Jan 22 (Reuters) - Top U.S. oilfield services company
SLB said its net assets in Russia amounted to about $600
million at the end of 2024, unchanged from 2023, but revenue
from the region had slipped.
SLB has been under pressure to leave Russia after the U.S.
Treasury Department on Jan. 10 issued new sanctions that
included adjusting an executive order to cut off Russia's access
to U.S. services related to the extraction and production of
crude oil and other petroleum products.
The world's largest oilfield service company is one of the
few Western firms to remain in Russia after the country's 2022
invasion of Ukraine.
Revenue from SLB's operations in Russia has been declining
and accounted for 4% of its total revenue in 2024, down from 5%
the year before, according to the company's latest regulatory
filing.
