I heard from a credible source high up the food chain at the Tower that they have finally decided to shut down the Pressure Control Group. Many people didn't think it would happen, but they have admitted the Offshore world will be dead for at least... — read more 

Anyone know how many employees have been tested positive on COVID-19. I think HSE doesn't want to reveal the numbers and locations (not to protect any privacy but to get the business running)!

Any credible updates on when/if Bammel (either location) will get hit with layoffs?

Got laid off on 4-6-20 along with another person at Parkwood Circle. I wasn’t shocked and was actually kind of relieved to be done working for NOV and mad that I wasted some many years of my life there for nothing. I got a severance but it was only... — read more
