On December 31, 2020, Schlumberger contributed its onshore hydraulic fracturing business in the United States and Canada, including its pressure pumping, pumpdown perforating and Permian frac sand business to Liberty Energy Inc. (“Liberty”) in exchange for an equity interest in Liberty. During the first quarter of 2022, Schlumberger sold 7.2 million of its shares of Liberty and received proceeds of $84 million.  During the second quarter of 2022, Schlumberger sold an additional 26.5 million of its shares in Liberty and received proceeds of $429 million.  As a result of these transactions Schlumberger recognized a gain of $26 million during the first quarter of 2022 and a gain of $216 million during the second quarter of 2022. As of September 30, 2022, Schlumberger had a 12% equity interest in Liberty.

 

During the second quarter of 2022, Schlumberger sold certain real estate and received proceeds of $120 million.  As a result of this transaction, Schlumberger recognized a gain of $43 million.

2021

During the third quarter of 2021, a start-up company that Schlumberger previously invested in was acquired.  As a result of this transaction, Schlumberger’s ownership interest was converted into shares of a publicly traded company.  Schlumberger recognized an unrealized pretax gain of $47 million ($36 million after-tax) to increase the carrying value of this investment to its estimated fair value of approximately $55 million.  This unrealized gain is reflected in Interest & other income in the Consolidated Statement of Income.
