Geographic Regions North America North America revenue was $9.6 billion in 2024, an 8% decrease compared to 2023, resulting from lower pressure pumping services in U.S. land, reduced wireline activity, and decreased fluid services in the region. These declines were partially offset by higher drilling activity in the region and improved artificial lift activity in U.S. land.
Partially offsetting these decreases were improved fluids services and higher project management activity in Latin America, and increased drilling activity in Europe/Africa. Geographic Regions North America North America revenue in 2025 was $9.1 billion , a 6% decrease compared to 2024 , largely driven by lower activity across multiple product service lines in U.S.
We believe this level of spend will allow us to invest in our key strategic technologies and businesses, including the construction and deployment of our Zeus electric fracturing systems in North America and the international growth of our artificial lift, well intervention, unconventionals, and drilling technologies.
Despite this reduction from 2025, we believe this level of spending will enable continued investment in our core strategic technologies and businesses , including the international expansion of our artificial lift, well intervention, unconventionals, and drilling technologies. We will continue to maintain capital discipline and monitor the rapidly changing market dynamics, and we may adjust our capital spend accordingly.

Significant sources and uses of cash in 2024 Sources of cash: Cash flows from operating activities were $3.9 billion. Working capital, which consists of r eceivables, inventories, and accounts payable, collectively had a negative impact of $103 million, primarily due to increased receivables.
Significant sources and uses of cash in 2025 Sources of cash: Cash flows from operating activities were $2.9 billion .
Operating income was $2.7 billion in 2024, a 4% decrease from $2.8 billion in 2023. These results were driven by lower pressure pumping services in U.S. land. Partially offsetting these declines were increased activity across multiple product service lines in Mexico and the Middle East, improved artificial lift activity in U.S. land, and higher cementing activity in Brazil and Norway.
Operating income for the segment in 2025 was $2.1 billion , a decrease of $581 million , or 21% , compared to 2024 . These results were primarily driven by decreased pressure pumping services in U.S. Land, lower completion tool sales in the Western Hemisphere, the Middle East, and Africa, and decreased well intervention services in Middle East/Asia.
