Why does he hate the upstream so much when they make the money. Many of the underhanded tactics are focused on making the profitable upstream like the low cost / low margin downstream. Did he hate Liam so much that he is f us now Liam retired. He has handcuffed any upstreamer that can challenge him. Can upstream ever come back or we on the downward spiral now forever

currently many upstream positions are held by downstream executives. What percent of downstream positions are held by Upstream?
stupid downstreamer...just accept that you guys making less money..upstreamer is the one helping the company survive while downstreamer just tag along contribute nothing..just shut up downstremer...
The largest blunders in last two decades were in Upstream. Example: XTO, Kearl, Celtic, Iraq, etc.
@en+1k86mq0c9 Valuable insight, thanks. Talk to any downstteamer and they'll tell you the complete opposite.
The company is completely broken, with no common vision or identity. Ever since they started going on about culture, it's got less and less clear with no company coherence.
@f6 typical Downstreamer. You think reigning in spending on meal expenses is what is going to save or ruin the corp? Really bruh?
@d7 tell me how having an unconstrained business meal expense is delivering value for upstream?
There is no one that can save the upstream now; Bart maybe could have been he had his b@lls cut off. Everyone else is either too close to retirement or doesn’t give a f. The next CEO will be a downstreamer and the beatings will continue, just look how they are changing Upstream Ops to look like a refinery now. No recognition or care. just do it is the answer
D A had never seen an Upstream facility before being named Upstream President.
K M had never worked in oil industry before the $8 million signing bonus to join EM.
Darren likes to surround himself with ignorant people that do not know enough to challenge him.
its over for upstream, showing Liam the door and bringing in DA sealed it.
its because although you do s**t money, you also waste a ton of money. cowboy boots and loud barking doesnt impact bottom line.
That's because Upstream is value conscious. Yes, it can always be more cost conscious... But focus too much on cost to the point you demoralize the organization.... And value ultimately suffers. Remember Upstream is a depletion business, so value generation is critical.
EMPS margin business is fundamentally different than Upstream
Because upstream isn’t cost conscious. Key example: LEG doesn’t exist in Upstream.
