I get what u r trying to say but these experts don't just fall off of trees. For work in Belize your talking about the salary range of 350 - 500k a year. Lets not get a head of ourselves SLB is what it is and that's a multi-billion dollar company. The oilfield didn't allow new members from '86 to around mid '90's. We lost an entire generation and many of the guys that knew everything retired without passing info on because all of a sudden these kids with degrees came along to tell the old school guys how to do things. Sorry let me get back on topic. SLB actually is the cheapest company competing. That's their plan. Revenue Revenue Revenue. They will do cheap jobs all the time so their numbers never drop. They just do a lot of jobs. I wasn't knocking Treaty with what I said but I guess I struck a nerve but what u are saying is super unrealistic. SLB Bowing down to Treaty? They bought Smith Services two years ago for like 50 billion. Their CEO Could buy Treaty with his quarterly bonus. I hope Treaty pulls through but we need to get 1 successful well before the "250" u speak of.
