Here it goes:
- invest in exploration: bring back an investmant in explration and start snapping up tier ii and tier iii acrage as industry operators peel off lower grade acrage to pay off det. we need to grow to keep from dyeing. everyone else has leveled up but us. we are getting left behind relative to exxon minus chevron minus conoco minus diamondback minus etc.
- stop wasting money on green optics: stop spending money on bs emissions a green energy optics. looks like we are starting to fix this but keep going
- remove reserves manager: remove the reserves and subsurface manager and their family members from prominent leadership positions and put them out to pastur or mute their influence
- promote better people: look around at people who have been here a while and start promoting better people and elevate their voices
- increase pay: give everyone a 10% pay increase to catch up with industry standerds
- admit reserve issues: come clean about over estimated reserves estimates and over estimated running room. bpx is lucky if they have five years left. that's the truth. the hammer is going to drop at some point and the truth will come out
- fix land team leadership: revamp the leadership on the land team in permian and upgrade the manager there with a more qualified person who isn't a gossip. she caters to the reserves manager and they have a little mean girls clique going
- replace bad engineering manager: the engineering manager on the subsurface technology team is garbage. time for better leadership there. the recent move of the permian head over to that team was a mistake too. she needs to go. she has a bad atitude and she has a bias against the male gender. there is a large lawsuit waiting if people had the hr data i know about her
- bring back benefits: start giving benefits back like bp balance and fridays off. our benefits suk
- move bpx to houston: bring bpx back to houston so the larger bp arm can get a better pulse on the reality of bpx. i'd gladly move back to houston. there is no reason to have this office in denver. move us back and stop wasting money
- create clear career paths: put a clear career progression plan in place for people to follow and give people exposure who deserve it instead of your favorite buddys. good people can't get ahead here. why do you think turnover is so high? so many of our best have gone to greener pasturs
- stop using esps: move away from esps and do gas lift
- streamline afe reviews: change the afe review process. its redundant and very time consuming. its inefficient and a waste of engineering time
- bring in new talent: if we want to attract top talent then you need to gut this place fast and bring in new blood. the people who have been here at least 10 years now are fairly decent but the crew that came in about 6 years ago need to be flushed down the toilet
- lower well costs: we pay entirely too much on well cost. revisit that. complete a bidding process and bring in more vendors to drive cost down and increase returns
- improve industry reputation: bpx needs to engage the industry more and work on our reputation. we are not respected nor are we taken serious
- define company identity: Bpx and Bp needs to find itself and give a clear message to the industry about who we really are. we've lost our way and we've lost our identity and momentum. morale cannot be lower...
