Forward-Looking Statements

The attached presentation contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws, which include any statements that are not historical facts, such as Schlumberger’s forecasts or expectations regarding business outlook; growth for Schlumberger as a whole and for each of Oilfield Services and WesternGeco (and for specified products or geographic areas within each segment); offshore oil and gas exploration and development; the integration of both Smith and Geoservices into our business; the anticipated benefits of those transactions; oil and natural gas demand and production growth; oil and gas prices; amortization expense; operating margins; Schlumberger’s effective tax rate; Schlumberger’s stock repurchase plan; expected dividend payments; capital expenditures by Schlumberger and the oil and gas industry; the business strategies of Schlumberger’s customers; future global economic conditions; and future results of operations. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the current global economic downturn; changes in exploration and production spending by Schlumberger’s customers and changes in the level of oil and natural gas exploration and development; general economic and business conditions in key regions of the world; pricing erosion; seasonal factors; the ability to introduce new technologies; changes in government regulations and regulatory requirements, including those related to offshore oil and gas exploration, radioactive sources, explosives, chemicals, hydraulic fracturing services and climate-related initiatives; integration of acquired businesses and operations of joint ventures; the timing of the realization of expected synergies from acquisitions; and other risks and uncertainties described in this presentation, as well as under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and elsewhere in our most recent Form 10-K and Form 10-Q. 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.
