Better start putting a cross of lamb's blood on your door every Friday morning to ward off the back cloud of death that will be passing through the halls. It works. I have it on good authority.

Saw a lot more closed doors today. I have a feeling it could go down tomorrow.

How's everything up north of the border? All the fly in fly outs cant be worth the $ is it?

Devon has been raped and pillaged by contractors over the last few years. It is now obvious the company was paying higher prices for the same services other companies were receiving for much less. Some Devon people were likely complicit in this. I... — read more

It is happening to every oil company. Devon will be laying off 53% of its workforce in Oklahoma City. I'm not sure how many people that will translate to, but the number i heard was 2300. They have to make a transition plan of some kind. Look for the... — read more
