Formation of OneSubsea Joint Venture

On June 30, 2013, Schlumberger and Cameron completed the formation of OneSubsea, a joint venture to manufacture and develop products, systems and services for the subsea oil and gas market. Schlumberger and Cameron each contributed all of their respective subsea businesses to the joint venture and Schlumberger made a $600 million cash payment to Cameron. Schlumberger owns 40% of OneSubsea and accounts for this investment under the equity method. Schlumberger recognized a pretax and after-tax gain of $1.028 billion, which is classified as Gain on formation of OneSubsea in the Consolidated Statement of Income, as a result of the deconsolidation of its subsea business. This gain is equal to the difference between the fair value of the Schlumberger subsea business, which was determined based on the present value of its estimated future cash flows, and its carrying value at the time of closing.
