Dick Ghiselin passed away on 2nd March 2022 in Houston TX, aged 83. Dick was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease in late 2020 and it progressed rapidly while complicating his other health issues. He died surrounded by his loving and appreciative family.

Following Texas A&M College and a commission in the US Army, Dick joined Schlumberger Well Services in Louisiana in 1965, for a career that lasted 31 years. He represented North America on the ALLIANCE Schlumberger Board from 2017 until 2021.

David Pinnington writes “I first met Dick in Tokyo around 1986 when we were both coordinating marketing documentation: he was looking after North America, I was responsible for Asia. We hit it off immediately and until recently we visited each other every year in France and in Houston.

“Dick did a great job in Schlumberger NAM, both in his marketing responsibilities and also in keeping track of the many external employee-oriented groups that there are in the US. He joined the ALLIANCE Schlumberger Board and was an invaluable member, travelling from Houston to our meetings and making presentations to Members at the AGM.

“Dick had a delightful, always-happy personality. He made friends everywhere he went and he will be greatly missed, especially by me and my neighbours in France. We greatly enjoyed his visits and even if everyone didn’t understand his accent, they certainly enjoyed his infectious laughter and kindness.

“We shall all miss him.”
