June 30, 2009 (Yael Samama Bourgade, SSA Web Content Editor) - Update regarding launch date of the new Ssafara web portal - For the last 3 months the web team has worked very hard to re-think and remodel the Ssafara.net website; important milestones such as the revised architecture of the site, a younger, trendier look, and the integration of social and networking tools, have been reached and are ready to be put in place.
From a technical standpoint however, we have encountered a few obstacles that have slowed us down and make it impossible today to meet our announced launch date of June 30th.
With many team members, like me, away during the summer holidays we have chosen to wait until mid-august to resume our work and hope to present the new Ssafara portal by the end of September.
I'm sure many are as disappointed as I am to find we will need to wait a few more weeks to see the new website, but I assure you it is well worth the wait!!!
As promised I will continue to keep you updated of our progress. Thank you very much for your understanding.

June 2, 2009 (Andrew Gould) - Flight AF 447 - It is with deep personal regret that I inform you that Andres Suarez, Vice President of Wireline for Latin America, and Alexander Bjoroy, son of Robin and Jane Bjoroy, were on board Air France flight 447 to Paris lost over the Atlantic on Monday June 1st.
I think I speak on behalf of everyone when I say that our heartfelt sorrow goes out to Andres’ wife Samantha and their families, and to Robin and Jane on their tragic loss.
Both Andres and Alexander will be greatly missed by their families and friends inside and outside of Schlumberger.
