ENSCO: The First Twenty Years is about the founder, people and life of a company that achieved success against all odds as a result of commitment, discipline, and dedicated and focused management. But it also is the story of an industry plagued by up-and-down cycles and the difficulties that oil service companies face in uncertain markets. It's a tale of American business history, of risk-taking, entrepreneurship and business development by a company that thrived with visionary, careful and hard-working leadership."--Jacket. 606 $aOffshore oil well drilling$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aOffshore oil industry$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aOffshore oil well drilling$xHistory$zUnited States 606 $aOffshore oil industry$xHistory$zUnited States 606 $aBusiness & Economics$2HILCC 606 $aIndustries$2HILCC 615 0$aOffshore oil well drilling$xHistory. 615 0$aOffshore oil industry$xHistory. 615 0$aOffshore oil well drilling$xHistory 615 0$aOffshore oil industry$xHistory 615 7$aBusiness & Economics 615 7$aIndustries 676 $a338.7/622338190973 700 $aBarta$b Carolyn$01070404 801 0$bDLC 801 1$bDLC 801 2$bYDX 801 2$bYDXCP 801 2$bBAKER 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910679388403321 996 $aENSCO$92559181 997 $aUNINA 999 $aThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
