Haven't seen it, but I think "democrat" would be a slag on Marky's character for pronouncing Schlumberger correctly, which one would expect any good Cajun would be able to do.

Schlumberger provided wireline logging services for the rig. I doubt they interpreted any of the logs, but rather turned the data over to BP or Haliburton and went home.

  I just did a little investigatin'...
  
  [snip]
  BP contracted Schlumberger to run the Cement Bond Log (CBL) test that was the final test on the well plug that was skipped before the April 20 explosion. The oil industry website, www.oildrum.com quoted Gregory McCormack, director of the Petroleum Extension Service at the University of Texas, as saying the CBL is the "gold standard" of cement tests. The website reported the CBL "records detailed, 360-degree representations of the well and can show where the cement isn't adhering fully to the casing and where there may be paths for gas or oil to get into the hole."
  
  Schlumberger's contractors ordered BP's Deepwater Horizon operational manager to dump kill fluid down the well to plug up the well. The BP manager refused and. Schlumberger's team asks for a helicopter to evacuate all Schlumberger's personnel to shore. BP's manager replied that there were not more scheduled helicopters that week but the Schlumberger crew interceded with Schlumberger's front office, which sent a helicopter to evacuate their personnel at Schlumberger's expense.
