Deepwater People

Deepwater competence and knowledge management

Our top priority for deepwater personnel is extension of skill sets and experience. This continual process is so important that we have established a global deepwater management team to oversee the Schlumberger deepwater certification system.

Deepwater certification

Our unique three-phase deepwater certification is a rigorous process that assures only specially trained, experienced engineers are assigned to deepwater projects. It is a key step toward our goal of delivering excellence in service quality and in project execution at the wellsite.

• Phase 1: We identify the most accomplished deepwater field personnel in all our business lines.
• Phase 2: We add to their expert knowledge through a comprehensive, demanding deepwater-specific training curriculum.
• Phase 3: We qualify each candidate through assessments at a deepwater rigsite before granting a deepwater competence certification.

Matching the best people to the job

We track the worldwide Schlumberger deepwater population from their first day of employment, mapping expertise and experience by

• certification
• training
• client
• rig
• services
• water depth.

This unique tool enables the most suitable match of experts to projects based on skill sets and experience rather than on location.
