Brief description:

Schlumberger Limited (NYSE: SLB) is the world's largest oilfield services corporation with operations in approximately 80 countries. Currently based in Houston, Texas, Schlumberger was founded in 1926 by French brothers Conrad and Marcel Schlumberger. The company recorded the first-ever electrical resistivity well log in Merkwiller-Pechelbronn, France in 1927. Schlumberger now supplies the petroleum industry with services such as seismic acquisition and processing, formation evaluation, well testing and directional drilling, well cementing and stimulation, artificial lift, well completions and consulting, and software and information management. The company is also involved in the groundwater extraction and carbon capture and storage industries. Schlumberger has roughly 79,000 employees of more than 140 nationalities.

Schlumberger Carbon Services provides comprehensive geological CO2 sequestration solutions. Site assessment, characterization, design and risk management.

CCS:

"We can contribute through subsurface characterization, modeling, simulation and prediction, well completion, and CO2 monitoring both during injection and long-term storage.

We're participating in almost all of the CCS initiatives around the world and have created a business unit devoted to investigating and developing the capacity to design, build, and operate CCS projects. If CCS is to have an impact on the CO2concentration in the atmosphere, billions of tons of CO2 will have to be stored and we are gearing up to apply our technology to this global challenge.

We participate in R&D consortia and projects, commercial-size projects, and international forums and trade association projects."
