ITEM 1. Security and Issuer

This statement relates to common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Hanover Compressor Company (the “Hanover Stock”) and is being filed pursuant to Rule 13d-1 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The principal executive offices of the Issuer are located at 12001 North Houston Rosslyn, Houston, Texas 77806.

ITEM 2. Identity and Background

The name of the reporting persons filing this statement are Schlumberger Limited, a company incorporated in the Netherlands Antilles (“SLB”), Schlumberger Technology Corporation, a company incorporated in Texas (“STC”), Schlumberger Surenco S.A., a company incorporated in Panama (“Surenco”), and Schlumberger Oilfield Holdings Ltd., a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands (“SOHL,” and together with SLB, STC and Surenco, the “Schlumberger Companies”). SLB owns, directly or indirectly, all of the equity interests of each of STC, Surenco and SOHL and thus may be deemed to beneficially own all of the Hanover Stock owned by the other Schlumberger Companies.

This statement amends the Amendment No.1 to Schedule 13D filed by the Schlumberger Companies on October 3, 2001 (Amendment No.1) solely to reflect internal restructuring among direct and indirect 100% wholly owned subsidiaries of Schlumberger Limited on December 31, 2001. There has been no change in the total beneficial ownership of Hanover Stock by the Schlumberger Companies, only in the identity of the subsidiaries that hold the Hanover Stock. Camco International, Inc., a company incorporated in Delaware and a 100% owned indirect subsidiary of SLB (“CII”) and Operational Services, Inc., a company incorporated in Texas and a 100% owned indirect subsidiary of SLB (“OSI”), were merged into STC on December 31, 2001 and ceased to exist on that date. Thus, the 6,762,479 shares of Hanover Stock then owned by CII and the 97,261 shares of Hanover Stock then owned by OSI are now owned by STC as reflected in this Amendment No. 2.

The directors and executive officers of each of SLB, STC, Surenco and SOHL are set forth on Schedule I hereto.

The addresses for the principal executive offices of the Schlumberger Companies are as follows:

153 East 53rd Street, 57th Floor

New York, New York 10022

42 rue Saint-Dominique

Paris, France 75007

Parkstraat 83

The Hague, The Netherlands 2514 JG

Schlumberger is the leading oilfield services company supplying technology, project management and information solutions that optimize performance for customers working in the international oil and gas industry. The company employs more than 50,000 people of over 140 nationalities working in 100 countries, and comprises two primary business segments.

6

Schlumberger Oilfield Services supplies a wide range of products and services that support core industry operational processes. WesternGeco, jointly owned with Baker Hughes, is the world’s largest seismic company and provides advanced acquisition and data processing surveys. In 2003, Schlumberger operating revenue was $11.5 billion.

During the past five years, none of SLB, STC, Surenco, SOHL or, to the best of their knowledge, any of the persons listed on Schedule I hereto, (i) has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors), or (ii) has been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction that resulted in a judgment decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating any activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation of such laws except as previously described in Amendment No. 1, which description is incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 4. Purpose of Transaction

This Amendment No. 2 only reports an internal restructuring. This Item is N/A to that transaction. The information in Amendment No.1 is incorporated herein by reference with respect to the original transaction by which the Schlumberger Companies acquired the Hanover Stock in August 2001.

ITEM 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

(A) On August 31, 2001, the Schlumberger Companies and two other 100% owned indirect subsidiaries of SLB (CII and OSI) acquired an aggregate of 8,707,693 shares of Hanover Stock in connection with a sale of a division of the Schlumberger Companies. On December 31, 2001 CII and OSI were merged into STC and STC became the owner of the Hanover Stock previously owned by those entities. The holdings of the individual Schlumberger Companies as of the date of this filing are as follows:

COMPANY SHARES PERCENTAGE
STC 6,911,231 8.4 %
Surenco 1,430,304 1.7 %
SOHL 366,158 0.4 %
Total 8,707,693 10.6 %

7

SLB, as the direct or indirect owner of all of the other Schlumberger Companies, may be deemed to beneficially own all 8,707,693 shares of Hanover Stock owned by the Schlumberger Companies.

(B) Each of the Schlumberger Companies (other than SLB) has sole voting and dispositive power with respect to the number of shares of Hanover Stock set forth opposite its name in the table above.

(C) None of the Schlumberger Companies nor, to the best of their knowledge, any other person referred to in Schedule I attached hereto, beneficially owns or has acquired or disposed of any Hanover Stock during the past 60 days.
