adverse effects on their financial condition. This could result in, among other things, delay in, or nonpayment of, amounts that are owed to Schlumberger, which could have a material adverse effect on Schlumberger’s results of operations and cash flows. At times in recent quarters, Schlumberger has experienced delays in payments from certain of its customers. Schlumberger operates in approximately 80 countries. At December 31, 2009, only three of those countries individually accounted for greater than 5% of Schlumberger’s accounts receivable balance of which only one represented greater than 10%.

 · 

During 2008 2007 and 2006,2007, Schlumberger announced that its Board of Directors had approved increases in the quarterly dividend of 20%, and 40% and 19%, respectively. Total dividends paid during 2009, 2008 and 2007 and 2006 were $1.0 billion, $964 million $771 million and $568$771 million, respectively.

These increases were a result ofreflected the increasedrecord activity levels experienced in recentthose years. CapitalThe decrease in capital expenditures are expected to approach $3.0 billion in 2009 including $385 million relatingas compared to 2008 is primarily due to the construction of seismic vessels.significant activity decline during 2009.

Oilfield Services capital expenditures are expected to approach $2.4 billion for the full year 2010 as compared to $1.9 billion in 2009 and $3.0 billion in 2008.

Outside of the US, Schlumberger’s International Staff Pension Plan, which was converted to ainternational defined benefit pension plan during the fourth quarter of 2008 (and therefore accounts for approximately half of the increase in the Postretirement Benefits liability on theConsolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2008), and UK pension planplans are a combined 69%85% funded at December 31, 20082009 based on the projected benefit obligation. The UK pension plan was 92%This compares to 69% funded at December 31, 2007.2008.

 

Schlumberger currently anticipates contributing approximately $400$500 million to $500$600 million to its defined benefit pension plans in 2009,2010, subject to market and business conditions.

On December 10, 2007, Schlumberger completed the acquisition of Eastern Echo for $838 million in cash. Net assets acquired included $320 million of cash and investments and $182 million of long-term debt.

 

·

On April 28, 2006, Schlumberger acquired the remaining 30% minority interest in WesternGeco from Baker Hughes Incorporated for $2.4 billion in cash. Approximately 50% of the purchase price was funded from Schlumberger’s cash and investments. The remaining 50% was financed through existing Schlumberger credit facilities.

·

In September 2006, Schlumberger Finance B.V. issued €400 million Guaranteed Floating Rate Notes due 2009. Interest is payable quarterly at the rate of 10 basis points over 3-month Euribor. Schlumberger entered into an agreement to swap these Euro notes for US dollars on the date of issue until maturity, effectively making this US dollar denominated debt on which Schlumberger Finance B.V. will pay interest in US dollars at the rate of 3-month LIBOR plus 0.0875%. The proceeds from these notes were used to repay commercial paper borrowings.

As of December 31, 2008,2009, Schlumberger had approximately $3.7$4.6 billion of cash and short-term investments on hand. Wholly-owned subsidiaries of Schlumberger had separate committed debt facility agreements aggregating $3.9$3.8 billion with commercial banks, of which $1.8$2.8 billion was available and unused as of December 31, 2008.2009. This included $2.5 billion of committed facilities which support commercial paper borrowings in the United States and Europe. Schlumberger believes that these amounts are sufficient to meet future business requirements for at least the next twelve months.

The current portion of long-term debt at December 31, 2008 has increased by $0.5 billion to $1.1 billion, as compared to December 31, 2007. This increase is primarily attributable to the outstanding €400 million Guaranteed Floating Rate Notes due 2009 being reclassified from long-term debt at December 21, 2008 to current at December 31, 2008 due to their maturity in the next twelve months.

Schlumberger’s total outstanding debt at December 31, 20082009 was $5.3$5.5 billion and included approximately $1.1$0.4 billion of commercial paper borrowings. The total outstanding debt decreasedincreased approximately $0.2 billion compared to December 31, 2007.2008.

Represents an estimate of contractual obligations in the ordinary course of business. Although these contractual obligations are considered enforceable and legally binding, the terms generally allow Schlumberger the option to reschedule and adjust their requirements based on business needs prior to the delivery of goods.

 

Refer to Note 19 of theConsolidated Financial Statements for details regarding Schlumberger’s pension and other postretirement benefit obligations.

Part II, Item 7 

As discussed in Note 15 of theConsolidated Financial Statements, included in the SchlumbergerConsolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 20082009 is approximately $877 million$1.03 billion of liabilities associated with uncertain tax positions in the over 100 jurisdictions in which Schlumberger conducts business. Due to the uncertain and complex application of tax regulations, combined with the difficulty in predicting when tax audits throughout the world may be concluded, Schlumberger cannot make reliable estimates of the timing of cash outflows relating to these liabilities.

Schlumberger has outstanding letters of credit/guarantees which 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 Schlumberger 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 Schlumberger to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and 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 Schlumberger about matters that are inherently uncertain. A summary of all of Schlumberger’s significant accounting policies is included in Note 2 to theConsolidated Financial Statements.

Schlumberger 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.

 

Multiclient Seismic Data

 

The WesternGeco segment capitalizes the costs associated with obtaining multiclient seismic data. The carrying value of the multiclient seismic data library at December 31, 2009 and 2008 and 2007 was $287$288 million and $182$287 million, respectively. Such costs are charged toCost of goods sold and servicesrevenue based on the percentage of the total costs to the estimated total revenue that Schlumberger expects to receive from the sales of such data. However, under no circumstances will an individual survey carry a net book value greater than a 4-year straight-line amortized value.

The carrying value of surveys is reviewed for impairment annually as well as when an event or change in circumstance indicates an impairment may have occurred. Adjustments to the carrying value are recorded when it is determined that estimated future revenues, which involve significant judgment on the part of Schlumberger, would not be sufficient to recover the carrying value of the surveys. Significant adverse changes in Schlumberger’s estimated future cash flows could result in impairment charges in a future period. For purposes of performing the annual impairment test of the multiclient library, future cash flows are analyzed primarily based on two pools of surveys: United States and non-United States. The United States and non-United States pools were determined to be the most appropriate level at which to perform the impairment review based upon a number of factors including (i) various macroeconomic factors that influence the ability to successfully market surveys and (ii) the focus of the sales force and related costs. Certain larger surveys, which are typically prefunded by customers, are analyzed for impairment on a survey by survey basis. These surveys are typically significantly prefunded by customers and accordingly, management has determined that it is not appropriate to include them within the United States and non-United States pools for impairment review purposes.

Part II, Item 7 

 

 

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

Schlumberger maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts in order to record accounts receivable at their net realizable value. A significant amount of judgment is involved in recording and making adjustments to this reserve. Allowances have been recorded for receivables believed to be uncollectible, including amounts for the resolution of potential credit and other collection issues such as disputed invoices. Depending on how such potential issues are resolved, or if the financial condition of Schlumberger customers were to deteriorate resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, adjustments to the allowance may be required.

 

Goodwill, Intangible Assets and Long-Lived Assets

 

Schlumberger records as goodwill the excess of purchase price over the fair value of the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (SFAS 142), requires goodwill to beacquired as goodwill. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually as well as when an event or change in circumstance indicates an impairment may have occurred. Goodwill is tested for impairment by comparing the fair value of Schlumberger’s individual reporting units to their carrying amount to determine if there is a potential goodwill impairment. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the implied fair value of the goodwill of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value.

For purposes of performing the impairment test for goodwill, as required by SFAS 142, Schlumberger’s reporting units are primarily the geographic areas comprising the Oilfield Services segment in addition to the WesternGeco segment. Schlumberger estimates the fair value of these reporting units using a discounted cash flow analysis and/or applying various market multiples. Determining the fair value of a reporting unit is a matter of judgment and often involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. Schlumberger’s estimates of the fair value of each of its reporting units were significantly in excess of their respective carrying values at the time of the annual goodwill impairment tests for 2009, 2008 2007 and 2006.2007.

Long-lived assets, including fixed assets and intangible assets, 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, Schlumberger could be required to recognize impairment charges in the future. Schlumberger evaluates the remaining useful life of its intangible assets on a periodic basis to determine whether events and circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining estimated amortization period.

 

Income Taxes

 

Schlumberger’s tax filings are subject to regular audit by the tax authorities in most of the over 100 jurisdictions in which it conducts business. These audits may result in assessments for additional taxes which are resolved with the authorities or, potentially, through the courts. Tax liabilities are recorded based on estimates of additional taxes which will be due upon the conclusion of these audits. Estimates of these tax liabilities 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, it is possible that the ultimate resolution of audits may result in liabilities which could be materially different from these estimates. In such an event, Schlumberger will record additional tax expense or tax benefit in the period in which such resolution occurs.

Part II, Item 7 

 

 

Pension and Postretirement Benefits

 

Schlumberger’s pension and postretirement benefit obligations are described in detail in Note 19 to theConsolidated Financial Statements. The obligations and related costs are calculated using actuarial concepts, which include critical assumptions related to the discount rate, expected return on plan assets and medical cost trend rates. These assumptions are important elements of expense and/or liability measurement and are updated on an annual basis, or upon the occurrence of significant events.

The discount rate Schlumberger uses reflects the prevailing market rate of a portfolio of high-quality debt instruments with maturities matching the expected timing of the payment of the benefit obligations. The following summarizes the discount rates utilized by Schlumberger for its various pension and postretirement benefit plans:

 

 · 

The discount rate utilized to determine the liability for Schlumberger’s United States pension plans and postretirement medical plans was 6.00% at December 31, 2009 and 6.50% at both December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007.2008.

 

 · 

The weighted-average discount rate utilized to determine the liability for Schlumberger’s international pension plans was 5.89% at December 31, 2009 and 6.48% at December 31, 2008 and 5.80% at December 31, 2007.2008.

 

 · 

The weighted-average discount rate utilized to determine expense for Schlumberger’s United States pension plans and postretirement medical plans was increased from 6.00% in 2007 to 6.50% in 2008.2008 to 6.94% in 2009.

 

 · 

The weighted-average discount rate utilized to determine expense for Schlumberger’s international pension plans was increased from 5.20% in 2007 to 5.80% in 2008.2008 to 6.81% in 2009.

 

A higher discount rate decreases the present value of benefit obligations and decreases expense.

The expected rate of return for our retirement benefit plans represents the average rate of return expected to be earned on plan assets over the period that benefits included in the benefit obligation are expected to be paid. The expected rate of return for Schlumberger’s United States pension plans has been determined based upon expectations regarding future rates of return for the investment portfolio, with consideration given to the distribution of investments by asset class and historical rates of return for each individual asset class. The expected rate of return on plan assets for the United States pension plans was 8.50% in 2008both 2009 and 2007.2008. The weighted average expected rate of return on plan assets for the international plans was 8.35% in 2009 and 8.00% in 2008 and 2007.2008. A lower expected rate of return would increase pension expense.

Schlumberger’s medical cost trend rate assumptions are developed based on historical cost data, the near-term outlook and an assessment of likely long-term trends. The overall medical cost trend rate assumption utilized into determine both 2008 and 2007the 2009 postretirement medical expense as well as the postretirement medical liability as of December 31, 2009 was 9%8% graded to 6%5% over the next four years and 5% thereafter.six years.

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

 

Schlumberger is subject to market risks primarily associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and interest rates.

As a multinational company, Schlumberger conducts business in approximately 80 countries. Schlumberger’s functional currency is primarily the US dollar, which is consistent with the oil and gas industry. Approximately 80% of Schlumberger’s revenue in 20082009 was denominated in US dollars. However, outside the United States, a significant portion of Schlumberger’s expenses is incurred in foreign currencies. Therefore, when the US dollar weakens in relation to the foreign currencies of the countries in which Schlumberger conducts business, the US dollar-reported expenses will increase.

A 5% changeincrease or decrease in the average exchange rates of all the foreign currencies in 20082009 would have changed revenue by approximately 1%. If the 20082009 average exchange rates of the US dollar against all foreign currencies had strengthened by 5%, Schlumberger’s income from continuing operations would have increased by approximately 2%4%. Conversely, a 5% weakening of the US dollar average exchange rates would have decreased income from continuing operations by approximately 3%4%.

Although the functional currency of Schlumberger’s operations in Venezuela is the US dollar, a portion of the transactions are denominated in local currency. For financial reporting purposes, such transactions are remeasured into US dollars at the official exchange rate, which until January 2010 was fixed at 2.15 Venezuelan bolivares fuertes per US dollar, despite significant inflation in recent periods. In January 2010, Venezuela’s currency was devalued and a new currency exchange rate system was announced. Schlumberger is in the process of evaluating what exchange rate will apply to Schlumberger’s local currency denominated transactions. Such rate is expected to be between 2.6 and 4.3 Venezuelan bolivars fuertes per US dollar. Schlumberger does not expect the immediate impact of this devaluation to have a significant impact on its first quarter 2010 results of operations. Going forward, although this devaluation will result in a reduction in the US dollar reported amount of local currency denominated revenues and expenses, the impact will not be material to Schlumberger’s consolidated financial statements.

Schlumberger maintains a foreign-currency risk management strategy that uses derivative instruments to protect its interests from unanticipated fluctuations in earnings and cash flows caused by volatility in currency exchange rates. Foreign currency forward contracts and foreign currency options to provide a hedge against currency fluctuations either on monetary assets/liabilities denominated in other than a functional currency or on expenses.

At December 31, 2008,2009, contracts were outstanding for the US dollar equivalent of $2.9$4.3 billion in various foreign currencies. These

Schlumberger is subject to the risk of market price fluctuations of certain commodities, such as metals and fuel. Schlumberger utilizes forward contracts mature on various dates in 2009.to manage a small percentage of the price risk associated with forecast metal purchases. As of December 31, 2009, $4 million of commodity forward contracts were outstanding.

Schlumberger is subject to interest rate risk on its debt and its investment portfolio. Schlumberger maintains an interest rate risk management strategy that generally does not involve derivatives and instead primarily uses a mix of variable and fixed rate debt combined with its investment portfolio and interest rate swaps to mitigate the exposure to changes in interest rates. At

Part II, Item 7A 

December 31, 2008,2009, Schlumberger had fixed rate debt aggregating approximately $2.2$4.2 billion and variable rate debt aggregating approximately $3.1$1.3 billion. Schlumberger has entered into interest rate swaps relating to $1.1 billion of its fixed rate debt as of December 31, 2009 whereby Schlumberger will receive interest at a fixed rate and pay interest at a variable rate.

Schlumberger’s exposure to interest rate risk associated with its debt is also partially mitigated by its investment portfolio. BothShort-term investments andFixed income investments,held to maturity, which totaled approximately $4.0$5.1 billion at December 31, 2008,2009, are comprised primarily of money market funds, eurodollar time deposits, certificates of deposit, commercial paper, euro notes and Eurobonds and are substantially all denominated in US dollars. The average return on investment was 3.5%1.4% in 2008.2009.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

1.    Business Description

 

Schlumberger Limited (Schlumberger N.V., incorporated in the Netherlands Antilles) and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Schlumberger”) form the world’s leading supplier of technology, integrated project management, and information solutions to customers in the oil and gas industry worldwide.worldwide, providing the industry’s widest range of services and products from exploration through production. Schlumberger consists of two business segments: Oilfield Services (“OFS”) and WesternGeco. The Oilfield Services segment provides the industry’s widest range of exploration and production services required during the life of an oil and gas reservoir. WesternGeco provides comprehensive worldwide reservoir imaging, monitoring, and development services, with extensive seismic crews and data processing centers as well as a large multiclient seismic library. Services range from 3D and time-lapse (4D) seismic surveys to multi-component surveys for delineating prospects and reservoir management.

 

2.    Summary of Accounting Policies

 

TheConsolidated Financial Statements of Schlumberger Limited (“Schlumberger”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanyingConsolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Schlumberger, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and subsidiaries over which it exercises a controlling financial interest. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Investments in entities in which Schlumberger does not have a controlling financial interest, but over which it has significant influence are accounted for using the equity method. Schlumberger’s share of the after-tax earnings of equity method investees is included inInterest and other income. Investments in which Schlumberger does not have the ability to exercise significant influence are accounted for using the cost method. Both equity and cost method investments are classified inInvestments in Affiliated Companies.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain items from prior years have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, Schlumberger evaluates its estimates, including those related to collectibility of accounts receivable; valuation of inventories and investments; recoverability of goodwill, intangible assets and investments in affiliates; income taxes; multiclient seismic data; contingencies and actuarial assumptions for employee benefit plans. Schlumberger bases its estimates on historical experience and on various 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 results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Part II, Item 8 

 

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Oilfield Services

 

Services and Products Revenue

 

Schlumberger recognizes revenue for services and products based upon purchase orders, contracts or other persuasive evidence of an arrangement with the customer that include fixed or determinable prices. Revenue is recognized for services when they are rendered and collectibility is reasonably assured. Revenue is recognized for products upon delivery, customer acceptance and when collectibility is reasonably assured.

 

Software Revenue

 

Revenue derived from the sale of licenses of Schlumberger software may include installation, maintenance, consulting and training services.

If services are not essential to the functionality of the software, the revenue for each element of the contract is recognized separately based on its respective vendor specific objective evidence of fair value when all of the following conditions are met: a signed contract is obtained, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable and collectibility is probable.

If an ongoing vendor obligation exists under the license arrangement, or if any uncertainties with regard to customer acceptance are significant, revenue for the related element is deferred based on its vendor specific objective evidence of fair value. Vendor specific objective evidence of fair value is determined as being the price for the element when sold separately. If vendor specific objective evidence of fair value does not exist for all undelivered elements, all revenue is deferred until sufficient evidence exists or all elements have been delivered.

The percentage of completion method of accounting is applied to contracts whereby software is being customized to a customer’s specifications.

 

WesternGeco

 

Revenue from all services is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured. Revenue from contract services performed on a dayrate basis is recognized as the service is performed. Revenue from other contract services, including pre-funded multiclient surveys, is recognized as the seismic data is acquired and/or processed on a proportionate basis as work is performed. This method requires revenue to be recognized based upon quantifiable measures of progress, such as square kilometers acquired. Multiclient data surveys are licensed or sold to customers on a non-transferable basis. Revenue on completed multiclient data surveys is recognized upon obtaining a signed licensing agreement and providing customers with access to such data.

 

Multiple Deliverable Arrangements

 

Revenue in both segments may be generated from contractual arrangements that include multiple deliverables. Revenue from these arrangements is recognized as each item is delivered based on their relative fair value and when the delivered items have stand-alone value to the customer.

 

Other

 

Taxes assessed by governmental authorities that are imposed concurrently on specific revenue-producing transaction, such as sales and value added taxes, are excluded from revenue in theConsolidated Statement of Income.

Part II, Item 8 

 

Translation of Non-United States Currencies

 

The functional currency of Schlumberger is primarily the US dollar. All assets and liabilities recorded in functional currencies other than US dollars are translated at current exchange rates. The resulting

Part II, Item 8 

adjustments are charged or credited directly to theStockholders’ Equity section of theConsolidated Balance Sheet. Revenue and expenses are translated at the weighted-average exchange rates for the period. All realized and unrealized transaction gains and losses are included in income in the period in which they occur. Transaction gains, net of hedging activities, of $41$73 million, $8 million and $17 million were recognized in 2008. In2009, 2008 and 2007 and 2006, the transaction losses net of hedging activities were $17 million and $20 million, respectively.

 

Investments

 

TheConsolidated 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 that are considered trading (December 31, 2008—$1942009 – $184 million; December 31, 2007—$2012008 – $194 million). BothShort-term investments andFixed Income Investments, held to maturity are comprised primarily of money market funds, eurodollar time deposits, certificates of deposit, commercial paper, euro notes and Eurobonds, and are substantially denominated in US dollars. They are stated at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates market. Short-term investments that are designated as trading are stated at market.fair value, which is estimated using quoted market prices for those or similar investments. The unrealized gains/losses on investments designated as trading were not significant at both December 31, 20082009 and 2007.2008.

For purposes of theConsolidated Statement of Cash Flows, Schlumberger does not consider short-term investments to be cash equivalents as a significant portion of them have original maturities in excess of three months.

Long-term fixed income investmentsFixed Income Investments, held to maturity at December 31, 2009 of $470$738 million mature as follows: $140 million in 2010, $202$274 million in 2011, and $128$289 million in 2012.2012, $60 million in 2013 and $115 million in 2014.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories are stated at average cost or at market, whichever is lower. Inventory consists of materials, supplies and finished goods. Costs included in inventories consist of materials, direct labor and manufacturing overhead.

 

Fixed Assets and Depreciation

 

Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation, which is provided for by charges to income over the estimated useful lives of the assets using the straight-line method. Fixed assets include the manufacturing cost of oilfield technical equipment manufactured or assembled by subsidiaries of Schlumberger. Expenditures for replacements and improvements are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operating expenses as incurred. Upon sale or other disposition, the applicable amounts of asset cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the net amount, less proceeds from disposal, is charged or credited to income.

 

Multiclient Seismic Data

 

The multiclient library consists of completed and in-process seismic surveys that are licensed on a nonexclusive basis. This data may be acquired and/or processed by Schlumberger or subcontractors. Multiclient surveys are primarily generated utilizing Schlumberger resources. Schlumberger capitalizes costs directly incurred in acquiring and processing the multiclient seismic data. Such costs are charged toCost of goods sold and servicesrevenue based on the percentage of the total costs to the estimated total revenue that

Part II, Item 8 

Schlumberger expects to receive from the sales of such data. However, under no circumstance will an individual survey carry a net book value greater than a 4- year straight-line amortized value.

The carrying value of the multiclient 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 involves significant judgment on the

Part II, Item 8 

part of Schlumberger, would not be sufficient to recover the carrying value of the surveys. Significant adverse changes in Schlumberger’s estimated future cash flows could result in impairment charges in a future period.

 

Goodwill, Other Intangibles and Long-lived Assets

 

Schlumberger records as goodwill the excess of purchase price over the fair value of the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 142,acquired as goodwill. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS 142), requires goodwill to beis tested for impairment annually as well as when an event or change in circumstance indicates an impairment may have occurred. Goodwill is tested for impairment by comparing the fair value of Schlumberger’s individual reporting units to their carrying amount to determine if there is a potential goodwill impairment. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the implied fair value of the goodwill of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value.

For purposes of performing the impairment test for goodwill, as required by SFAS 142, the Schlumberger reporting units are primarily the geographic areas comprising the Oilfield Services segment in addition to the WesternGeco segment. Schlumberger estimates the fair value of these reporting units using a discounted cash flow analysis and/or applying various market multiples. Determining the fair value of a reporting unit is a matter of judgment and involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. Schlumberger’s estimates of the fair value of each of its reporting units were significantly in excess of their respective carrying values for 2009, 2008 2007 and 2006.2007. Schlumberger performs the annual goodwill impairment test of its WesternGeco reporting unit on October 1st of every year while the reporting units comprising the Oilfield Services segment are tested as of December 31st.

Long-lived assets, including fixed assets and intangible assets, 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 involve 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, Schlumberger could be required to recognize impairment charges in the future.

Schlumberger capitalizes certain costs of internally developed software. Capitalized costs include purchased materials and services, payroll and payroll related costs. The costs of internally developed software are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life, which is principally 5 to 7 years. Other intangible assets consist primarily of technology and customer relationships acquired in business combinations. Acquired technology is generally amortized over periods ranging from 5 to 15 years and acquired customer relationships are generally amortized over periods ranging from 7 years to 20 years.

 

Taxes on Income

 

Schlumberger and its subsidiaries computecomputes taxes on income in accordance with the tax rules and regulations of the many taxing authorities where the income is earned. The income tax rates imposed by these taxing authorities vary substantially. Taxable income may differ from pretax income for financial accounting purposes. To the extent that differences are due to revenue or expense items reported in one period for tax

Part II, Item 8 

purposes and in another period for financial accounting purposes, an appropriate provision for deferred income taxes is made. Any effect of changes in income tax rates or tax laws are included in the provision for income taxes in the period of enactment. When it is more likely than not that a portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized in the future, Schlumberger provides a corresponding valuation allowance against deferred tax assets.

Schlumberger’s tax filings are subject to regular audit by the tax authorities in most of the jurisdictions in which it conducts business. These audits may result in assessments for additional taxes which are resolved

Part II, Item 8 

with the authorities or, potentially, through the courts. Schlumberger 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 which will be due upon the conclusion of these audits. Estimates of these tax liabilities 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, it is possible that the ultimate resolution of audits may result in liabilities which could be materially different from these estimates. In such an event, Schlumberger will record additional tax expense or tax benefit in the year in which such resolution occurs.

Approximately $16At December 31, 2009, approximately $18 billion of consolidated income retained for use in the business on December 31, 2008 represented undistributed earnings of consolidated subsidiaries and Schlumberger’s share of equity method investees. No provision is made forSchlumberger has not recorded deferred income taxes on thoserelating to any of its undistributed earnings as they are all considered to be either indefinitely reinvested or earnings that would not be taxed when remitted.

Effective December 31, 2006, Schlumberger adopted the provisions of SFAS 158,Employer’s Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R) (“SFAS 158”). SFAS 158 required Schlumberger to recognize the funded status (i.e., the difference between the fair value of plan assets and the benefit obligation) of its postretirement benefit plans in itsConsolidated Balance Sheet, with a corresponding adjustment toAccumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss), net of tax.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Schlumberger’s assets that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, short-term investments, fixed income investments held to maturity, receivables from clients and derivative financial instruments. Schlumberger places its cash, short-term investments and fixed income investments held to maturity with financial institutions and corporations, and limits the amount of credit exposure with any one of them. Schlumberger regularly evaluates the creditworthiness of the issuers in which it invests. The receivables from clients are spread over many countries and customers. Schlumberger maintains an allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable based on expected collectibility and performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition. By using derivative financial instruments to hedge exposure to changes in exchange rates and, commodity prices, Schlumberger exposes itself to some credit risk. Schlumberger 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.

Earnings per Share

 

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by first adding back to net income

Part II, Item 8 

the interest expense on the convertible debentures and then dividing this adjusted net income attributable to Schlumberger by the sum of (i) unvested restricted stock units; and (ii) the weighted average number of common shares outstanding assuming dilution. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding assuming dilution assumes (a) that all stock options which are in the money are exercised at the beginning of the period and that the proceeds are used by Schlumberger to purchase shares at the average market price for the period, and (b) the conversion of the convertible debentures.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2007,Effective, January 1, 2009, Schlumberger adopted newly issued accounting guidance that changed the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS 141 (revised 2007),Business Combinations (“SFAS 141(R)”). SFAS 141(R) establishes principlesaccounting for, and requirements for how an acquirer in a business combination recognizes and measures the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any noncontrollingreporting of, minority interest (previously(now referred to as minority interest)noncontrolling interests). Noncontrolling interests are now classified asEquity in the acquiree. The provisions of SFAS 141(R) are effective for business combinations occurring on or after January 1, 2009.SchlumbergerConsolidated Balance Sheet.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 160,Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an Amendment of ARB No. 51(“SFAS 160”). This statement amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the loss of control of

Part II, Item 8 

a subsidiary. Upon its adoption on January 1, 2009, noncontrolling interests will be classified as equity in the Schlumberger financial statements.

SFAS 160The new guidance also changeschanged the way the consolidated income statement is presented by requiring net income to include the net income for both the parent and the noncontrolling interest,interests, with disclosure of both amounts on the consolidated statement of income. The calculation of earnings per share will continuecontinues to be based on income amounts attributable to the parent. The provisions of this standard must be applied retrospectively upon adoption.

Prior period amounts related to noncontrolling interests have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Holders of the Series B debentures may convert their debentures into common stock at a conversion rate of 25.000 shares for each $1,000 of principal (equivalent to

Part II, Item 8 

an initial conversion price of $40.00 per share). The conversion rate may be adjusted for certain events, but it will not be adjusted for accrued interest.

On or after June 6, 2010, Schlumberger may redeem for cash all or part of the debentures, upon notice to the holders, at the redemption prices of 100% of the principal amount of the debentures, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption. On June 1, 2010, June 1, 2013 and June 1, 2018, holders may require Schlumberger to repurchase their Series B debentures. The repurchase price will be 100% of the principal amount of the debentures plus accrued and unpaid interest to the repurchase date. The repurchase price for repurchases on June 1, 2010 will be paid in cash. On the other repurchase dates, Schlumberger may choose to pay the repurchase price in cash or common stock or any combination of cash and common stock. In addition, upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Change (defined as a change in control or a termination of trading of Schlumberger’s common stock), holders may require Schlumberger to repurchase all or a portion of their debentures for an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount of the debentures plus accrued and unpaid interest to the repurchase date. The repurchase price may be paid in cash, Schlumberger common stock (or if Schlumberger is not the surviving entity in a merger, the securities of the surviving entity) or a combination of cash and the applicable securities, at Schlumberger’s option. The applicable securities will be valued at 99% of their market price.

Schlumberger’s option to pay the repurchase price with securities is subject to certain conditions. The debentures will mature on June 1, 2023 unless earlier redeemed or repurchased.

During 2008 and 2007, $95 million and $34 million of the Series B debentures were converted into 2.4 million and 0.9 million shares of Schlumberger common stock, respectively.

At December 31, 2008, thereThere were $321 million of the Series B debentures outstanding.outstanding at both December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008. The fair value of the Series B debentures at December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 was $527 million and $398 million.million, respectively, and was based on quoted market prices.

12.    Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

 

Schlumberger is subjectexposed to market risks primarily associated with changesrelated to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and interest rates. To mitigate these risks, Schlumberger utilizes derivative instruments. Schlumberger does not enter into derivatives for speculative purposes.

 

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

 

As a multinational company, Schlumberger conducts its business in approximately 80 countries. Schlumberger’s functional currency is primarily the US dollar, which is consistent with the oil and gas industry. Approximately 80% of Schlumberger’s revenue in 20082009 was denominated in US dollars. However,

Part II, Item 8 

outside the United States, a significant portion of Schlumberger’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 Schlumberger conducts business, the US dollar – reported expenses will increase.increase (decrease).

Schlumberger is exposed to risks on future cash flows to the extent that local currency expenses exceed revenues denominated in local currency that are other than the functional currency. Schlumberger uses foreign currency forward contracts and foreign currency options to provide a hedge against a portion of these cash flow risks. These contracts are accounted for as cash flow hedges, under the provisions of SFAS No. 133,Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS No. 133), with the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the hedge recorded on theConsolidated Balance Sheetand inOther Comprehensive Income (Loss).Amounts recorded inOther Comprehensive Income (Loss)are reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods that the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the hedged itemhedging instruments, if any, is recorded directly to earnings.

At December 31, 2008,2009, Schlumberger recognized a cumulative net $104$40 million lossgain inStockholders’ EquityAccumulated other comprehensive loss relating to revaluation of foreign currency forward contracts and foreign currency options designated as cash flow hedges, at December 31, 2008.the majority of which is expected to be reclassified into earnings within the next twelve months.

Schlumberger is also exposed to changes in the fair value of assets and liabilities, including certain of its long-term debt, which are denominated in currencies other than the functional currency. Schlumberger uses foreign currency forward contracts and foreign currency options to hedge this exposure as it relates to certain currencies. These contracts are accounted for as fair value hedges under the provisions of SFAS No. 133, with the fair value of the contracts recorded on theConsolidated Balance Sheetand changes in the fair value recognized in theConsolidated Statement of Incomealong with the change in fair value of the hedged item.

At December 31, 2008,2009, contracts were outstanding for the US dollar equivalent of $4.3 billion in various foreign currencies, the majority of which expire on various dates in 2009.currencies.

 

Commodity Price Risk

 

Schlumberger is exposed to the impact of market fluctuations in the price of certain commodities, such as coppermetals and lead.fuel. Schlumberger has entered intoutilizes forward contracts on these commodities to manage a small percentage of the price risk

Part II, Item 8 

associated with forecasted metal purchases. The objective of these contracts is to reduce the variability of cash flows associated with the forecasted purchase of those commoditiescommodities. These contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment under the provisions of SFAS No. 133 and therefore, changes in the fair value of the forward contracts are recorded directly to earnings.

At December 31, 2009, $4 million of commodity forward contracts were outstanding.

 

Interest Rate Risk

 

Schlumberger is subject to interest rate risk on its debt and its investment portfolio. Schlumberger maintains an interest rate risk management strategy that generally does not involve derivatives and instead primarily uses a mix of variable and fixed rate debt combined with its investment portfolio and interest rate swaps to mitigate the exposure to changes in interest rates.

During the third quarter of 2009, Schlumberger entered into interest rate swaps relating to two of its debt instruments. The first swap was for a notional amount of $600 million in order to hedge a portion of the changes in fair value of Schlumberger’s $650 million 6.50% Notes due 2012. Under the terms of this swap agreement, Schlumberger will receive interest at a fixed rate of 6.5% semi-annually and will pay interest semi-annually at a floating rate of one-month LIBOR plus a spread of 4.84%. The second swap was for a notional amount of $450 million in order to hedge changes in the fair value of Schlumberger’s $450 million 3.00% Notes due 2013. Under the terms of this swap, Schlumberger will receive interest at a fixed rate of 3.00% annually and will pay interest quarterly at a floating rate of three-month LIBOR plus a spread of 0.765%.

Part II, Item 8 

These interest rate swaps are designated as fair value hedges of the underlying debt. These derivative instruments are marked to market with gains and losses recognized currently in income to offset the respective losses and gains recognized on changes in the fair value of the hedged debt. This results in no net gain or loss being recognized in theConsolidated Statement of Income.

At December 31, 2008,2009, Schlumberger had fixed rate debt aggregating approximately $2.2$3.2 billion and variable rate debt aggregating approximately $3.1 billion.

Schlumberger’s exposure to$2.3 billion, after taking into account the effects of the interest rate risk associated with its debt is also partially mitigated by its investment portfolio. BothShort-term investments andFixed income investments,held to maturity, which totaled approximately $4.0 billion at December 31, 2008, are comprised primarily of money market funds, eurodollar time deposits, certificates of deposit, commercial paper, euro notes and Eurobonds and are substantially all denominated in US dollars.swaps.

14.    Stock Compensation Plans

 

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

 

Stock Options

 

Key employees are granted stock options under Schlumberger stock option plans. For all of the stock options granted, the exercise price of each option equals the average of the high and low sales prices of Schlumberger stock on the date of grant; an option’s maximum term is generally ten years, and options generally vest in increments over four or five years. The gain on the awards granted during the period from July 2003 to January 2006 is capped at 125% of the exercise price. Awards granted subsequent to January 2006 do not have a cap on any potential gain and generally vest in increments over five years.

The fair value of each stock option grant was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions and resulting weighted-average fair value per share:

Schlumberger adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48,Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“FIN 48”) on January 1, 2007. This interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertain tax positions and requires companies to recognize the impact of a tax position in their financial statements, if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have any impact on the total liabilities or stockholders’ equity of Schlumberger.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of liabilities associated with uncertain tax positions for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 is as follows:

   2008   2007 

Balance at beginning of year

Included in the SchlumbergerConsolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2008 is approximately $877 million of liabilities associated with uncertain tax positions in the over 100 jurisdictions in which Schlumberger conducts business in more than 100 jurisdictions, a number of which have tax laws that are not fully defined and are evolving. This amount excludes $136 million of accrued interest and penalties. All of the unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, would impact the Schlumberger effective tax rate.

Schlumberger classifies interest and penalties relating to uncertain tax positions withinTaxes on income in theConsolidated Statement of Income. During 2008 and 2007, Schlumberger recognized approximately $25 million and $36 million in interest and penalties, respectively.

The following table summarizes the tax years that are either currently under audit or remain open and subject to examination by the tax authorities in the most significant jurisdictions in which Schlumberger operates:

Canada

2002 – 2008

Mexico

2003 – 2008

Russia

2004 – 2008

Saudi Arabia

2001 – 2008

United Kingdom

2005 – 2008

United States

2005 – 2008

In certain of the jurisdictions noted above, Schlumberger operates through more than one legal entity, each of which has different open years subject to examination. The table above presents the open years subject to examination for the most material of the legal entities in each jurisdiction. Additionally, it is important to note that tax years are technically not closed until the statute of limitations in each jurisdiction expires. In the jurisdictions noted above, the statute of limitations can extend beyond the open years subject to examination.

Due to the geographic breadth of the Schlumberger operations, numerous tax audits may be ongoing throughout the world at any point in time. Tax liabilities are recorded based on estimates of additional taxes which will be due upon the conclusion of these audits. Estimates of these tax liabilities 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, it is possible that the ultimate resolution of audits may result in liabilities which could be materially different from these estimates. In such an event, Schlumberger will record additional tax expense or tax benefit in the period in which such resolution occurs.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of liabilities associated with uncertain tax positions for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 is as follows:

The amounts above exclude accrued interest and penalties of $168 million, $136 million and $130 million at December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 respectively. All of the unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, would impact the Schlumberger effective tax rate.

Schlumberger classifies interest and penalties relating to uncertain tax positions withinTaxes on income in theConsolidated Statement of Income. During 2009, 2008 and 2007, Schlumberger recognized approximately $32 million, $25 million and $36 million in interest and penalties, respectively.

17.    Contingencies

 

In July 2007, Schlumberger received an inquiry from the United States Department of Justice (“DOJ”) related to the DOJ’s investigation of whether certain freight forwarding and customs clearance services of Panalpina, Inc., and other companies provided to oil and oilfield service companies, including Schlumberger, violated the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. Schlumberger is cooperating with the DOJ and is conductingcurrently continuing its own investigation with respect to these services.

In 2009, Schlumberger learned that United States officials began a grand jury investigation and an associated regulatory inquiry, both related to certain Schlumberger operations in specified countries that are subject to United States trade and economic sanctions. Schlumberger is cooperating with the governmental authorities and is currently unable to predict the outcome of these matters.

Schlumberger and its subsidiaries are party to various other legal proceedings from time to time. A liability is accrued when a loss is both probable and can be reasonably estimated. At this time the ultimate disposition of these proceedings is not determinable and therefore, it is not possible to estimate the amount of loss or range of possible losses that might result from an adverse judgment or settlement in any of these matters. However, in the opinion of management, any liability that might ensue would not be material in relation to Schlumberger’s consolidated liquidity, financial position or future results of operations.

 

18.    Segment Information

 

Schlumberger operates two business segments: Oilfield Services and WesternGeco.

The Oilfield Services segment falls into four clearly defined economic and geographical areas and is evaluated on the following basis: North America, is a major self-contained market; Latin America, comprises regional markets that share a common dependence on the oil and gas industry; Europe is a major self-contained market that includesincluding the CIS and Africa, whose economy is increasingly linked to that of Europe;and Middle East & Asia includes the remainder of the Eastern Hemisphere, which consists of many countries at different stages of economic development that share a common dependence on the oil and gas industry.Asia. The Oilfield Services segment provides virtually all exploration and production services required during the life of an oil and gas reservoir.

The WesternGeco segment provides comprehensive worldwide reservoir imaging, monitoring and development services with extensive seismic crews and data processing centers, as well as a large multiclient seismic library. Services range from 3D and time-lapse (4D) seismic surveys to multi-component surveys for delineating prospects and reservoir management.

During each of the three years ended December 31, 2008,2009, no single customer exceeded 10% of consolidated revenue.

Schlumberger did not have revenue from third-party customers in its country of domicile during the last three years. Revenue in the United States in 2009, 2008 and 2007 and 2006 was $3.7 billion, $5.9 billion $5.6 billion and $5.2$5.6 billion, respectively.

19.    Pension and Other Benefit Plans

 

Pension Plans

 

Schlumberger and its United States subsidiary sponsorsponsors several defined benefit pension plans that cover substantially all U.S. employees hired prior to October 1, 2004. The benefits are based on years of service and compensation, on a career-average pay basis.

Part II, Item 8 

In addition to the United States defined benefit pension plans, Schlumberger sponsors several other international defined benefit pension plans. The most significant of these international plans are the International Staff Pension Plan, which was converted from a defined contribution plan to a defined benefit

Part II, Item 8 

pension plan during the fourth quarter of 2008, and the UK pension plan (collectively, the “International plans”). The International Staff Pension Plan covers certain international employees 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 the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets used to determine the net pension cost for the US and International (“Int’l”) plans were as follows:

Due to the actions taken by Schlumberger to reduce its global workforce (See Note 3 –Charges and Credits), Schlumberger experienced a significant reduction in the expected aggregate years of future service of its employees in certain of its pension plans and its postretirement medical plan. Accordingly, Schlumberger recorded a curtailment charge of $136 million during the second quarter of 2009 ($130 million relating to the pension plans and $6 million relating to the postretirement medical plan). The curtailment charge includes recognition of the change in benefit obligations as well as a portion of the previously unrecognized prior service costs, reflecting the reduction in expected future service for the impacted plans. As a result of the curtailment, Schlumberger performed a remeasurement of the impacted plans using a discount rate of 7.25% (as compared to 6.50% at December 31, 2008). All other significant assumptions were unchanged from December 31, 2008 measurement date.

As the International Staff Pension Plan was converted to a defined benefit pension plan during the fourth quarter of 2008, the net pension cost included above for this pension plan was not significant in 2008.

The weighted-average assumed discount rate and compensation increases used to determine the projected benefit obligations for the US and International plans were as follows:

The underfunded/overfundedfunded status position 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.

plans. The asset allocation objectives are to diversifypolicy does not permit the portfolio among several asset classes to reduce volatility while maintaining an asset mix that provides the highest expected rate of return consistent with an acceptable level of risk. There is nodirect investment of any plan assets in any Schlumberger common stock.security. Schlumberger’s investment horizon is long-term and accordingly the target asset allocations encompass a strategic, long-term perspective of capital markets, expected risk and return behavior and perceived future economic conditions. The key investment principles of diversification, assessment of risk and targeting the optimal expected returns for given levels of risk are applied. The target asset allocation strategy is reviewed at least annually. Other investments above consist primarilyperiodically and is determined based on a

long-term projection of alternative investmentscapital market outcomes, inflation rates, fixed income yields, returns, volatilities and correlation relationships. The inclusion of any given asset class in the target asset allocation is considered in relation to its impact on the overall risk/return characteristics as well as its impact on the overall investment return. As part of its strategy, Schlumberger may utilize certain derivative instruments, such as real estateoptions, futures, swaps and private equity.forwards, within the plans to manage risks (currency, interest rate, etc.) or as a substitute for physical securities or to obtain exposure to different markets.

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 long-term rate of return on assets assumptions reflect the average rate of earnings expected on funds invested or to be invested. The assumptions have been determined by reflecting expectations regarding future rates of return for the portfolio considering the asset distributionallocation and related historical rates of return. The appropriateness of the assumptions is reviewed annually.

The fair values presented above were determined based on valuation techniques categorized as follows:

·

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.

·

Level three: The use of significantly unobservable inputs and that typically require the use of management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing.

Part II, Item 8 

 

 

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

The management of Schlumberger Limited 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. Schlumberger Limited’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.

Schlumberger Limited management assessed the effectiveness of ourits internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008.2009. In making this assessment, it used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) inInternal Control—Control – Integrated Framework.Framework. Based on ourthis assessment we haveSchlumberger Limited management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2008, our2009, its internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria.

The effectiveness of Schlumberger Limited’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008,2009, has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which appears herein.

Part II, Item 8 

 

 

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

of Schlumberger Limited

 

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheetsheets and the related consolidated statements of income, of stockholders’ equity and of cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Schlumberger Limited and its subsidiaries at December 31, 20082009 and 2007,2008, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 20082009 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, 2008,2009, based on criteria established inInternal Control—Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting appearing on page 68 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.Reporting. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements and on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. 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.

As discussed in Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed its method of accounting for uncertainty in income taxes on January 1, 2007. Additionally, as discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed its method of accounting for defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans on December 31, 2006.

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 control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the 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.

Part II, Item 8 

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.
