Schlumberger Acquires Techsia

Combines Flagship Petrophysics Software with Leading Log Acquisition and Reservoir Modeling to optimize
Reservoir Characterization and Real-Time Well Decisions

PARIS, May 20, 2009—Schlumberger announced today that it has acquired the shares of Techsia SA, a supplier
of petrophysical software based in Montpellier, France. Techsia, well-known in the industry for its flagship
Techlog© product, will become the Schlumberger Petrophysics Software Center of Excellence for the
development of state-of-the-art solutions for the oil and gas exploration and production industry.

“Techlog will form a powerful complement to the industry-leading Petrel* Earth Model through an integrated
approach to log and core petrophysical interpretation. This will be particularly valuable in enabling real-time
workflows for well construction. In addition, once operating in the Ocean* environment, Techlog will feature the
same level of open-platform capability as the rest of our new-generation products.” said Tony Bowman, president
of Schlumberger Information Solutions.

Stephanie Gottlib-Zeh, founder, president and chief executive officer of Techsia added, “We see this move by
Schlumberger as recognition of the high-quality software developed by Techsia. Accessing the Schlumberger
global sales and business development organization will directly allow Techlog© to achieve greater market
penetration and accelerate the realization of integrated workflows from the wellbore to the reservoir to change the
game for reservoir management. I am convinced that the cultural fit between Techsia and Schlumberger will foster
increasing innovation and create further opportunities.”

Techsia, currently employing 53 people, will continue to operate under its own name. Future product development
will benefit from collaboration with a number of Schlumberger research and development centers that offer
knowledge and expertise in geomechanics, well placement, production logging and fluid characterization. In
addition, the introduction of the Techsia Malcom© solution for the chromatographic analysis of fluid samples will
be enhanced by the global reach of Schlumberger.
