XOM. Any CV with XOM experience is highly valued. I personally think that being in SLB (please don't be offended) is over-rated. My experience in dealing with them is that, they are experts in tools or functions that they are in only. It's like a horse with blinders,. Most of them are log analyst and not a petrophysicist (there is a difference). If you work with an Operator, you will have a more broad based experience as that is the requirement by the company. They need you to work in integrated team so you need to know what others are doing. I have had countless arguments with my colleagues who were previously from service companies and one of the main issues I think is that they have no clue what I am doing and they have no clue on the data requirements from my side. Yes, the logs are fine but for F sake, you cannot directly populate water saturation in a 3D model, any experienced petrophysicists who have worked in an integrated team would know that ..... not a log analyst who have been looking at logs in stand-alone mode for the last 20 years. You see where I am coming?
This of course doesn't mean that the design consultant is similar to SLB, maybe they work differently, it's just that my experience with most upstream service provider is like this.
Ha ha ha... Are you talking to me? I think you are talking to me... he he he...
But the difference is I know what I am doing... and if I don't know I do not claim to know. I also know the limits of what can and cannot be achieved and done... Working from both sides of the border (operators and service companies), I see that the log analyst should compliment the petrophysicist and vice versa. The problem with the majority of those folks are they think they know all, which is absolute rubbish.
So I got really pissed off many times with SLB so called petrophysicists that came to me and treated problems we have as non-existence... i.e. nothing wrong with my 'tool', my Ass.... I am not an expert in their tools but I can tell inside out about other service company tools, and their functions. Principles are the same, tools have different design.... Many of these so called SLB petrophysicst knows jack on what they claim they know. BTW, it is unfair for me to isolate SLB alone... HAL, BAKER, and etc have same problems too...
And Azraeil, u are absolutely spot on with respect to the knowledge of these folks. However, I have seen many operator's only petrophysicicts that could not tell between good and bad data too. And they do not understand what the data really tell them. That's why I said, each have to compliment the other and especially if both now work from within the same operator.
