Here in Houston HR likes the staff to be young from top schools. Now they will face challenges as XOM looking for gas. XOM knows something is about to occur and gas assets are more fungible than oil in today’s market.

Welcome back hahaha!!
Advice: dust off the ole resume.
When WTI reaches $55 a barrel we will witness some serious consolidation that must occur while Trump is in office.

Laying off Australians is very expensive. So XOM will lay off Americans and other high cost countries first. Very strong unions in Aus. If there are any Expat Aus left in XOM, you will be cut unless you are hipo or on US payroll. The good News, XOM has already significantly cut its Aus payroll in Melborne, so their is room to grow in Perth with Woodside employees.
Woodside time to research what a PIP is and how it affects team dynamics and mental health & wellbeing
Woodside Houston employees and contractors are in for a surprise this coming week. They were operating under the false assumption that they (Woodside) had 25 years of viability and sweet and cushy job security prospects. Now some not so attractive contractual and project issues will come to life…Meg induced several of these issues and primary reason for quick exit..
@e9 well said. XOM will action your suggestions. Likely have a technical center in Singapore with the best Chinese and Indians money can buy
If we do acquire Woodside, the Bangaluru Technology Center in India can place Indian employees on Expat assignment in Australia to support the LNG assets.

Locations of Woodside Australia’s LNG Plants
Woodside Energy operates several major LNG facilities in Australia, all located in Western Australia.
- North West Shelf (NWS) Project

Offshore facilities: North Rankin Complex, Goodwyn Alpha, and Angel platforms in the Carnarvon Basin off the north-west coast of WA careers.monadelphous.com.au.
The Karratha plant is the onshore processing hub for the NWS Project, Australia’s oldest and second-largest LNG facility, producing around 14.3 million metric tons of LNG annually Reuters.
- Pluto LNG Plant
Location: Within the Pluto LNG Park, approximately 180 km north-west of Karratha in 85 metres of water careers.monadelphous.com.au.
Onshore infrastructure: Single processing train with 4.9 million metric tons per annum (Mtpa) LNG capacity careers.monadelphous.com.au.
Offshore: Pluto A platform (not normally manned) processes gas from the Pluto and Xena fields in the Carnarvon Basin careers.monadelphous.com.au.
- Scarborough LNG Project
Offshore location: About 375 km offshore in Western Australia’s continental shelf discoveryalert.com.au.
Onshore processing: Not yet fully operational; when complete, it will process gas from subsea wells via a 430 km subsea trunkline to onshore facilities discoveryalert.com.au.
Capacity: Targeting 9 Mtpa LNG when fully operational discoveryalert.com.au.
Summary Map of Locations:
Karratha Gas Plant – Karratha, WA (NWS Project)
Pluto LNG Plant – Pluto LNG Park, ~180 km NW of Karratha, WA
Scarborough LNG – ~375 km offshore, WA (under construction)
All three are in Western Australia’s Pilbara and Carnarvon Basin regions, reflecting Woodside’s focus on deep-water offshore gas fields and large-scale LNG export infrastructure.
XOM is not keeping pace with the industry in developing efficient LNG technology, and the same is true for clean hydrogen. EM research is far behind competitors.
i thought they lay off our EM folks and they will transition to woodside 1 Jul. Now that we are buying woodside, are they coming back before they leave? what a strange turn of events
Best hope is that EM offers a package to Woodside at the merger.
EM is transitioning jobs to India where engineers will work for 1/10 to 1/8 industry average salaries.
I get bringing in new folks if you understand where the gaps are.
I would suggest that you find a job somewhere else if you can, you will be really disappointed coming here from Woodside.
