That would be correct, my friend tells me he pays a little more than he would in uk. I hope your job is safe?

Really missile, really? You do crack me up.

Wtf is your problem? Times are tough for those of us employed in the oil industry and many jobs are under threat. I am expressing concern to OP.

Although the oil price is beginning to creep up again and with Putin threatening to cut off gas supplies via Ukraine (40% of Europe's total needs) and Iran starting to make new aggressive noises - then prices will soon be back to where they were and the need for new exploration and exploitation will increase.

Although, if you fancy a change of scenery and climate, I notice that new deep water exploration blocks have been released off the coast of Equatorial Guinea.

We have been there before and I am sure things will improve. I have served my time offshore and prefer to keep my feet on terra firma!!! 😜

Ah, I didn't get that it was out of concern that you'd asked. My mistake.

I was once a service provider to oil companies and remember the 10 dollar a barrel days in the 90s, when I was suddenly told to take 20% off my service charge by one company. Knee jerk reactions still the norm then.
