My objectives were position relevant.

I have now officially retired from Schlumberger after 37 years .Throughout my Field career in Canada, Engineering in Rosharon and Manufacturing & Engineering projects in Russia, I have had the great good fortune of meeting countless great people over the course of these past decades, be they working for Schlumberger, for our valued suppliers or for our all-important clients. It is difficult to imagine a more diverse, international, technically competent company operating throughout the world as Schlumberger that is also so well respected in the oil & gas and financial worlds. Of course we have our problems but it is difficult to argue with the continued success that we have had over these many years. I move on to my next challenge carried forward with a humble but unquestionably rewarding 37 years of experience with a truly outstanding army of colleagues and friends. To my friends and colleagues, including those of you who have preceded me in retirement or change of career path, I invite you to please connect with me through this network.
