On March 28, 2011, Andrew Gould, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Schlumberger Limited
(Schlumberger), addressed the oil and gas investment community at the 39th Annual Howard Weil
Energy Conference in New Orleans, Louisiana. A copy of the presentation and slides is attached as

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
Schlumbergers forecasts or expectations regarding business outlook; growth for Schlumberger as a
whole and for each segment (and for specified products or geographic areas within each segment);
the integration of both Smith and Geoservices into Schlumbergers business; the anticipated
benefits of those transactions; oil and natural gas demand and production growth; oil and natural
gas prices; improvements in operating procedures and technology; capital expenditures by
Schlumberger and the oil and gas industry; the business strategies of Schlumbergers customers;
future global economic and geopolitical 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 Schlumbergers 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; geopolitical risk; pricing erosion; seasonal factors; 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;
continuing operational delays or program reductions as of result of the lifted drilling moratorium
in the Gulf of Mexico; the inability to successfully integrate the merged Smith and Geoservices
businesses and to realize expected synergies, the inability to retain key employees; the ability of
technology to meet new challenges in exploration; and other risks and uncertainties described in
this presentation, as well as under Item 1A. Risk Factors and elsewhere in Schlumbergers most
recent Form 10-K and other filings that we make with the Securities and Exchange Commission. If
one or more of these or other risks or uncertainties materialize (or the consequences of such a
development change), 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.
