WCRC Researched Brand · World's Most Powerful Brands 2026 · Second Global Mega Edition

SLB

SLB, formerly Schlumberger, is the world's largest oilfield-services company, the brand of SLB N.V. It is incorporated in Curaçao, with principal offices in Houston, Paris and The Hague. It adopted the SLB name in a 2022 rebrand. WCRC's research found the brand strongest in financial health, with a strong balance sheet and ratings in the A range, and in industry standing as the global leader in its field. It has mature ESG disclosure. As a business-to-business company it has no consumer research behind it and only a corporate digital presence. A 2015 guilty plea in the US over sanctions violations remains a legacy item, and trade coverage is steady rather than prominent.
