 DTS is a Foundation

• New global culture calls for broad skills and know-

ledge of operations in geographical areas with little
support.

• Drilling supervisors are company representatives,

both on and off the job.

• There are behavioral and technical expectations and

responsibilities that go with this position.

• Instructors and people making this school happen are

among the best engineers and operations personnel.

16
 Management Expectations

• We expect you to take advantage of the knowledge

these people will present to you

• Learn as much you can

• Take the school seriously, but also.....

Have a good time and get to know your

peers and the people you work for.
