Nomen Omen (Epic Fail in Marketing Branding!!!)

News: Weatherford Launches Victus™ Intelligent Managed Pressure Drilling.

Victus, really?? Too bad that a potential superior product is jeopardized with such a poor naming, entering straight into the Epic Fail hall of fame!)

I guess the Marketing dept did not google well enough before placing the TM.

(Latin) Victus, Perfect passive participle of vincō (to win)

victus = conquered, subdued, having been conquered.

This is what happens when you venture into a language you dont know. Stick to Texan please.

i guess they meant "Victus = Nourishment, Food"

MPD Victus, bring food to Weatherford

MPD Victus, the food for the starving.

MPD Victus, the food for your well, stop drinking mud losses
