CLB—Some of the measurement techniques are extremely primitive so the only way i think anyone could make money on those measurements is thru volume.

Well, we know from CLB’s financial statements that the business has high margins. In 3Q12, the operating margin in the Reservoir Description segment was 30% and the operating margin in the Production Enhancement segment was 31% (#msg-80740915). The overall operating margin in 3Q12 was 30%.

This is not what I would call a volume-oriented business.
