全球最大的油田服务公司SLB首席执行官奥利维尔·勒佩赫(Olivier Le Peuch)  在周一发表的采访中告诉英国《金融时报》 ，该公司并不打算放弃在俄罗斯的业务。

2022 年 2 月乌克兰入侵后，公司（尤其是石油和天然气行业的公司）面临越来越大的压力，要求他们从俄罗斯撤军。

许多能源巨头和油田服务公司——包括埃克森美孚、壳牌、英国石油公司、贝克休斯和哈里伯顿——要么宣布计划退出俄罗斯，要么计划在适用的俄罗斯法律允许的情况下尽快这样做。但 SLB 却不然，它去年 被乌克兰国家预防腐败局 (NACP)列入 国际战争赞助商名单。

“当我们决定后，如果需要的话我们会公开。”但现在尚未做出决定，”SLB 的 Le Peuch 告诉英国《金融时报》。

“那边的团队正在自主运作，我认为在某种程度上是在幕后。这位高管补充道，我们正在保护我们的资产，这是我们的首要任务。

SLB去年夏天表示，将 停止 从全球所有SLB设施向俄罗斯运送所有产品和技术，以应对国际制裁的持续扩大——在其他主要西方油田服务提供商和石油和天然气生产商放弃制裁一年多后他们的俄罗斯业务。

贝克休斯和哈里伯顿于 2022 年出售了其俄罗斯业务，而大型石油公司则结束了在俄罗斯的新投资，并表示，一旦适用法规允许，他们将寻求退出俄罗斯市场。

然而，SLB 只是“采取了自愿措施来限制其在俄罗斯的活动，并宣布不会在俄罗斯进行新的投资，也不会在其服务业务中部署新技术。”

相比之下，贝克休斯于 2022 年 8 月签署了 一项协议，将 其在俄罗斯的油田服务业务出售给当地管理团队。

一个月后，哈里伯顿 宣布 已完成将其俄罗斯业务出售给由前哈里伯顿员工组成的俄罗斯管理团队。因此，哈里伯顿不再在俄罗斯开展业务。贝克休斯和哈里伯顿在俄罗斯的新业务独立于其前母公司运营。

SLB, the biggest oilfield services firm in the world, is not planning to abandon its business in Russia, chief executive Olivier Le Peuch told the Financial Times in an interview published on Monday.

Pressure has mounted on companies, especially in the oil and gas industry, to withdraw from Russia after the invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

Many energy majors and oilfield services companies – including Exxon, Shell, BP, Baker Hughes, and Halliburton – have either announced plans to quit Russia or plans to do so as soon as applicable Russian laws allow. But not SLB, which last year was included on the list of international war sponsors by Ukraine’s National Agency on Corruption Prevention (NACP).

“When we decide, we will make it public if we need to. But now, there is no decision yet,” SLB’s Le Peuch told FT.

“The team over there is operating autonomously and I think is behind the curtain to some extent. We are protecting our assets, that’s our priority,” the executive added.

SLB said last summer that it was halting all shipments of products and technology into Russia from all SLB facilities worldwide, in response to the continued expansion of international sanctions—more than a year after other major Western oilfield services providers and oil and gas producers abandoned their Russian operations.

Baker Hughes and Halliburton, sold their Russian businesses in 2022, while Big Oil ended new investments in Russia and said they would be looking to exit the Russian market as soon as applicable regulations allow.

SLB, however, only “voluntary measures to curtail its Russian activity and announced that it would make no new investments in Russia and would not deploy new technology used in its services business.”

To compare, Baker Hughes signed in August 2022 an agreement to sell its Oilfield Services business in Russia to its local management team.

A month later, Halliburton announced it completed the sale of its Russia operations to a Russia-based management team made up of former Halliburton employees. As a result, Halliburton no longer conducts operations in Russia. The new Baker Hughes and Halliburton businesses in Russia operate independently of their former parent companies.
