99.1

Press Release dated June 10, 2010

Forward-Looking Statements

The attached press release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws, which include any statements that are not historical facts, such as our forecasts or expectations regarding business outlook; drilling activity in the Gulf of Mexico and elsewhere; the business strategies of Schlumberger’s customers; and relocation of equipment and personnel. 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 Schlumberger’s customers and changes in the level of oil and natural gas exploration and development; results of litigation and investigations; actions by third parties, including governmental agencies; general economic and business conditions in key regions of the world; pricing erosion; seasonal factors; and other risks and uncertainties detailed in our most recent Form 10-K and other filings that we make with the Securities and Exchange Commission. If one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize (or the consequences of such a development changes), 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.
