Schlumberger beefs up for Haynesville
Texas-based services giant Schlumberger is expanding its operation in Shreveport for work on the Haynesville Shale play.
The $48 million project will bring about 400 jobs around Shreveport in the northwest part of the state.
The expansion comes after Schlumberger said it would eliminate up to 1000 jobs in North America, or about 5% of its work force, and was looking at cuts elsewhere globally.
The company employs 19,000 in North America and 84,000 worldwide.
