Robert's Story

Life I graduated BHS in 1976 and went on to Texas Tech with Mark Hunter, Mark Morris, Jay Puckett, and Darte Hensley. We all lived in the same dorm, on the same floor, and within a few doors of each other. That first year was a hoot. I lived in the dorm for the first 2 years, but moved off campus my third. As time went own, we all kind of drifted apart except for Morris and I. We still keep in close touch and suppose will always be best of lifetime friends. Although sporadically, I have also stayed in touch with Denny Sexton over the years. She too is one of those lifetime friends. I graduated Tech in 1981 as a Petroleum Engineer, got married that same year, and went to work for Mobil in Midland Texas. We were transferred around Texas several times over the next 8 years, had 3 children (Katie, Beth, and David), and ended up in Houston. She decided that she would rather live with her mother in Lubbock and so in 1989 as they say, that was that. Over the years, we have become friends again and keep in touch, celebrate some holidays together, etc. All three of our children are now grown now and out on their own. My son David moved in with me in Houston for a couple of years whilst he went to school. He has since graduated and moved back to Dallas. It was great to have him around and it gave us a chance to reconnect. My oldest is an RN in the Navy stationed a Bethesda Naval Hospital in Maryland. Se is expecting in December 2007, so I guess I have to get used to being a Grandpa. I left Mobil in 1990, went to work for several independent oil companies over the next 6 years before ending up in Venezuela working for Schlumberger. Schlumberger contracted me out to an independent oil company out of Britain called LASMO as the Engineering Manager over Venezuelan Operat...Expand for more
ions. LASMO had purchased the right to operate a large oil field in Venezuela called Dacion. It was a great assignment with a lot of responsibility and stress. We were able to take the production from 7000 bopd in 1997 to 48,000 bopd in 2001. LASMO was purchased by an Italian company called ENI in 2000 and by 2001, the political climate in Venezuela was worsening daily and the country was becoming exceeding dangerous. I requested and was transferred in to Houston in late 2001, just in time for 9/11. What a homecoming…… Whilst is Venezuela, I met and married one of those lovely, young Venezuelan girls in 1997 (much younger than me). We were married on July 4, 1997. Can’t forget my anniversary! We have 1 nine year old child, Victoria, who is the highlight of my life. She is definitely “Dad’s girl”. My wife immigrated to the US in 2001 (legally), has since gotten her citizenship, learned to read, write, and speak English, has obtained her LVN nursing degree, and is now studying to get her RN degree… (Tell me again it can’t be done legally.) She is definitely smarted than me. We still live in Houston, well actually in Cinco Ranch area of Katy Texas. When I returned to the US in 2001, I did a few short stunts in Russia, Peru, England, and South Louisiana?!. Since 2003, I have been a Project Manager for Deep and Ultra Deep Water Gulf of Mexico completion operations contracted out to various oil companies through Schlumberger. It is a fun and challenging job, pays well, and I don’t have all the stress associated with working and managing operations and people in a foreign country. And I don’t have to speak my poor Spanish, or really non-existent Russian. Life is good, but I still haven’t won the lottery yet. Guess I better start buying tickets….
