“SLB takes its responsibility to comply with export control and economic sanction laws extremely seriously, and the company remains aligned with the international community in condemning and calling for an end to the war in Ukraine.”

In May 2023, Reuters reported that SLB had made structural and operational changes to comply with Western sanctions on Russia on technology and oil equipment transfers.

The changes included restricting access to certain software and messaging systems for Russia employees as well as confining off the unit from SLB’s other operations.
