Schlumberger officially inaugurated the Schlumberger Siberian
Training Center, in Tyumen, West Siberia, in the Russian Federation
on March 21. Vladimir Yakushev, governor of the Tyumen Region, and
Andrew Gould, chairman and chief executive officer of Schlumberger,
officiated at the opening ceremony in front of more than 170 guests
drawn from regional government, oil company and Schlumberger
representatives. The new state-of-the-art center has been designed
to provide basic and advanced training in the Russian language for
Schlumberger field engineers and specialists as well as to offer
specialized courses for the Russian oil and gas community. The site
covers 150 hectares and is entirely self-sufficient with
accommodation for 160 students in custom-designed study-bedroom
cottages. Total investment will exceed $100 million. The center is
the latest and largest of such centers that Schlumberger is opening
around the world. Opening the facility, Governor Yakushev remarked,
�On behalf of the government of the Tyumen Region, I would like to
thank Schlumberger for selecting the Region for making the
investment and building this Training Center. I am sure that the
Center will contribute considerably to the training of oilfield
service workers not only in the Tyumen Region but also in Russia as
a whole.� The center includes classrooms, workshops, fully equipped
laboratories and field technical equipment to provide Schlumberger
geoscientists, field engineers, field technicians and maintenance
engineers from the Russian Federation and Russian-language
countries with new technology skills. Training courses will be held
in artificial lift, directional drilling, well cementing and
stimulation, data services and information solutions as well as in
integrated project management. A strong focus will be placed on
technologies applicable worldwide, as well as on fit-for-purpose
applications for the Russian market. �The Siberian Training Center
is the very latest of only three new-generation training centers
that we are opening around the world. These new centers are
designed to respond to the challenge of training the future
generations of engineers and technicians that the industry will
need. They are remarkable not only by their size, but also by the
training opportunities that they provide,� commented Gould,
Schlumberger chairman and CEO. Construction of the center started
in February 2006. The first phase, which included completion of the
specialist driver-training facility, opened in January 2007 and the
main facility and accommodation blocks opened in February 2008. The
training capacity is expected to double over the next year to reach
