In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the
financial position and the results of operations have been made in the
accompanying interim financial statements. The Company's significant accounting
policies are summarized in its 1998 Annual Report. These policies have been
consistently applied during the interim period presented in this report. The
results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1999
are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected
for the entire year.

Contingencies
- -------------

The Company and its subsidiaries comply with government laws and regulations and
responsible management practices for the protection of the environment. The
Consolidated Balance Sheet includes accruals for the estimated future costs
associated with certain environmental remediation activities related to the past
use or disposal of hazardous materials. Substantially all such costs relate to
monitoring and maintenance requirements at facilities or locations that are no
longer in operation. Due to a number of uncertainties, including uncertainty of
timing, future technology, regulatory changes and other factors, it is possible
that the ultimate costs may exceed the amounts estimated. However, in the
opinion of management, such additional costs are not expected to be material
relative to consolidated liquidity, financial position or future results of
operations.

In addition, the Company and its subsidiaries are party to various other legal
proceedings. Although the ultimate disposition of these proceedings is not
presently determinable, in the opinion of the Company, any liability that might
ensue would not be material in relation to the Consolidated Financial
Statements.

OFFSHORE CONTRACT DRILLING BUSINESS
- -----------------------------------

On July 12, 1999, Schlumberger Limited and Transocean Offshore Inc. announced
the signing of a definitive merger agreement under which the offshore contract
drilling business of Schlumberger (Sedco Forex Offshore) will be spun off and
promptly combined with Transocean Offshore in a merger of equals. The
transaction is expected to close by December 31, 1999.

Under the proposed agreement, Schlumberger stockholders will own 52 percent of
the fully diluted stock in the resulting company, Transocean Sedco Forex Inc.
Assuming the outstanding fully diluted share count of Transocean Offshore on
June 30, 1999 (approximately 101 million shares), Schlumberger stockholders
would receive approximately 109 million shares in the resulting company. Based
on the Schlumberger shares outstanding on June 30, 1999, Schlumberger
stockholders would receive approximately 1 newly issued Transocean Sedco Forex
share for every 5 Schlumberger shares held. The 109 million shares to be issued
for the transaction would be valued at approximately $3.2 billion using the
closing price of Transocean Offshore stock on July 9, 1999, the last full
trading day prior to the announcement of the transaction. The fully diluted
ratio of ownership in the stock of the resulting company is fixed and not
subject to adjustment. The spin-off and the merger transactions are expected to
be free of US federal income taxes and will be accounted for as a purchase with
Sedco Forex Offshore as the accounting acquirer.

The agreement has been approved by the Board of Directors of Transocean Offshore
and Schlumberger, and is subject to the approval of the stockholders of both
companies as well as regulatory approvals and other customary closing
conditions.

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

              Second Quarter 1999 Compared to Second Quarter 1998
              ---------------------------------------------------

Second quarter operating revenue of $2.17 billion was 29% below second quarter
1998. Net income and diluted earnings per share were $127 million and $0.23,
both 67% lower than the same period last year.

Oilfield Services revenue decreased 32%, while the rig count fell 34%. Revenue
fell in all the geographic regions and across all Oilfield Services activities.

Resource Management Services revenue was down 6%. Test & Transactions revenue
was 22% lower than in the second quarter of 1998 as Smart Cards & Terminals and
Automated Test Equipment (ATE) revenue decreased.

OILFIELD SERVICES

Oilfield Services operating revenue declined 32% during the second quarter of
1999 as the rig count decreased 34%. Revenue decreased in all major geographic
regions and across all oilfield services. Pretax operating income fell 67%.
Geographical comments exclude Camco, which is reported separately.

On July 12, Schlumberger and Transocean Offshore Inc. announced the signing of a
definitive merger agreement under which the offshore contract drilling business
of Schlumberger (Sedco Forex Offshore) will be spun off and promptly combined
with Transocean Offshore in a merger of equals. The resulting company,
Transocean Sedco Forex Inc., will be the world's largest offshore drilling
company and is projected to become the fourth largest oilfield service company
in terms of market capitalization. This strategic move will permit Schlumberger
Oilfield Services GeoMarkets to increase their concentration on value-added
reservoir optimization services.

On July 14, Schlumberger and Smith International announced the completion of a
restructured transaction related to the combination of their drilling fluids
operations except for Schlumberger's US drilling fluids assets and operations
under a joint venture agreement. The joint venture will form the largest
drilling and completion fluids business in the world. The United States
Department of Justice, in a contempt petition dated July 27, 1999, seeking
criminal and civil penalties, has challenged this transaction for allegedly
violating a 1994 civil consent decree in a proceeding to which Schlumberger was
not a party. Schlumberger and Smith are vigorously contesting this challenge.

Further demonstrating the Schlumberger focus on reservoir optimization,
Schlumberger signed a letter of intent on July 8, to acquire Calgary-based
Merak, a market leader in petroleum software solutions for economic evaluation,
decision and risk analysis, field optimization and data visualization. In
addition, on June 30, Schlumberger acquired substantially all of the assets of
Calgary-based Panther Software Corporation, a provider of hardware and software
products and services for managing, indexing, loading and cataloging large
volumes of seismic data throughout the seismic data lifecycle.

<PAGE>

North America
- -------------

In North America, quarterly revenue of $320 million declined 43%, as the rig
count fell 40%. Pretax operating income fell 92%. All parts of North America
experienced weakness except Eastern Canada. Recently introduced technologies
such as ClearFrac* fracturing fluid and PowerJet* perforating services, whose
revenue is growing due to premium pricing, are having a positive impact on
results linked to the improvement of customers' reservoir productivity.

Latin America
- -------------

In Latin America, quarterly revenue of $227 million declined 31% over the same
quarter last year as the rig count dropped 29%. Pretax operating income
decreased 79%. All areas were affected by the downturn, although relatively
stable deepwater drilling contracts and data management revenue growth softened
the impact of reduced activity.

The new Schlumberger seismic vessel, Geco Eagle, has broken several world
records during its first acquisition job in Brazil. The vessel took fewer than
seven days between deploying the first streamer section and recording the first
commercial 10-streamer production. Now in full production, Geco Eagle is the
first vessel in the world to deploy 60 km (37.3 mi) of streamer. Geco Eagle has
also achieved the biggest single-vessel tow, ten 6000-m (3.73-mi) streamers, as
well as the largest footprint ever recorded.

Schlumberger also recently helped advance the industry record for extended-reach
drilling beyond 10,585 m (34,728 ft) in Argentina. The well was drilled and
cased in 128 days and reached a total depth of 11,184 m (36,693 ft), a world
record in itself for slim holes.

Europe/CIS/West Africa
- ----------------------

Quarterly revenue of $416 million declined 33% as the rig count fell 32% (rig
count changes exclude the CIS). Pretax operating income decreased 82%. On June
30, Schlumberger acquired a majority interest in Caspian Geophysical, the
leading provider of marine seismic acquisition services in the Caspian Sea. This
company will now offer a substantially expanded array of seismic services,
including the immediate addition to its fleet of the world-class marine seismic
vessel Geco Gamma.

Other Eastern Hemisphere
- ------------------------

Quarterly revenue of $423 million declined 25% as the rig count declined 20%.
Pretax operating income decreased 42%. Activity fell across the region with the
exception of data management, which continued to grow in Asia. Activity in East
Asia benefited from strong growth in MAXPRO* production services.

Revolutionary CHFR* cased hole formation resistivity technology was successfully
used to log a well in the Middle East. This breakthrough technology allows
formation measurements to be made in wells that have already been cased in order
to evaluate production performance and increase ultimate reservoir recovery.

                                      -11-
<PAGE>

Camco
- -----

Quarterly revenue of $177 million declined 19%, and pretax operating income
decreased 51%. Activity decreased in all regions, except in the Middle East-
Africa region for Reed-Hycalog, in Europe for Camco Products & Services and in
the US and Venezuela for Production Operators, Inc.

Production Operators' revenue increased significantly over second quarter 1998
levels, reflecting continued expansion of its services in the US and Latin
America. This growth is driven by customers' increased outsourcing of their gas
compression requirements as they seek flexibility in gas compression assets and
improved performance to reduce overall costs.

In Venezuela, Production Operators was awarded a $75-million gas compression
contract for the 7000-hp expansion of a customer's existing compression
facilities. The scope of work includes a 15-year operation and maintenance
contract for the existing facility plus the expansion. Production Operators also
signed an alliance agreement for compression services in South Texas. The
agreement term is three years, and revenue should exceed $10 million. Reda
received its first performance-based contract in Indonesia for installing
submersible pumps in up to 45 wells. This project is based on a technically
challenging and innovative application of submersible pumps.

Contract Drilling Activity
- --------------------------

The offshore rig utilization rate was 76%, compared with 94% over the same
period last year. The semisubmersible utilization rate decreased from 97% to
74%, while jackup utilization declined from 100% to 83%. The industry offshore
rig utilization continued to fall during the second quarter of 1999, dropping
from 95% in the second quarter last year to 69% this year. At the end of June
1999, the Schlumberger offshore fleet comprised 49 rigs, which included 24
semisubmersibles, 16 jackups, 2 drillships, 4 tenders and 3 lake barges. Sedco
Forex Offshore revenue and net income in the quarter were $165 million and $34
million, respectively, compared with $278 million and $104 million,
respectively, last year.

Onshore utilization fell to 44% from 97% a year ago. At June 30, the land fleet
consisted of 35 rigs, which included 6 swamp barges and 29 land rigs.

RESOURCE MANAGEMENT SERVICES

Resource Management Services (RMS) recorded a 6% decline in revenue in the
second quarter compared with last year. Orders increased 2%. Pretax operating
income included a charge of $15 million ($11 million after tax) due to the
write-off of certain assets, including a provision for the divestiture of a
small business.

Revenue was up 1% in North America. Electricity and water meter factories
continued to work at record levels, due mainly to a strong new housing market in
the US and Canada, as well as to new and substantial meter replacement programs
initiated by utilities. Orders in North America were up 13% compared with last
year. Supporting the trend toward integrated solutions contracting, a leading
utility in the US selected RMS as preferred vendor to provide automatic meter
reading (AMR) services for more than two million electric and gas meters. In
addition, RMS won an important universal water meter system contract to supply

                                      -12-
<PAGE>

residential and industrial meters to the City of Niagara Falls. There was also
strong market interest for our newly introduced R900* radio-frequency water
meter system, used to provide drive-by reading services.

In Europe, revenue was down 5%, due to a negative currency effect from a
stronger US dollar, to poor business conditions in the CIS, and to a decline in
activity for services in the UK and for electricity and gas businesses in
Germany. However, UK gas and water activity grew, as did the electricity
business in France and Spain. Orders were down 6% overall due to currency
erosion, economic conditions in the CIS, softness in Germany and postponement to
the third quarter of a large electricity contract in Italy, but were higher in
the electricity markets in France, Spain and The Netherlands. RMS won a major
contract to supply 20,000 Gallus* 2000 meters equipped with radio communication
modules developed jointly with Itron. The contract is the largest remote meter
reading project for natural gas in France.

South American second quarter revenue fell 18% compared with last year, while
orders increased 6%. The drop in revenue reflected a significant falloff in
Brazil's domestic activity due to wide-scale public spending cuts and the
devaluation of the national currency. RMS received a significant order for AMR
service to monitor electricity transmissions at border points in Brazil.

In Asia, second quarter revenue was up 27%, reflecting both a return of some
investment to the region after the economic downturn last year and continued
growth in export deliveries. Shipments of water meters commenced from a new
factory in South Australia. Orders were 106% higher than in the second quarter
of 1998.

TEST & TRANSACTIONS

Test & Transactions orders, including customer solutions activities, were up 11%
compared with the same quarter last year and up 2% over last quarter. Revenue
decreased 22% versus last year and 5% versus the first quarter of 1999.

Smart Cards & Terminals orders decreased 2% versus last year and increased 4%
over last quarter. Orders for cards were up significantly year over year, with
strong bookings in Europe for our recently introduced Cyberflex Simera* high-
capacity, multiapplication smart card. Financial banking card orders grew
strongly due to groundbreaking orders.

Smart Cards & Terminals revenue was 5% below last year and 2% above last
quarter, mainly due to lower payphone sales in Europe. Smart cards revenue in
the second quarter was even with last year as an increase in Europe was offset
by a decrease in North America. Revenue in Asia was flat compared with last year
as an increase in unit volumes was offset by a decline in pricing.

Prepaid phone card sales grew in China, Mexico and South America. Smart card
revenue improvement in Europe was led by higher GSM-SIM (subscriber identity
module) card sales. Asian smart card volumes increased as several Chinese banks
standardized on the Qianflex* banking smart card. A major financial cards issuer
in the US placed a significant first order as part of a new branded smart card
loyalty program. The program takes advantage of the smart card's ability to
deliver more information about cardholders' transactions. A total of 1.5 million
cards will be delivered in the initial rollout.

Compared with last year, Municipalities (Parking and Mass Transit) showed solid
revenue growth. The Municipalities business provides city councils and local
governments throughout the world with integrated smart card-based solutions for
mass transit, parking and telecommunications. During the quarter, projects were
awarded by Belgium Railways and the Parisian Regional Transport Authority. In
addition, a new integrated fare ticketing system was successfully installed in
London.

Automated Test Equipment (ATE) orders were up 39% over the same period last year
and down 2% compared with last quarter. Orders for all major product lines grew
compared with year-ago levels. Several new products in each business segment
were commercially launched. Investments made to broaden our product portfolio
produced incremental orders across the front-end and back-end semiconductor
manufacturing chain. System-On-Chip (SOC) [mixed signal] Testers, Verification
Systems and Automated Systems all showed increased orders due to new product
introductions. Test systems experienced the highest order rate since the first
quarter of 1998, resulting from increased demand by our two largest customers.
Multiple system orders for the new RDX2200* series of RDRAM** memory test
systems were received from memory manufacturers in Korea, Japan and North
America. The RDX2200 series is the most cost-effective RDRAM test solution
available and provides the industry's highest level of yield-producing accuracy
and throughput performance. Schlumberger is well positioned to lead this new
memory test technology market.

ATE revenue for the second quarter declined 50% year over year and 19%
sequentially, primarily due to the decreased backlog entering 1999.

SABER* (Schlumberger Advanced Business Engineering Resources), the semiconductor
customer solutions business, continued to grow substantially. To meet customer
requirements for reducing time-to-market, eight SABER Technology Centers will
open during 1999. The second facility, the Silicon Valley Technology Center in
California, opened in the second quarter. This Technology Center offers Rambus**
characterization and fabless supply chain services related to the manufacture of
RDRAM, ASIC and SOC devices.

INCOME STATEMENT

Interest and other income increased $20 million from the same period last year
primarily due to a $23 million increase in interest income (higher average
investment balances). Gross margin decreased from 28% to 22%. Research and
engineering expense declined 14% from last year representing 5.9% of operating
revenue compared with 4.9% in 1998. Marketing expense was down 9%. General
expense, expressed as a percentage of operating revenue, increased from 3.7% to
4.5%. Interest expense increased $25 million due to significantly higher debt
balances relating to the financing of the Camco merger. Effective tax rate of
17% decreased six percentage points from last year.

                  First Half 1999 Compared to First Half 1998
                  -------------------------------------------

First half operating revenue of $4.48 billion was 27% lower than the same period
last year. Before the first quarter charge, net income and diluted earnings per
share were $307 million and $0.55, both 60% below the same period last year.

<PAGE>


OILFIELD SERVICES

Oilfield Services revenue decreased 29%, while the rig count fell 34%. Revenue
decreased in all the geographic regions and across all Oilfield Services
activities. Pretax operating income was down 61%. The following geographic
comments exclude Camco, which is reported separately.

North America
- -------------

Revenue of $667 million decreased 42% compared with the first six months of
1998, and pretax operating income was down 91%. The rig count declined 41%. All
areas of North America experienced weakness, except for Eastern Canada. US Land
market suffered the steepest declines. New technologies, such as the PS
PLATFORM* production suite and PowerJet* shaped charges, which improve overall
production performance for clients and command a premium price, have softened
the impact on profitability.

Latin America
- -------------

Latin American revenue of $437 million declined 34% from last year, and pretax
operating income decreased 77%. The rig count declined 32%. All areas
experienced revenue shortfalls with marine seismic suffering the largest
declines while Argentina and Venezuela declined less than other areas. Contract
drilling revenue was in line with last year due to ongoing deepwater contracts.
Revenue from data management services increased as client interest in integrated
applications and solutions continues to grow.

Europe/CIS/West Africa
- ----------------------

Revenue of $890 million fell 28% compared with the prior year. Pretax operating
income decreased 72%. U.K. and West & South Africa were severely impacted by the
activity downturn.

Other Eastern Hemisphere
- ------------------------

Revenue of $894 million declined 19% from the same period last year, and pretax
operating income decreased 35%. Activity was weak in all regions with the
exception of data management, which is driven by higher growth in Asia.

Camco

Revenue of $364 million declined 16%, and pretax operating income decreased 47%
compared with the prior year.

Production Operators' revenue increased 31% following strong demand in gas
compression in the US and Latin America. Camco was awarded two large contracts
by Venezuela to construct and service gas compression facilities.

After successfully drilling the world's longest extended-reach multilateral well
at Wytch Farm in the UK, Schlumberger installed its first Camco intelligent
completion in this oil field. This technology allows production to be
independently controlled in both lateral wells using three Camco downhole flow-
control modules.

<PAGE>

RESOURCE MANAGEMENT SERVICES

Resource Management Services revenue was down 5% compared with the first six
months of 1998, due to weak market conditions in South America. Orders declined
15%. Pretax operating loss included a charge of $15 million ($11 million after
tax) due to the write-off of certain assets, including a provision for the
divestiture of a small business.

Revenue in North America rose 3%. A strong housing market in the US and Canada
has boosted the demand for electricity and water meters. Sales also increased in
the replacement market for more advanced and high-accuracy QUANTUM* Q1000
electricity meters and in sales of water products in Mexico. Orders were down
from last year, which included a large order from Illinois Power. Revenue from
South America dropped 29% while orders declined 23%, following market
uncertainty relating to the budget cuts and currency devaluation in Brazil.

In Europe, revenue was 4% below last year partly due to a strong US dollar.
Lower service and maintenance revenues in the UK, reduced demand for electricity
and gas products in Germany and poor economic conditions in the CIS also
contributed to the decline. Orders were 3% lower than last year mainly due to
the above mentioned countries.

Asia revenue increased 22% reflecting an improved economy in the region with
growth in shipments of residential electricity meters to Taiwan and commercial
and industrial meters to Thailand. Orders were up 67% from last year.

TEST & TRANSACTIONS

Revenue was down 18% from last year reflecting disappointing results in
Automated Test Equipment (ATE) due to a slow recovery in the semiconductor
industry. Orders were down 3%.

Smart Cards & Terminals revenue rose 4% over the same period last year, mainly
due to higher subscriber identity module-based (SIM) card sales, including the
first deliveries of the latest high-capacity multiapplication CyberflexSimera*
smart card. Asian smart card revenue grew as a result of the first Qianflex*
smart card sales in China and improved sales of phone cards. Sales in
Municipalities (Parking and Mass Transit) rose strongly with higher shipments of
the new, intelligent Stelio* parking systems.

Revenue for ATE declined 49% compared with last year. Orders at ATE were up 71%
compared to the previous six months. Diagnostic system orders increased as a
result of the introduction of the IDS2000* probe system and engineering tool.
Orders also grew strongly in telecom systems. Revenue benefited from growth in
SABER* (Schlumberger Advanced Business Engineering Resources) activity, which
provides innovative business and engineering services to help semiconductor
manufacturers increase productivity.

INCOME STATEMENT

Interest and other income increased $152 million from the same period last year
primarily due to a $103 million gain on sale of financial instruments relating
to the sale of Retail Petroleum Systems, and a $50 million increase in interest
income (higher average investment balances). Excluding the first quarter charge,
gross margin decreased from 28% to 23%. Research and engineering expense
declined 10% from last year representing 5.9% of operating revenue compared with
4.8% in 1998. Marketing expense was down 8%. General expense, expressed as a
percentage of operating revenue, increased from 3.7% to 4.5%. Interest expense
increased $53 million due to significantly higher debt balances relating to the
financing of the Camco merger. Effective tax rate of 20% decreased four
percentage point from last year.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
- ------------------------

In 1998, the Company adopted SFAS 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information." All prior periods have been restated. For
details, see "Segment Information" on page 9 of this 10-Q report.

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," which requires
that the Company recognize all derivative instruments as either assets or
liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those instruments
at fair value. The standard is effective in the year 2001 for the Company.
Occasionally, the Company uses derivative instruments such as interest rate
swaps, currency swaps, forward currency contracts and foreign currency options.
Forward currency contracts provide a hedge against currency fluctuations on
assets/liabilities denominated in other than a functional currency. Options are
usually entered into to hedge against currency variations on firm commitments
generally involving the construction of long-lived assets such as seismic
vessels and drilling rigs. The Company does not anticipate that the
implementation of the new standard will have a material effect on the
consolidated financial position and results of operations.

YEAR 2000 READINESS DISCLOSURE
- ------------------------------

Overview

The "Year 2000 issue" is the inability of computers and computing technology to
process the Year 2000 date change correctly. The Company recognizes that the
Year 2000 issue creates a significant uncertainty to its business, and has a
proactive, Company-wide Year 2000 Readiness Program (the "Program").

As part of the Program, most non-ready systems have been replaced or upgraded
with new systems that will provide certain competitive benefits, as well as
ensure Year 2000 readiness to minimize customer and shareholder business
disruptions caused by this issue. A Company-wide task force was formed in late
1997 to provide guidance to the Company's business units and monitor progress of
the Program. The Company has also consulted with and engaged various third
parties, including outside consultants and service providers, to assist the
Company in its Program efforts.

In 1994, the Company decided to upgrade its main internal business systems with
Year 2000-ready programs. The planned upgrades will be completed in September
1999. Those aspects of the Company's internal business systems that are not
scheduled to be covered by this upgrade effort are being separately addressed
through an upgrade of existing legacy systems to Year 2000-ready status. These
upgrades also will be completed in September 1999.

                                      -17-
<PAGE>

Due to the Company's centralized engineering/manufacturing profile, more than
80% of Year 2000 efforts affecting products and services have been concentrated
in our major engineering and manufacturing sites. The Year 2000 readiness of the
Company's key products and services was over 90% complete as of July 1999 and
the remaining products and services are expected to be Year 2000 ready in
September 1999. A Year 2000 Quality Assurance Program is in place to maintain
strong project discipline and to monitor and report Program issues and progress
to management.

The Company's field operating units have been actively involved in a Year 2000
Field Readiness program since October 1998 to cover key business applications,
products and services not covered by the engineering/manufacturing efforts. This
program is 75% complete and is expected to be completed in September 1999.

Program Description

The Program uses a business risk assessment and prioritization approach and is
intended to produce Year 2000-ready products/services and to minimize
disruptions in business operations. The Program is divided into three major
readiness categories: Assets, Information Technology (IT) and Commercial. Within
each category, there are two Program stages.

- - Stage I: Assessment and Preparation - this stage focuses on up-front planning,
  data gathering and correction planning. This includes raising Year 2000
  awareness; carrying out a detailed business unit asset inventory; assessing
  the scope of the Year 2000 problem; determining appropriate corrections,
  testing/validation, acceptance and deployment approaches; and preparing
  project plans and budgets.

- - Stage II: Repairs, Testing and Deployment - this stage focuses on "fixing"
  Year 2000 problems (and testing these fixes), followed by user-acceptance,
  redeployment and operational validation of the fixed (i.e., repaired,
  replaced, etc.) systems.

Assets. This category consists of (1) products and services the Company either
sells or uses to provide services to our customers, and (2) hardware and
software associated with embedded computer chips that are used in the operation
of our products and facilities. Program progress under this category is on
schedule. The activities related to Year 2000 readiness of assets are more than
90% complete as of March 1999 with the remainder expected to be Year 2000 ready
in September 1999.

Information Technology. This category deals with traditional IT infrastructure,
such as business applications, computer hardware/software, IT networks and
communication equipment. The implementation of the MFG/PRO*** system is
complete. Implementation of the SAP**** system should be completed in the US and
Canada by October 1999. The Company intends to repair associated legacy systems
outside the US and Canada. This plan uses independent contractors, legacy system
vendors and Company employees to rewrite and test certain software modules. This
program is on schedule and expected to conclude in September 1999. The
activities associated with other systems in this IT category (computer
hardware/software, IT networks and communications equipment) also are on
schedule. Stage I activities have been completed and Stage II activities are
expected to be concluded in August 1999.

                                      -18-
<PAGE>

Commercial. This category deals with the Company's efforts to avoid being
adversely affected by Year 2000 issues from external entities (suppliers,
financial institutions, service providers, etc.) not affiliated with the
Company. Stage I of the Program includes a process for mitigating the Year 2000
issues associated with key suppliers. The Company is continuing to communicate
with its key suppliers, business partners and customers seeking their assurances
that they will be Year 2000 ready. Based on assessment of these responses the
Company is developing contingency plans for those areas that pose significant
risk from the Year 2000 issue; however, the Company could potentially experience
disruptions to some aspects of its operations from non-compliant systems
utilized by unrelated third-party entities. Work in this category is on
schedule. The business units have completed their Stage I activities and Stage
II efforts are expected to be completed in September 1999.

Contingency Planning

The Company has reviewed the activities associated with each category and is
determining those activities at risk or having the potential to cause business
disruption. Appropriate contingency plans are being implemented for each of the
"at risk" activities to minimize the effect of the potential Year 2000
disruption, both internally and on the Company's customers. Furthermore, a Year
2000 rollover plan is also being developed for any mission essential systems
that will need to be live and supported over critical Year 2000 dates. As part
of this plan, a Year 2000 helpdesk structure will be implemented throughout our
global operations to support existing organizational structures in any
potentially escalating Year 2000 issues during the critical millennium rollover
period. This process will commence in the early hours of December 31, 1999 and
continue for hours, days, or weeks as circumstances require.

Costs

Year 2000 Program funding requirements have been incorporated into the Company's
capital and operating plans and are not expected to have an adverse material
impact on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
The Company estimates the cost of the Program to in the order of $60 million
(approximately $52 million spent to date), with a breakdown of costs estimated
at 34% for employee resources (approximately 130 man-years), 25% for IT-related
upgrades and repair and 41% for non-IT embedded chip technology. It should be
noted that these costs do not include the normal upgrading of business systems,
products and applications already defined by our business plans.

Risks

Dates and schedules for the Company's Year 2000 Program are based on
management's best estimates, which involve numerous assumptions, including, but
not limited to, the results from Stage I assessments; the actual Stage II fixes;
the continued availability of certain resources; third parties' Year 2000 status
and plans; and other factors. There can be no guarantee that these estimates
will be achieved, or that there will not be delays in, or increased costs
associated with, implementation of the Year 2000 Program. Specific factors that
might cause differences between present estimates and actual results include,
but are not limited to, the availability and cost of skilled personnel,
consultants, and independent contractors; the ability to locate and correct all
relevant computer code; timely and effective action by third parties and
suppliers; broad failures of customers' systems, or customer concerns for such
possible failures, leading to customer decisions preventing the Company from
providing services/products (which the Company otherwise would be capable of
providing); and the failure, domestically and internationally, of third parties'
systems.

                                      -19-
<PAGE>

Because of the general uncertainty inherent in the Year 2000 issues (partially
attributable to the interconnection of global businesses), the Company cannot
confidently predict its ability to resolve appropriately all Year 2000 issues
that may affect its operations and business or expose it to third-party
liability. The failure to correct a Year 2000 problem could result in an
interruption in, or a failure of, certain normal business activities or
operations. Such failures could materially and adversely affect the Company's
operations, liquidity and financial condition. Because of the uncertainties
described above, the Company presently is unable to determine whether the
consequences of such Year 2000 failures will have a material impact on the
Company's results of operations, liquidity or financial condition.

EURO DISCLOSURES
- ----------------

On January 1, 1999, the euro became the official single currency of the European
Economic and Monetary Union. As of this date, the conversion rates of the
national currencies of the eleven member states adopting the euro were fixed
irrevocably. The national currencies will initially remain in circulation as
nondecimal sub-units of the euro and will be replaced by euro bills and coins by
July 2002. During the transition period between January 1999 and January 2002,
public and private parties may pay for goods and services using either the euro
or the national currency on a "no compulsion, no prohibition" basis.

A Euro Readiness Program has been established throughout Schlumberger to ensure
that all business segments meet the euro requirements. To this effect, a Euro
Steering Committee has been established and, to maintain focus on the
Schlumberger euro implementation program, project teams have been set up
throughout the Company. Euro implementation plans cover both phases of the euro
implementation. Initially these plans will ensure that, progressively through
1999, all business units of Schlumberger will be able to transact in the euro.
Thereafter, ensuring that during the transitional period all corporate,
financial, commercial, employment and other documentation that refer to the
participating currencies are converted to the euro in accordance with the
regulatory requirements.

During the transition period conversion rates can no longer be computed directly
from one participating currency to another. Instead, a triangulation algorithm
will be applied which requires that national currency amounts be converted first
to the euro according to the fixed conversion rates before being converted into
the second national currency. This requires specific conversion modules to be
included in business information systems. Furthermore, such programs will be
required to provide the additional functionality needed to convert all
participating currency-denominated financial data to the euro. A review of all
financial information systems has commenced and their functionality for
processing euro transactions is being tested.

Schlumberger recognizes that the euro will affect its various businesses
differently. Oilfield Services operates in an essentially US dollar-denominated
environment in which the introduction of the euro is expected to have limited
consequences. Test & Transactions will be affected in terms of the ability of
products such as smart cards and terminals to process euro transactions.
Resource Management Systems, which has now set up a pan-European manufacturing
structure covering all European Union markets, expects to participate in the
general growth generated by the euro.

                                      -20-
<PAGE>

The increased price transparency created by the euro accompanied by deregulation
and increased competition among our customers, the utilities, should also
contribute to providing new Solutions opportunities in these businesses. The
full assessment of the effects the euro will have on each business segment is
incomplete and, hence, the Company cannot as yet make a final conclusion on the
anticipated business impact the introduction of the single currency will have.

Based upon results to date, the Company believes that the implementation of the
euro can be performed according to the time frame defined by the European Union.
The Company does not expect the total cost of addressing this issue to be
material to financial condition, results of operations and liquidity. This cost
estimate does not include the normal upgrading of business and financial systems
that would be euro ready.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
- --------------------------

The Company cautions that, except for the historical information and discussions
contained herein, statements in this 10-Q report and elsewhere may constitute
forward-looking statements. These include statements as to expectations, beliefs
and future financial performance, such as statements regarding business
prospects in the key industries in which the Company operates and growth
opportunities for the Company in those industries. These statements involve a
number of risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors that could cause
actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking
statements. Such factors include: the extent and duration of the recovery in oil
prices, continuing customer commitment to certain key oilfield projects, growth
in demand for RDRAM memory devices and mixed signal devices produced by the
Company's test equipment customers, general economic and business conditions in
key regions of the world, and changes in business strategy or development plans
relating to the Company's targeted growth opportunities.

Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk.
- ------------------------------------------------------------------

The Company does not believe it has a material exposure to market risk. The
Company manages the exposure to interest rate changes by using a mix of debt
maturities and variable- and fixed-rate debt together with interest rate swaps,
where appropriate, to fix or lower borrowing costs. With regard to foreign
currency fluctuations, the Company enters into various contracts, which change
in value as foreign exchange rates change, to protect the value of external and
intercompany transactions in foreign currencies. The Company does not enter into
foreign currency or interest rate transactions for speculative purposes.
