So are many of our refineries. Sigh.
Pathetic.
Heh, this is disgusting. :\
These people know what theyre doing, Croyle said. Its all about the crews.
Meanwhile we can't seem to see past the next quarterly earnings report.
Much of equipment they use is copies of patented drilling equipment. Someone needs to examine their equipment and file some complaints. If they imported fake trademark equipment..it could be seized.
Are our EPA and environazis going to give the Chicoms drilling operations the same anal exams that drove our companies out of business? I'll bet not. The Sierra Club et al should never have acquired the power to shut down industries that are now being taken over by the Chinese.

pardon me, but WTF?

That was my first reaction.
If the American companies went bust, then the equipment may actually been sold to the Chinese and then used in this case. They do it in the steel industry.
I was in nearby San Bernadino in 1983 when a steel-mill in Compton, CA was sold to the Chinese, dismantled and shipped out.
Colorado Welcomes Chinese/American Joint Venture
Golden Bear Drilling & Services Corporation
In response to the equipment and service shortage in Colorado's oil and gas exploration industry, a new company, Golden Bear Drilling & Services Corporation, was created through a joint venture between Jilin Petrolum and investors in Colorado, Oklahoma, New York and Washington DC. The collaborative effort will provide drilling and completion services to oil and gas companies in the Rocky Mountain region.
Golden Bear, headquartered in Denver, will ship drilling rigs to Colorado that are in high demand by oil and gas companies and will provide assistance and operation training to local drill rig crews. Golden Bear will begin its first project this February in Washington County, drilling gas wells for an American company. An equipment yard will also be located in Fort Morgan, Colorado, to service the Rocky Mountain region. The International Trade Division of the Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade worked with Jilin Petroleum and others involved in the joint venture as it was finalizing its decision.
Jilin Petroleum Group is a $1 billion subsidiary of the China National Petroleum Company.
