1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Schlumberger Limited and its subsidiaries ("Schlumberger") have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of Schlumberger management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement have been included in the accompanying unaudited financial statements. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2022. The December 31, 2021 balance sheet information has been derived from the Schlumberger 2021 audited financial statements. For further information, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statementsand notes thereto included in the Schlumberger Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 26, 2022.

2. Charges and Credits

On December 31, 2020, Schlumberger contributed its onshore hydraulic fracturing business in the United States and Canada, including its pressure pumping, pumpdown perforating and Permian frac sand business to Liberty Energy Inc. ("Liberty") in exchange for an equity interest in Liberty. During the first quarter of 2022, Schlumberger sold 7.2 million of its shares of Liberty and received proceeds of $84 million. As a result of this transaction Schlumberger recognized a gain of $26 million. This gain is classified in Interest & other incomein the Consolidated Statement of Income. As of March 31, 2022, Schlumberger had a 27% equity interest in Liberty.

Schlumberger did not record any charges or credits during the first quarter of 2021.

3. Earnings per Share

The following is a reconciliation from basic income per share of Schlumberger to diluted income per share of Schlumberger:

The number of outstanding options to purchase shares of Schlumberger common stock that were not included in the computation of diluted income per share, because to do so would have had an antidilutive effect, was as follows:

4. Inventories

A summary of inventories, which are stated at the lower of average cost or net realizable value, is as follows:

5. Fixed Assets

A summary of fixed assets follows:

Depreciation expense relating to fixed assets was $338 million and $355 million in the first quarter of 2022 and 2021, respectively.

6. Intangible Assets

The gross book value, accumulated amortization and net book value of intangible assets were as follows:

Amortization expense charged to income was $75 million during the first quarter of 2022 and $76 million during the first quarter of 2021.

7. Long-term Debt

A summary of Long-term Debtfollows:

The estimated fair value of Schlumberger's Long-term Debt, based on quoted market prices at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, was $13.0 billion and $13.9 billion, respectively.

Schlumberger has a €750 million three-yearcommitted revolving credit facility maturing in June 2024. At March 31, 2022 no amounts had been drawn under this facility.

In addition to the revolving credit facility described above, at March 31, 2022, Schlumberger had separate committed credit facility agreements aggregating $5.75 billion with commercial banks, all of which was available and unused. These committed facilities support commercial paper programs in the United States and Europe, of which $0.75 billion matures in February 2024, $2.0 billion matures in February 2025, $1.0 billion matures in July 2026 and $2.0 billion matures in February 2027. Interest rates and other terms of borrowing under these lines of credit vary by facility.

There were no borrowings under the commercial paper programs at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Schlumberger Limited fully and unconditionally guarantees the securities issued by certain of its subsidiaries, including securities issued by Schlumberger Investment SA and Schlumberger Finance Canada Ltd., both wholly-owned subsidiaries of Schlumberger.

8. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

As a multinational company, Schlumberger conducts its business in over 120 countries. Schlumberger's functional currency is primarily the US dollar.

Schlumberger is exposed to risks on future cash flows to the extent that the local currency is not the functional currency and expenses denominated in local currency are not equal to revenues denominated in local currency. Schlumberger uses foreign currency forward contracts to provide a hedge against a portion of these cash flow risks. These contracts are accounted for as cash flow hedges, with the changes in the fair value of the hedge recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss. Amounts recorded inAccumulated Other Comprehensive Loss are reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods that the hedged item is recognized in earnings.

10

Schlumberger is also exposed to risks on future cash flows relating to certain of its fixed rate debt denominated in currencies other than the functional currency. Schlumberger uses cross-currency swaps to provide a hedge against these cash flow risks. Included in Other Assetswas $71 million at March 31, 2022 ($66 million at December 31, 2021) and included in Other Liabilitieswas $86 million at March 31, 2022 ($78 million at December 31, 2021) relating to the fair value of outstanding cross-currency swap derivatives. The fair value was determined using a model with inputs that are observable in the market or can be derived or corroborated by observable data.

During 2019, a US-dollar functional currency subsidiary of Schlumberger issued €1.5 billion of Euro-denominated debt. Schlumberger entered into cross-currency swaps for an aggregate notional amount of €1.5 billion in order to hedge changes in the fair value of its €0.5 billion 0.00% Notes due 2024, €0.5 billion 0.25% Notes due 2027 and €0.5 billion 0.50% Notes due 2031. These cross-currency swaps effectively convert the Euro-denominated notes to US-dollar denominated debt with fixed annual interest rates of 2.29%, 2.51% and 2.76%, respectively.

During 2020, a US-dollar functional currency subsidiary of Schlumberger issued €0.8 billion of Euro-denominated debt. Schlumberger entered into cross-currency swaps for an aggregate notional amount of €0.8 billion in order to hedge changes in the fair value of its €0.4 billion of 0.25% Notes due 2027 and €0.4 billion of 0.50% Notes due 2031. These cross-currency swaps effectively convert the Euro-denominated notes to US-dollar denominated debt with fixed annual interest rates of 1.87% and 2.20%, respectively.

During 2020, a US-dollar functional currency subsidiary of Schlumberger issued €2.0 billion of Euro-denominated debt. Schlumberger entered into cross-currency swaps for an aggregate notional amount of €2.0 billion in order to hedge changes in the fair value of its €1.0 billion of 1.375% Guaranteed Notes due 2026 and €1.0 billion of 2.00% Guaranteed Notes due 2032. These cross-currency swaps effectively convert the swapped portion of the Euro-denominated notes to US-dollar denominated debt with fixed annual interest rates of 2.77% and 3.49%, respectively.

During 2020, a Canadian dollar functional currency subsidiary of Schlumberger issued $0.5 billion of US dollar denominated debt. Schlumberger entered into cross-currency swaps for an aggregate notional amount of $0.5 billion in order to hedge changes in the fair value of its $0.5 billion 1.40% Senior Notes due 2025. These cross-currency swaps effectively convert the US dollar notes to Canadian dollar denominated debt with a fixed annual interest rate of 1.73%.

During the fourth quarter of 2021 and the first quarter of 2022, Schlumberger entered into derivative contracts that hedge the price of oil relating to approximately 75% of the projected oil production for all of 2022 and the first quarter of 2023 of one its Asset Performance Solutions ("APS") projects. These contracts are accounted for as cash flow hedges, with the changes in fair value of the hedge recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheetand in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss. Amounts recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Lossare reclassified to earnings in the same period or periods that the hedged item is recognized in earnings. Included in Accounts payable and accrued liabilitieswas $94 million at March 31, 2022 relating to the fair value of the outstanding commodity hedges.

Schlumberger is exposed to changes in the fair value of assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency. While Schlumberger uses foreign currency forward contracts to economically hedge this exposure as it relates to certain currencies, these contracts are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes. Instead, the fair value of the contracts is recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and changes in the fair value are recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income, as are changes in the fair value of the hedged item.

At March 31, 2022, contracts were outstanding for the US dollar equivalent of $7.6 billion in various foreign currencies, of which $5.8 billion relates to hedges of debt denominated in currencies other than the functional currency.

Other than the previously mentioned cross-currency swaps and commodity hedges, the fair value of the other outstanding derivatives was not material at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

11

The effect of derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges, and those not designated as hedges, on the Consolidated Statement of Income was as follows:

9. Contingencies

Schlumberger is party to various legal proceedings from time to time. A liability is accrued when a loss is both probable and can be reasonably estimated. Management believes that the probability of a material loss with respect to any currently pending legal proceeding is remote. However, litigation is inherently uncertain and it is not possible to predict the ultimate disposition of any of these proceedings.

10. Segment Information

12

Revenue by geographic area was as follows:

North America and International revenue disaggregated by segment was as follows:

Revenue in excess of billings related to contracts where revenue is recognized over time was $0.3 billion at both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Such amounts are included within Receivables less allowance for doubtful accountsin the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Due to the nature of its business, Schlumberger does not have significant backlog. Total backlog was $3.0 billion at March 31, 2022, of which approximately 56% is expected to be recognized as revenue over the next 12 months.

Billings and cash collections in excess of revenue was $1.0 billion at both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Such amounts are included within Accounts payable and accrued liabilitiesin the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

13

Item 2.Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The conflict in Ukraine that began in late February 2022 continues as of the date of this quarterly report. Schlumberger is deeply focused on the safety and security of its employees and their families in Ukraine, Russia and throughout the affected region.

Schlumberger's executive leadership established local and global crisis management teams which began meeting regularly in February 2022 to respond to the crisis and its effect on Schlumberger's employees, business and operations, including impacts related to increased economic sanctions and export controls. In March 2022, Schlumberger decided to immediately suspend new investment and technology deployment to its Russia operations.

Russia represented approximately 5% of Schlumberger's worldwide revenue during the first quarter of 2022. The carrying value of Schlumberger's net assets in Russia was approximately $0.8 billion as of March 31, 2022. This consisted of $0.2 billion of receivables, $0.2 billion of inventories, $0.3 billion of other current assets, $0.3 billion of fixed assets, $0.1 billion of other non-current assets and $0.3 billion of current liabilities.

Schlumberger continues to actively monitor this dynamic situation and comply with applicable international laws and sanctions. The extent to which Schlumberger's operations and financial results (including the need to potentially write-down the carrying value of certain assets) may be affected by the ongoing conflict in Ukraine will depend on various factors, including the extent and duration of the conflict; the effects of the conflict on regional and global economic and geopolitical conditions; the effect of further international sanctions and trade control restrictions on Schlumberger's business, the global economy and global supply chains; and the impact of further devaluation of the ruble. Continuation or escalation of the conflict may also aggravate the risk factors that Schlumberger identified in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

First Quarter 2022 Compared to Fourth Quarter 2021

First-quarter 2022 revenue of $6.0 billion decreased 4% sequentially. Geographically, North America revenue was flat sequentially and international revenue declined 5% sequentially.

The sequential revenue decline primarily reflects the typical seasonal activity decline in the Northern Hemisphere, with the decline in Europe/CIS/Africa more pronounced due to the depreciation of the ruble, as well as global supply chain constraints impacting Production Systems. In contrast, North America and Latin America revenue was essentially flat sequentially. By Division, Well Construction revenue was slightly higher than last quarter as strong drilling activity in North America, Latin America, and the Middle

14

East more than offset the seasonal reductions in Europe/CIS/Africa and Asia. Reservoir Performance, Production Systems, and Digital & Integration were sequentially lower due to seasonal reductions in activity and sales.

Moving forward, the outlook for the rest of 2022-particularly in the second half-remains positive with both short- and long-cycle investments accelerating. Notably, a number of final investment decisions for long-cycle development projects have been approved, new contracts were awarded, offshore exploration drilling is resuming, and several customers have announced a significant step-up in their spending plans for this year and over the next few years.

Consequently, it is Schlumberger's view that increased activity-both on land and offshore-higher technology adoption, and pricing momentum will drive simultaneous growth internationally and in North America. This will result in a sequential seasonal rebound in the second quarter followed by significant growth in the second half of the year, particularly in the international market.

With this backdrop and despite the uncertainty linked to Russia, Schlumberger believes the current market dynamics should allow it to maintain its full-year ambitions of year-on-year revenue growth in the mid-teens. Schlumberger's positive outlook extends further into 2023 and beyond as it anticipates successive years of market growth. As demand continues to strengthen and new investments are committed to diversify energy supply, the duration and scale of this upcycle may potentially prove higher than originally anticipated, absent a setback in the economic recovery.

Digital & Integration

Digital & Integration revenue of $857 million decreased 4% sequentially due to seasonally lower sales of digital and exploration data licenses primarily in North America and Europe/CIS/Africa. This decline was partially offset by strong contribution from our APS projects in Ecuador with the resumption of production following the pipeline disruptions in the previous quarter.

Digital & Integration pretax operating margin of 34% contracted 372 bps sequentially primarily due to the effects of lower sales of digital and exploration data licenses.

Reservoir Performance

Reservoir Performance revenue of $1.2 billion decreased 6% sequentially due to seasonal activity reductions, primarily in the Northern Hemisphere as well as reduced intervention and stimulation activity in Latin America. Revenue was also impacted by the depreciation of the ruble.

Reservoir Performance pretax operating margin of 13% contracted 232 bps sequentially due to reduced profitability from seasonally lower evaluation and stimulation activity, primarily in the Northern Hemisphere.

Well Construction

Well Construction revenue of $2.4 billion was slightly higher sequentially driven by strong drilling activity in North America, Latin America, and the Middle East that was largely offset by seasonal reductions in Europe/CIS/Africa and Asia as well as the effects of the depreciation of the ruble.

Well Construction pretax operating margin of 16% expanded 77 bps sequentially due to improved profitability in integrated drilling.

Production Systems

Production Systems revenue of $1.6 billion declined 9% sequentially due to lower sales of well production systems across all areas and reduced revenue from subsea projects. Revenue was temporarily impacted by supply chain and logistics constraints resulting in lower-than-expected product deliveries.

Production Systems pretax operating margin of 7% declined 192 bps sequentially. The margin contraction was primarily due to reduced profitability in well production systems driven by the impact of global supply chain and logistics constraints.

15

First Quarter2022Compared to First Quarter2021

First quarter 2022 revenue of $6.0 billion increased 14% year-on-year. Year-on-year revenue growth was led by Well Construction and Reservoir Performance, both of which grew more than 20%-outperforming global rig count growth. Digital & Integration revenue grew 11%, while Production Systems revenue increased 1%. In Digital & Integration, growth was driven by strong digital sales, increased exploration data license sales, and higher revenue from APS projects. In contrast, Production Systems growth was temporarily hampered by ongoing supply chain and logistics constraints, resulting in lower-than-expected product deliveries.

On a geographical basis, revenue growth compared to the same quarter last year was broad-based, with international revenue increasing 10% and North America growing 32%. International growth was widespread across all areas, led by Latin America. Europe/CIS/Africa grew primarily from higher Production Systems sales in Turkey and increased exploration drilling in offshore Africa. Middle East & Asia revenue increased due to higher drilling, stimulation, and intervention activity. In North America, growth was pervasive across drilling and completions activity, coupled with a strong contribution from the APS project in Canada.

Digital & Integration

First quarter 2022 revenue increased 11% to $0.9 billion, with growth in all areas driven by strong digital sales, increased exploration data license sales, and higher revenue from APS projects.

Year-on-year, pretax operating margin expanded 201 bps to 34% with improvement across all areas due to increased profitability in digital, exploration data licenses, and APS projects.

Reservoir Performance

First quarter 2022 revenue increased 21% to $1.2 billion as double-digit growth was posted in evaluation, intervention, and stimulation services both on land and offshore, with more exploration-related activity during the quarter.

Pretax operating margin expanded 299 bps year-on-year to 13%, due to improved profitability in evaluation and intervention activity.

16

Well Construction

First quarter 2022 revenue of $2.4 billion increased 24% year-on-year. Double-digit growth was recorded in drilling fluids, measurements, and in integrated drilling activity both on land and offshore.

Pretax operating margin expanded 534 bps year-on-year to 16%, with profitability improving in integrated drilling, equipment sales, and measurements services.

Production Systems

First quarter revenue of $1.6 billion increased 1% year-on-year. Double-digit growth in North America and Europe & Africa was driven by new projects in contrast to reductions in Middle East & Asia and Latin America resulting from the end of projects and temporary supply chain constraints.

Pretax operating margin of 7% declined 159 bps year-on-year. The margin contraction was primarily due to reduced profitability in well production systems driven primarily by the impact of global supply chain and logistics constraints.

Interest and Other Income

Interest & other incomeconsisted of the following:

Other

Research & engineering andGeneral & administrativeexpenses, as a percentage of Revenue, for the first quarter ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 were as follows:

The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2022 was 18%, as compared to 19% for the same period of 2021.

Charges and Credits

On December 31, 2020, Schlumberger contributed its onshore hydraulic fracturing business in the United States and Canada, including its pressure pumping, pumpdown perforating and Permian frac sand business to Liberty Energy Inc. ("Liberty") in exchange for an equity interest in Liberty. During the first quarter of 2022, Schlumberger sold 7.2 million of its shares of Liberty and received proceeds of $84 million. As a result of this transaction Schlumberger recognized a gain of $26 million. This gain is classified in Interest & other incomein the Consolidated Statement of Income. As of March 31, 2022, Schlumberger had a 27% equity interest in Liberty.

Schlumberger did not record any charges or credits during the first quarter of 2021.

17

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Details of the components of liquidity as well as changes in liquidity follow:

Key liquidity events during the first three months of 2022 and 2021 included:

18

As of March 31, 2022, Schlumberger had $2.65 billion of cash and short-term investments on hand. Schlumberger had committed debt facility agreements aggregating $6.58 billion, all of which was available and unused. Schlumberger believes these amounts are sufficient to meet future business requirements for at least the next 12 months.

There were no borrowings under the commercial paper programs at March 31, 2022.

On April 21, 2022, Schlumberger's Board of Directors approved a 40% increase in the quarterly cash dividend from $0.125 per share of outstanding common stock to $0.175 per share, beginning with the dividend payable on July 14, 2022, to stockholders of record on June 1, 2022.

Schlumberger maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts in order to record accounts receivable at their net realizable value. Judgment is involved in recording and making adjustments to this reserve. Allowances have been recorded for receivables believed to be uncollectible, including amounts for the resolution of potential credit and other collection issues such as disputed invoices. Adjustments to the allowance may be required in future periods depending on how such potential issues are resolved, or if the financial condition of Schlumberger's customers were to deteriorate resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments. As a large multinational company with a long history of operating in a cyclical industry, Schlumberger has extensive experience in working with its customers during difficult times to manage its accounts receivable.

Schlumberger generates revenue in more than 120 countries. As of March 31, 2022, only four of those countries individually accounted for greater than 5% of Schlumberger's net receivable balance, of which only two (the United States and Mexico) accounted for greater than 10% of such receivables.

Included in Receivables, less allowance for doubtful accountsin the Consolidated Balance Sheetas of March 31, 2022 is approximately $0.6 billion of receivables relating to Mexico. Schlumberger's receivables from its primary customer in Mexico are not in dispute and Schlumberger has not historically had any material write-offs due to uncollectible accounts receivable relating to this customer.

Item 5. Other Information.

In 2013, Schlumberger completed the wind down of its service operations in Iran. Prior to this, certain non-US subsidiaries provided oilfield services to the National Iranian Oil Company and certain of its affiliates ("NIOC").

Schlumberger's residual transactions or dealings with the government of Iran during the first quarter of 2022 consisted of payments of taxes and other typical governmental charges. Certain non-US subsidiaries of Schlumberger maintain depository accounts at the Dubai branch of Bank Saderat Iran ("Saderat"), and at Bank Tejarat ("Tejarat") in Tehran and in Kish for the deposit by NIOC of amounts owed to non-US subsidiaries of Schlumberger for prior services rendered in Iran and for the maintenance of such amounts previously received. One non-US subsidiary also maintained an account at Tejarat for payment of local expenses such as taxes. Schlumberger anticipates that it will discontinue dealings with Saderat and Tejarat following the receipt of all amounts owed to Schlumberger for prior services rendered in Iran.
