all Oil Majors use service providers such as BHI they use service providers for pretty much everything. As they don't own rigs etc.
eg if you work on a rig for Exxon normally the only representative of exxon will be the "company man" he's in charge of the whole show but:
- The rig is provided by a service provider e.g Maersk, Transocean etc. which includes personnel for day to day running roughnecks and roustabouts etc
- The drilling fluid (mud) is provided by a service provider eg BHI, Schlumberger, Haliburton
- The mud logging is provided by a service provider eg BHI, Schlumberger, Haliburton
- The Geologist might be Exxon
- The Cement is provided by a service provider eg BHI, Schlumberger, Haliburton
- The LWD/MWD is provided by a service provider eg BHI, Schlumberger, Haliburton
- The Directional driller (if required) is provided by a service provider eg BHI, Schlumberger, Haliburton
You get the idea.....
What Schlumberger and BHI have done over the years is move from just a service provider to offering a fullstream capability with Schlumberger that also means they have become operator for some blocks, as I'm sure BHI are looking to do or may already do.
