Therefore, different relationships between oligopoly companies will lead to different responses in their decisions on R&D investment. A correlation deduced from different responses of oligopoly companies in R&D investment with the complete information tactic game theory is presented, and the R&D investment of oilfield service companies was analyzed with this correlation. The correlations of Schlumberger's R&D investment, Halliburton's R&D investment and Baker Hughes' R&D investment were established and analyzed. Meanwhile, two regression models were presented. One was composed of Schlumberger's R&D investment in the previous year and Halliburton's R&D investment. The other was composed of Schlumberger's R&D investment and Baker Hughes' R&D investment in the same year. The accuracy of these two models was proved to be good.展开更多
