Does Oxy have any assets on Lake America?

Rumor from IMAGE conference last week via Chevron personnel.

I don't know what happened, but the culture seems to have shifted. My manager went from being one of those horrible micromanagers to minding his own business, we backfilled two positions which made everything so much easer on all of us, and there has... — read more

Employees are doubled in places after the hilcorp thing. Why?

It is tough out here finding a new job. If you have one with benefits and good pay try to make it work. It will get better some day, but it is really bad right now. I have been looking for a while after leaving Oxy and the whole job situation has... — read more 

So, anyone think Oxy’s Oman business is at risk because Oman is getting closer to Iran.

It’s blatantly clear that Oxy has all the hallmarks of a Marathon, Hess, Pioneer. Oxy has had a great run but has adopted practices and directives typically seen when a company is about to be absorbed and consolidated. Realize that there are Going... — read more 

There are a lot of murmurs at the C suite about direction of oil & gas and specifically Oxy’s place in that space. Its evident that the Anadarko purchase poorly positioned OXY as a specialist player (Top onshore, EOR and ME partner of choice) and... — read more 

Any updates on the technical bonus for Engineers and Geos that was sent out last month? Interested in what percentages people are getting and how its being rolled out. Will there be a match to 401k?

Back to normal Oxy team! Expect new leadership to create a new initiative with all the cute buzz words.

I wish her the best and appreciate what she did for all us employees during Covid and the tough times we went through. She could have laid off many of us, and most kept their jobs, or took a generous VSP. I say this as an employee and not an... — read more 

Congrats on the Exxon farmin. Offsets APC Guyana acreage that has been in force majeure for years . Also remember it had a high gas risk associated with it.

Eventually top tier locations will be reduced and reserve replacement will become a priority. Probability that Oxy merges with another company in the next 2 years

This is the first time since coming to Oxy 10 years ago that I have really convinced myself that we are actively trying to get bought. Between the aggressive debt reduction, new CEO, divestiture of non core assets (Oxychem), delaying long term... — read more 

Adding all the extra employees to Denver City from the properties offloaded greatly increases overhead. Cost cutting? Fuzzy math?

Has Al increased the probability for layoffs at Oxy?

Looked at a lot of the managers here and most of them are either a PE or RE. Have not seen many FE. Im in FE, is it better to switch to a PE role

Time to simplify and monetize Oxy asap. The games and PowerPoints no longer work…serious integrity issues in the field coupled with disappointing performance results. New CEO will soon need to create a vision and reduce company footprint to only the... — read more

What is the deal with Stratos? I haven't seen an update in months, and there is nothing on the 1.5 website. What about the other ventures? Terralithium? Cemvita? Net Power? Is any of this panning out? No news is bad news?

That Oxy stock was on the way up. Down 6% in early morning trading..$55... If the stock drops back into the $40's again, you are waist deep in alligators. Aunt Vickie isn't here to look after you.

With a heart full of appreciation, l want to say a BIG THANK YOU to our amazing CEO, Vicki Hollub. Thank you for all you did for Oxy’s employees. Thank you for more than doubling Oxy’s production and for your wisdom and foresight in lowering Oxy’s... — read more
