Negative Determination Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19
USC 2273) as amended by the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act
of 1988 (P. L. 100-418), the Department of Labor herein presents
the results of an investigation regarding certification of
eligibility to apply for worker adjustment assistance.
In order to make an affirmative determination and issue a
certification of eligibility to apply for adjustment assistance,
each of the group eligibility requirements of Section 222 of the
Act must be met:
(1) that a significant number or proportion of the workers
in the workers' firm, or an appropriate subdivision
thereof, have become totally or partially separated, or
are threatened to become totally or partially
separated;

(2) that sales or production, or both, of the firm or
subdivision have decreased absolutely; and

(3) that increases of imports of articles like or directly
competitive with articles produced by the firm or
appropriate subdivision have contributed importantly to
the separations, or threat thereof, and to the absolute
decline in sales or production.




The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
received on May 20, 2002 and filed on behalf of workers at
Schlumberger Oilfield Services, Well Services Division, Midland,
Texas. The workers provide services related to the exploration
and production of crude oil and natural gas, for unaffiliated
producers.
The investigation revealed that criterion (2) has not been
met.
The investigation revealed that company revenues from the
Well Services Division of Schlumberger Oilfield Services
increased during the relevant period.
Conclusion
After careful review, I determine that all workers of
Schlumberger Oilfield Services, Well Services Division, Midland,
Texas, are denied eligibility to apply for adjustment assistance
under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.
Signed in Washington, D. C. this 6th day of August, 2002.
