Notes
The company is focused on oil and natural gas technology such as detection software and drilling technology. Times have been better for Schlumberger and the company reported poor revenue and earnings for their last quarter compared to a year ago.

If demand increases and the natural gas industry expands investment and exploration Schlumberger should experience growth.Baker Hughes Inc. Ticker (BHI)

Risk
The performance of these three investments closely relate to the entire energy sector and fuel prices, SLB has the most diversified product offering and has the least risk, BHI’s risk level is probably medium and NGS has the most risk with the least amount of product offerings and diversification but they also have the most potential for expansion.Comparison of SLB, BHI and NGS
SLB has had a more aggressive position on mergers, acquisitions and technology investment where BHI has had a conservative approach to limit risk. In result through the economic downturn BHI was better positioned to sustain low demand. Looking ahead SLB is nearly 7 times larger than BHI which means BHI should have more opportunities for growth. The riskiest investment out of the three is NGS; they are the smallest and have a smaller portfolio of products. They also have good potential for growth and expansion.
BHI has the most underpriced stock price according to valuation ratios NGS is second and SLB is third.
