HISTORICAL CLIENT LIST
Many Gone, But Not Forgotten

Over the 50+ year span of my professional career, I worked in what is politely called the "service" industry, working for clients in the oil, gas, and mineral exploitation sector. My records of the first 20 years are lost to posterity and a house fire. Below is a list of companies around the world that were brave enough to contract my services, however briefly.

Clients included oil and gas companies of all sizes, mining companies, service companies, government agencies, consulting firms, and universities. This list stretches back at least 35 years, so more than a few companies have merged, sold out, changed names, or disappeared.

Here's where the work came from, often indirectly through consultants or companies working overseas from North America who needed my specialized skill set: Canada, USA, Mexico, Trinidad, Cuba, Venezuela, Argentina, Colombia, Bolivia, Ecuador, Peru, North Sea, United Kingdom, France, Spain, Algeria, Morocco, Tunesia, Libya, Egypt, Yemen, Kuwait, Iran, Iraq, Abu Dhabi, Azerbaijan, Angola, Thailand, Vietnam, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Indonesia, Australia, China, Mongolia, Japan, Russia, Albania, Bulgaria, Romania, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan. Of these 45 countries, only 12 showed up on my passport; the rest didn't need to "see" me in person, and vice-versa.

In North Ameriaca, I worked on wells in 12 of Canada's provinces and terretories, as wel as a dozen or more US states. I also spent much of a 10 year stretch traveling in and out of the Canadian Arctic Islands to supervise well logging operations, a country and culture more remote and vastly different than all the others.

The record below covers 1984 through 2018. The period 1973 to 1984 was lost to the Great Paper Shredder.
