Thank you to Energy Workforce & Technology Council for being a proud sponsor of our Podcast.
On today’s episode we have a North American legend, Robert Drummond. He spent 31 years working his way up the ladder at Schlumberger to North America President, to then turn CEO of Key Energy and now CEO of Nextier Oilfield Solutions.
Robert has an interesting story on how he ended up in the oilfield in the first place. He shares with us on the podcast how he found himself in Petroleum engineering, thanks to his fathers field trip down in the coal mines.
Robert took an interesting path in SLB, he worked his way up with never leaving North America Land. This is very uncommon in SLB culture, everyone usually has to do an assignment overseas. Robert was a unicorn in this regard, he talks to us about his experiences and why he thinks his career path was different than the rest.
Robert took on the merger between C&J and Keane to create Nextier, in one of the hardest downturns in history. Not a few months after the merger was announced Covid hit. Robert talks about how he pulled the company through this hard time and what he would have done differently given the chance.
Robert’s story is an example of where you can go by being resilient, focusing on customer needs and putting your team first.
