James Martin Robertson

I was deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Jim. Jim's dedication to his career at SLB for over 30 years, where he held various positions globally, is a testament to his hard work and commitment. Anybody who have been working in D&M business line maintenance would know Jim as a great person. His presence will be sorely missed by his colleagues and friends. Please accept my heartfelt condolences. RIP Jim. With deepest sympathy...

I will remember Jim most for his signature grin and warm personality. We bonded over soccer and goalkeeping, and I always thought so highly of Jim. You could tell just how much positive impact he had on others based on how they reacted to him. Taken away far too soon. I do know it will be a long long time before your impact has faded. Rest in peace, Jim.

Jim
What to say that hast been said already. Quite simply one of the good guys. I'll always a remember one of the golf outings at Stonehaven when Jim was playing less than good :-)

What a laugh.

RIP mate.

Jim was the personification of TLM and Maintenance values, if you think Maintenance you think of Jim. The calm and sense of humour that Jim had in all situations will be remembered. I have had several interactions and guidance from Jim throughout my SLB journey, I am grateful that I knew Jim and worked with him. My deep condolences to his family and friends, and may his soul rest in peace. Thank you Jim

Jim, I still can’t believe you’re no longer with us. You’ve been missed so much already.

Thank you for all the support and guidance since we first met 18 years ago. You were a great friend and truly one of a kind, always a laugh to have a chat with and share a beer or two.

Thanks for the great memories—we will cherish them forever. My condolences go out to your family and loved ones.

RIP my friend Jim.

Deepest condolences to the family. Jim will be sorely missed. May you RIP.

It still feels unreal that Jim is no longer with us. His passing has left a void that words can hardly fill.

Jim had a remarkable gift for diffusing tension with just the right words and an easy sense of humor that could instantly lift a room. He was unfailingly kind, always looking out for others—supporting, encouraging, and helping them grow.

His office was just across from mine, and I’ll deeply miss the full-throated, animated discussions we shared across the aisle. Working with Jim and tackling problems together was a joy and a privilege.

I will miss you dearly, my friend. But I will forever cherish the memories and the many moments of laughter, insight, and camaraderie we shared.

May God grant strength and comfort to his family, especially his beloved daughters—the apples of his eye—as they navigate this profound loss.

To my big cuz,
Life will simply never quite be the same without you in it. You leave a big hole in our lives and our hearts and we will miss you immensely. Thank you for always looking out for me, for being a comfort and offering a guiding hand when needed. We'll miss your presence at family gatherings but well never forget your smile and big laugh and how you could bring fun and laughter into a room, simply by being there.
I'll miss you always. Rest in peace James xxx

I always remember the day when I first met Jim when arrived in Aberdeen airport, how friendly and generous was Jim. He stood for me whenever required support and to release stress. Jim still took time to listen and guided the way even when he was ill. Missing a good friend, mentor and manager.

Thank you, Jim, for everything and my deepest Condolences to the entire family.

I got to know Jim when I transferred from Houston to Aberdeen in 2018. Jim was my direct manager and he was the coolest manager one could ask for. He always had a mischievous sparkle in his eyes. Once you got to know Jim, you soon realized that jokes and banter aside, he was a very kind and compassionate person who genuinely cared for people. I will forever miss our chats about Aberdeen, family, work, golf and everything in between!
May his soul rest in peace!

Jim

Thanks for being such a great friend and colleague for the last 25 years.

RIP Jim and thanks for all the great times we had together.

Jim my friend, I count myself fortunate that I had the pleasure of working with you in Sakhalin and in Houston. We would always have great discussions on many topics and I always knew the decisions made were better because you were involved. You always joked that during our important meetings I sat next to you so I could kick you under the table in case you were saying something wrong. In reality I just enjoyed your company (and yes sometimes needed to kick you).

Thanks for all the great memories during our travels and of course on the golf course when despite the score we would always have fun, often at the expense of one another. I am sure you are in a better place now with good company, amazing golf and making people’s time just that little bit better.

RIP Jim and thank you for being such a great friend.

Jim was the first person I met when I arrived in Scotland, and he welcomed me with open arms. He believed in me and gave me a chance to grow, both professionally and personally. Throughout the years, he never stopped guiding me—always ready with advice, support, and encouragement. Even during his illness, Jim still made time to listen, to care, and to point me in the right direction.

I will never forget his kindness, wisdom, and unwavering support. Thank you, Jim, for everything. My deepest condolences to the entire family.

Jim,

Was a pleasure have the opportunity to work with someone that always inspired us to learn more and do our best. A good mentor and good friend that will be missed. Rest in peace chief!

Jim, you are very much missed. It was a pleasure knowing and working with you, your clear vision and extensive experience. Your stubbornness but also willingness to listen and enjoy a passionate discussion, always with a smile and good banter.

Dear Jim,

You will be truly missed.

You will be always remember for the excellent knowledge, supportive attitude and unwavering willingness to help will always be remembered.

Rest in peace

Dear Jim,

Since we first meet in Youngsville you have always been a source of inspiration. You will be missed.

Josto

Dear Jim,
May your soul rest in peace. Your kindness, warmth, and legacy will live on in our hearts. It was a tremendous honor to have met and worked with you. You will be deeply missed.
Sending love, thoughts, and prayers to your family and loved ones.

Dear Jim,

You will be missed. Your sharp mind, humor and spirit made a lasting impact on everyone who had the privilege of working with you. From Youngsville to Houston, you brought people together and your Scottish charm always brightened the room; you were always there to coach, listen and collaborate.

Our thoughts are with his family and loved ones.

Dear Jim,
your smile, determination and kind hearth will be missed. RIP my dear friend. Alen Corak

Jim, you will be missed! May your kind soul rest in peace.

It is with great sadness that we bid Jim farewell. My deepest sympathies to his family & closest friends.

I have known Jim for a few years in Houston. He was a wonderful mentor and a great source of wisdom.

As it was highlighted by his closest colleagues, his legacy is living on, and in challenging times, we will keep seeking his advice, asking ourselves: "what would Jim do in this situation?".

Jim, you will be deeply missed by so many. You leave behind an irreplaceable void in our hearts.

Throughout my career, you were the mentor who was always there—with clarity, honesty, and unwavering support. In the most challenging times, your guidance was precise, your words uplifting, and your humor a light that reminded us we could face anything.

I can’t recall a single hard moment when your presence didn’t make things better. Thank you for everything, my friend. And for what it's worth—I still owe you that beer on the other side.

Deepest condolences to his family and friends.
It was a pleasure working with Jim in 2024. Nothing but great interactions with him in which he shared wisdom, provided support and threw in some good ol’ humor. Be at peace, you shall be missed.

“I feel we had meet since long time ago, I don’t know why, because we just met short ago” he said one day that was being difficult. I felt exactly the same, amigo. It was a pleasure and a bless to have you crossing my road. Just to remember you every time I cook, there is now Jim’s steak in the menu.

Jim, we are sad because we lost you, but rest assured that you will be missed. Rest in peace ✝️

Jim, you ll be missed! May your kind soul rest in peace

You ll be missed Jim, may your soul rest in peace

Deeply saddened to hear of Jim's demise, a valued colleague and kind and generous person who brightened our workplace. May we find peace and strength in the memories we shared with him. I first met Jim, in Russia circa 2009-2010, and then been in touch since.

Sharing a memory with Jim in this picture, taken when he accompanied me to an Audit to our TLM facility in North- East India, seldom visited due to remoteness. This is us being felicitated as guests by the hosts with the stole gifted to us.

Rest in peace Jim, you are sorely missed!

Regards,
Mario

James was a guy I have not physically seen in years, many years, but I would like to say that James and myself and a few others was so close and great friends in primary school, and early years of secondary school.
When I got told by another great school friend Hamish of the passing of James my heart sank and so many emotions came out and Hamish and myself spoke for some time remembering the great times we had as kids, we were really tight as friends growing up in Cruden Bay.
Please see a pic of our tight group in 1981
Always Remembered and never Forgotton James

In Memory of Jim Robertson

I first met Jim Robertson in 2007, when I was cross-training into D&M. He was my instructor at the Sugar Land Learning Center. Jim had a way of making difficult things simple, serious moments lighter, and complex systems feel manageable — always with his quiet confidence and that perfectly dry Scottish humor that stayed with you long after class ended.

In 2015, when I returned to D&M after some time away, Jim was the D&M Maintenance Manager for NGC in Lafayette. He gave me a warm welcome, walked me through the base, and reminded me once again how calm, capable, and grounded he was — no matter the pressure.

From 2018 through early 2023, Jim and I worked together in D&M TLM HQ — and those years included some of the most challenging times any of us have lived through. Through the uncertainty and isolation of COVID, Jim was an anchor. I could always come to him for advice, no matter how difficult the situation. He would listen, reflect, and respond with clarity, kindness, and unwavering reliability. You could count on him — always.

Together we traveled the world: to maintenance bases across North and South America, Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and Africa. In every country, on every team, Jim made people feel supported. He didn’t lead with volume — he led with depth. He brought knowledge, humor, and a quiet strength that made the people around him better.

Jim was also proudly Scottish. He carried that pride with grace — in the way he spoke, worked, and stood firm in what mattered. He was a colleague, a companion, and, in many ways, the heart of the team.

To Jim’s parents, daughters, his family, and all who loved him — please know how deeply respected and valued he was by his colleagues across the globe. His wisdom, humor, and steady presence are already missed — and will be for a long time.

Thank you, Jim. For everything. It was an honor to walk alongside you.

Jim was a wonderful person! I first met him back in 2007 and since that I always loved communicate with him.
We worked sometime together in Tyumen and Sakhalin and kept intouch through the years.
I'm very sorry for the loss and wish his family strength - he enlightened some many lives and may he rest in piece!

I was working with Jim hand in hand for the past 3 years. He was one of the few people in my whole life with whom I can communicate without a single word, just by eyes and signs.

His sense of humor was fantastic, and I was enjoying the times we were making fine-spun jokes!

I am proud that I was working with him and inherit his vision, broad mindset and ambitions, which will stay with me forever. I hope, that as a friend I gave him as much support as possible.

Jim! Be happy and peaceful wherever you are...

Deeply sorry to hear the news of Jim passing, a truly inspiring leader who influenced so many careers around the world. Always having the time to listen, mentor and share stories from his travels and experiences!

Gone but never forgotten, RIP Jim

I was surprised and saddened to hear of Jim's passing. We met in 2003 in Balikpapan Indonesia. This was my first overseas assignment for SLB and Jim provided a lot of assistance and made me feel very welcome. You are missed Jim!

It was incredibly sad to learn of Jim's passing. Jim is a guy who had universal respect and a part of me will always look up to him. Sincerest condolences to Jim's family, friends and daughters.

Rest easy chief.

I am deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Jim. He was an exceptional mentor, a true leader, and a gentleman. His guidance and leadership were invaluable to me personally, and his kindness and integrity left a lasting impact on all of us.
My thoughts are with you and your family, Rest in peace James!

I had the pleasure of spending quite a bit of time with Jim during our time in Russia. He had a fantastic sense of humour and always cared for his team. We’re all better for having known Jim.

Deeply saddened by this loss. he was not only an excellent leader and mentor, but also a very honest human being and friend. Our prayers and thoughts are with him and his family.

May his soul rest in peace.

Master

More than a manager, more than a colleague, more than a mentor...... A true friend.

Your heartfelt warmth, humour and smile will be missed by us all.

Fly high Jim.

So sad to be writing this. What started out in Aberdeen became a global tour and fantastic friendship. So many places, stories, laughs and memories. My heartfelt condolences to the family and Jim's daughters, Alyssa, Alanah and Jasmine.

One of the good guys taken far too soon. RIP mate.

Jim a last farewell from the SCA team, you are surely missed , rest in peace

Jim's gone. How could it be? What a great guy.
I know people from all over the world. Jim's top of the list, for sure.
RIP Jim

Hi Jim,

Thanks for the good times at work and outside, for all you taught me, especially to always look at the positive side of things, and thanks for always wearing your contagious smile.

We never managed to have that pint since I moved to Houston, so I cheer to you. Fly high, you'll be missed!

Jim was not just a manager during our time in Sakhalin; he was a mentor and a friend. Jim had a unique way of pushing me out of my comfort zone, encouraging me to work with tools rather than just sit in front of a computer.

His sense of humor was unmatched; every promotion we had a call - "Hola. Got a real job now?". When Jim was assigned as the TLM manager, he called me and asked, "Do you know who the new TLM manager will be?" Without missing a beat, I hit him, "Got a real job now?"

Our outings to Indian restaurants, where he would order the spiciest food for me and laugh as I struggled, are moments I will never forget.

Jim was a fantastic person with immense intellect and a heart full of kindness. I am deeply sorry for the family's loss.

I will always fondly recall our time spent on the golf course and in the Learning Center. He knew that I had a fondness for Cruden Bay...we never got to spend that time there but I will remember him every time I get out there. RIP my friend.

Jim was just a wonderful person to be around.
Happy and a great sense of humor.
He will be missed and remembered

I will never forget Jim. He is not just a good leader but he is always there to guide you and support you. He never forgets and from time to time, even he is on HQ already, he reaches out to say Hi and give very good advise in life and at work. It is very sad that Jim left us too soon. Thank you so much Jim for everything. Condolences to all the family. We are lucky to met Jim in our lives. Rest in peace Jim.

Great guy and a pleasure knowing him
Easy going personality and always available for a chat
I'm sorry for the families loss

Met Jim at an award ceremony years ago and he totally made me feel at ease
He was one of the nicest guys i have had the pleasure in meeting.
Im very sorry for the families loss

Jim was always available for a laugh and a round (golf, pints, or both) but much more importantly was always someone you could trust. In a world that could so easily be driven by self-preservation, he was always willing to freely share his thoughts or help you work through an idea while it was only halfway formed. Every room was better for having him in it.

I am very proud to have called Jim a friend, and he will be sorely missed.

Left us to soon Jim. Will miss your stories, humour and presence around the links.

May you rest in peace.

I am sad to hear about the passing of Jim. Last year, I had the privilege of meeting him in Pune, and from the moment we met, I felt an immediate connection, as if reuniting with an old friend. Jim's humble and caring nature left a lasting impression on me. He will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.

I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to work with and know Jim. He was someone that was a pleasure to be around, who I have looked up to and often sought guidance from throughout the years.
Jim touched the lives of so many people, including mine; and I will miss him dearly.

My deepest condolences to his family. Thank you for sharing him with us, and may he rest in peace.

I was deeply saddened to hear about Jim's passing. It’s hard to put into words how much your presence meant to all of us. You always brought such a joyful spirit and a great sense of humor to the workplace, and your positivity was truly contagious.

Your kindness, laughter, and unwavering good humor will be dearly missed. My sincere condolences to the entire family, please know that my thoughts are with your during this difficult time.

Wishing you peace and comfort, and remembering the wonderful person you were.

Gone too soon, Jim. Your kindness and laughter will always be remembered. Your brought light and positivity to our workplace. Rest in peace. Your memory will live on in all who had the joy of knowing you.

Anyone who's ever met Jim, even briefly, knows his loss is exceptional. He was kind, helpful, and genuine in all his interactions, whether brief encounters or long-term mentoring.

We'll miss you Jim, and see your reminders and smile every day we work or golf!

You left us too soon, Jim. You are ahead of us, and we will miss you dearly. Thank you for your kindness. Rest in peace, amigo
