Schlumberger Limited (NYSE:SLB) announced today that it has closed its
merger with Cameron International Corporation. As previously announced,
each Cameron stockholder is entitled to receive 0.716 shares of
Schlumberger common stock and $14.44 in cash, in exchange for each
Cameron share. Schlumberger has issued approximately 138 million shares
pursuant to the merger. As a result, former Cameron stockholders own
approximately 10% of Schlumberger’s outstanding shares of common stock.
The transaction combines two complementary technology portfolios into a
pore-to-pipeline products and services offering to the global oil and
gas industry. The merger will create technology-driven growth by
integrating Schlumberger reservoir and well technology with Cameron
wellhead and surface equipment, flow control and processing technology.
This will result in the industry’s first complete drilling and
production systems, which are enabled by Schlumberger expertise in
instrumentation, data processing, control software, and system
integration.
Paal Kibsgaard, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Schlumberger,
remarked, “I am very pleased to welcome Cameron employees, customers and
shareholders to Schlumberger. As a combined company, we will drive total
system performance through a much closer integration between the surface
and subsurface components of both drilling and production systems. We
are ready to begin the process of realizing the synergies made possible
by this merger and our focus in the near term is on the execution of our
integration plans, while continuing to deliver safety and quality in our
field operations.”
Scott Rowe, former Chief Executive Officer of Cameron, who has assumed
the role of Schlumberger Cameron Group President, commented, “This is an
exciting time for all Cameron employees as we integrate our portfolio
with Schlumberger technologies to deliver improved operational
performance, higher levels of cost efficiency, and close commercial
alignment through new risk-based business models, while continuing to
focus on the needs of our customers.”
