It was a long time coming - and the first lady took a hit for Gorgon - with Melody Meyer leaving CVX to pursue other opportunities!. Finally it is time to send expatriate executives packing home with the rest of us who got repatriated last year, for failing to use stop work authority to prevent mismanagement - when there was ample time and sufficient reason to do so... at least those of us who had out eyes open.
Watson said Gorgon will produce first quarter/soon - or something like that. He sure is bad at predicting - also said oil prices would not go below 55 USD and "he should know"!!.
Having spent 2 years in ABU - I can only guess our buddies down under ain't realized fully yet, how bad their future will get after Watson has to admit why Gorgon did not come online in the 1st quarter and explain why. and "this he sure should have known"!!. There must be a few more expats planning their opportunistic pursuits elsewhere.
Stateside, even with BigFoot fiasco still under review... it is fairly certain to quote Yogi Berra : "we made too many wrong mistakes" and it is time to look for other opportunities because 'The future just aint what it used to be'
