Hey everyone, seeing a lot of chatter but nothing concrete. Just wondering what the general feeling is across different parts of Schlumberger. My area has definitely seen a slowdown in activity and a lot of 'belt-tightening' talk. Budgets are reportedly frozen for non-essential projects and travel is being scrutinized heavily. Anyone in Ops, Engineering, or Support seeing similar trends? Is it across the board or specific to certain regions/business lines? Trying to get a sense of the broader picture before jumping to conclusions. Is it just a seasonal lull or something more systemic? Curious to hear what others are experiencing and if anyone has heard any whispers from management about future plans. Trying to stay informed without succumbing to the rumor mill. Appreciate any insights.

In my district, things are definitely feeling the pinch. We're seeing a significant reduction in new project scopes and a lot of emphasis on maximizing existing resources. Travel has become a real challenge to justify, and there's a constant push to optimize workflows. It feels like a period of consolidation rather than expansion, and everyone is aware of the need to be highly efficient with every dollar spent. Seems like a common theme across many departments from what I hear in informal chats.
