re: Schlumberger announces 9000 job cuts due to low oil prices

You must not be familiar with how Halliburton operates . Their facilities will never be as elaborate, as nice, even as adequate as SLB and BHI. Just enough to get the work done. You should have seen some of the facilities they were operating out of before. But they also aren't as quick to announce big cuts in personnel like SLB is doing. Not that they won't here, but I remember certain divisions of SLB packing up shop during the oil spill. Halliburton and BHI waited it out and it paid off when the Gulf came back stronger than before. Plus BHI has that nice facility right off 90 in Broussard. Won't take much money to paint that red
