Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract]
New Accounting Pronouncements	New Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This ASU amends the existing accounting standards for revenue recognition and is based on the principle that revenue should be recognized to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration a company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. Schlumberger is required to adopt this ASU on January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted on January 1, 2017. Schlumberger does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes, which amends existing guidance on income taxes to require the classification of all deferred tax assets and liabilities as non-current on the balance sheet. Schlumberger is required to adopt this ASU no later than January 1, 2017, with early adoption permitted, and the guidance may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. Schlumberger does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases. This ASU requires lessees to recognize a right of use asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases, with the exception of short-term leases. Schlumberger will adopt this ASU on January 1, 2019 and is evaluating the impact that the adoption of this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.
