Good to see actual real employees doing their jobs in oil companies instead of the bloated HR, diversity and bullshite climate change worthless desk donkeys that have infiltrated our corporations
It’s been my experience that those who are actually responsible for the planning and execution of real operations pay very little, if any, attention to that side bullshite that doesn’t produce a single profitable commodity.

Tangent time:
I brought our new "Sustainability Engineer" (she isn't an engineer) on a rig tour this week. She had never been on a rig, despite working in O&G for several years.
She sets ESG initiatives for the company, that these men have to follow, often making their jobs more expensive and hindering their targets.
They were nice and accommodating to her, despite the fact that she knew so little about the actual operations that she couldn't even ask relevant questions.
When we got back in my truck to leave, her first comment was "You know, there seems to be a bit of a disconnect between Corporate and field operations."
I just chuckled "Yeah. A bit."

This wasn't directly oil field but same type of people
I just had a meeting at a job site that was one of the more impressive new locations i've seen but it is still under construction
One of the owning partners (~70 years old ex armed forces no doubt) met with me to go over a relatively small part of the operations. Going to needed daily but more a necessary evil than a profit generator. Something that i usually meet with an Ops manager to go over, especially at a company with this amount of money.
We met in a trailer that looked like he has been living in it. He is smoking a cig, with a loaded pistol in his lap. Not a gun guy, but didn't look cheap. He proceeds to accurately tell me everything I need to do. Almost word for word what i was about to tell him. Hands me a copy of the US constitution before proudly showing me the facility and sending me on with my day
