Huib successfully led a fairly large team of onshore and offshore personnel from all over the world. He is an organized, dedicated and thorough thinking manager, who had had no difficulty handling his team and operation, applying well-reasoned technical solutions, to (unanticipated) problems. His HSE ethic was dedicated and visible for all to see. In summary, Huib will be a very valuable, dependable, and honest asset to any international drilling operation.

Bob L., Drilling Manager

In my 40 years in the business, I have worked with over 300 wells’ teams, countless Engineers and Superintendents. 

Huib has been a subordinate, an equal and a client. He ranks within the top 5 people (of over 20,000) who I have met with regards to operational and planning ability and professional integrity.

He can be very demanding to work with, which is a gift that few have been endowed with, and retained, in our industry, where accepting second-best often leads to disaster.

I was impressed with the management and facilitation of both sessions. John Sands and Huib Attema both facilitated in a manner that maintained the participation and energy in the room at high levels.

Craig McG., Drilling and Operations Manager

 I have worked with hundreds of drillers in my career and have to say I have never worked with such a group of highly motivated and professional individuals as those I have had the pleasure of working with in Australia.

Paddy S., Snr Marine Advisor

 Thanks again for a quick and fit for purpose offset well review on Nova Scotia. This is exactly what we were looking for, and it was delivered even quicker than I expected.

Benn H., Exploration Team Lead

 I’d come back and work for you and Donnie but none of the others, never!

Ray T., SDSV

I would like to pass on my thanks, It is not very often that I get a chance to sing praises, but in my short 30 years in the oil field I have never work with a better company and company personnel, yourself, Alistair, Ray, Darryl, and the 3rd party hands. It has been an experience that I will remember (with fond memories).

Peter, OIM

 I just wanted to thank you for helping me out on the roll over. My numbers would have been a disaster, I promise you I will never doubt anything you say and will learn from all you tell me. Sincerely Kelly.

Kelly K., MPD Supervisor

Amerada Hess has an excellent employee in Mr. Attema, and should keep him busy and interested as much as possible.

He is, and will continue to increase as a valuable asset to your company.
