Phew! Looks like the green wave has dampened a little. For another year we can fool around with hydrogen and biodiesel, and pretend we're "transitioning".
Transition length?
Any thoughts on how long the transition will be post close for the back office work (accounting, production, DO)? Assuming everything goes pretty quick since its not your first rodeo.

No. Chevron does not value its (few and far between) successful oil explorers. Want proof? Just ask your Chevron recruiter or your contacts there if they can name just 4 or 5 current and successful oil explorers in the company. Maybe the... — read more
