SLB beats estimates for third-quarter profit

(Reuters) -SLB beat Wall Street estimates for third-quarter profit on Friday, helped by higher-than-expected demand for its oilfield equipment and services in North America. The company reported an adjusted profit of 69 cents per share for the quarter ended September 30, compared with analysts' estimate of 66 cents, according to data compiled by LSEG.
