I know that is true. I also know in Texas, North Dakota and some other locations they cannot get enough help for many jobs. Some including driving a truck and they will train, but they need to pass the drug test.
Take care. I appreciate the cordial nature of your comments.
Thank you for that. I try but sometime my frustration shows through. It did here somewhat.
Where there is a will, there is a way.
I do agree with that. I think the oil/gas industry has shown that many times over, since the will is making money.
Simply denying that anything could be done, and that finances could never be managed to break even, doesn’t cut it for me.
When we both have a couple spare months, we can go through the budgeting requirements for a $7 billion dollar, 8 year project like an LNG export terminal. Keep in mind, it doesn't do any good to get the concrete poured faster if the cryogenic pumps, medium voltage motors and pressurized vessels all arrive at the "normal" times.
Schedules on these projects are a BIG deal. Literally million or more dollars are spent just pushing schedule.
Cheers!
Thackney, I believe there is one crucial bit of information you neglected to be forthcoming about. I’m not going to start this all over again, but we both know there is a sector out there that could be very useful to the industry, if the industry really wanted to do the right thing here.
I suspect you know exactly what I’m talking about.
