SLB ( NYSE: SLB ) said Friday it is halting all shipments of products and technology into Russia "in response to the continued expansion of international sanctions."
The world's largest oilfield equipment provider - formerly Schlumberger - said the Russia ban now applies to all its worldwide operations, not just those in the U.K., U.S., the European Union and Canada.
SLB ( SLB ) recently had 9,600 employees working for top Russian oil and gas companies such as Gazprom and Rosneft; the work contributed 5% of the company's annual revenue of ~$28B.
The company has been criticized for continuing to work in Russia's oil sector since the invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
