Our History Our Values
Founded in 1926 by two brothers, Conrad and Marcel Schlumberger from At Schlumberger, we have three core values that guide everything we do.

our customers’ changing needs.
The roots of our corporate values can be traced back to the Schlumberger
family values, which steadfastly insisted on the importance of learning
and education, and which later took form in the belief that one must
always keep a close eye on the customer’s needs and the company’s
greater purpose in the world. Conrad and Marcel Schlumberger believed
in the idea of driving their company’s future success by reinvesting profits
in the business, particularly in research and development.

“I agree to disburse to my sons, Conrad and Marcel, the funds necessary


for research study in view of determining the nature of the subsurface…
the scientific interest in research must take precedence over financial
interests.”
Conrad Schlumberger Paul Schlumberger, 1919

The principal element of The Blue Print, known as Our Mindset, comprises
four types of behavior—Commitment, Integrity, Teamwork and Drive.
All Schlumberger employees are accountable for adopting this behavior in
terms of our attitude, words and actions as we interact with each other and
with our external stakeholders. Our future success depends on it!

What You Need to Know
Performance Management
Management by Objectives, or MBO, is central to the company’s
performance. At the heart of this performance management system
is the Appraisal process, the main objective-setting and performance-
appraisal tool. Objective setting occurs at the beginning of each calendar
year with quarterly reviews taking place between managers and
employees. The annual appraisal session, to assess whether objectives
for the previous year have been achieved, occurs at the start of the year.
This will be introduced to Saxon employees beginning January 2015.

Promotions
Promotions are based on performance.

Career Center
The Career Center is a way for each employee to
participate in the management of his/her career plan
in the company. It allows an employee to update his/
her job preferences and personal considerations. In
addition, information is available on the full range of
Schlumberger jobs and lists the people who currently
hold the jobs so that the potential paths for pursuing
career goals are visible.
