BLACK W F

I don't think that's going to happen as loads more losing their jobs this month I know plenty on their 30 days and I know some big rig owners are looking at pulling out uk

John there is only 1 company able to pull it out for that most are running on the 20+ a barrel to get it out

its a sad reflection of the times Dougie but the knock on effects could be dire I know a couple of guys in Aberdeen with hotels *expletive removed* has fallen out of them cant fill rooms even at a 3rd of the prices ect houses arnt selling in fact many have lost a lot off them I know lads who have thrown the keys in cant afford to pay mortgages yes I feel for the many lads who have lost their jobs but in all honesty it was sitting at 120 dollars a barrel there was plenty smiles as the companys reaped huge profits now its dropped first thing they hit is work force cut numbers cut wages ect and there is no end in sight a lot more will join the 150000 that have gone out of this industry and yet u still have idiots spouting about oil SMP they would have bankrupted Scotland lets hope the prices rise to realistic prices so many can get into work and get the industry back on track

Sir Ian Wood, who authored an authoritative review of the British oil and gas industry, said that the North Sea could shed 45,000 workers in 2016, which follows the loss of 65,000 jobs last year. The contraction in the North Sea has been supercharged by low oil prices, but over the long-term the industry may not be able to turn things around. A February report from Douglas-Westwood, a consultancy, concluded that the British North Sea could see 150 oil platforms scrapped in just the next ten years. The report believes that decommissioning will take place in British waters much sooner than in Norway’s section of the North Sea. Wood Mackenzie found that one barrel out of every seven produced in the UK’s North Sea today is being produced at a loss. Another report found that half of the companies in the North Sea are also operating at a loss. Earlier this year, Oil & Gas UK said that the oil industry in the North Sea was “at the edge of a chasm.†Higher oil prices will help stop the bleeding, but long-term growth appears to be off the table.

that's the cheapest company in north sea one of the few that's drilling u should know who they are they got the lowest overheads

Fred u just aint got a clue we have been very lucky up here but that will change there is many company's pulling the plug that means worse unemployment never has Aberdeen seen any thing like as bad as this and it aint any where near bottoming out yet we are very lucky that the midget never got her way other wise our arses would be blowing in the wind

spot on mate those 2 like reading the sun who believes what they print just like that 2 just spout pure P***

Fred where do u get that from what a load of bollocks it is taken more than 17 dollars to get it out and the deeper u go its a lot more then the tax government gets and profit taken out by the company the percentage sent back is the tax on it harry oil prices yesterday was 48 dollars a barrel

Dougie read my post they will not drill until the price is a consistant 60-70 dollars and that wont happen next year that's for sure yer that's y its not being taken out

Dougie oil is fooked in north sea its only 48dollars a barrel unless it goes to between 60 -70 a barrel for a prolonged period there will be nothing drilled except the company's doing small wells to keep hold of there quadrant and contract u would get a shock if u only new the company's that's pulled out of Aberdeen and there's more going

the price that it was will never return once Iran comes on line and fracking starts up again it will keep the price low the cost of taking out the north sea is too dear so the company's say who just want bigger profits and there's more losing their jobs every day its far from over 2017 will not be any better and it will be employees who will get the brunt of it and this is slowly starting to hit other industry's

most of the belgies that come over are janssen based as like a lot of the dist birds have sticklebaut in them and go back futher the old vandys are in them
