Two weeks were spent in Hazar in Turkmenistan in January of 2018, giving training to oil field operatives in Pump and Compressor Technology. Hazar is an early centre of the oil industry, on the East bank of the Caspian Sea. It is dry desert country, extremely cold and almost as far below ocean level as the Dead Sea in Israel. Splendid people, however.

 

The person on my left, in this picture of one of my classes, is my translator from English to Russian as my Russian is only of the essential “Good morning, where is the toilet please?” variety. A brilliant young man with a degree in Oil Field Engineering, which he earned at a Chinese university. He can speak Russian, English, Turkmen and Mandarin.

There is still a strong European influence in Oman, with Shell service stations, instead of indigenous oil companies as in the Emirates and elsewhere. The hotel I stayed in even had a badminton court! How British is that? It was good fun teaching my delegates to play the game after class each day - even at my age!
