That may be good news.
But my experience working under BP not with BP, is they are aggressively cutting everywhere they can. 10K jobs between employees and contractors.
Trust me bro. I have seen it with my eyes and they are asking contractors who they can cut so they can "remote in" on oil rigs.
Dont know where it is going. But the Drill baby drill, everyone in oil and gas was expecting a huge rebound year in 26, but it aint looking like that.
Looking like the opposite.

I wonder if she will put good use of those BP facilities off of US 90 in Houma.
Have they scrapped those crap centrifuges BP purchased from Kevin Costner to shut him up? They paid 3X what a quality centrifuge cost and Costner finally got back his initial investment. They never worked in industrial applications and well known among centrifuge experts as being junk

Easier said than done.
Guyana is a complete game changer and those don't come around every year or decade.
The conversation in 2019/20 was that the best days of Exxon were behind them.

I was in Houston in 2018 to look at a refinery which had been dismantled shipped to Houston and refurbished. We stayed in Baytown due the laydown yard was on the east side of Houston. The hotel had several major offshore service company reps meeting with Exxon for Guyana, it was the closest hotel they could find to Exxon's downtown offices. They were all talking about how offshore was actually booming, just not in the Gulf of America.
If you look at the assays of offshore Guyana oil available, it is very high quality crude oil. Wayyyyy TF better tha anything produce onshore USA

Hey, baw, that onshore USA oil is keeping a roof over our heads, feeding my family, paying for the kids' college, helping me pay the monthly note on my huge truck nuts and gonna pay for crawfish boils in the Spring. Put some respek on its name.

Whenever I see BP mentioned, I think of the Deepwater Horizon and the Marky Mark movie based on it. Which then makes me think of John Malkovich with his terrible accent and this line:
It was as bad as Dan Aykroyd in that McCauley Collin movie.
Lewis Grizzard had a hilarious take on it.

In America we say “bottle of water”
British people say “Bottah O Wawa guvnor’

Why would a company called British Petroleum not be in the oil and gas game?
For almost a decade, they used "Beyond Petroleum" in their ads.

Some of it was coming to Baton Rouge and Richmond CA but almost all is going to Europe now. If all come to the USA it still would not be more than a drop in the bucket of what is required.
It cannot replace heavy and very heavy crude which we don't have very much of here. There is just enough of heavy for Hunt's refineries in Mississippi and Alabama good for making asphalt

Same. I don't want to have to subscribe to another streaming platform just to watch it .
