Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
     The Third-Quarter 2011 Results Press Release furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and the Third-Quarter 2011 Results — Supplemental Information furnished as Exhibit 99.2 hereto, were posted on the Schlumberger internet website (www.slb.com/ir) on October 21, 2011. In accordance with General Instruction B.2. of Form 8-K, the information will not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), nor will it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
     In addition to financial results determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) that are included in the attached Third-Quarter 2011 Results Press Release and the Third-Quarter 2011 Results — Supplemental Information, these documents also include the following non-GAAP financial measures (as defined under Regulation G of the Exchange Act):
    Net Debt: Net Debt represents gross debt less cash, short-term investments and fixed income investments, held to maturity. Management believes that Net Debt provides useful information regarding the level of Schlumberger’s indebtedness by reflecting cash and investments that could be used to repay debt.
 
    Income from continuing operations attributable to Schlumberger, excluding charges and credits; diluted earnings per share from continuing operations, excluding charges and credits; pretax return on sales, excluding charges and credits; after-tax return on sales, excluding charges and credits; and effective tax rate, excluding charges and credits: Management believes that the exclusion of charges from the foregoing financial measures enables it to evaluate more effectively Schlumberger’s operations period over period and to identify operating trends that could otherwise be masked by the excluded items.
     Third-Quarter 2011 income from continuing operations attributable to Schlumberger in accordance with GAAP was $1.30 billion, representing diluted earnings-per-share of $0.96 versus $0.82 in the previous quarter and $1.38 in the third quarter of 2010. Third-Quarter 2011 income from continuing operations attributable to Schlumberger, excluding charges and credits, was $1.32 billion, representing diluted earnings-per-share, excluding charges and credits, of $0.98 versus $0.87 in the previous quarter, and $0.70 in the third quarter of 2010.
     The foregoing non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, or superior to, total debt, cash flows or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP as more fully discussed in Schlumberger’s financial statements and filings with the SEC.
Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
     On October 21, 2011, Schlumberger issued a press release, a copy of which is furnished with this Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated into this Item 7.01 by reference.

     Also, see Item 2.02, “Results of Operations and Financial Condition.”
