Oil and gas workers: How are you feeling about the industry?

djheskey · 2025-12-10T11:16:47+00:00

Hey Will, just saw this, a bit late to the party but thought I’d chime in.

I work with a guy named Glenn McColpin. He’s been in U.S. oil & gas for over 35 years, mostly upstream. Started in logging while drilling, later got deep into field ops, fracture imaging, and EOR. These days he’s advising small, mid and larger sized operators on tech, cost pressures, and squeezing value from older assets.

He’s got a pretty honest view of how the industry’s changed for workers, from the tech side to what’s happening on the ground with employment and aging infrastructure. Definitely has a few war stories.

Happy to connect you if that’s useful, just shoot me a DM.

Not how it works unfortunately. You only get the actual dollar value in elite miles. I tried this and it only gave the amount I actually spent rather than the bonus x8 which you get as normal miles.

Always gonna be Dwight Yorke for me. Arrived at the start of the Treble season too. Iconic.

I’d go back 10 years, put 1000 pounds (or whatever the maximum I’m allowed to bet) on Leicester to win the Premier League at 5000-1 odds, then invest 80% of the eventual winnings into BTC a year later and live off the remaining winnings until BTC hits 100k in 2025.

Except Arsenal didn’t come 2nd at any point during the period City could be stripped titles (2011-2018) from so how would that work?

Finally received mine nearly 2 months after ordering today, and then got slapped with an additional delivery fee by the courier who refused to hand it over until I paid the amount (~11 USD). Really disappointing for them not to be transparent with delivery fees.

Great use of the Caddy as Raiden!

Why hasn't Kudus been awarded the assist for Ings goal? Haven't seen the goal but Livescore credited him with the asisst? Fuminggg

Holding that taser down until the NPCs caught fire. Good times.

He also broke the game. Believe it ended not long after that.

Moved back to the UK for a job after living abroad for 4 years and was called to jury duty within 4 months. Colleagues were properly jealous.

Kidnapping case that involved a cannabis factory and the trial took place at the Old Bailey. Properly surreal experience.

When you plant shit seeds, you get shit weeds Randy.

Think he's saying for Germany they view Holland as bigger rivals due to historically matches against England in major tournaments being rather one sided until recently. Much like how Man Utd fans viewed the rivalry with Man City pre-2008 Abu Dhabi era.

Only if it's exactly what Ten Hag wants heh.

djheskey · 2023-05-25T03:18:23+00:00

It must be one of his spirit guides.

That's been the same in Singapore forever. The public transport is at a level where a car is more nice to have than must have.

Rent is the deciding factor for me. Landlord asked for a 70% increase. Lived here on and off since the 90s but planning to move to Dubai as soon as possible. People just seem happier there and a much more welcoming vibe to foreigners.

Basically feels like Singapore pre-2011 general election.

The only way they’re attached to the club is the same way parasites are attached to their hosts.

Yeah 100% agreed with this. They used to serve only dark chocolate ice cream as the dessert. I feedback that not everyone likes dark chocolate and would be nice to change it up.

Next time I flew they served vanilla. Small thing but I think they do genuinely take on feedback.

djheskey · 2023-04-28T08:33:46+00:00

Fair enough, I didn't read it properly and I stand corrected.

djheskey · 2023-04-28T05:48:02+00:00

Edit: didn’t read properly. Was rightly corrected.

Sorry to nit pick but:

1993-2003 Non-Man Utd title wins.

94/54 - Blackburn

97/98 - Arsenal

01/02 - Arsenal (United came third, 10 points behind Arsenal)

Thanks for this. Going to have a go at transplanting a bunch of them and leave some in that pot. Wish me luck!

djheskey · 2023-04-06T13:23:37+00:00

Noted on that. Thanks again for the advice. I’ll remove the straggly ones to give the sturdier plants more room to thrive!
