Schlumberger Web Site Offers Industry News, Oil and Gas Prices - Bloomberg
New York, March 1 (Bloomberg) -- Schlumberger Ltd., which
sells services to the oil, utility, semiconductor, banking and
other industries, has expanded its Web site to include daily news.
The service, called Realtime, offers daily coverage of the
five industries in which Schlumberger is involved, using stories
from providers such as Reuters Group Plc and Bridge Information
Systems Inc. Realtime can be accessed at www.slb.com.
Realtime also provides oil and gas prices, information on
utility and semiconductor markets, and a count of oil and gas
rigs. The rig count competes with one by Baker Hughes Inc., the
third-largest oil services company, that has been the industry
standard for more than 50 years.
Businesses covered by the news service are oil and gas
exploration and production; smart cards and terminals;
semiconductors; electricity, water and gas utilities; and network
and Internet services.
Schlumberger, the world's second-biggest oil-services
company, on Jan. 31 opened www.IndigoPool.com, where clients can
sell oil and gas properties. The company, based in New York and
Paris, had sales of $8.4 billion last year.
Schlumberger shares rose 1 49/64 to 75 5/8 in early trading.
Reuters and Bridge compete with Bloomberg LP in offering
financial news and information.
