The opening was reported on local TV news and in papers.
The SEED project in Surgut was brilliantly implemented thanks to the help and enthusiasm of Schlumberger employees, managers and SEED Volunteers. In Russia 15 SEED-connected schools in the Western Siberia, Moscow and Sakhalin Island were equipped with necessary hardware, provided access to the Internet and innovative educational programs. All this helps to connect the Schlumberger experts, engineers to youth and youth to one another, worldwide.
