The merger allows Schlumberger to provide services at a lower cost to exploration companies with tight budgets in the depressed oil price environment, although the company will not be allowed to bundle services because of anti-trust laws.
Schlumberger expects the deal will reduce its operating costs by $300 million in its first year and $600 million in its second and improve its market position following the $35-billion merger between its main competitors Halliburton and Baker Hughes.
