This article reads like it was written by the company. It'd be nice if there were other things presented in the article. --andye — Preceding undated comment added 13:05, 13 November 2006
The article reads like a marketing brochure of the company. We want to know where and how the company evolved and not whether it is going to provide excellent and advanced services or not. Please tell us what were stumbling blocks in establishing the company in remote and hostile locations around the world and not whether these office are "looked upon for inspiration" during the life of the oil field !!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.230.248.1 (talk) 14:59, 30 November 2006
Why should a discussion be ended simply because Jingsen has "found" the true reason for the shabby marketing text on the website. Please stop quoting annual profits in US dollars here as nobody is really wanting to know that through academic sites such as Wikipedia. I am going to report this to the website administrators. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Anipilot (talk • contribs) 09:47, 13 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I convinced this company is using Wikipedia to market itself as well ! A company's repute is built through its actions and not words...especially not through a academic learning and information reference such as Wikipedia, the following two paragraphs are just shamefull propaganda. (note the 'we' in the second para)
Competitive Advantage Schlumberger offers its clients four key advantages:
Deep domain knowledge of exploration and production operations gained through 75 years of experience The service industry's longest commitment to technology and innovation through a network of 23 research, development and technology centers A global reach in 80 countries coupled to strong local experience and the diversity in thought, background and knowledge that more that 140 nationalities bring A commitment to excellence in service delivery anytime, anywhere.
Research and Development The company was founded by the two Schlumberger brothers who invented wireline logging as a technique for obtaining downhole data in oil and gas wells. Today, it continues to build on the industry's longest track record of providing leading edge E&P technology to develop new advancements-from reservoir to surface. Schlumberger has always invested significant time and money on research and engineering as a long-term strategy to support and grow its technology leadership. Short-term business cycles do not affect this. In 2005, we invested $505 million in R&D for our oilfield activities. Schlumberger invests more each year in R&D than all other oilfield services companies combined. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Anipilot (talk • contribs) 15:07, 30 November 2006
'Surely you jest The largest oilfield services company in the world with 70billion in market cap does not need to market itself on wikipedia. I dont think potential clients navigate through a webclopedia to find contracts... i agree its a lazy editor copying and pasting from SLB's website. feel free to delete/omit/edit as necessary — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.240.104.223 (talk) 00:14, 31 December 2006
Clearly some editing has been done by Schlumberger employees — editing from IPs 163.183.x.x through 163.188.x.x are from inside Schlumberger — but I agree that it sounds more like cut-and-paste editing than self promotion. —Travis C/T\U 13:01, 1 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hi! Does it benefit the reader to have the large management listing on this article? I suggest we trim off the Technologies, Areas, and EMS sections and leave just the top managers for brevity and readability. Any thoughts? cheers, --guyzero | talk 02:30, 6 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The article said, "In 1987,...and the domain name www.slb.com was registered by the company" which is not possible since there was no registration of domain names in 1987, nor world wide web. The world wide web was named in May of 1990 according to the world's first web site http://info.cern.ch/ which is still in existence.
So I don't know when slb was registered but it was not in 1987.
Nick Beeson (talk) 18:04, 11 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I've put it back in and added the reference: this comes directly from the company's website. This is an interesting situation, perhaps someone can shed light on what Schlumberger actually registered in 1987? AniRaptor2001 01:54, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
As I've said before: the following is interesting and probably true; however, the citations do not directly reference Schlumberger, so we cannot say for certain that Schlumberger was committing these infractions. I'm putting it here so we can work on it. AniRaptor2001 (talk) 15:31, 26 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
To reduce cost's and increase profit's to Schlumberger shareholder's, foreign workers were hired(salary based on cost of living from there home country even when working in Australia. (this is possible as Australian Migration Zone allowed by department of Immigration), to offset their costs, to survive a downturn in the industry and to significantly undercut competitors in bids. [1]
Australia VISA rules were stretched to the limit and were investigated by Department of Immigration and Affairs(DIMA) Australia who found that Schlumberger/Westerngeco sub contractor had been using a loophole in the 457 VISA laws to inadvertently underpay foreign workers. This loophole has now been resolved without compensation to past or present employees and contractors by issuing 456 VISA's. [2]
For Australian citizens working offshore for Schlumberger/WesternGeco seismic department they were deliberately sent out from Australia as Schlumberger/WesternGeco refuses to pay taxes for its Australian employees as they cannot get the tax paid reimbursed back like it is possible for other non-Australian seismic crew working in Australia.[3]

Schlumberger has been notorious for law violations in various countries. This reflects the difference between proclaimed and real sequence of the Core Values of this company and its management. It has been willfully bringing in illegal workforce in Kazakhstan, as well as regularly smuggling tools and equipment from tax-free projects like Tengiz (TCO) and Karachaganak (KPO) and deviating from tax payments.

BP contracted Schlumberger (SLB) to run the Cement Bond Log (CBL) test that was the final test on the plug that was skipped. The people testifying have been very coy about mentioning this, and you'll see why.
SLB is an extremely highly regarded (and incredibly expensive) service company. They place a high standard on safety and train their workers to shut down unsafe operations.
SLB gets out to the Deepwater Horizon to run the CBL, and they find the well still kicking heavily, which it should not be that late in the operation. SLB orders the "company man" (BP's man on the scene that runs the operation) to dump kill fluid down the well and shut-in the well. The company man refuses. SLB in the very next sentence asks for a helo to take all SLB personel back to shore. The company man says there are no more helo's scheduled for the rest of the week (translation: you're here to do a job, now do it). SLB gets on the horn to shore, calls SLB's corporate HQ, and gets a helo flown out there at SLB's expense and takes all SLB personel to shore.
6 hours later, the platform explodes.
Pick your jaw up off the floor now. No CBL was run after the pressure tests because the contractor high-tailed it out of there. If this story is true, the company man (who survived) should go to jail for 11 counts of negligent homicide. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.2.142.7 (talk) 13:43, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I edited the bit we presently have re Deepwater Horizon to match the source. As is, the item verges on trivia. But perhaps the story above will show up in a RS someday.... --Pete Tillman (talk) 20:57, 28 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
This source says that the first Forex was purchased in 1959 and was the company's first large drilling purchase. This is contrary to what is in the article.Americasroof (talk) 17:26, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oil Firms Face Services Hurdle December 23, 2011 by Sarah Kent, excerpt ...
A lack of capacity in the oil-services sector is likely to hamper exploration and development of new sources of supply at a time of growing demand, and force greater collaboration between state-owned and multinational oil producers and the services sector, industry experts say. Oil-services companies, which include giants such as Schlumberger Ltd. and Halliburton Co., provide the industry with technical and engineering expertise, as well as the equipment and tools needed for exploration and production. Based on current projections from the International Energy Agency (IEA), global oil demand is expected to rise to 90.3 million barrels a day in 2012, slightly above current levels of supply. But much of current production is from mature oil fields, where output has already peaked and is now in decline. This has created a pressing need to find new supplies as the IEA expects oil demand to reach 99 million barrels a day by 2035.

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Schlumberger&oldid=1120574757, placing the new "slb" logo in the infobox, was reverted by User:Stannerbing in their first Wikipedia edit. The rationale was that there should be a new page documenting the new entity, using HP as an example. Unlike Hewlett-Packard, Schlumberger is not defunct; the company is, as of now, still legally incorporated as Schlumberger. I note that a previous attempt to change the logo and other branding information was shot down as sockpuppetry. So, the situation is as follows:
Thus, the company is the same entity that has been known previously as "Schlumberger Limited", so there is no need to create a new article. I previously updated the related item on the disambiguation page SLB to say
* SLB, the trade name and ticker symbol of Schlumberger Limited, an energy services company
I propose that Schlumberger should display the current logo of Schlumberger Limited, which is . As to how to refer to the company in the article, I would also propose that "SLB" be used to refer to the current operations of the company, while "Schlumberger" be used to refer to company history and operations before October 2022.
I am going to restore the original logo edit with a link to this discussion. Please discuss here before reverting again. (Note: I am not employed by Schlumberger Limited, SLB, or any company involved in its corporate rebranding, and I am not acting at the direction of SLB or any employee or contractor of SLB).

SLB has tried to rebill itself as a "tech" company for "decarbonization"—most press and even 3rd party materials now stick to this line. We shouldn't modify the page or let those sources obscure SLB's real business. DenverCoder9 (talk) 19:21, 1 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
