In April 2026, Schlumberger (SLB), an international energy and technology firm, announced its purchase of S&P Global’s geoscience and petroleum engineering software portfolio. SLB retained Nicholas Hill and Bates White to assist with the acquisition. The team supported the parties’ voluntary access letter requests and other advocacy before the Department of Justice. The acquisition closed in July 2026 without a Second Request.
Dr. Hill was assisted by Kathleen Nelis.
