Excessive cuts to budgets have caused us to pull the plug on major infustructure repairs. DHSC KNOWS but only cares about their bonus. They continue to modify budgets just to look good to Dallas. Expect a major event to be blamed on contractors. Stay tuned you heard it here first.

Solomon study was definitely pencil whipped. Managers forced to make Baytown seem BEST EVER , give me a break!
All those stupid Baytown proud expenses are tone deaf when we are cutting people and cut back on stock match, heck, even quit buying disposable cups!
Look no further than the VP running the Global refinery show and the previous butt kissing, kick the maintenance can down the road Refinery Managers.
Let the weather take care of BT.
The lead and mercury going down 60 yards into the alluvial soil will give away.
A yard-berg into GOM and bigger 3-eyed redfish around the stacks.
In other words, time to leave Baytown behind.
Baytown management lied on all solomon studies to make them look better than they are. Lied about Financials. Management is scum. Benchmarking to fake numbers hurts everyone.
Typical kick the can down the road where your maintenance budget looks good for when you change jobs in 18 months and leave the next person having to deal with it and hoping they can pass the hot potato off to the next person.
I thought that Baytown was the Flagship of the US downstream operations.
Haha deleted my comment again on temporary onstream repairs (HT’s and Stopples). Anyone know why?
Someone complaining who can't spell infrastructure correctly. What has the world come to !
5* facilities @ Spring!
Baytown is a dump. It's literally falling apart now and I'm stuck out here. Can't even use a bathroom, shower, wash hands, or anything. Everyone is stacked on top of each other with no guidance from above. A disaster.
What's wrong with Quick fixes to the next TA Cycle versus correct repair to last many? Business decision that is understandably acceptable.
@OP - have you ever own a business?
@spb+19rgUudy The issue with getting rid of support is the engineers focused on the day to day will have to take their responsibilities on. Reducing the number can be done, but getting rid of all is dangerous.
A lot of the items discovered in the fuels south TA have had a lot of shoddy patchwork and quick fixes vs repairing the correct way. The management over the areas are delusional
Worked in a XOM facility where there were so many clamps on piping it was unreal.
XOM , RDS and others say that they are safer than BP. The reality is their luck has not run out yet.
They are playing with people's lives and they don't give a fu@/
What do you think of keeping support engineers in Spring that make a lot of $ (do they deliver value) but cut budgets for infrastructure? Does it make sense?
