"Oil, the basis of our supply of energy is a finite resource
that needs to be exploited with infinite care."
D. E. Baird
Former Chairman and CEO Schlumberger
In thousands of ways oil is at the center of our lives and work.
Modern civilization runs on oil that flows from a reservoir of
rock born millions of years ago. The life of the reservoir began
when the earth was young and continues today.

"I think the challenges in the oil business
are absolutely phenomenal. I mean there's nowhere else
where you can do everything almost blind. I mean there's
this big block of rock buried deep in the earth and it
has got something very valuable in it that we want to
get out."

"We exist on hydro-carbons every day. We use them to
heat our houses. We use them to generate our energy. We
run on hydro-carbons. We build things out of hydro-carbons."

"This quest for petroleum has been going on
for over a hundred years now. It is literally the fuel
that drives all of the economies of the world."
