據世界石油1月21日消息稱，斯倫貝謝正準備在全球范圍內實現增長，因為這家全球最大的油田承包商預計，經濟復蘇將推動未來幾年原油需求的擴張。

該公司總部位于休斯敦和巴黎，將投資增加18%至20億美元，服務于北美石油勘探公司，這些公司今年上半年將主導勘探活動，下半年將實現國際業務增長。

該公司首席執行官Olivier Le Peuch周五在一份聲明中表示:“預計年底前石油需求將超過疫情前的水平，并在2023年進一步走強。全球需求主導的資本支出復蘇，將導致一個特殊的多年增長周期?！?/p>

斯倫貝謝因其無與倫比的全球足跡和廣泛的國際訂單而成為行業領頭羊。隨著原油需求從歷史性的全球衰退中反彈，石油行業的盈利能力正在回升。Evercore ISI表示，經過多年的成本削減，頁巖勘探公司及其海外競爭對手預計今年都將增加支出。

Schlumberger places $2 billion bet on strong oilfield service demand growth

Schlumberger is gearing up for growth around the world as the No. 1 oilfield contractor expects recovering economies to ignite several years of crude-demand expansion.

The company, based in Houston and Paris, will boost spending as much as 18% to $2 billion, serving North American oil explorers who should dominate activity in the first half of the year, followed by international growth in the final six months.

“Oil demand is expected to exceed pre-pandemic levels before the end of the year and to further strengthen in 2023,” Chief Executive Officer Olivier Le Peuch said in a statement Friday. “Resurgent global demand-led capital spending will result in an exceptional multiyear growth cycle.”

Schlumberger is an industry bellwether because of its unmatched global footprint and extensive international order book. The hired hands of the oil patch are seeing a resurgence in profitability as crude demand rebounds from an historic global collapse. After years of cost cuts, shale explorers and their overseas rivals are all expected to boost spending this year, according to Evercore ISI.
