Won't the letter have a "Schlumberger Confidential" watermark on it anyway? I know my letter of assignments do. I was going to use it for job hunting but then saw the marks and figured they could technically make a big deal out of it in the extremely unlikely chance they choice too.

I don't see anything odd from the post here. I had several promotions, but never hoarded the letters and performance reviews.
It seems a bit odd that you would lose a promotion letter, but I would suggest approaching your previous direct manager who signed off on the promotion initially.
If someone is worried about not having performance reviews then they are something you should download periodically and retain in a 'safe' place.
Why don't use send an e-mail to the head of SETC? She has been known for not doing any real work, but maybe she will try to be helpful this time.

From personal experience, I will suggest approaching your manager first, and HR as a last resort. When I was asked by an employer for past performance reviews, HR refused to provide it, but thankfully my manager sent those to me. In short, SLB HR seems not to be of any help even for genuine requests.
I have a promise of promotion from previous manager, then he get laid off. I want to know how i can get that promise ???. They have the upper hand to change the game rule in second
I think they should.
HR! Give him some help! Try to be useful at least once in awhile!
It's possible that HR would be kind enough to get you a copy of the letter, but i doubt it. However, if you approach it as requesting a Verification of Employment type of letter, HR might comply even if you are not with the company. If you ask them to state your dates of employment, job title, etc. and "remind" them that you were senior something, it might work. You could even follow up with one letter asking them to correct the details if they don't include it the first time.
But, if you really were senior, don't hesitate to include it in your resume or state it if asked.
