We all know the oil companies will be severely impacted by the moritorium. What other types of companies will be affected. I will start the list:

1. Supply boats
2. Helicopter supply companies
3. Drilling fluid companies (though they made a fortune during the "top kill" attempt.

When gas prices go up as a result of the moratorium, every company and ultimately every person in this country will be affected. Whether you use oil or not, prices of most goods will increase if fuel goes up.

The question is, what will the net job increase/decrease be? Will the increase in clean up jobs surpass the number of lost production jobs? However, there will be a gap between the end of clean up and the resume of production.

I work in exploration and I can say, we aren't losing any business over this. Companies are simply moving resources to international waters or overseas. I do feel bad because I am sure we all know someone or is that someone that works in production. If its any help, we are hiring for our crews (28/28).
