ESTJ of the CRFL.


At least in Working Links, by the evaluation they make to me, I pass to be “The Organizer” (ESTJ).Of whom the big six is: The Doer, Dependable, Confident, Outspoken (?), Clear, Practical. This is okay with me. Not that I’d been fascinated. At that particular day(period). – I evaluate myself like a “The Performer”. Which mean: Friendly, Active, Enjoy life, Team player, People friendly (?), and Generous. Well, maybe because I was talking too much. Having by audience this, so much younger people, was frenzy to doing “fixing”, manipulations, orienting, straightforwarding and “organizing”. Using this inutile time for my own objectives, for my “Projects” and for my eventual ‘bridges’, to more later remember where I put the supports, what did, or didn’t work and when, and why in the first place I want to do “this” and in which ‘crossing’. However, in order to achieve MY goals in the financial and “english speaking World” activities, that I’m are involved with now, - it’s a really effort to stay focused. (It’s everything: The Captain Blood from Maracaibo’s B Atlantic, the PSOE/PP of Aznar’s finger, the ‘revolution’ with help of Yoplait, the Echelon 1 ‘in Taxes’, the “somebody-eye-in-the-somebody butt” $ 7 billion of Alexander House project, etc.) List is very long. Start with my persistent dilemma of the Robinson Crusoe who spends 25 years in the desert isle in the only company of goats… From where of course, pop-ups the two legs of MY “Project”. (I.e. the Saud Bin Abdulaziz Bin Nasir Bin Abdulaziz Al Saud and the Bandar Abdulah Abdulaziz Ibn Muhtar Abas Abduralha). These is exactly that times when become unnecessary to speculate, just need to read the “fruits” of my dedication. (Schlumberger on verge of Smith takeover)… Not sure if in this place to put “nation…” or the “CRFL” of www.workinglinks.co.uk. To not situate the my Profile Type into the ENTJ. Which is “The Lieder”: Planner, Direct, Organizer, Assertive, Decisive, Take Charge. With all respect and consideration, The Basel II Interbank Agreement.

Schlumberger on verge of Smith takeover. Published: February 19 2010 09:51 | Last updated: February 19 2010 09:58. Schlumberger, the world’s largest oil services group, is close to an agreed takeover of the US company Smith International, in a deal that could be worth about $9bn. The acquisition would extend Schlumberger’s lead over its competitors in the international oil services business. Valued at $79bn, it is already more than twice the size of Halliburton of the US, its closest rival. The move, reported by the Wall Street Journal, comes as many in the industry see a coming upturn in the oil services business. Prices for services fell sharply in the global recession as companies cut spending, and Smith was hit hard: its net profits fell 81 per cent last year to $148m. But the recovery in the price of oil has raised expectations that activity is set to strengthen. Schlumberger’s shares have risen 72 per cent in the past 12 months. Andrew Gould, Schlumberger chief executive, said recently he believed the downward pressure on the price of oil services was over. Talks with oil production companies about price cuts “are behind us”, Mr Gould told the Bloomberg news agency, adding that if oil prices picked up further “certain shortages will appear quite quickly” in the industry. “There will be plenty of activity in most areas of oilfield services,” he said. “I think some will suffer from pricing longer than others. For example, there’s going to be plenty of seismic activity but plenty of new capacity, so pricing in marine seismic will remain quite weak.” Contracts signed by international oil companies to develop huge fields in Iraq are one factor behind the expected increase in demand for oil services this year. Smith, like Schlumberger, specialises in sub-surface operations for oil and gas exploration and production, providing products and services for drilling and completing wells. It is based in Houston but earns two-thirds of its revenues outside the US, employs 21,000 people and last year had revenues of $8.2bn. John Yearwood, who took over as chief executive at Smith at the start of 2009, worked for Schlumberger for 26 years. Schlumberger, which has headquarters in Paris and Houston and employs 77,000 people, refused to comment while Smith International could not immediately be reached for comment. Last year Schlumberger reported revenues down 16 per cent at $22.7bn, and net profit down 42 per cent at $3.13bn. There is a risk the proposed deal could fall foul of competition authorities, which have raised concerns about the relationship between Schlumberger and Smith. The two companies operate a drilling fluids joint venture, M-I, which when it was formed in 1999 led to them paying a fine of $14.6m to US antitrust authorities.
