Schlumberger Business Consulting (SBC) is the global management consultancy arm of Schlumberger, specializing in the oil and gas exploration and production (E&P) industry. With 200 consultants operating from 15 offices around the world, SBC's capabilities range from strategy and organization to operational efficiency. SBC headquarters are located in Paris, France.

Overview
SBC appeared relatively recently on the management consulting scene as it was established in 2004. The underlying idea was to combine Schlumberger's technical expertise and knoweldge of the oil & gas with pure management consulting skills. The target was to create a management consultancy strongly focused on E&P, which would compete against the more generalist traditional management consultancies. Over 9 years it witnessed a rapid growth, and Schlumberger Business Consulting is now one of the largest energy sector management consulting firms. SBC is managed as an independent entity from Schlumberger, and maintains separate P&L responsibility within it.

Competitors
SBC's top competitors in the E&P management consulting market are McKinsey & Company, The Boston Consulting Group, Booz & Company and Bain & Company

Clients
SBC clients encompass International Oil Companies (IOCs), National Oil Companies (NOCs) and Independents.

Organization
The SBC organization is centered on five core capabilities: strategy, organization & talent management, operations improvement, technology management, and M&A and post-merger integration. Geographies are structured as Areas (North & South America, Europe, Middle East and Africa, and Asia), each managed by a Director. Teams are not structured by country: consultants are asked to serve clients on a global basis, to pursue opportunities within the area but also lend assistance to teams in other areas.
