A bbl of US oil is more profitable to these companies than any other bbl in the world.
American resources should be exploited for the benefit of Americans. We could raise the royalty rate, but that would only affect new leases. We should exclude expensing of any money spent outside the USA.
You want to make half your free cash from the GOA, use American workers to build your facilities with American steel in American fab yards.

India is the next China as far as off shoring jobs.
They’re both corrupt, but the Chinese are a lot smarter, and vastly more capable. China is a functional country, India is not.
This won’t end well for the Western companies that offshore to India

I am in the industry….the Indians are good if you provide tremendous oversight and guard rails.
The oversight and safeguards in place may work for companies like Chevron or XOM, which have a history of strong policies, well-defined processes, and solid governance. However, this will likely be a problem for BP. BP has struggled with discipline, process, and governance in the past. BP operates in an environment of chaos, constant change, and a culture where employees routinely operate outside established lines. This lack of structure is a fundamental reason BP has experienced so many significant incidents over the years and has not learned from these mistakes.

Nothing like working with "hub" engineering teams in India. Their amazing ignorance is only surpassed by their vast arrogance.

I've completed a couple of projects with an Elliot owned compressor company. Arrogant, ignorant fvcks caused the project to exceed the cycle time by 8 months. Worthless organization.

Where does Chevron/BP fuel end up outside of their branded stations? I never stop at either of those because I can’t stand going to “independently owned” gas stations.

Well we certainly don’t have enough homegrown engineers here anymore.
WTF!?!? It’s best not to speak of you have zero idea what you’re talking about dumbass.
We probably have the highest amount of unemployed engineers we’ve ever had. Not just in tech but in all fields because of H1B and the other visas used to manipulate this bullshite.
And our engineers are light years beyond the dot heads especially with most of their universities being fake degree mills.

You have to remember...most Indian engineers never leave their cubicle. No field work, no in plant mentoring. Unless they have diligent oversight, they try and reinvent the wheel...every fvcking time.
The most frustrating projects that I have is when they are involved.

I actually showed this moron where he was wrong by siting equation and text from the most relevant handbook on the topic.
He said it must be wrong. I laughed and walked out of the conference room and grabbed his American boss as I was leaving....told him I will never work on any of their projects again.
We were their only western supplier left.
This is a serious problem.

This guy knows what he’s talking about. Which lawsuit were you a part of?

Sounds like a lot of unproductive and overpriced labor at Chevron and BP... Where are all those no sympathy for layoff folks?
And the folks that love capitalism and free markets. Seeing ideas like taxing businesses more for being global and using the most cost effective labor. Watching people advocate for government interference or penalties to the market place is pretty revealing how much nationalism and socialism go hand in hand.

One of the majors is a customer. I recently spent weeks with their U.S. managers and the foreign IT team attempting to debug one of my programs. The IT team were quick to dismiss the issue as a vendor (me) problem. After hundreds of lost man-hours, turns out it was a time zone issue between their US and foreign servers, nothing to do with my program.
Of course this type of thing doesn't get reported through management to our executives. They are in the process of outsourcing our IT department to India too.

Working with Indian engineers is horrible. There is nothing good to say about it.
I dealt with an Indian firm here stateside. The only firm I know that works 60-70 hour weeks for 70k. Thats why it's an Indian firm. Then they outsource a bunch of their work to India anyway
