Outbreak Response
Safety is a core priority for Schlumberger. We embrace a safety mindset and build it into how we work. That is why we were able to take a proactive approach to COVID-19 outbreak response, quickly implementing a comprehensive outbreak management plan and adapting our work practices.
Our impact does not stop at the site or the office door—we also have initiatives that are contributing to the safety of the people in the communities where we live and work.

COVID-19 Management Standard
We adopted a new Management Standard which guides our work practices and helps us continue to operate safely around the world. We have made these documents available here, along with supporting resources, to help promote the sharing of safety best practices as they evolve and we all learn more about COVID-19.

Supporting our communities during COVID-19
Our global stewardship ethos means that we have a long tradition of participating in the communities where we live and work. The COVID-19 pandemic has presented plenty of opportunity for our employees to demonstrate that commitment. Across the globe, our teams are putting their skills and expertise to work in an effort to support front-line responders, healthcare professionals, and the wider community in which we raise our families.
