Ensco: The First Twenty Years

by Carolyn Barta

"This book is the story of the people who built ENSCO International Incorporated into one of the largest and most profitable offshore drilling companies in the world and how they did it. ENSCO: The First Twenty Years is about the founder, people and life of a company that achieved success against all odds as a result of commitment, discipline, and dedicated and focused management. But it also is the story of an industry plagued by up-and-down cycles and the difficulties that oil service companies face in uncertain markets. It's a tale of American business history, of risk-taking, entrepreneurship and business development by a company that thrived with visionary, careful and hard-working leadership."--Jacket.
