Oilfield services company SLB (before rebranding – Schlumberger) announced the complete cessation of supply of its products and technologies to Russia.
Initially, due to international sanctions, the restrictions (rejection of new investments and supply of new technologies to the Russian Federation) concerned only imports from the USA, Great Britain, the European Union and Canada. They were introduced as partial “voluntary measures” which, as sanctions decisions expanded, became comprehensive.
In 2022, unlike many Western companies, Schlumberger did not completely abandon the Russian market. In the country, the corporation, according to Reuters, has more than 9 thousand employees (10% of the total number of employees of the company worldwide). And some of them at one point even complained that they were not allowed to work remotely at the time of mobilization.
