Hey everyone. Been with SLB for a few years now, mostly field operations in the US. Lately, it feels like things have really slowed down. We're not getting the same number of calls for new projects, and some of the existing ones are being stretched out. My manager's been pretty tight-lipped, just saying 'we're being cautious.' Anyone else in the field seeing this? Feels a bit uneasy, especially with all the noise about the broader energy market. Used to be, if a rig was down, another was up almost immediately. Now it's like there's a pause button being held down. Wondering if this is a regional thing or if it's company-wide. Haven't heard any direct layoff talk, but this creeping slowdown is definitely getting people talking in the break rooms. Just trying to gauge the temperature out there.

Yeah, I'm seeing it too, though maybe not quite as pronounced. Been in completions for a bit, and while we're not exactly starving for work, the pace definitely feels more measured than it was even six months ago. It’s like the boom times have definitely cooled off, and everyone's just trying to navigate it without making any big missteps. The uncertainty is the worst part, makes planning anything feel like a shot in the dark. Hopefully, it's just a temporary lull and not the start of a longer downturn.
