INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Retirement Plan Committee of the
Reed Hourly Thrift Plan:
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of the Reed Hourly Thrift Plan as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the related
statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended
December 31, 1998. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Reed Hourly
Thrift Plan as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the changes in net assets
available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 1998, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of assets
held for investment purposes and reportable transactions are presented for the
purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic
financial statements but are supplementary information required by the
Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. These supplemental
schedules are the responsibility of the Plan's management. The Fund Information
in the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits is presented
for purposes of additional analysis rather than to present the changes in net
assets available for plan benefits of each fund. The supplemental schedules and
Fund Information have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the
audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated
in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as
a whole.

REED HOURLY THRIFT PLAN
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 1998
Note 1 - Description of the Plan
The Reed Hourly Thrift Plan (the "Plan"), a defined contribution plan, was
established on January 1, 1991. It covers substantially all bargaining unit
employees of the Reed Tool Company Division of Camco International Inc. (the
"Company"). The following description of the Plan and Plan Amendments is
provided for general purposes only. Participants should refer to the Plan
Document, as amended, for more complete information.
General
Administration of the Plan is conducted by a committee consisting of no less
than three members appointed by the board of directors of the Company. The
board of directors has appointed two officers of the Company as Trustees for the
Plan. American Express Trust Company ("American Express") is asset custodian
and record keeper for the Plan.
Eligibility and Vesting
Employees are eligible to participate in the Plan after completing one hour of
service. Participants are fully vested in their contributions and the related
earnings/losses. Participants vest in Company matching contributions and
related earnings/losses at 20% per year, becoming fully vested after five years
of service. In the event the Plan is partially or completely terminated, all
participants will become 100% vested in their account balances.
Contributions
Participants may elect to defer from 1% to 15% of their compensation on a pre-
tax basis, subject to maximum annual contributions of $10,000 ($9,500 in 1997),
and have the Company contribute to the Plan on their behalf the amount so
deferred. After-tax contributions of up to 10% of compensation are also
permitted. The Company makes matching contributions of 50% of participants'
pre-tax contributions up to a maximum contribution amount of $1,500 per year.
Expenses
The accounts of participants are charged fees of $2.50 per quarter, which are
applied to the cost of administering the Plan. Transaction fees are also
charged for participant loans, withdrawals and distributions. For the years
ending December 31, 1998 and 1997, the Company elected to pay all administrative
expenses in excess of these fees.
-5-
<PAGE>
Withdrawals
All after-tax contributions may be withdrawn by participants by making written
application to the Plan's record keeper. Company matching contributions, pre-
tax contributions and rollover contributions may be withdrawn after the
participant has attained age 59-1/2 or if the participant suffers an immediate
and heavy financial hardship that cannot be satisfied from other reasonably
available resources. Additionally, Company matching contributions may be
withdrawn only if they have been credited to a participant's account for more
than two years. No more than one withdrawal may be made during any calendar
quarter.
Loans
Participants may borrow a portion of their account balance to relieve a
financial hardship or for any other suitable purpose. Loan amounts are limited
in accordance with a formula based on 50% of the present value of a
participant's vested account balance, not to exceed $50,000. Loans must be
repaid within five years and are secured by the participant's account balance.
Forfeitures
Participants who terminate employment forfeit the non-vested portion of their
account. Forfeited amounts will be restored for former participants who resume
employment if they repay, within five years, the full amount of termination
distribution they received. Amounts forfeited are used first to restore
accounts, as above, and then to reduce Company contributions.
Note 2 - Corporate Structure and Continuation of Plan
On August 31, 1998, the Company merged into Schlumberger Technology Corporation
("STC"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Schlumberger Limited ("Schlumberger").
Schlumberger maintains defined contribution plans similar to the Plan and
expects to merge the Plan into a Schlumberger plan before the end of 2001.
Nevertheless, the Company has reserved the right to terminate the Plan at any
time by resolution of the board of directors.
Note 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The financial statements of the Plan are presented on the accrual basis of
accounting in compliance with generally accepted accounting principles. Certain
reclassifications have been made to prior year balances to conform to current
year financial statement presentation.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires the Plan administrator to make estimates and
assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly,
actual results may differ from those estimates.
Investments in registered investment companies (mutual funds) are valued at
quoted market prices. American Express Trust Equity Index Fund I and American
Express Trust Income Fund II are collective trusts stated at contract value.
Units of the Camco/Schlumberger Stock Fund, invested primarily in common stock
of Camco before September 1, 1998, and common stock of Schlumberger after August
31, 1998, but also in cash or cash equivalents to provide liquidity, are valued
using quoted market prices for the common stock. Effective January 1, 1998,
American Express changed its method of computing
-6-
<PAGE>
gains and losses on the sale of investments from the average cost method to the
first-in-first-out (FIFO) method. This change in method had no effect on the
accompanying financial statements.
Note 4 - Investment Programs
Participants may invest their account balances and all contributions made to
their accounts in the investment choices described below. Investments may be
made in one or more of the funds in 1% increments and choices may be changed any
business day. The number of participants investing in each fund at December 31,
1998, is shown parenthetically.
IDS International Fund (18 participants)
A specialty growth fund for aggressive investors whose objective is
long-term growth of capital that invests in common stocks of foreign
companies.
IDS New Dimensions Fund (66 participants)
A growth fund for aggressive investors whose objective is long-term
growth of capital that invests in a portfolio of company stocks in
which powerful economic and/or technical changes may take place.
IDS Mutual Fund (32 participants)
A growth and income fund for investors with moderate tolerance for
risk whose objective is balance of growth of capital and current
income that invests in a portfolio of common and preferred stocks and
bonds.
IDS Federal Income Fund (135 participants)
An income fund for conservative investors whose objective is current
income and preservation of capital that invests in a portfolio of U.
S. government and government agency securities.
AIM Constellation Fund (5 participants)
A growth fund for aggressive investors whose objective is capital
appreciation primarily through investments in common stocks with
emphasis on medium-sized and smaller emerging growth companies.
American Express Trust Equity Index Fund I (33 participants)
A growth fund for aggressive investors whose objective is to achieve a
rate of return as close as possible to the return of the Standard &
Poor's 500 Index that employs a passive portfolio structuring and
stock selecting strategy by investing primarily in common stocks of
the S&P 500 Index.
-7-
<PAGE>
American Express Trust Income Fund II (135 participants)
A stable capital fund for conservative investors whose objective is to
preserve principal and income while maximizing current income that
invests in investment contracts and stable value contracts.
Camco/Schlumberger Stock Fund (12 participants)
A stock fund for aggressive investors whose objective is growth of
capital and dividend income that invests in Schlumberger common stock.
On August 31, 1998, Camco shares previously held by this fund were
exchanged for Schlumberger shares. Participants may invest no more
than 25% of their account balances and/or contributions in this fund.
Note 5 - Regulatory Status of the Plan
The Plan was amended and restated on April 21, 1998, to incorporate changes to
the Internal Revenue Code and ERISA as a result of the Uniformed Services
Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994, the Small Business Job
Protection Act of 1996 and the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997. None of the changes
had a material effect on the December 31, 1998 Financial Statements.
The amended Plan was filed with the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") prior
to its adoption. In a determination letter dated February 12, 1998, the IRS
stated that the Plan met the requirements of Section 401(a) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and that the trust established
thereunder was entitled to exemption from federal income tax under the
provisions of Section 501(a) of the Code. Company matching contributions will
not be required to be included in participants' taxable income until they are
distributed to the participants.
The Plan administrator and the Plan's counsel believe that the Plan currently is
designed and being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of
the Code. They believe, therefore, that the Plan was qualified and the related
trust was tax-exempt as of the financial statement date. The Plan is also in
compliance with the provisions of the ERISA.
