NEW S
FROM
DMO
by Peter Clark
Peter Clark very kindly sent
us an article and photos concerning
the presentation of
ten year medals DMO-style !
Thank you Peter.
After waiting some two months for
a majority of the participants
to be in the same place
at the same time, DMO presented
the 10 year pins in Bahrain
in February to four Chief Operators:
Yves Mengual, Jacques Geneste,
Jean Pierre Lecoadou and
Peter Kopietz.
But P. Kopietz
is sure of
P. Clark’s
ability

Three other 10 year men,
Qn 0perations in Abu Dhabi, were
unable to make the party.
In Bahrain, Division Manager
Peter Clark presented the pins and
particularly welcomed the four
“long service wives”
along with other operating and
division office personnel from
Bahrain. Yves Mengual and Peter
Kopietz are comparative newcomers
to DMO, while J.P. Lecoadou
was one of the early
founder members o f the Bahrain
organisation.
Jacques Geneste and Jackie were
able to come across from Abu Dhabi
where, as Sales & Service Engineer,
Jacques has recently had his
hands very full in transferring the
Das contract to the mainland
and establishing a large
base to service the rapidly expanding
Abu Dhabi activity.
Yves Mengual and Jean-Pierre Lecoadou receive their 10 year
awards from Division Manager Peter Clark.
The long service men with their obviously happy wives looking
forward no doubt to the next ten. Christiane Lecoadou,
M. Mengual, Jackie Geneste and Fabienne and Peter Kopietz

DMO
During the somewhat hilarious
cocktail some 25 DMO personnel sat
down to dinner at the
Gulf Hotel in Bahrain. Two of
the younger set, recently
promoted Cees Huisman and
Christian Jauzeleau, kept the party
swinging with a take-off o f the
pin presentation - each of the 10 year
men getting plastic watches and
Mickey Mouse money.

Amoung other DMO people enjoying the evening, were Oscar Vay - Division Accountant
in Bahrain Ali Karahin - Administrative Supervisor and Division Secretary Rita Mackintosh
with Pierre Poliak and Mary Clark.

Next morning, Pushpah as efficient as ever
on the telex and Jacques Richou gets down to the
running of the Bahrain Base.
THE
FAR EAST
The Far East is the biggest
division in Flopetrol in terms of
area, and the most varied in terms of
climate and living conditions.
The Far East Division is managed
from Singapore,
a small island (which is independent)
off the tip of the Malay Peninsula.
Most o f our personnel live
in Singapore and Jakarta (in Java)
which are about 600 miles
apart, on opposite
sides o f the equator.
René Attal is living in Balikpapan,
some 700 miles north east
o f Jakarta on the east coast of
Borneo. Although Borneo is as big
as France there are no more
than 200 miles o f road - all transport
and communications are by river
or aeroplane.
NEWS
FROM
DEO
Our next client is another
1700 miles to the east ( 4000 miles
from Singapore) near Melbourne in the
south east of Australia. But we
still have another 2000 miles to the
final work area (almost 6000 miles
from Singapore) in New Zealand.
We are now at longitude 170° E and
latitude 45° S, within 10° exactly
opposite Western Europe.
This means that personnel acclimati­
sed to the equatorial conditions
in Singapore or Jakarta
can suddenly find themselves off
the south coast o f Australia
where it can be quite as cold as the
North Sea in winter.
Jean-Claude Blondeau will shortly
be moving to Borneo on the
north coast, but to get
from Balikpapan to Borneo you have
to go through Jakarta and Singaporeover 2000 miles instead o f 400.
Some 2500 miles south of Singapore,
we find Phil Smith and
Ben Bruens in Perth on the west
coast of Australia. However,
the rigs on which they normally
work are on the
“North West Shelf” 1000 miles to the north.

COCKTAIL
PARTY
IN HONOUR
OF NELLY
A N D RENS
VANDERPEET
To everybody’s surprise,
Rens van der Peet came back from
leave married.
DEO personnel therefore had
to buy another wedding present
(the first was for Phil Smith).
After a great deal of discussion it
was decided that a painting
of Singapore would be most
appropriate.
The presentation was made at a
small dinner party and Jean-Pierre
Oilier was able to come while
waiting for his flight back to Paris.
Unfortunately we could not
get any pictures of Nellie van der
Peet who refuses to be
photographed.

THE
ANNUAL
D IV IS IO N
MANAGERS
M E E T IN G
by P. ENSELME
The Division Managers’
Meeting took place in Paris
from March 5th to 9th.
We were the guests of Schlumberger,
42 Rue Saint Dominique,
for most o f the meeting except
on Thursday when
everybody went to Melun to hear
the experts on new technical
developments.
On Tuesday, a cocktail - dinner was
the opportunity for the
Managers to meet people from
Paris and Melun
as well as some distinguished guests
from Schlumberger,
Forex-Neptune,
Dowell Schlumberger, etc.
At the end o f the long day in Melun,
another drink joined
everybody together in the
class room.
By the end o f the week everybody,
especially the Managers,
was very tired. Most of them were
frantically trying to get out
of the place by any means because
most airlines were not flying due to
a strike o f air traffic controllers.
One o f the conclusions
of the meeting:
- A fact is what the boss says
- An opinion is what
anybody else says.
“Please stop pulling my leg” says Angel Monedero to Henri Freyss.
Jacques Exbrayat and André Bousigues are unconcerned.
On the other hand Peter Clark is very interested.
“I didn’t do anything” explains Peter Clark, but André Bousigues
does not believe that.
René Delmas is picking up some “facts” to be thrown in the discussion.
John Trewhella, Reg Hay and Jean-Pierre Oilier are glad not to be involved
in that one. The Greek choir in the background includes Jean Franc,
Maurice Gagneux, Henri Nocent and Edmond Diemer.
18
Obviously somebody is getting first degree and Max Tuech is now throwing
oil on the fire. Jacques Exbrayat is trying to stay neutral.
The rest of the jury is not very sympathetic either, except may be Alain Basse....
(left to right : Roger Laguerre, André Clouet and Yves Defrance).
No ! Alain Basse was only getting more facts for the accusation. Pierre Enselme,
Nuria Boussac and René Sorel are obviously not going to help. Thank God,
everybody was reconciled before the cocktail.

LA BATAILLE
DES "LANGUES "
On est puriste ou on ne l’est pas!
Les français sont,
semble-t-il très attachés
à leur langue Et la polémique est engagée Qui en sortira vainqueur ?
Verrons-nous un jour les pétroliers
parler :
- d’“ERUPT!ON”
et non de “ Blow-out”
- de “PESON”
et non de “Weight indicator”
- de “TOUR DE FORAGE”
et non de “Derrick”
- de “RECONDITIONNEMENT”
et non de “Work over”
- de “NAVIRE CITERNE”
et non de “Tanker”
- d’“ESQUICHE”
et non de “Squeeze”
et nous habituerons-nous à parler
de “REMUE MENINGES”
plutôt que de “Brainstorming” ?
Voici quelques
commentaires
de la presse anglaise
sur cette
difficile affaire.
Some nasty etymological back stab­
bing is taking place on the other
side of the English Channel. The
French are ganging up on the 20
most used Anglo-Saxon words which
have infiltrated the world of Gallic
business-speak.
It goes without saying they are all
splendid, functional and clear ex­
pressions which, o f course, is why
they are used in French economic
circles. Quite unlike the unspeakable
French substitutes which a total
lack o f politesse and not so much
as a by-your-leave, the French have
voted to take their place. Needless
to say my chap in the South of
France, ever mindful national pride
was at stake, swiftly transmitted the
persecuted terms to me before they
ended up as displaced words. You
can read them below. With grand
impartiality I’m printing the French
alternatives too.
These English words were the vic­
tims of a meeting o f the Federation
for Universal French a few days ago
at Menton. It was devoted to French
as a business language and delegates
to it voted for the French words
to be substituted for the offending
20 English ones.
The word hunt really started six
years ago when President Pompidou
then de Gaulle’s Prime Minister,
formed the High Commission for the
Defence and Expansion o f the
French Language, Pompidou, you ’ll
remember, included a demand that
French should not lose status as
the main Common Market language
when he agreed to negotiations for
Britain’s entry.
24
Meanwhile special comm ittees in
every French Government ministry
have been seeking out foreign words
that have crept into the language of
their departments. The first report
of the Government’s war on words
was given at Menton by a monsieur
from the word com m ittee of the
Ministry of Economy and Finance.
Apparently no less than 75 innocent,
ex-patriate mots had been dealt
with so far.
These have been referred to the
High Commission which takes the
advice o f the Academie Française,
that ponderous body of intellectual
brilliance which sits in permanent
judgment on the French language,
before decisions o f ministry com­
mittees are approved. When they
are the French word must be com­
pulsorily used, not only within the
administration but when dealing
with outsiders as well. Some are
long winded, though some like capi­
taux fébriles - literally feverish
funds - for hot money have a certain
charm.
While the Menton meeting was ta­
king place there was a gathering of
scientists in the next hall discussing
computers in atomic and molecular
calculations. It was organised by
the Centre Européen de Calcul Ato­
mique et Moléculaire. All 50 papers
presented were in English. Which
suggests, perhaps, that the predomi­
nance of English as a world language
is ... what’s the word I want ...
ah. fait accompli.
Nos amis anglais semblent moins puristes;
la preuve ce savoureux article,

et signé Auberon Waugh.
Ne vous y trompez pas : il est écrit en anglais.
THE BANNED W ORDS ....
CUL-DE-SAC TO AN AFFAIRE
AND THE NEW FR E N C H .
Yvonne sat at the banquette, in the
buffet restaurant, with her suave
fiancé Charles. She wore a cerise
blouse on her après-ski costume. She
viewed the menu and ordered blancmangé for dessert. She was no gour­
met and gastronomic rendez-vous
frequently gave her a migraine. As
for Charles, he was suffering from
a profound malaise.

They left her chaperon, a blonde
Swiss au-pair girl, at the café with
an apéritif, while they went off to
Charles’s pied-à-terre for their tête-à
tête. His apartment was full of bi­
zarre bric-à-brac. Mostly brassières
and other outré articles o f lingerie
for which he had a penchant. For
these reasons he liked her to be
dressed in a tulle negligee, despite
her protestations that it was too
risqué for an ex-débutante. Their
affaire was still in its early stages.
Today, while Yvonne went into the
boudoir to change, Charles lay on
his beige chaise longue, inhaling eau
de Cologne from a chiffon scarf.

“Pardon me, if I seem brusqué or

voyeur, as you might imagine. In
fact, I am an émigré Russian prince,
engaged in espionage to restore the
ancien régime by a coup d’Etat.
Our marriage would have been no
mésalliance for your family. But life
is an inscrutable game o f roulette,
and I have reached the cul-de-sac
of my role. Take my attaché case
Inside you will find a solitaire. Give
it to the au-pair girl who has always
been my paramour.....” .
