Schlumberger Ltd will not pursue a US$1.7 billion agreement to buy a minority stake in Russia's largest driller Eurasia Drilling Co beyond Sept 30 after a lack of regulatory approvals stalled the deal.

The world's largest oilfield services provider will instead focus on other merger and acquisition opportunities, it said in a statement last Thursday.
