SLB in-line according to Zacks, as per briefing.com.

EDIT: Merrill is touting oil service sector today (Maria). BJS, RON, DO are their favorites.

Teddy, further to your question on SLB estimates, the brief from briefing:

Schlumberger (SLB) 77 9/16: Oilfield services giant reports diluted earnings per share of $0.68, in-line with Zacks consensus and a penny ahead of First Call, and up from year ago $0.51 a share, on revenue gain of 16.7%...

Latest numbers I can find are .69 for Zacks and .67 for IBES and First Call so it seems like a mildly positive non-event. I assume that the number from earnings services is the diluted EPS (.68) rather than the basic EPS (.70).
