Looking toward the future: Jim Nowotny, Atwood Oceanics

摘要

YOU CAN'T SAY that Jim Nowotny isn't experienced. He's served Atwood Oceanics for over 14 years in countries like Australia, Turkey and Italy. He's moved from project engineer, straight out of Texas A&M University, through the ranks to his current position as senior manager of contracts in marketing. With experience on and off the rig, Mr Nowotny brings a fresh outlook to the industry's future. "I'd always grown up in the oilfield. My father was a land drilling contractor so I was always around the oilfield but never offshore prior to joining Atwood Oceanics. That was what attracted me to Atwood during an interview at A&M. I always felt that it was going to be an interesting career, just growing up with it," he said.
