2 RESEARCH, ENGINEERING, MANUFACTURING, AND SUSTAINING (REMS) Who are we? Schlumberger is the world s leading oilfield services company supplying technology, information solutions, and integrated project management that optimize reservoir performance for customers working in the oil and gas industry. Reflecting our belief that diversity spurs creativity, collaboration, and understanding of customers needs, we employ over 115,000 people of more than 140 nationalities working in 85 countries. As the global demand for oil and gas continues to increase, so does the demand for solutions-based technology. Our customers want to know how to improve production from existing fields, how to access unconventional sources of energy, and how to find and produce hydrocarbons in increasingly hostile environments. At Schlumberger, we believe the answers will only be found by encouraging the best and the brightest minds to push the limits of imagination. Inventing new technologies is what we do. Because our needs are so specialized, virtually everything we use in the field is created, developed, and manufactured by our own people. The challenges they face are immense. Our solutions must perform under exposure to extreme pressure, temperature, and environmental conditions. In the Schlumberger Research, Engineering, Manufacturing, and Sustaining (REMS) community, you will work with some of the very best scientists and engineers in their fields. You will be immersed in a world where innovation is expected. As a member of the REMS team, your goal will be to become an expert in your own field, recognized and respected not just within Schlumberger but among your peers worldwide.

3 85years of innovation I joined in 2001 after it became evident that the challenges and opportunities for Schlumberger in Russia were increasing by unprecedented proportions. I began work on the Natural Gas Theme Project, coordinating the work of more than 20 experts to produce a study on the technological, economic, and marketing aspects of natural gas products and services. This was quite an opportunity for someone like me with little seniority. In 2003 I moved to the new research center in Moscow, where I am now head of the Mathematics and Modeling Department. It s interesting to be surrounded by such a diverse and highly educated team. It took me some time to convince myself that being a manager in research does not necessarily mean I have to stop doing research. It just needs to be done in a different way!

PhD in Geophysics, Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris. >115,000 employees >140 nationalities ~ 85 countries of operation USD 1 billion spent on research and engineering It s interesting to be surrounded by such a diverse and highly educated team.

4 RESEARCH, ENGINEERING, MANUFACTURING, AND SUSTAINING (REMS) working in REMS At Schlumberger, you will have the opportunity to collaborate with scientific and engineering leaders from both the professional and academic communities. You will join small teams dedicated to projects ranging from initial research and discovery to final delivery of the manufactured solution to our operations in the field. REMS centers Furthering its commitment to scientific leadership, Schlumberger fosters 26 technical communities for employees with similar interests. These communities, ranging from chemistry to well engineering, include 124 special interest groups and over 28,000 employees worldwide. The REMS career path is defined by a formal training and development program during your first 36 months with Schlumberger. Following this period, you can choose to continue your career in research, management, operations, marketing & sales, or technical areas. As part of the technical path, the Schlumberger Eureka Technical Career (SETC) initiative encourages you to advance your career at your own pace. SETC provides proven technical contributors with recognition, reward, and influence, giving them the incentive and opportunities to build careers without losing their technical focus. If you possess a true sense of adventure, you may also qualify for our Tech and Field Program. During the field assignment portion of this program, you will install, operate, and troubleshoot proprietary equipment and solutions under real-world conditions. In a REMS center, you will create, design, build, and deploy the best equipment and solutions in the world. All this is within reach just three to five years after joining the company.

5 The most exciting thing about my career in general is the variety of things I ve been exposed to: everything from the countries, cultures, people, job profiles and responsibilities to the different Schlumberger technologies. There have been lots of highs and many challenges but rarely a dull moment. One of my most memorable moments is the first field test of a downhole sensor I had developed the surface acquisition software for. I followed the job in real time from my PC. The thrill was equivalent to a skydive tandem jump. Thankfully, everything went smoothly. Today I manage a team delivering technical services from India to more than 10 Schlumberger centers worldwide. I interface with many different people something I enjoy enormously even at its most challenging. I also make presentations to top managers visiting our center, and together with my manager and peers I help plan the future of our developing center in Pune.

There have been lots of highs and many challenges but rarely a dull moment. Who we are looking for We need researchers, scientists, and engineers with advanced degrees in engineering or applied science to develop and manufacture high-tech equipment in our REMS centers worldwide: Chemistry, Chemical Engineering Computer Engineering, Computer Science Electrical Engineering, Electronic Engineering Geology, Geophysics Industrial Engineering, Mechanical Engineering Manufacturing, Materials Science Mathematics, Physics Petroleum Engineering Supply Chain and Logistics

6 RESEARCH, ENGINEERING, MANUFACTURING, AND SUSTAINING (REMS) What is the Tech and Field Program? This Schlumberger program combines field and REMS training and exposes you to various types of jobs; its purpose is to help you find the job that best fits your talents and goals. Program participants are selected jointly by recruiting teams from REMS and the field In Stage 1, participants are assigned to field locations all over the world, working as Field Engineers for 15 to 18 months In Stage 2, participants work in an REMS center on one assignment that typically spans two to three years This job development process enables you to gain the priceless background of true field experience, enhance your two-way communication with the field, and ensure higher quality of final product. Who are our candidates? We recruit new hires and current REMS employees: We prefer new hires that have Master s degrees or Postgraduate degrees in Engineering or Earth Sciences. REMS employees must have a minimum of 18 months seniority and be willing to start as Field Engineer trainees in field operations. We need engineers and scientists who are able to work in almost any environment anywhere in the world, delivering services to our customers 24/7. Full mobility is required for your Stage 1 assignment as a Field Engineer; you must be onsite wherever our clients need you whenever they need you. Mobility will remain an important factor throughout your career, but it is not required for your Stage 2 assignment in an REMS center.

7 The Tech and Field Program exposed me to the realities of the oilfield business. I joined Schlumberger in 2001 and was assigned to the manufacturing department at the technology center near Tokyo. But I wanted to experience field operations and understand more about the business, so I applied to the program. It sent me to Canada, where I enjoyed the life of a Field Engineer and experienced different jobs. Today that experience forms the backbone of every task I carry out. After I completed the program, I was assigned to the manufacturing department to establish a new tool production facility technology center. I enjoyed the challenges: We had to start from scratch, even constructing the factory building and training people in assembly. I enjoyed being involved at every step of the process. My next assignment was in the sustaining department of the UK technology center. This was another set of new challenges; I was responsible for design improvements to one of our flagship products. Leading a team of engineers and investigating field failure incidents was truly an eyeopening process. I m proud to have a technical role that contributes to the growth of the drilling business.
