Rumors are buzzing all around the company. Unfortunately since leadership hasn’t communicated much people are making things up. I suggest you don’t spread rumors until we have facts in official communications.

@zz holding flat 8 mbd for 15 years? How many wells are there. What does the Spar make. Exactly. Economics may be good (but look at all the catastrophic well failures … MD13 comes to mind). They’d be a helluva lot better if wells could execute the first or even second time around
@z4 why don’t you explain the economics to us? If it’s not good, i see nothing but positive overall production in GoA.
@y6 explain the SFM then if it was all in the original economics?
Exactly.
People like this are why I have no problem with bottom 10% getting the boot. Too many low IQ waste has sat around for years due to BP’s fear of firing anyone outside of a restructure cycle.
Tell me you don’t know spar production without telling me you don’t know spar production
@xd The md spar has very limited capability for drilling, it’s much cheaper as a Simops. MD spar wells are about 1 every year and a half, but one well completed makes so much production, they don’t deplete as fast either. So everyone understand the risk reward balance on the spar, and the npv is outstanding overall. Just assuming 100s of millions of dollars lost is not factual. Sidetracks are part and parcel of drilling and is accounted for in the npv. Just bs with hearsay is not the point. A typical spar well at average of 8 mbd for 15+ years, do the math per well.
@r2 All those advisors and specialists and they had to sidetrack the MD well twice and then had to fish the tool. They had to do 3 sidetracks on another MD well a few years ago before abandoning at a cost of hundreds of millions.
@r2 where are you getting this from? Makes no sense esp for wells central teams. We have 25+ advisors, 3 in just fluids teams with a population of 20+ specialists. What will the specialists do without the advisors and senior advisor. We have well control, barrier, tubular design, frac, mpd, completion, drilling, well placement advisors that all the specialists depend on for advice. How will ops progress if not for the advisors or senior advisors?
@md they already got rid of most if not all sr advisors and advisors. I’m guessing chief & principal engineers next.
@nw that’s the bp circle of life.
@jv most central roles will disappear, but in few years they'll tell us we're working in silos and need central teams to share best practice and increase efficiency. You couldn't make this up.
All the favourites of the current vp will stay.
What's going to happen to all the chief engineers, senior advisors, advisors and subject matter experts.
@a8 I wonder why. LOL.
In Upstream: Majority Central Roles especially with Discipline Lead in title to go.
Only Central people who are dedicated 80%+ to one Region will remain.
@OP no thanks.
@a8 they know things and their silence is rewarded with promotions and artificial exaltation
None of the rumors are true. There’s nothing to see here. Move along.
AD and LJP survive and flourish…everyone else sweats
