OP
Nice reference!
Bios of Oxy / ex-Oxy(?) cronies on WES BOD illuminate why Oxy was in trouble before APC and why the merger was ridiculous.
GV (aka Hawaiian Shirt Clown): BS in Chemical & Process Engineering from Colorado School of Mines. Nice school, not a real engineering degree.
Micheal P. Ure (one of the APC M&A initiators): Bachelor Accounting (school) then MBA Univ of Chicago.
Oscar K. Brown (one of the APC M&A initiators): Bachelor of Business Accounting, Finance & Marketing, UT Austin.
Peter J. Bennett (#MrBlueSkies and big f*bber about Permian UC wells): Bachelor of Business Accounting LSU then MBA
Pepperdine Univ.
Commonality of all of them? All were/are big self- promoters with accounting, finance and marketing backgrounds. Just like the Enron dudes in 2001, they thought they would get away with their big l* es to enrich themselves. And they’re still at it!
