Unparalleled opportunity When did you first hear about Schlumberger? While I was working offshore for China National Oil Offshore Corporation (CNOOC) between 1995 and 2000, I met quite a few Schlumberger field engineers and got to know the company through them. What attracted you to apply to Schlumberger? The technology, the career development, and the opportunities for working abroad. What were your first impressions? This is a well-organized company with superior training programs and full of young, energetic people. Please tell us about your career history and your current job. After joining Schlumberger in year 2000, I worked as a field engineer for Artificial Lift (ALS), a product & service segment of Schlumberger. I was assigned to offshore work on rotation schedule, 28 days on and 28 days off for 3 years, to troubleshoot and repair high voltage variable speed drives (VSD) and electrical submersible pumps (ESP), which was an easy part of my life and career looking back from now. Before long, I was promoted to be an application engineer working at Beijing office. That position involved working closely with clients and assisting with designs, equipment requirements, job preparation, and analysis of all related operations. My first overseas assignment came in April 2006. Having acquired sound knowledge about our technologies and the realities of the field, I was promoted to technical sales engineer, based at Miri, Malaysia. I was all by myself to cover east Malaysia, Philippines and Brunei Artificial Lift business and operations. In the busiest year 2007, I used up 3 passports due to frequent travels between the three countries. But I also enjoyed this assignment to view the beautiful rain forest of east Malaysia and learned diving for the first time. In 2008, after plenty of sweat, hard work and some success stories in east Malaysia, I was promoted to ALS Operations Manager of Brunei, Malaysia and Philippines (BMP). Now I am back in China as the ALS Operations Manager for China, Japan and Korea (CHG) and also the Shekou base manager. I must admit managing CHG ALS business while taking care of the base, ZHOU Zhenguo Operations Manager CHG Artificial Lift Shekou, China “Work hard and play hard” and at the same time doing my company sponsored master degree education isn’t easy at all! But I enjoyed it as much I enjoyed all my past years with Schlumberger. This is a true international company full of challenges and equal opportunities!

Only in 2005, I started to think about my future. In year 2006 when I passed my General Field Engineer (GFE) control, during my Career Orientation Review (COR) with my managers, I set my ambitious goal to become Operations Manager in 5 years time. Once I committed to this goal and worked my hardest towards it, my effort was finally paid off and dream became true in just two years. What do you do in your spare time? I have a broad range of interests. Basketball, table tennis, photography, hiking and camping, diving and underwater photography, learning Wing Chun martial art are my favorite pastimes. The diving experience in Malaysia was best of all in my life so far. I have always believed in working hard and playing hard. What are the key personal qualities that allow you to succeed in Schlumberger? I am not smarter than any others, but I am one of the hardest workers and I am honest to everyone.
