Third-quarter revenue of $7.0 billion was down 2% sequentially with North America declining 2% and international down 2%.

“Our third-quarter revenue decreased 2% sequentially, driven largely by the expected reduction in activity at Cameron as the order backlog of products declined… Excluding Cameron, revenue increased 1% sequentially driven by higher activity in the North America and Middle East Areas as well as in the Australia and Russia GeoMarkets,” said Schlumberger CEO Paul Kibsgaard.
