Chesapeake continues activity with Statoil deal

This is great news. If people can hang in there on the gas business, then the prospects are going to be fairly bright, especially with the tough political environment surrounding coal. BTW, I work for Chesapeake in Fort Worth and this just ensured a merry Christmas for a lot of folks in terms of job security.

It is all okay, I am still employed. I was just trying to get away from offshore.

TigerFanatic!:

Years back, I had some friends that paid their dues offshore. And since you wanna work onshore and not off, I guess what I heard about Chevron won't help you much. But anyway, I spoke to someone a few days ago, and it seems as though a relative of his is working for Chevron offshore. I think he said 14/14. Anyway, I don't know what the guy did or at what capacity he worked, but the word was he was making very good money (of course) and loved his job but would be retiring soon. And in these exceptional bad financial times, a good job with good money is hard to come by. Any savvy financial advisor would seriously hit you on the side of your head if you even were thinking about quitting a job these days, unless you had another job in the bag.
