    SCHLUMBERGER Ltd's takeover of Cameron International Corp could inspire more dealmaking.

    The world's biggest oilfield contractor agreed on Wednesday to buy pump-and-valve maker Cameron for about US$66.36 a share in cash and stock. It's the second-largest oil and gas services deal on record after No 2 Halliburton Co agreed to buy No 3 Baker Hughes Inc for more than US$35 billion in November.
