Management believes that the probability of a material loss with respect to any currently pending legal proceeding is remote.&nbsp;&nbsp;However, litigation is inherently uncertain and it is not possible to predict the ultimate disposition of any of these proceedings.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> <p style="margin-bottom:0pt;margin-top:0pt;text-indent:0%;font-size:9pt;">&nbsp;</p></div>

On an ongoing basis, Schlumberger evaluates its estimates, including those related to collectibility of accounts receivable; revenue recognized under the percentage-of-completion method; recoverability of fixed assets, goodwill, intangible assets, Schlumberger Production Management investments and investments in affiliates; income taxes; multiclient seismic data; contingencies and actuarial assumptions for employee benefit plans. Schlumberger bases its estimates on historical experience and other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. </p></div>

Schlumberger places its cash, short-term investments and fixed income investments held to maturity with financial institutions and corporations and limits the amount of credit exposure with any one of them. Schlumberger regularly evaluates the creditworthiness of the issuers in which it invests. By using derivative financial instruments to hedge certain exposures, Schlumberger exposes itself to some credit risk. Schlumberger minimizes this credit risk by entering into transactions with high-quality counterparties, limiting the exposure to each counterparty and monitoring the financial condition of its counterparties. </p> <p style="text-align:justify;margin-bottom:0pt;margin-top:12pt;text-indent:0%;font-size:10pt;font-family:Times New Roman;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-transform:none;font-variant: normal;">Schlumberger operates in more than 85 countries and as such, its accounts receivable are spread over many countries and customers.&nbsp;&nbsp;The United States, Venezuela and Ecuador each represented approximately 11%, 12% and 12% of Schlumberger&#8217;s accounts receivable balance at December 31, 2016.&nbsp;&nbsp;No other country accounted for greater than 10% of Schlumberger&#8217;s accounts receivable balance.&nbsp;&nbsp;Schlumberger has continued to experience delays in payment from its national oil company customer in Venezuela.&nbsp;&nbsp;Schlumberger maintains an allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable based on expected collectibility and performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers&#8217; financial condition.&nbsp;&nbsp;If the financial condition of its customers were to deteriorate resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, adjustments to the allowance may be required.</p></div>
