NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Schlumberger Limited and its subsidiaries (“Schlumberger”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of Schlumberger management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement have been included in the accompanying unaudited financial statements. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Operating results for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2014. The December 31, 2013 balance sheet information has been derived from the Schlumberger 2013 financial statements. For further information, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Schlumberger Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 31, 2014.

Certain prior year items have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. During the second quarter of 2014, Schlumberger revised its Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows to present certain cash outflows relating to Schlumberger Production Management (“SPM”) activities as a separate line item within investing activities, referred to as “SPM investments.” Schlumberger historically presented such cash outflows as an operating activity. This change is not considered material to prior periods.

New Accounting Pronouncement

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This ASU amends the existing accounting standards for revenue recognition and is based on the principle that revenue should be recognized to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration a company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. Schlumberger is required to adopt this ASU on January 1, 2017. Schlumberger does not expect this ASU to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

2. Charges and Credits

Schlumberger recorded the following charges and credits in continuing operations during the first six months of 2013:

Second quarter 2013:

·	Schlumberger recorded a pretax and after-tax gain of $1.028 billion as a result of the deconsolidation of its subsea business in connection with the formation of the OneSubsea joint venture with Cameron International Corporation (“Cameron”). Refer to Note 4 – Acquisitions for further details.

·	Schlumberger recorded a $222 million pretax ($203 million after-tax) impairment charge relating to an investment in a company involved in developing drilling-related technology and a $142 million pretax and after-tax impairment charge relating to an investment in a contract drilling business.

First quarter 2013:

Although the functional currency of Schlumberger’s operations in Venezuela is the US dollar, a portion of the transactions are denominated in local currency. In February 2013, Venezuela’s currency was devalued from the prior exchange rate of 4.3 Bolivar Fuertes per US dollar to 6.3 Bolivar Fuertes per US dollar. As a result of this devaluation, Schlumberger recorded a pretax and after-tax foreign currency loss of $92 million during the first quarter of 2013.

The following is a summary of the charges recorded during the first six months of 2013:

	(Stated in millions)
	Pretax			Tax		Net			Classification
Gain on formation of OneSubsea joint venture	$	(1,028	)	$	—	$	(1,028	)	Gain on formation of OneSubsea
Impairment of equity-method investments		364			19		345		Impairment & other
Currency devaluation loss in Venezuela		92		$	—		92		Impairment & other
	$	(572	)	$	19	$	(591	)

There were no charges or credits recorded in continuing operations during the first six months of 2014.

3. Earnings Per Share

The following is a reconciliation from basic earnings per share of Schlumberger to diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of Schlumberger:

	(Stated in millions, except per share amounts)
	2014						2013
	Schlumberger Income from Continuing Operations		Average Shares Outstanding		Earnings per Share from Continuing Operations		Schlumberger Income from Continuing Operations		Average Shares Outstanding		Earnings per Share from Continuing Operations

Unvested restricted stock		—		4				—		4
Diluted	$	3,392		1,316	$	2.58	$	3,423		1,339	$	2.56

The number of outstanding options to purchase shares of Schlumberger common stock which were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share, because to do so would have had an antidilutive effect, was as follows:

	(Stated in millions)
	2014		2013
Second Quarter		—		13
Six Months		5		13

4. Acquisitions

On June 30, 2013, Schlumberger and Cameron completed the formation of OneSubsea, a joint venture to manufacture and develop products, systems and services for the subsea oil and gas market. Schlumberger and Cameron each contributed all of their respective subsea businesses to the joint venture and Schlumberger made a $600 million cash payment to Cameron. Schlumberger owns 40% of OneSubsea and accounts for this investment under the equity method. Schlumberger recognized a pretax and after-tax gain of $1.028 billion, which is classified as Gain on formation of OneSubsea in the Consolidated Statement of Income, as a result of the deconsolidation of its subsea business. This gain is equal to the difference between the fair value of the Schlumberger subsea business, which was determined based on the present value of its estimated future cash flows, and its carrying value at the time of closing.

During the first six months of 2014 and 2013, Schlumberger made certain other acquisitions and investments, none of which were significant on an individual basis, for cash payments, net of cash acquired, of $471 million and $117 million, respectively. Additionally, during the first six months of 2014, Schlumberger issued 2.1 million shares of its common stock, valued at $213 million, in connection with an acquisition.

11. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

Schlumberger is exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. To mitigate these risks, Schlumberger utilizes derivative instruments. Schlumberger does not enter into derivative transactions for speculative purposes.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

As a multinational company, Schlumberger conducts business in more than 85 countries. Schlumberger’s functional currency is primarily the US dollar, which is consistent with the oil and gas industry. However, 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 (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. In addition, Schlumberger is also exposed to risks on future cash flows relating to certain of its long-term debt which is denominated in currencies 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, with the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the hedge recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss. Amounts recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive 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 hedging instruments, if any, is recorded directly to earnings.

At June 30, 2014, Schlumberger recognized a cumulative net $48 million gain in Equity relating to revaluation of foreign currency forward contracts and foreign currency options designated as cash flow hedges, the majority of which is expected to be reclassified into earnings within the next 12 months.

Schlumberger is also exposed to changes in the fair value of assets and liabilities 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 with the fair value of the contracts recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and changes in the fair value recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income along with the change in fair value of the hedged item.

At June 30, 2014, contracts were outstanding for the US dollar equivalent of $5.8 billion in various foreign currencies, of which $2.5 billion related to hedges of debt denominated in currencies other than the functional currency.

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 uses a mix of variable and fixed rate debt combined with its investment portfolio and occasionally interest rate swaps to mitigate the exposure to changes in interest rates.

During the fourth quarter of 2013, Schlumberger entered into a cross currency swap for a notional amount of €0.5 billion in order to hedge changes in the fair value of Schlumberger’s €0.5 billion 1.50% Guaranteed Notes due 2019. Under the terms of this swap, Schlumberger will receive interest at a fixed rate of 1.50% on the euro notional amount and will pay interest at a floating rate of three-month LIBOR plus approximately 64 basis points on the US dollar notional amount.

This cross currency swap is designated as a fair value hedge of the underlying debt. This derivative instrument is marked to market with gains and losses recognized currently in income to largely offset the respective gains and losses recognized on changes in the fair value of the hedged debt.

At June 30, 2014, Schlumberger had fixed rate debt aggregating $9.1 billion and variable rate debt aggregating $4.1 billion, after taking into account the effect of the swap.

Short-term investments and Fixed income investments, held to maturity, totaled $4.9 billion at June 30, 2014, and were comprised primarily of money market funds, eurodollar time deposits, certificates of deposit, commercial paper, euro notes and Eurobonds, and were substantially all denominated in US dollars. The carrying value of these investments approximated fair value, which was estimated using quoted market prices for those or similar investments.

The fair values of outstanding derivative instruments are as follows:

13. Contingencies

In 2009, United States officials began a grand jury investigation and an associated regulatory inquiry, both related to certain historical Schlumberger operations in specified countries that are subject to United States trade and economic sanctions. Governmental agencies and authorities have a broad range of civil and criminal penalties that they may seek to impose for violations of trade and economic sanction laws including, but not limited to, disgorgement, fines, penalties and modifications to business practices. In recent years, these agencies and authorities have obtained a wide range of penalties in settlements with companies arising from trade and economic sanction investigations, including in some cases fines and other penalties in the tens and hundreds of millions of dollars. Schlumberger continues to cooperate and has been discussing the resolution of this matter with the governmental authorities. During the latter part of the second quarter of 2014, these discussions progressed to a point whereby Schlumberger determined that it was appropriate to increase its liability for this contingency. Accordingly, Schlumberger recorded a $205 million charge during the second quarter of 2014 within Loss from discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statement of Income. However, no certainty exists that a settlement will be reached or if so, the amount of any such settlement. Therefore, the ultimate loss could be greater or less than the amount accrued.

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. Management believes that the probability of a material loss with respect to these other legal proceedings is remote. However, litigation is inherently uncertain and it is not possible to predict the ultimate disposition of any of these proceedings.

Second-quarter revenue of $12.05 billion increased 7% sequentially with International Area revenue of $8.09 billion growing $604 million, or 8% sequentially, while North America revenue of $3.89 billion increased $205 million, or 6% sequentially.

Second-quarter pretax operating income of $2.62 billion increased 11% sequentially. Pretax operating margin increased by 67 basis points (bps) to 21.7% as an increase of 122 bps in the International margin, to 24.0%, was partially offset by a 53 bps reduction in the North America margin, to 18.0%.

North America revenue of $3.89 billion increased 6% sequentially—with North America offshore revenue up 8% after a rebound in drilling activity despite a soft quarter for multiclient seismic sales. US land posted double-digit revenue growth on a 5% increase in rig count combined with improved efficiency and market share gains that was partially offset by the seasonal decline in activity in Western Canada following the spring break-up.

Despite the effects of the seasonal spring break-up in Western Canada and pressure pumping commodity inflation, North America pretax operating margin declined by only 53 bps to 18.0%.

The Europe/CIS/Africa Area led the sequential International Area increase with revenue of $3.27 billion increasing 13% as activity levels rebounded in Russia and Norway and exploration increased in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Middle East & Asia Area revenue of $2.97 billion increased 4% sequentially as exploration and drilling activity strengthened in Australia and development activity improved offshore China. In addition, growth continued in Saudi Arabia and seismic activity increased in the United Arab Emirates and Qatar GeoMarkets.

Latin America revenue of $1.85 billion grew 5% sequentially on robust activity in Colombia and Venezuela across all Technologies, including Schlumberger Production Management (SPM). This increase, however, was partially offset by a continued drop in rig count and activity in Mexico, while the revenue in the Brazil GeoMarket was flat sequentially.

Sequentially, International Area pretax operating margin of 24.0% increased 122 bps after posting incremental operating margins of 39%. Middle East & Asia improved 151 bps sequentially to reach 27.8%, Europe/CIS/Africa increased by 180 bps to 22.1%, while Latin America was relatively flat with the previous quarter at 21.2%.

The expansion in international margins was due to seasonal activity rebounds in Europe/CIS/Africa combined with strong results in the Middle East & Asia. Increased high-margin exploration and deepwater activities also helped boost sequential incremental operating margins.

Reservoir Characterization Group

Second-quarter revenue of $3.10 billion increased 9% sequentially. Pretax operating income of $918 million was 18% higher compared to the previous quarter.

Sequentially, the revenue increase was driven primarily by increased use of Wireline services as a result of stronger drilling activity in the US Gulf of Mexico and the seasonal rebound in activity in Russia and Norway. WesternGeco revenue increased sequentially from the return of marine vessels to the North Sea for the summer season. Schlumberger Information Solutions (SIS) revenue also increased from higher software sales and support.

Pretax operating margin of 29.7% increased 233 bps sequentially on higher WesternGeco vessel utilization, robust high-margin software sales, and stronger Wireline activities.

Drilling Group

Second-quarter revenue of $4.65 billion increased 7% sequentially. Pretax operating income of $981 million was 11% higher compared to the previous quarter.

Sequentially, revenue increased primarily on strong international activity for M-I SWACO technologies, mainly in Russia, Sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America. In addition, Drilling & Measurements grew in North America and Russia, while Drilling Tools & Remedial services posted strong equipment sales. Rig revenue from the May 2014 acquisition of Saxon Energy Services also contributed to the growth.

Pretax operating margin of 21.1% increased 74 bps from increased higher-margin activities for Drilling & Measurements in North America and in a number of international Areas.

Production Group

Second-quarter revenue of $4.34 billion increased 6% sequentially. Pretax operating income of $725 million declined 2% compared to the previous quarter.

Sequentially, revenue increased due to improving industry utilization of pressure pumping capacity in US land, strong international Well Services activity, increasing Well Intervention coiled tubing activity worldwide, and strong international sales of Completions products. These increases were partially offset by the seasonal decline in Western Canada activity, as a result of the spring break-up.

Pretax operating margin of 16.7% decreased 123 bps primarily due to the Canadian spring break-up and pressure pumping commodity inflation.

Second-quarter 2014 revenue of $12.05 billion was 8% higher than the same period last year with International Area revenue of $8.09 billion increasing 5% and North America Area revenue of $3.89 billion growing 16%.

Internationally, the increase was led by the Middle East & Asia Area, which increased 12%, mainly from robust results in Saudi Arabia, Australia, the United Arab Emirates and in a number of GeoMarkets in Southeast Asia. Europe/CIS/Africa Area increased 4%, led by the Sub-Saharan Africa region on strong development and exploration activities particularly in the Central West Africa and Angola GeoMarkets. Norway also saw strong growth driven by market share gains and higher rig-related services for a number of customers. The Latin America Area, however, decreased 3% mainly on lower activity and pricing in Brazil and Mexico, partially offset by strong activities in Argentina, Ecuador and Venezuela.

North America increased 16% due mainly to land activity, which was driven by market share gains in pressure pumping, artificial lift and drilling services. The pressure pumping growth was augmented by improvements in operational efficiency and introduction of new technologies. This was offset, in part, by a decrease in offshore revenue resulting from lower drilling and exploration activities.

Second-quarter 2014 pretax operating income of $2.62 billion grew $343 million, or 15%, versus the same period last year, with International pretax operating income of $1.94 billion increasing 15% and North America pretax operating income of $700 million increasing 6%.

Second-quarter 2014 pretax operating margin of 21.7% expanded 137 bps, reflecting 39% incremental operating margins versus the same period last year, as International pretax operating margin expanded 206 bps to 24.0% while North America pretax operating margin contracted 170 bps to 18.0%. The expansion in International margins was primarily due to increased high-margin exploration activities and market share gains. The North America margin contraction was due to pressure pumping commodity inflation.

Reservoir Characterization Group

Second-quarter 2014 revenue of $3.09 billion was 1% higher than the same period last year driven by Wireline and Testing Services on higher offshore exploration activities and increased SIS software sales across all international areas. This increase was largely offset by reduced multiclient sales.

Year-on-year, pretax operating margin was flat at 29.7% as the effect of higher-margin exploration activities, which benefitted Wireline and Testing Services technologies and higher margin software sales was offset by lower profitability as a result of reduced multiclient sales.

Drilling Group

Second-quarter 2014 revenue of $4.65 billion was 10% higher than the previous year primarily due to the robust demand for Drilling & Measurements services and M-I SWACO technologies as activity strengthened in North America and Middle East & Asia Areas. Rig revenue from the May 2014 acquisition of Saxon Energy Services also contributed to the growth.

Year-on-year, pretax operating margin increased 221 bps to 21.1% primarily due to the increase in higher-margin activities of Drilling & Measurements.

Production Group

Second-quarter 2014 revenue of $4.34 billion increased 11% year-on-year mostly from Well Services pressure pumping technologies driven by market share gains, improvements in operational efficiency as well as introduction of new technologies. SPM revenue grew as projects in Latin America continued to progress ahead of work plans. Revenue from the expanding artificial lift business also contributed to the growth.

Year-on-year, pretax operating margin increased 75 bps to 16.7% mainly on improved profitability for Well Services, and Well Intervention, particularly in the International Areas. SPM activities also contributed to the margin expansion. These improvements were offset in part by a decrease in margins in North America due to pressure pumping commodity inflation.

Six-month 2014 revenue of $23.29 billion grew $1.54 billion, or 7%, versus the same period last year with International Area revenue of $15.57 billion increasing $704 million, or 5%, and North America Area revenue of $7.57 billion growing $925 million, or 14%.

Internationally, the increase was led by the Middle East & Asia Area increasing 15%, mainly from robust drilling and seismic activities in Saudi Arabia, Australia, the United Arab Emirates and in a number of GeoMarkets in Southeast Asia. Europe/CIS/Africa Area increased 2%, led by the Sub-Saharan Africa region on strong development and exploration activities particularly in Central West Africa and Angola GeoMarkets. Norway also saw strong revenue growth driven by market share gains and higher rig-related services for a number of customers. However, Latin America Area revenue, decreased 5% mainly on lower activity and pricing in Brazil and Mexico partially offset by strong activities in Argentina and Ecuador.

North America revenue increased 14% due mainly to land, which was driven by market share gains in pressure pumping, artificial lift and drilling services. The pressure pumping growth was augmented by improvements in operational efficiency and introduction of new technologies. This was offset in part by a decrease in offshore revenue resulting from lower drilling and exploration activities.

Year-to-date 2014 pretax operating income of $4.99 billion grew $746 million, or 18% versus the same period last year with International Area pretax operating income of $3.65 billion increasing 17% and North America pretax operating income of $1.38 billion increasing 7%.

Year-to-date 2014 pretax operating margin of 21.4% expanded 191 bps, reflecting 48% incremental operating margins versus the same period last year, as International pretax operating margin expanded 244 bps to 23.4% while North America pretax operating margin contracted 113 bps to 18.3%. The expansion in International Area margins was primarily due to increased high-margin exploration activities and market share gains. The North America margin contraction reflected the pressure pumping commodity inflation.

Reservoir Characterization Group

Six-month 2014 revenue of $5.95 billion was 1% higher than the same period last year driven by Wireline and Testing Services on higher offshore exploration and increased software sales across all international areas for SIS. This increase was largely offset by lower marine vessel utilization and reduced multiclient sales.

Year-on-year, pretax operating margin increased 57 basis points to 28.5% largely due to the higher-margin exploration activities that benefited Wireline Technologies and Testing Services. Higher margin software sales also contributed to the margin improvement. These increases were partially offset by lower profitability in WesternGeco due to lower vessel utilization and reduced multiclient sales.

Drilling Group

Six-month 2014 revenue of $8.98 billion was 8% higher than the previous year, primarily due to robust demand for Drilling & Measurements services and M-I SWACO technologies as activity strengthened in North America and Middle East & Asia Areas. Rig revenue from the May 2014 acquisition of Saxon Energy Services also contributed to the growth.

Year-on-year, pretax operating margin increased 235 basis points to 20.7% primarily due to the increase in higher-margin activities of Drilling & Measurements.

Production Group

Six-month 2014 revenue of $8.46 billion increased 10% year-on-year mostly from Well Services pressure pumping technologies driven by market share gains, improvements in operational efficiency as well as introduction of new technologies. SPM revenue grew as projects in Latin America continued to progress ahead of work plans. Revenue from the expanding artificial lift business also contributed to the year-on-year growth.

Year-on-year, pretax operating margin increased 191 basis points to 17.3% mainly on improved profitability for Well Services, Completions and Well Intervention, particularly in the International Areas. SPM activities also contributed to the margin expansion. These improvements were offset in part by a decrease in margins in North America due to pressure pumping commodity inflation.

INTEREST & OTHER INCOME

Interest & other income consisted of the following for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013:

	(Stated in millions)

Interest income		13		6		26		11
	$	64	$	30	$	141	$	63

OTHER

Research & engineering and General & administrative expenses, as a percentage of Revenue, for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 were as follows:

	Second Quarter						Six Months
	2014			2013			2014			2013
Research & engineering		2.6	%		2.6	%		2.5	%		2.7	%
General & administrative		1.0	%		0.9	%		1.0	%		0.9	%

The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2014 was 21.7% compared to 16.8% for the same period of 2013. The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2013 was significantly impacted by the charges and credits described in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Excluding the impact of the second quarter 2013 charges and credits, the effective tax rate was 23.3%.

The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was 22.1% compared to 19.9% for the same period of the prior year. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was also significantly impacted by the charges and credits described in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Excluding the impact of the charges and credits, the effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was 23.5%.

The decrease in the effective tax rate excluding the impact of charges and credits as compared to both the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013, was primarily attributable to the fact that Schlumberger generated a smaller percentage of its pretax earnings in North America in 2014 as compared to 2013.

CHARGES AND CREDITS

Schlumberger recorded the following charges and credits in continuing operations during the second quarter and the first six months of 2013. These charges and credits, which are summarized below, are more fully described in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Key liquidity events during the first six months of 2014 and 2013 included:

·	During the second quarter of 2013, Schlumberger paid Cameron $600 million in connection with the formation of the OneSubsea joint venture.

On April 17, 2008, the Schlumberger Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved an $8 billion share repurchase program for shares of Schlumberger common stock, to be acquired before December 31, 2011. On July 21, 2011, the Board approved an extension of this repurchase program to December 31, 2013. This program was completed during the third quarter of 2013.

On July 18, 2013, the Board approved a new $10 billion share repurchase program to be completed at the latest by June 30, 2018. Schlumberger had repurchased $3.8 billion of shares under this new share repurchase program as of June 30, 2014. Schlumberger has decided to accelerate this share repurchase program with the aim of completing it in 2.5 years as compared to the original target of 5 years.

The following table summarizes the activity, during the six months ended June 30, under this share repurchase program during 2014 and 2013:

	(Stated in millions, except per share amounts)
	Total cost		Total number		Average price
	of shares		of shares		paid per
	purchased		purchased		share
Six months ended June 30, 2014	$	2,074		21.5	$	96.50
Six months ended June 30, 2013	$	692		9.3	$	74.28

·	Cash flow provided from operations was $4.2 billion in the first six months of 2014 compared to $3.8 billion in the first six months of 2013.

·	Capital expenditures were $1.8 billion in the first six months of 2014 compared to $1.8 billion during the first six months of 2013. Capital expenditures for full-year 2014 are expected to be approximately $3.8 billion as compared to expenditures of $3.9 billion in 2013.

At times in recent years, Schlumberger has experienced delays in payments from its national oil company customer in Venezuela. Schlumberger operates in more than 85 countries. At June 30, 2014, only five of those countries (including Venezuela) individually accounted for greater than 5% of Schlumberger’s accounts receivable balance of which only one, the United States, represented greater than 10%.

As of June 30, 2014, Schlumberger had $6.7 billion of cash and short-term investments on hand. Schlumberger had separate committed debt facility agreements aggregating $4.0 billion with commercial banks, of which $2.0 billion was available and unused as of June 30, 2014. This included $3.5 billion of committed facilities which support a commercial paper program in Europe. Schlumberger believes that these amounts are sufficient to meet future business requirements for at least the next 12 months.

Borrowings under the commercial paper program at June 30, 2014 were $2.0 billion.

Other Matters

As previously disclosed, during the second quarter of 2013, Schlumberger completed the wind down of its service operations in Iran. Prior to this, certain non-U.S. subsidiaries of Schlumberger provided oilfield services to the National Iranian Oil Company and certain of its affiliates (“NIOC”). Schlumberger has classified the results of this business as a discontinued operation. All prior periods were restated accordingly.

Schlumberger’s residual transactions or dealings with the government of Iran in the quarter consisted of payments of taxes and other typical governmental charges. Two non-U.S. subsidiaries of Schlumberger have depository accounts at the Dubai branch of Bank Saderat Iran (“Saderat”) and at Bank Tejarat (“Tejarat”) in Tehran for the deposit by NIOC of amounts owed to non-US subsidiaries of Schlumberger for prior services rendered in Iran. One non-U.S. subsidiary also maintains the account at Tejarat for payment of local expenses such as taxes and utilities. Schlumberger anticipates that it will discontinue its dealings with Saderat and Tejarat following the receipt of all amounts owed to Schlumberger for prior services rendered in Iran.

Although the functional currency of Schlumberger’s operations in Venezuela is the US dollar, a portion of the transactions are denominated in Venezuelan bolivares fuertes. For financial reporting purposes, such local currency transactions are remeasured into US dollars at the official exchange rate, which was fixed at 6.3 Venezuelan bolivares fuertes to the US dollar for most of 2013.

During 2014, Venezuela enacted certain changes to its foreign exchange system such that, in addition to the official rate of 6.3 Venezuelan bolivares fuertes per US dollar, there are now two other legal exchange rates (approximately 11 and 50 Venezuelan bolivares fuertes, respectively, to the US dollar as of June 30, 2014) that may be obtained via different exchange rate mechanisms. During the first half of 2014, Schlumberger continued to remeasure local currency transactions and balances into US dollars at the official exchange rate of 6.3.

At June 30, 2014, Schlumberger had approximately $410 million of net monetary assets denominated in Venezuelan bolivares fuertes. In the event of a devaluation of the official exchange rate or if Schlumberger were to determine that it is more appropriate to utilize one of the other legal exchange rates for financial reporting purposes, it would result in Schlumberger recording a devaluation charge in its Consolidated Statement of Income. Going forward, any devaluation in Venezuela will result in a reduction in the US dollar reported amount of local currency denominated revenues, expenses and, consequently, income before taxes. For example, if Schlumberger had applied an exchange rate of 50 Venezuelan bolivares fuertes to the US dollar throughout the first six months of 2014, it would have reduced Schlumberger’s earnings by approximately $0.04 per share. Had Schlumberger changed to this exchange rate on June 30, 2014, it would have resulted in a one-time devaluation charge of $360 million ($0.27 per share).

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

For quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk affecting Schlumberger, see Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk,” of the Schlumberger Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013. Schlumberger’s exposure to market risk has not changed materially since December 31, 2013.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Schlumberger has carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of Schlumberger’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and the Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of Schlumberger’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, the CEO and the CFO have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, Schlumberger’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports that Schlumberger files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Schlumberger’s disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure

that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to its management, including the CEO and the CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There has been no change in Schlumberger’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter to which this report relates that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, Schlumberger’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

The information with respect to this Item 1 is set forth under Note 13—Contingencies, in the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

As of the date of this filing, there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in Part 1, Item 1A, of Schlumberger’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

On May 5, 2014, Schlumberger issued approximately 2.1 million shares of its common stock, valued at $213 million, in connection with an acquisition. These shares were issued without registration under the Securities Act, in reliance upon the exemption provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, because the issuance did not involve any public offering. Issuer Repurchases of Equity Securities

On July 18, 2013, the Schlumberger Board of Directors approved a new $10 billion share repurchase program for shares of Schlumberger common stock, to be completed at the latest by June 30, 2018.

Schlumberger’s common stock repurchase program activity for the three months ended June 30, 2014 was as follows:

	(Stated in thousands, except per share amounts)
	Total number of shares purchased		Average price paid per share		Total number of shares purchased as part of publicly announced program		Maximum value of shares that may yet be purchased under the program
