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.
