| Limited | Schlumberger (SLB) offers only limited insight into its climate-related lobbying. It does identify a small number of engagements, noting that it provides "technical and educational support to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency" on methane-emissions regulation and that it contributed expertise to the National Petroleum Council study on carbon capture and storage requested by the U.S. Secretary of Energy, thereby revealing two concrete mechanisms—technical assistance and participation in an advisory study—along with clear government targets. Beyond these examples, the company simply refers to working with "think tanks and non-governmental organizations" and attending events such as COP, without detailing how those interactions are used to influence policy. The policies themselves are described only at a high level: methane-emissions standards and broader CCUS policy, with no specific bills, rulemakings, or jurisdictions named. The desired outcomes are likewise sparse; the company states that it wants "innovative methane detection technologies" to be "recognized and rewarded," implying changes to performance standards, but it does not set out additional concrete policy objectives. As a result, while SLB discloses some targeted engagements, the overall picture of which climate policies it lobbies for and the full range of outcomes it seeks remains incomplete. | 1 |
