The market environment of the oilfield service industry improved significantly in the first three quarters of 2017. North America turned out to be the driving force for the industry. Internationally, markets were stable but still in stagnation. Schoeller-Bleckmann Oilfield Equipment AG (SBO), which is listed in the ATX segment of the Vienna Stock Exchange, benefited from its strong position in North America and posted high increases in sales, bookings and operating result for the first three quarters of 2017. As announced in October, this business success required an expense posting for the shares of minority shareholders of Downhole Technology impacting the financial result figure.
