Design

This website was designed, edited and enhanced by Jason Lavis who is the Managing Director of Out of the Box Innovations Ltd (OOTBI). I came in contact with Jason through his business partner Steve Hauxwell at NatResPro.

Steve and I worked together for BP in Basra, Iraq back in 2012-13. I was the Cementing Specialist and Steve was the Senior Drilling Engineer. We worked well together and as you are probably aware, a Drilling Engineer will not produce a satisfactory result with a bad cementer, and vice-versa!

We have stayed in contact through LinkedIn ever since. During the oil downturn of 2014-2017 most industry specialists who have had good working relationships in the past support each other.

This is the key to the future. In the oil and gas business, many of us go through the evolution of being an employee, then a consultant, then finally a business owner. It is a fairly tight knit industry where good work is expected, demanded and also rewarded.

Out of the Box Innovations Ltd. only deals with oil and gas consultants and companies, they do not deal with anyone else. This means that when they conduct online marketing they understand the industry jargon, attitude and spirit.

If you are an energy industry professional and want some advice or help with your online marketing or web development then contact Jason and tell him I said HI! He will spend time with you free of charge and is likely to offer some helpful tips and advice whether you contract OOTBI for paid work or not.

Cheers,

Lenin.

For more than 26 years, I have worked in oil well cementing, offering my services to some of the largest oil corporations in the world and committing myself to excellence. I have mastered my role, and in doing so, I have accrued a skill set that is extremely valuable to my fellow professionals. Eager to do whatever I can to help them, I have owned and operated Better Cementing for All since 2016.
Let me tell you what Better Cementing for All does and what it means. A resource for all oil industry professionals and for cementers both established and prospective, this is a non-profit resource that I established in order to do nothing but serve and make an impact on people who are looking to build careers for themselves in cementing.
From primary cementing to remedial cementing to plug cementing to post-job results, I do it all, and I am comfortable answering in-depth questions about each and every one of these topics. I also offer tools and tips for jobseekers, general self-development advice, and guidance for equipment choices. TO put it simply, this is the go-to spot for anyone who wants to know anything about oil well cementing.
The problem, however, is that covid-19 has made the structure of the website seem untenable. I am trying to juggle the work that I do and my non-profit initiatives and finding it all unhealthy and unsustainable. I want to keep Better Cementing for All up and running, but to do that, I need your help.
