Schlumberger (SLB) is grabbing headlines. The Wall Street Journal reports that the oil driller signed a preliminary deal to study an Iranian oil field. The contract would be one of the most prominent signed since Donald Trump won the presidential election. Trump has vowed to undo a nuclear pact that was signed last year with Tehran.
