Why doesn't Chevron see a future in renewables? In 2014 they sold Chevron Energy Solutions to OpTerra, and they also recently divested the geothermal operations. Other large players are getting into offshore wind, why not Chevron? What comes after... — read more 

Do expats still get all those extravagant tax free alloances in this tough business environment for oil? It makes a lot of sense to cut back on those.

I see the HES Skype tantrum party thread got removed, thanks mods. If folks on this board choose to call others out by name they should also include their name.

Will there be expat opportunities for younger employees desiring career development through international experience?

Here's a link to the Australian Tax Office's latest case against Chevron on it's dodgy interest claims. Great news for the Australian tax payer. Note that She'll and Exxon have been more prudent in their loan structures and what they have claimed in... — read more 

Well, I just checked the Chevron website to see what is happening with employment openings. All of these stupid news reports about the big upswing in oil industry hiring does not feel quite right. Probably 95% or more are for field workers, not... — read more 

Any word in the DWEP-GOM merger?

Would someone be able to help me answer this.

Saw this on a different board - it's a good one... I'm always reminded of this guest lecturer I had in college. He was a buddhist monk that was giving a talk about external forces and influence. He made the point that everything outside ourselves is... — read more 

No one who has lost their job is deluding themselves into thinking that they are content and happy. It is more that they have accepted the reality of their situation and are adjusting their lifestyles accordingly. Well, at least most people. Sure... — read more 

" It's just the right thing to do. It's very simple"... that just about says it all. If money falls off a truck and nobody is looking do you keep it or return it to its owner. If you can shoot a person in the head and grab their money with confidence... — read more 

Last month on May 31, 2017, I received my Chevron pension annuity payment. For the 24th straight month, Chevron direct deposited $8,778 in my account. Again, this is double the $4,389 amount I'm supposed to be getting. Ever since the first double... — read more 

Chevron has developed a Mba mindset that engineers are commodities. The brain pool that has been released is unbelievable. 35 year employees with masters from MIT, West Point graduates, engineers with multiple patents. Chevrons new mentality is to... — read more

Some Jackass is starting new threads just to complain about others starting new threads to expand on old threads! Go figure ;-).

Don't reply to the clown who is copying replies within threads and creating new topics. Childish.

He has no concept of the value of technical expertise in complex projects like Gorgon & Wheatstone, so he casually reduces technical staff to "save money." I wonder how many technical experts you could employ for how many centuries with the money... — read more 

The chickens are coming home to roost. But Watson will retire before the shinola hits the fan, and he'll blame it on something that was out of his control. What a joke Chevron has become.

Why not have a 9 hour work day M-F and have a 4 hour day every Friday? That way, everyone will come to work every day of the week and still have free time on Friday to take care of personal business. Ultimately, it is up to the managers and... — read more

My position was eliminated in October 2015. I had health insurance coverage for through April 2016. Should I have received a 1095-C form to show that I had coverage? I am asking because HR said to contact Kaiser and Kaiser said to contact Chevron... — read more 

So what is going on with San Juan ?

Think about how much MCBU could be worth as an independent, without the burden of Chevron Management and processes. Lower drilling costs, lower opex, less red tape. Heck, it could double its Proved reserve base right away by following standard... — read more
