| Iwona has worked for SUNDOWNER for nine years. In her dedication, she has moved the office to the combined NABORS/ SUNDOWNER location (as well as many individual moves in office spaces since), and established many procedures and policies. Iwona also arranges flights, visas and shot updates for the international crews and their families, as well as the travel arrangements for all the Senior Management. She oversees all the interoffice workings and insures that all can function daily in a pleasant and professional environment. All who know her agree, Iwona is truly the Lady of the Oilpatch! | Nicole has worked for NABORS for over five years. She put her History/English degree to good use as she started with NDIL as a Project Buyer, and trained at Roberds Johnson. In her career, she has visited rigs in Venezuela, and helped set up their inventory system. Her present project is to get the "bugs" worked out of the new Purchasing System. Jim Travis says that "she really knows her stuff," and that their car discussions (to New Iberia) frequently include the benets of this or that rig component, and the "best deal" for buying it! | Margaret is one of the few women to pursue a discipline such as rig drafting work. She is very familiar with AutoCAD, the software used for rig design and platform layouts, as well as many other graphics programs. Margaret came to SUNDOWNER after working for one year with NDIL. Most recently, Margaret became the rst woman to go out via helicopter to an Enron platform to conduct a platform survey. The day trip was exciting, yet began very early and she found herself testing the crew quarters for sleeping accommodations before returning to shore. | Jeana works at the Roberds Johnson yard, in the NABORS/ SUNDOWNER trailer. Her official jobs are to issue purchase orders, expedite and follow-up on orders, and reconcile the invoice and payment scale. Her main job, however, is to coordinate the rig activities occurring in the yard, and keep her immediate boss, Earney White, on track. Nicole Badura, her supervisor, says she doesn't know what she would do without Jeana! Jeana has worked for SUNDOWNER since the summer of 1996. |
