Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] |
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities | 10. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities SLB’s functional currency is primarily the US dollar. Approximately 70% of SLB’s revenues in 2024 were denominated in US dollars. However, outside the United States, a significant portion of SLB’s expenses is incurred in foreign currencies. Therefore, when the US dollar weakens (strengthens) in relation to the foreign currencies of the countries in which SLB conducts business, the US dollar-reported expenses will increase (decrease). Changes in foreign currency exchange rates expose SLB to risks on future cash flows relating to its fixed rate debt denominated in currencies other than the functional currency. SLB uses cross-currency interest rate swaps to provide a hedge against these risks. These contracts are accounted for as cash flow hedges, with the fair value of the derivative recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and in Accumulated other comprehensive loss. Amounts recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss are reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods that the hedged item is recognized in earnings. Details regarding SLB’s outstanding cross-currency interest rate swaps as of December 31, 2024, were as follows: • During 2019, SLB entered into cross-currency interest rate swaps in order to hedge changes in the fair value of its €0.5 billion 0.25% Notes due 2027 and €0.5 billion 0.50% Notes due 2031 that were issued by a US-dollar functional currency subsidiary. These cross-currency interest rate swaps effectively convert the Euro-denominated notes to US-dollar denominated debt with fixed annual interest rates of 2.51% and 2.76%, respectively. • During 2020, a US-dollar functional currency subsidiary of SLB issued €0.8 billion of Euro-denominated debt. SLB entered into cross-currency interest rate swaps to hedge changes in the fair value of its €0.4 billion of 0.25% Notes due 2027 and €0.4 billion of 0.50% Notes due 2031. These cross-currency interest rate swaps effectively convert the Euro-denominated notes to US-dollar denominated debt with fixed annual interest rates of 1.87% and 2.20%, respectively. • During 2020, a US-dollar functional currency subsidiary of SLB issued €2.0 billion of Euro-denominated debt. SLB entered into cross-currency interest rate swaps to hedge changes in the fair value of its €1.0 billion of 1.375% Guaranteed Notes due 2026 and €1.0 billion of 2.00% Guaranteed Notes due 2032. These cross-currency interest rate swaps effectively convert the Euro-denominated notes to US-dollar denominated debt with fixed annual interest rates of 2.77% and 3.49%, respectively. • During 2020, a Canadian dollar functional currency subsidiary of SLB issued $0.5 billion of US dollar denominated debt. SLB entered into cross-currency interest rate swaps to hedge changes in the fair value of its $0.5 billion 1.40% Senior Notes due 2025. These cross-currency interest rate swaps effectively convert the US dollar notes to Canadian dollar denominated debt with a fixed annual interest rate of 1.73%. A summary of the amounts included in the Consolidated Balance Sheet relating to cross currency interest rate swaps follows:
| (Stated in millions) |
| Dec. 31, 2024 |  |  | Dec. 31, 2023 |
Other current assets | $ | 37 |  |  | $ | - |
Other Assets | $ | 2 |  |  | $ | 36 |
Other Liabilities | $ | 183 |  |  | $ | 67 |
The fair values were determined using a model with inputs that are observable in the market or can be derived or corroborated by observable data. SLB is exposed to risks on future cash flows to the extent that the local currency is not the functional currency and expenses denominated in local currency are not equal to revenues denominated in local currency. SLB uses foreign currency forward contracts to provide a hedge against a portion of these cash flow risks. These contracts are accounted for as cash flow hedges. SLB is also exposed to changes in the fair value of assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency. While SLB uses foreign currency forward contracts to economically hedge this exposure as it relates to certain currencies, these contracts are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes. Instead, the fair value of the derivative is recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and changes in the fair value are recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income, as are changes in the fair value of the hedged item. Transaction losses of $139 million in 2024, $154 million (including $90 million related to the Argentina devaluation; see Note 3 – Charges and credits for further details) in 2023, and $96 million in 2022 were recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income net of related hedging activities. Foreign currency forward contracts were outstanding for the US dollar equivalent of $5.5 billion and $5.4 billion in various foreign currencies as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Other than the previously mentioned cross-currency interest rate swaps, the fair value of the other outstanding derivatives was no t material as of December 31, 2024 and 2023. The effect of derivative instruments designated as hedges and those not designated as hedges on the Consolidated Statement of Income was as follows:

SLB has issued credit default swaps (“CDSs”) to certain financial institutions that have an aggregate notional amount outstanding of approximately $1.15 billion as of December 31, 2024. The CDSs relate to borrowings provided by the financial institutions to SLB’s primary customer in Mexico. The borrowings were used by this customer to pay certain of SLB’s outstanding receivables. Approximately $350 million of the outstanding CDSs reduces on a monthly basis over its remaining 14-month term while the remaining $800 million reduces on a monthly basis over its remaining 18-month term. The fair value of these derivative liabilities was not material at December 31, 2024.
