SLB 计划以 77 亿美元收购 ChampionX，这将加速 SLB 向生产恢复市场的扩张，因为运营商专注于最大限度地减少产量下降。首席执行官 Olivier Le Peuch 在 SLB 4 月 19 日举行的 2024 年第一季度财报电话会议上表示，几年前，SLB 将一般生产和化学品生产的恢复视为增长机会。

“我们首先相信这个市场将受益于进一步的创新、进一步的整合和进一步的颠覆，”他说。 

SLB’s planned $7.7 billion acquisition of ChampionX will speed up SLB’s expansion into the production recovery market as operators focus on minimizing production declines. Several years ago, SLB identified production recovery in general and production chemicals specifically as an opportunity for growth, CEO Olivier Le Peuch said during SLB’s April 19 first-quarter 2024 earnings call.

“We believe first that this market will benefit from further innovation, from further integration, from further disruption,” he said.
