Schlumberger-Anton venture to reduce headcount
Hong Kong
AN oilfield service joint venture set up by Schlumberger Ltd and Anton Oilfield Services Group will fire some staff after the partnership failed to win enough contracts.
Sichuan-based Tongzhou IPM Services Co, set up in September 2012, will fire some employees to cut operating costs, said Wang Bo, Anton's Hong Kong-based spokesman. The move doesn't imply that Anton and Schlumberger, the world's largest oilfield-services provider, plan to shut the venture.
