Schlumberger

The world’s largest oilfield services company, Schlumberger Ltd., is taking on climate change, announcing it will commit to reducing its emissions using science-based targets.

Schlumberger Ltd., the world’s largest oilfield services operator, beat revenue expectations during the third quarter but pre-tax charges resulted in a huge loss, including a $1.6 billion charge in the North American hydraulic fracturing business.

Schlumberger Ltd., the No. 1 oilfield services (OFS) operator in the world, is forecasting a sharp pullback in U.S. and Canadian onshore activity this year, while domestic offshore and overseas activity are on an upward trajectory.

Soft pricing and lower onshore activity pressured Schlumberger Ltd.’s North American results in the first quarter, and there’s likely to be a continued downturn in the land business this year, CEO Paal Kibsgaard warned Thursday.

Schlumberger Ltd. is taking its reservoir technology and combining it with industrial automation and information created by Rockwell Automation to help oil and natural gas customers improve the value of their investments.

Natural gas production in a former darling of the onshore unconventionals, the Haynesville Shale, is getting serious looks from new suitors, including operators looking for export stores, with production on course to hit record heights, according to Rystad Energy.

Schlumberger Ltd. is signaling a sharper-than-expected sequential decline in profits for the fourth quarter because of a “significantly larger drop in activity” than expected, a top executive said Tuesday.

North America onshore operations are set to surge this year for Schlumberger Ltd., as it readies more horsepower and expands capacity for sold-out rotary steerables and drillbit technologies, CEO Paal Kibsgaard said Friday.

Weatherford International plc has sold its U.S. pressure pumping and pump-down perforating assets to a subsidiary of Schlumberger Ltd. for $430 million, scrapping a plan initiated in early 2017 to partner in the domestic arena.
