• SLB Announces Second-Quarter 2025 Results

  SLB (NYSE: SLB) today announced results for the second-quarter 2025. Second-Quarter Results To view the table, please visit https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20250716727689/en/ Oil and Gas Markets Hold Steady Amid Global Uncertainty “SLB reported solid second-quarter results, leveraging our diversified portfolio and broad market exposure to deliver steady revenue and slightly higher adjusted EBITDA and margins sequentially. This demonstrates our resilience amidst softer upstream spending and macroeconomic uncertainty,” said SLB Chief Executive Officer Olivier Le Peuch. “The market is navigating several dynamics — including fully supplied oil markets, OPEC+ supply releases, ongoing trade negotiations and geopolitical conflicts. Despite this, commodity prices have remained range bound. Meanwhile, customers have selectively adjusted activity, prioritizing key projects and planning cautiously, particularly in offshore deepwater markets. In this context, the upstream market has remained relatively resilient, underscoring the enduring strength of our industry,” Le Peuch said. SLB’s Broad Market Exposure Helps to Overcome Regional Headwinds “Our broad exposure across geographies and business lines enabled us to effectively overcome the impact of certain regional activity slowdowns. As a result, we achieved a 2% sequential increase in international revenue, driven by robust growth in some parts of the Middle East, Asia, Europe and North Africa, which more than offset declines in select key markets. Our performance was supported by steady results in digital, with double-digit sequential revenue growth from our platforms, applications and digital operations largely offset by lower sales of exploration data following a strong first quarter. Additionally, we continue to benefit from strategically diversifying the portfolio outside of oil and gas businesses,” Le Peuch said. Customers Increasing Focus on Production and Recovery Efforts “Production Systems revenue climbed 3% sequentially and marked the 17th consecutive quarter of year-on-year growth. The sequential growth was driven by strong sales of artificial lift and midstream production systems. In today’s capital-disciplined environment, customers are focused on maximizing the value of their assets while improving efficiency in the production phase of their operations. SLB’s technology portfolio and domain expertise across reservoir, wellbore and surface systems are aligned with these efforts. As a result, demand for production and recovery solutions has risen, particularly in the U.S. and mature basins. Moving forward, we will increase our exposure to the less cyclical and growing production and recovery space with the recent closing of our acquisition of ChampionX. Our combined portfolio, technology capabilities and digital leadership will position SLB to create value for our customers and stakeholders while delivering best-in-class workflow integration across production chemicals and artificial lift,” Le Peuch said. SLB Sees Industry Demonstrating Resilience “Despite pockets of activity adjustments in key markets, the industry has shown that it can operate through uncertainty without a significant drop in upstream spending. This has been driven by the combination of capital discipline and the need for energy security. Looking ahead, assuming commodity prices stay range bound, we remain constructive for the second half of the year. This is supported by our position in key markets, the depth of our diversified portfolio, and our increased exposure to the growing production and recovery market through the acquisition of ChampionX. We will also continue to manage costs in line with market conditions as we remain focused on delivering peer-leading adjusted EBITDA margins. Overall, I am confident that SLB's differentiated technology and global footprint will continue to deliver positive results for our customers and shareholders,” Le Peuch concluded. Other Events On June 26, 2025, SLB completed its sale of its working interests in the Palliser Block located in Alberta, Canada. On July 16, 2025, SLB completed its acquisition of ChampionX. The combined portfolio, technology capabilities and digital leadership will position SLB to create value for its customers and stakeholders by increasing its exposure to the growing production and recovery market while delivering best-in-class workflow integration across production chemicals and artificial lift. On July 17, 2025, SLB’s Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.285 per share of outstanding common stock, payable on October 9, 2025, to stockholders of record on September 3, 2025. Second-Quarter Revenue by Geographical Area To view the table, please visit https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20250716727689/en/ International Revenue in Latin America of $1.49 billion was essentially flat sequentially. Growth from offshore activity in Brazil coupled with increased land activity in Argentina was offset by reduced sales of production systems in Guyana. Year on year, revenue declined 14%, primarily due to a significant reduction in land drilling activity in Mexico, partially offset by robust unconventional stimulation activity in Argentina. Europe & Africa revenue of $2.37 billion increased 6% sequentially, driven by significant sales of artificial lift in North Africa, subsea production systems in Nigeria, and higher digital revenue and increased sales of production systems in Europe. These increases were partially offset by lower offshore drilling, evaluation and stimulation activity in Namibia due to project conclusions and a pause in exploration activity. Year on year, revenue declined 3% as a result of reduced deepwater activity, partially offset by strong sales of artificial lift in North Africa and increased sales of production systems in Europe. Revenue in the Middle East & Asia of $2.99 billion was essentially flat sequentially as solid drilling performance and higher production system sales in Iraq and the United Arab Emirates, along with increased activity across Asia, were offset by activity decline in Saudi Arabia and Qatar. Year on year, revenue declined 9% due to reduced activity and lower production system sales in Saudi Arabia. Declines were also noted in Asia, Egypt and Qatar, partially offset by significantly higher revenues in the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait and Iraq. North America North America revenue of $1.65 billion decreased 4% sequentially. The decline stemmed from lower Asset Performance Solutions (APS) revenue in the Palliser block that was divested and reduced drilling activity due to the Canadian seasonal spring breakup. Offshore revenue fell as a result of lower exploration data sales. These decreases were partially offset by modest gains in U.S. land revenue, supported by increased sales of production systems, higher digital sales and growth in data center infrastructure solutions. Year on year, revenue was slightly higher, driven by strong growth in data center infrastructure solutions but largely offset by reduced APS revenue in Canada and a sharp decline in U.S. land drilling activity. Second-Quarter Results by Division Digital & Integration To view the table, please visit https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20250716727689/en/ Digital & Integration revenue of $995 million decreased 1% sequentially primarily due to lower APS revenue in Canada. Digital revenue remained steady, with double-digit sequential growth from the combined effects of platforms, applications and digital operations, offset by reduced sales of exploration data following a strong first quarter. Year on year, revenue declined 5%, reflecting lower APS revenue mostly in Canada. While digital sales delivered solid growth internationally, overall digital revenue dipped slightly as higher platform and application sales were outweighed by lower exploration data revenue in North America. Digital & Integration pretax operating margin of 33% expanded 240 basis points (bps) sequentially and 186 bps year over year. This margin improvement was primarily driven by greater digital adoption and cost-efficiency gains. Reservoir Performance To view the table, please visit https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20250716727689/en/ Reservoir Performance revenue of $1.69 billion declined 1% sequentially. This was due to a slowdown in evaluation and stimulation activity across international markets, partially offset by strong intervention activity. Regional growth in stimulation and intervention was notable in Argentina, North Africa, East Asia and Kuwait; however, these gains were outweighed by activity declines in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Namibia and Mexico. Year on year, revenue dropped 7%, primarily due to reduced activity in Saudi Arabia, Namibia and Mexico. These decreases were partially mitigated by robust stimulation activity in Argentina. Reservoir Performance pretax operating margin of 19% increased 203 bps sequentially. This improvement stemmed from higher intervention activity and the absence of startup costs that impacted the first quarter. Year on year, pretax operating margin contracted by 205 bps, driven by lower profitability resulting from decreased evaluation and stimulation activity. Well Construction To view the table, please visit https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20250716727689/en/ Well Construction revenue of $2.96 billion was essentially flat sequentially. Higher revenue in Iraq, the United Arab Emirates, offshore Mexico, North Africa and Nigeria were offset by notable declines in drilling activity in Namibia, North America land markets, Argentina and Saudi Arabia. Year on year, revenue fell 13%, driven by a broad reduction in drilling activity across Mexico, Namibia, Saudi Arabia, North America, Guyana and India. These decreases were partially offset by stronger performance in the United Arab Emirates and North Africa. Well Construction pretax operating margin was 19%, down 119 bps sequentially and 315 bps year on year. Margin compression stemmed from widespread activity reductions across North America and several international markets. Cost efficiency measures partially offset the decline. Production Systems To view the table, please visit https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20250716727689/en/ Production Systems revenue of $3.04 billion increased 3% sequentially. This growth was fueled by higher sales of artificial lift systems, midstream production solutions, valves and completions, as well as higher data center infrastructure solutions in North America. These gains were partially offset by lower sales of surface production systems. Year on year, revenue grew slightly as strong demand for data center infrastructure solutions, artificial lift and completions was largely offset by reduced sales of subsea production systems and valves. Production Systems pretax operating margin remained steady sequentially at 16% and improved 79 bps year on year. This margin expansion was driven by stronger profitability across several business lines — supported by a favorable activity mix, efficient execution and conversion of higher-margin backlog.

• 제주창조경제혁신센터, 중기부 평가 전국 최우수 센터 선정

  [경이신문] 제주창조경제혁신센터(대표이사 이병선)가 중소벤처기업부가 주관한 2024년 창조경제혁신센터 운영 성과 평가에서 전국 17개 센터 중 최고 등급인 '최우수 등급'을 받았다. 이는 제주센터가 그동안 추진해 온 지역의 혁신 창업생태계 조성 노력이 결실을 맺었다는 평가다. 중기부는 매년 전국 창조경제혁신센터를 대상으로 보육기업 성과, 투자 유치 실적, 혁신성, 기관운영의 우수성 등 다양한 지표를 종합적으로 평가한다. 제주센터는 이번 평가에서 대부분 항목에서 최우수 점수를 받아 종합 ‘최우수’ 등급을 받았다. 제주센터는 지난해 지역 투자재원 확보를 위해 제주 최초의 모태펀드 사업인 ‘제주 초기 스타트업 육성 펀드’를 35억원 규모로 결성했으며, 제주센터의 총운영자산(AUM)이 80.1억원으로 증가했다. 또 지난해에만 20억이 넘는 투자금을 집행해 제주의 투자생태계를 넓히는 데 앞장섰다. 제주센터 투자기업을 팁스(TIPS) 프로그램에 적극적으로 추천해 지난해까지 10개사를 추천했으며, 2년 연속 선정률 100%를 달성했다. 이를 통해 스타트업 지원을 위한 팁스 R&D 지원금 78억원을 확보했다. 제주센터는 지난해 로컬분야 연계사업을 수행해 주관/협력사업을 추진하면서 국비 135억원을 확보하고 2년 연속전국 최우수 로컬크리에이터를 배출해 기업가형 로컬크리에이터의 성장 가능성을 입증했다. 2023년에는 귤메달(제주산 시트러스 연구/개발 및 라이프스타일 브랜드), 2024년에는 와이제이컴퍼니(제주 농수산물을 활용한 프리미엄 제주 어묵 생산)가 최우수 로컬크리에이터로 선정됐다. 제주센터는 지역에 맞는 오픈이노베이션 협업환경을 조성해 다양한 유형의 스타트업 발굴-매칭-투자 연결했다. 대/중견기업의 수요과제에 적합한 스타트업 8개사를 선정해 제주형 오픈이노베이션 전략 통해 맞춤형 헙업기반을 마련했다. 특히 이브자리와 섬유 재생 스타트업 제클린이 추진한 ‘헌 이불 순환경제 프로젝트’는 제주도, 한국환경공단, 제주시새활용센터 등이 참여해 침구류 자원순환의 새로운 모델을 제시했다는 평가다. 제주센터는 전담 대기업인 카카오와 연계한 오픈이노베이션 프로그램을 통해 전국 11개 창조경제혁신센터의 협력을 이끌었다. 전국 2,467개 소상공인 팀의 디지털 판로를 지원하고 카카오 톡스토어 기획전을 지원해 24억원의 매출을 올렸다. 제주와 해외를 잇는 글로벌 창업생태계 조성을 위해 일본, 홍콩, 인도네시아 파트너를 직접 찾아나서며 KOTRA, 오키나와 IT이노베이션센터, IMM 인베스트먼트, 한국벤처투자, 센츄리, 랜치마켓 등과 업무협약을 체결했다. 이후 현지 플랫폼 입점과 엑스포 참가, 투자자 밋업데이 등을 지원하며 글로벌 네트워크를 확장했다. 또한, 수도권과의 지리적 한계에도 불구하고 JOIN 2024, J-CONNECT DAY 등 다양한 네트워킹 행사를 추진하고 투자 유치 프로그램을 적극적으로 운영하며 스타트업 생태계 확장에 기여한 점도 최우수 센터 선정의 주요 요인으로 분석된다. 이번 평가 결과에 따라 제주센터는 중기부를 통해 기관운영을 위한 추가 지원 등 인센티브를 받는다. 제주센터 이병선 대표는 "지역 규모와 인프라 면에서 상대적으로 열세인 제주센터가 최우수 등급을 받은 것은 혁신적 도전이 의미 있는 성과로 나타났기 때문“이라며, "앞으로도 제주만의 강점을 살린 차별화된 지원을 통해 글로벌 경쟁력을 갖춘 스타트업을 많이 배출할 수 있도록 최선을 다하겠다"고 밝혔다.

• APEC 제주회의 개막, 14일 간 릴레이 국제회의

  [경이신문] 2025 아시아태평양경제협력체(APEC) 제주회의가 3일 개막해 14일간의 일정을 시작했다. 이번 제2차 고위관리회의(SOM)에는 3,200명 이상이 참석할 것으로 예상되며, 특히 고용노동․교육․통상 등 3개 분야 장관회의가 함께 개최돼 각국 장관급 인사 60여 명이 제주를 찾는다. 경제협력개발기구(OECD) 사무총장과 APEC 사무국장 등 국제기구 주요 인사들도 다수 방문할 예정이다. 제2차 고위관리회의는 APEC 정상회의와 각료회의의 주요 의제에 관한 실질적 협의와 결정을 이끄는 핵심 협의체다. SOM은 산하 4대 위원회(무역투자위원회, 경제기술협력 운영위원회, 경제위원회, 예산운영위원회)와 소위원회 논의사항을 검토해 정상 및 각료회의에 보고하고 결정사항을 이행·감독하는 역할을 한다. 제주도는 이번 APEC 회의에서 지역경제 파급효과에 중점을 두고 있다. 기존 국제회의가 컨벤션 시설 내에서만 진행돼 도민이 유치효과를 체감하기 어려웠던 점을 개선하고자, 국제컨벤션센터(ICC)와 서귀포 원도심을 잇는 셔틀버스를 하루 3회 운영한다. 이를 통해 국제회의 참가자들이 지역 상권을 방문하도록 유도하고 소비를 촉진할 계획이다. 또한 도내 주요 공·사설 관광지를 19개 코스로 순회하는 문화관광투어를 제공하고, 글로벌 워케이션 홍보를 위한 팸투어 및 기자간담회 등 제주마케팅도 추진한다. 김미영 제주도 경제활력국장은 “APEC 개최를 통해 지역경제에 활력을 불어넣고자 한다”며 “원도심 투어버스를 통한 소비촉진과 문화관광투어로 제주의 매력과 가치를 알리고 재방문을 유도할 계획”이라고 말했다. 제주도는 APEC 제주회의의 성공적 개최를 위해 지난 1월부터 별도 전담팀(TF)을 구성했으며, 3월부터는 행정부지사를 단장으로 제주지원단을 발족해 도내 기관 및 관계부서 간 협력체계를 구축했다. APEC 준비기획단 및 장관회의 관계부처와 지속적으로 협력하며 숙박, 수송, 문화프로그램 등을 준비했다. 제주도는 2005년 APEC 정상회의 유치를 위해 부산과 경쟁했으나 아쉽게 선정되지 못했다. 오영훈 제주도지사는 2023년 1월 싱가포르 APEC 사무국을 방문해 2025년 APEC 정상회의 유치 의지를 표명했다. 정부는 2025년 APEC 정상회의 개최지로 경주를 최종 선정했으나, 제주의 유치 노력과 역량을 높이 평가해 인천, 부산 등과 함께 분산 개최하기로 결정했다. 이에 따라 제주는 5월 제2차 고위관리회의와 3개 분야 장관회의를 개최하고, 오는 9월에는 중소기업 장관회의도 열 예정이다.

  [경이신문] 제주특별자치도는 2월 1일 입도한 외국인 관광객 1명이 홍역 의심증상이 있어 검사결과 2월 6일 저녁 양성 판정을 받아 역학조사를 진행하고 있다고 밝혔다. 확진자는 베트남에서 한 달 보름가량 체류하다 1월 22일 입국했으며, 제주 입도 전까지는 서울에 머물렀다. 발열 등 증상은 3일부터 나타난 것으로 확인됐다. 현재 환자의 동선과 접촉자 등에 관한 역학조사가 진행 중이다. 홍역은 제2급감염병으로 기침이나 재채기를 통해 공기로 전파되는 전염성이 강한 호흡기 감염병이다. 발열, 발진, 구강 내 회백색 반점(Koplik’s spot) 등이 주요 증상이며, 면역이 불충분한 경우 접촉 시 90% 이상 감염될 수 있다(붙임1 참고). 하지만, 백신접종으로 충분히 예방이 가능*한 만큼, 생후 12~15개월 및 4~6세 총 2회에 걸쳐 반드시 홍역 백신(MMR)을 접종해야 한다. 제주지역에서 홍역환자가 발생한 것은 2019년 이후 5년 만이며, 베트남에 여행을 다녀온 도민이었다. 2024년 전국적으로 49명의 홍역 환자가 발생했으며, 모두 해외여행을 다녀오거나, 환자와 접촉해 감염된 사례였다. 홍역은 전 세계적으로 유행하고 있어 해외여행 시 각별한 주의가 필요하다. 올해 국내에서 발생한 해외 유입(관련) 홍역 환자의 경우, 백신 접종을 하지 않았거나 접종력을 모르는 경우가 대부분인 것으로 파악됐다. 홍역 예방을 위해 백신 2회 접종을 완료하는 것이 가장 중요하며, 의심 증상이 있을 경우 24시간 동안 집에서 휴식하고 등원·등교·출근을 자제할 것을 권고한다. 조상범 제주도 안전건강실장은 “예방접종 미접종자와 1세 미만 영유아 등은 홍역 유행 국가 방문을 자제하고, 불가피한 경우 영유아(6개월 이상 12개월 미만)는 홍역 가속 백신 접종을 받을 것을 권고한다”면서, “의료기관은 발열, 발진 증상 환자가 홍역 유행 국가 여행력이 있는 경우 홍역을 의심하고 검사와 관할 보건소 신고 등을 철저히 해달라”고 당부했다.
