AB: Schlumberger is often seen as a physics, chemistry and engineering company whose primary businesses are directional drilling, well logging, cementing, perforating and stimulation. However, in the future we see enormous potential for growth in the areas of seismic for reservoir monitoring, production services and project management. To succeed we will have to greatly strengthen our geo-technical workforce - geologists, geophysicists, drilling, reservoir and petroleum engineers. This will involve recruiting new graduates and developing their careers in addition to mid-career hiring. For the last 25 years, we have developed a culture of hiring in the countries where we work and of career development for employees of all nationalities. I will review our recruiting, training and university relations efforts and will discuss the adjustments we have made to effectively manage the growth of our geo-technical community.
