Schlumberger posts higher earnings, sees slowdown


    NEW YORK (Reuters) - Schlumberger Ltd , the world's largest oilfield services company, reported a jump in quarterly profit on Friday, but said the credit market crisis would hurt activity in the United States and some emerging markets.

    Third-quarter net profit rose to $1.53 billion, or $1.25 per share, from $1.35 billion, or $1.09 per share, a year earlier. Revenue grew 22 percent to $7.26 billion.

    Analysts on average had expected a net profit of $1.25 per share on revenue of $7 billion, according to Reuters Estimates.
