On June 15, 2004, Andrew Gould, Chairman and CEO of Schlumberger Limited (“Schlumberger”) and other members of the Schlumberger management team will host an investor event at the Schlumberger-Doll Research Center in Ridgefield, Connecticut. A copy of the presentations by Andrew Gould, Chakib Sbiti and Dalton Boutte are attached as Exhibit 99.1. Schlumberger has also posted this information on its website at www.slb.com/ir. A transcript of the event’s Q& A session will be posted on the web site later in the day.

 

The attached presentation and other statements Schlumberger makes contain forward looking statements, which include any statements that are not historical facts, such as Schlumberger’s expectations regarding business outlook; revenue, earnings and sales growth for Schlumberger as a whole and for each of Oilfield Services, Schlumberger Information Solutions and WesternGeco; after-tax return on sales; return on capital employed; opportunities for geographic growth; opportunities for growth in technology, in Schlumberger’s customer base and in new business models; Schlumberger’s ability to maintain a competitive advantage in technology; Schlumberger’s ability to expand its project management services; the use of free cash, the growth in revenues at WesternGeco due to Q seismic technology; oil and natural gas demand and production growth; operating and capital expenditures by the oil and gas industry; the business strategies of Schlumberger’s customers; the benefits of the GeoMarket organizational structure; pricing; and future results of operations. These statements involve risks and uncertainties, including,


but not limited to, the extent and timing of a rebound in the global economy; changes in exploration and production spending by Schlumberger’s customers; changes in the level of oil and natural gas exploration and development; improved pricing and realization of cost reduction and cost savings targets associated with the seismic business; general economic and business conditions in key regions of the world, including the Middle East, the Caspian, Russia, China and Venezuela; political and economic uncertainty in Venezuela and Nigeria and further socio-political unrest in the Persian Gulf and/or Asia; terrorism; and other factors detailed in Schlumberger’s most recent Form 10-K, Form 10-Q and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. If one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize (or the consequences of such a development changes), or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual outcomes may vary materially from those forecasted or expected. Schlumberger disclaims any intention or obligation to update publicly or revise such statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
