Indeed @hpk+1vRldeEW bp did a good job of holding this off because to some extent you need to have some kind of footprint in countries where you have assets. But I guess there will be a race to offshoring between the companies with each round of cost cuts to the point where there will be limited footprint in the expensive centres Houston, Sunbury etc. will be interesting to see what the govts make of that..a lot of talk about sustainability and wellbeing but what happened to economic responsibility?? does it just have to be about maximising profits!
