As the year progressed, however, oil prices recovered gradually from levels under $40 per barrel in January to over $70 per barrel in December. Within this market, Schlumberger Oilfield Services revenue in 2009 also declined 16% compared to 2008, falling to $20.52 billion. Lower natural gas prices and unfavorable market fundamentals led to a 37% decline in North America revenue, primarily in the US Land and Canada GeoMarket* regions. Europe/CIS/Africa Area revenue fell 13% mainly owing to the weakening of local currencies against the US dollar and reduced activity in the Russia, North Sea, West & South Africa, and Caspian GeoMarkets, as well as at Framo Engineering. Middle East & Asia Area revenue dropped 9% primarily as a result of decreases in the East Asia, East Mediterranean, Arabian and Australia/Papua New Guinea GeoMarkets. Latin America Area revenue, however, was only marginally lower than in 2008 as the impact of weaker local currencies against the US dollar and much lower activity in the Venezuela/Trinidad & Tobago and Peru/Colombia/ Ecuador GeoMarkets was partly offset by stronger activity in the Mexico/Central America and Brazil GeoMarkets. WesternGeco revenue in 2009, at $2.12 billion, was 25% lower than 2008. Revenue fell across all product lines, with the largest declines seen in Marine and Multiclient. Marine revenue fell on lower activity and reduced pricing as a result of weaker market conditions while Multiclient revenue decreased as customers reduced discretionary spending—primarily in North America. Land revenue fell on lower crew utilization and Data Processing revenue decreased reflecting lower activity primarily in Europe and Africa and in North America. While customers spent less on new technology in 2009 versus
