Cement skid units and other equipment being torched and scrapped. WE ARE DOOMED!

Everybody is rolling over dead. WTF?

http://fuelfix.com/blog/2015/04/16/schlumberger-cuts-another-11000-jobs-in-wake-of-oil-crash/

expect another 20%+ cuts in headcount for BH in the next year.

Any ideas if the R & D side is going to survive till the end? it seems to me that should have been one of the first cuts.

And there is nothing that we can do about it. Going down.

1) GE Oil and Gas buying out Baker Hughes completions. 2) Weatherford buying out PP. 3) Halli is selling bits, mwd/lwd/dd BUT they're keeping their personnel to run Baker's tools. So don't get so happy ds. You're not staying. Confirm - Yes/ No

Why is Halliburton giving all the news breaks. Can't baker management say anything about what's going on??? All we hear on the damned red blue bs is don't be alarmed. Keep working likes asses.

halliburton has announced that they're selling drilling. But what about production chemicals? I know that halli bought multi chem. which is our arch nemesis in the chemical game. Does anyone know if it will be divested or kept?

It's a broad bricht moonlit nicht tonich!

Layoffs not finished yet !!!! More to come. Bridge of don, Dyce , Portlethen , etc etc. Get ready
