My comments

My comments I worked there during 2 years from 2006 to 2008, I discover this country for the first time, and it was a valuable experience collaborating with Chadian / Philippine’s / American from Exxon even after 15 years we still write each other remembering the good and challenging time that we had. In the middle of nowhere we extract sticky oil and export to Cameroon, through a pipeline in the middle of jungle, some time we meet elephant, snake wild animals. I met some good guys like Tony Caldwell one my best colleague I had in my life and Richie Beynon, Stewart Miller, John Wayne johns, ed kadchadorian we were working friendly and professionally
