Momentum

Momentum is the magazine of the employees, customers and key suppliers of M-I SWACO. It is produced quarterly and features a country of region in each issue. This cover feature tells the story of that country, from the challenges to the successes and the specific tool, products and services that M-I SWACO uses to help our customers succeed.

Also featured is an Up Close interview with a key member of our many varied divisions, sections and departments. This piece gives the straight-from-the-source information about topics like managing Production Chemicals in the Middle East or how the IT and Finance departments prepared M-I SWACO for the 2010 merger with Schlumberger.

Other sections look at our employees and their lives outside work, at the field successes of our products, at the technical papers and trade articles published by our scientists and much more.

The last four issues are available for immediate download as PDF documents.
