20. Discontinued Operations
During the second quarter of 2013, Schlumberger completed the wind down of its operations in Iran and, therefore, has classified the historical results of this business as a discontinued operation.
During the second quarter of 2012, Schlumberger sold its Wilson distribution business to National Oilwell Varco Inc. (“NOV”) for $906 million in cash, resulting in a pretax gain of $137 million ($16 million after-tax). During the third quarter of 2012, Schlumberger completed the sale of its 56% interest in CE Franklin Ltd. to NOV for $122 million in cash, resulting in a pretax gain of $30 million ($12 million after-tax). As Wilson and CE Franklin comprised Schlumberger’s entire Distribution segment, the results of this entire segment have been classified as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statement of Income.
During the second quarter of 2011, Schlumberger completed the divestiture of its Global Connectivity Services business for $385 million in cash. An after-tax gain of $220 million was recognized in connection with this transaction, and is classified in Income (loss) from discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statement of Income. The historical results of this business were not significant to Schlumberger’s consolidated financial statements and, as such, have not been reclassified to discontinued operations.
The following table summarizes the results of these discontinued operations:
