They are now willingly exploring processes and technologies, beyond those offered by the likes of Schlumberger or Shell.<BR/><BR/>This is the main reason why I am here. In my day to day I see how the existing processes, methodologies and technologies are extremely inefficient, to put it nicely. This might have been acceptable when oil was available on-tap, but now we are being hosted here to help tighten things up and introduce new ways of doings things better and cheaper.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6283845125208268798.post-31326755434724232002009-01-08T18:13:00.000+04:002009-01-08T18:13:00.000+04:00Interesting information.I left PDO in 2001, shortl...Interesting information.<BR/>I left PDO in 2001, shortly before the production decline started. Just before I left, there were rumors that the oil fields were being mismanaged. PDO had initiated a bonus scheme tied to barrels produced, and the production people were pumping every barrel they could to make their bonuses NOW, not worrying about the future. Whereas this may not have been the primary reason for the decline, I think it was a contributory factor.<BR/>In any case, PDO is to be congratulated. Lets hope this short time increase becomes a long term trend. AbdAbdullahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596118994410731450noreply@blogger.com
