      Actually Slider was a spin off from Noble Drilling. I owned and worked in Slider from April 2003 to January 2015. Slider was bought by PathFinder on the 9th of April 2008, then PathFinder was bought by Smith Bits on the 25 August of 2008, then Smith Bits was bought by Schlumberger on the 27th of August 2010. I believe this is a rare story of succession that worked out well since I owned another company (proNova-TDE)
