Actual and anticipated declines in oil and gas prices have in the past resulted in, and may in the future result in,
lower capital expenditures, project modifications, delays or cancellations, general business disruptions, and
delays in payment of, or nonpayment of, amounts that are owed to us. These effects have had, and may in the
future have, a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Historically, oil and gas prices have experienced significant volatility and can be affected by a variety of factors,
including:
• changes in the supply of and demand for hydrocarbons, which are affected by general economic and
business conditions;
• the costs of exploring for, producing and delivering oil and gas;
• the ability or willingness of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and the expanded
alliance known as OPEC+ to set and maintain production levels for oil;
• the level of oil and gas exploration and production activity;
• the level of excess production capacity;
• the level of oil and gas inventories;
• access to potential resources;
• political and economic uncertainty and geopolitical unrest;
• governmental laws, policies, regulations and subsidies, including initiatives to promote the use of
renewable energy sources;

pursuing them. If our sustainability practices do not meet investor or other stakeholder expectations and
standards, which continue to evolve, our reputation, our ability to attract or retain employees, and our
attractiveness as an investment or business partner could be negatively affected. Similarly, our failure or
perceived failure to pursue or fulfill our sustainability-focused goals, targets, and objectives, to comply with
ethical, environmental, or other standards, regulations, or expectations, or to satisfy various reporting standards
with respect to these matters, within the timelines we announce, or at all, could adversely affect our business or
reputation, as well as expose us to government enforcement actions and private litigation.
Failure to attract and retain qualified personnel could impede our operations.
Our future success depends on our ability to recruit, train, and retain qualified personnel. We require highly
skilled personnel to operate and provide technical services and support for our business. Competition for the
personnel necessary for our businesses intensifies as activity increases and technology evolves. In periods of high
utilization, it is often more difficult to find and retain qualified individuals. This could increase our costs or have
other material adverse effects on our operations.

During weak economic environments or when there is an extended period of weakness in oil and gas prices,
Schlumberger typically experiences delays in the payment of its receivables. However, except for a $469 million
accounts receivable write-off during 2017 as a result of the political and economic condition in Venezuela,
Schlumberger has not historically had material write-offs due to uncollectible accounts receivable. Schlumberger
generates revenue in more than 120 countries. As of December 31, 2021, five of those countries individually
accounted for greater than 5% of Schlumberger’s net accounts receivable balance, of which only one (the United

different assumptions or conditions.
Revenue Recognition
Schlumberger recognizes revenue upon the transfer of control of promised products or services to customers at
an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for these products or services. The vast
majority of Schlumberger’s services and product offerings are short-term in nature. The time between invoicing
and when payment is due under these arrangements is generally between 30 to 60 days.
Revenue is occasionally generated from contractual arrangements that include multiple performance obligations.
Revenue from these arrangements is allocated to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone
selling price. Standalone selling prices are generally determined based on the prices charged to customers or
using expected costs plus margin.
Revenue is recognized for certain long-term construction-type contracts over time. These contracts involve
significant design and engineering efforts in order to satisfy custom designs for customer-specific applications.
Revenue is recognized as work progresses on each contract. Progress is measured by the ratio of actual costs
incurred to date on the project in relation to total estimated project costs. The estimate of total project costs has a
significant impact on both the amount of revenue recognized as well as the related profit on a project. Revenue
and profits on contracts can also be significantly affected by change orders and claims. Due to the nature of these
projects, adjustments to estimates of contract revenue and total contract costs may be required as work
progresses. Progress billings are generally issued upon completion of certain phases of work as stipulated in the
contract. Any expected losses on a project are recorded in full in the period in which they become probable.
Due to the nature of its businesses, Schlumberger does not have significant backlog. Total backlog was $2.8
billion at December 31, 2021, of which approximately 50% is expected to be recognized as revenue during 2022.

Schlumberger sponsors several defined benefit pension plans that cover substantially all US employees hired
prior to October 1, 2004. The benefits are based on years of service and compensation, on a career-average pay
basis.
In addition to the US defined benefit pension plans, Schlumberger sponsors several other international defined
benefit pension plans. The most significant of these international plans are the International Staff Pension Plan
and the UK pension plan (collectively, the “International plans”). The International Staff Pension Plan covers
certain international employees hired prior to July 1, 2014 and is based on years of service and compensation on
a career-average pay basis. The UK plan covers employees hired prior to April 1, 1999, and is based on years of
service and compensation, on a final salary basis.

The asset / (unfunded liability) represents the difference between the plan assets and the projected benefit
obligation (“PBO”). The PBO represents the actuarial present value of benefits based on employee service and
compensation and includes an assumption about future compensation levels. The accumulated benefit obligation
(“ABO”) represents the actuarial present value of benefits based on employee service and compensation but does
not include an assumption about future compensation levels.
Actuarial gains arising during 2021 and actuarial losses arising during 2020 were primarily attributable to
changes in the discount rate used to determine the PBO.

Schlumberger’s funding policy is to annually contribute amounts that are based upon a number of factors
including the actuarial accrued liability, amounts that are deductible for income tax purposes, legal funding
requirements and available cash flow. Schlumberger does not expect to make any material contributions to its
postretirement benefit plans in 2022.

report which appears herein.
Basis for Opinions
The Company’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective
internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over
financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial
Reporting. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and on
the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm
registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to
be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the
applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are
free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial
reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material
misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures
that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts
and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of
the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an
understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and
testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our
audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

Uncertain Tax Positions In 2013, Schlumberger completed the wind-down of its service operations in Iran. Prior to this, certain non-US
subsidiaries provided oilfield services to the National Iranian Oil Company and certain of its affiliates (“NIOC”).
As described in Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s tax filings are subject to regular
audit by the tax authorities, and those audits may result in assessments for additional taxes that are resolved with Schlumberger’s residual transactions or dealings with the government of Iran in 2021 consisted of payments of
