Invitation to Comment: Schlumberger/ChampionX

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) is considering whether it is or may be the case that this transaction, if carried into effect, will result in the creation of a relevant merger situation under the merger provisions of the Enterprise Act 2002 and, if so, whether the creation of that merger may be expected to result in a substantial lessening of competition within any market or markets in the United Kingdom for goods or services.

Invitation to comment: closes 10 December 2024

To assist it with this assessment, the CMA invites comments on the transaction from any interested party.

The CMA is issuing this preliminary 'invitation to comment' to allow interested parties to submit to the CMA any initial views on the impact that the transaction could have on competition in the UK. The CMA has not yet launched its formal investigation into this transaction. This invitation to comment is the first part of the CMA's information-gathering process.

These comments should be provided by the deadline set out above to:
