Schlumberger Water Services encourages its staff to stay at the leading edge of technical developments in our industry sectors, by membership of professional organisations, and by continuing professional development (CPD). Important aspects of CPD include the publication of peer-reviewed papers in scientific journals, and making presentations at industry conferences and seminars.
