I feel so bad.
My cousin drive a commercial dive boat in the gulf, one with saturation divers, he's so busy, working on existing infrastructure he's welcoming the slow down.
He's on with 1 other capt, 12 on 12 off for 28 days, then 14 days off
boat never goes into shore except for repair requiring yard services, everything else is lightered out.

Good.

They rode record profits on oil prices they helped to drive up. They limited production at refineries to keep prices high, even as the per barrel cost came down.

That is the problem with multi-billion dollar company that has all their eggs in one basket. Unless they adjust their business model to deal with energy outside of oil, they will fail just like our domestic auto companies are.
