    Vermilion and SemCAMS/Energy Transfer both had some layoffs yesterday - roughly 10% from the sounds of it.

    10% of their Canadian staff, with the field getting hit in Jan.

    Any idea what divisions at Vermilion were effected and if it was global or just Canada?

    I don't know the exact details but I know some of the technical staff (engineers/land/geos) looking after deep basin assets were let go.

    Punctuation is key in your post.

    But yes, fingers crossed.

    I'd say so. $300MM in synergies must be at least a couple of Ft. Mac salaried jobs.

    There's just an employee forum tomorrow at IOL. I doubt anyone is going home tomorrow, but that's not to say that some won't be leaving before Christmas.

    The best statement I've heard to describe Imperial is "The bureaucracy must expand to meet the needs of the expanding bureaucracy."

    Describes a lot of large oil companies actually.

    Didn't expect the Chinese owns 15% of that.

    I heard that Varel Energy solutions gave everyone in Canada their severance papers today as they are pulling out of Canada. I guesstimate a few dozen people likely losing their jobs.

    I've been on temporary layoff since April. I finally decided to call it quits this week and took the severance instead of another 2 month layoff extension. I don't see there being another 30 years of a career in drilling fluids in southern Alberta or Saskatchewan, and I don't want to work anywhere else so I'm going to have to make a change at some point and now is as good a time as any.

    In January I'll start taking class 1A training. It's $10,000 if you're going to pay for it yourself, but if you're on EI and they approve your application it's free. I don't think a 1A is worth $10,000 for me but it's worth more than 0. I figure I have the time and the opportunity now so I might as well do it.
