  3. Artificial Lift Industry has grown by more than $500 million in the last 12 years Artificial Lift Market Evolution * Excludes Russia and China.

  4. Inland Bay & Offshore (Shelf) Land Offshore (Deep Water/ Sub Sea) Gas Lift – Areas of Opportunity & Encroachment Land Gas Lift Applications • Growth Opportunity - De-Watering Gas Wells with Gas Lift • Encroachment - Electric submersible pumps; some PCP applications due to drawdown • Inland Bay & Offshore Gas Lift Applications • Opportunity – Competitive due to infrastructure limitations, available natural gas; alternative uses? • Encroachment – Electric Submersible Pumps and other lift methods as reliability improves • Offshore Deep Water/Sub Sea Gas Lift Applications • Still undefined, although systemic issues currently limit application depth

  9. Risk Size of Effort Time Product Development Processand Risk Reduction

  10. So what is taking Schlumberger so long to introduce new Gas Lift Products? • SLB Systematic approach to the Product Development • Technical Audit of Gas Lift Product Line mandated the “re-engineering” of several product lines to accommodate the incorporation into the SLB Engineering Database and Manufacturing Process • Over the past two years, SLB has invested a significant amount of its annual Gas Lift Revenue on the Sustaining and Re-Engineering of the Product Line • New Product Development project commenced in 2002

  11. Business Issues affecting new Gas Lift R&D Decisions • In the end, it is a Risk vs. Reward Proposition • Commercial Risk Factors • Early Market acceptance of technology • Viable Business Model - Market pricing and volume which allows for reasonable return on the R&D Investment • Technical Risk Factors • Will it work! – that is, does it fulfill the product requirement s • Can we build it for the original estimate? • Other Influencing Factors • Marketshare Impact of new technology • Leverage across Schlumberger is an advantage • Strategic Initiatives can assist in project funding • Track Record

  12. Potential Gas Lift R&E Focus Areas • Energy Optimization through engineering improvements • Expanding the range of Gas Lift Deployment • Continuous Gas Lift Optimization • Systemic Improvement efforts with surface equipment providers such as control valve companies and compression companies • Reliability

  13. Concluding Remarks
