Clarkson ‘eyes idle rig market’

New rig gig: Jeremy Clarkson finally takes viewers' advice and heads for the high seas


Ousted Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson has reportedly set his sights on machinery of a different kind as he looks to take advantage of a lull in the oil market with a new television show aimed at racing idled rigs.

The car enthusiast, who was axed from the money-spinning BBC series after mistaking a television producer for an inquisitive energy journalist, plans to give cold-stacked semi-submersibles a new lease of life in a show set to be called BOP Gear.

The introverted and universally liked Clarkson, who helped turn a programme about four-wheeled transportation devices into something mildly interesting and not at all irritating, said the opportunity to “sex up” the depressed rig market was just too good to turn down.

“Oil companies and executives are just so bloody boring, it’s about time the public got to see what the industry’s machines are really like: man’s ultimate expression of his contempt for nature, with an unmistakeable underlying phallocentrism,” said the broadcaster, writer and amateur pugilist.

Reports indicate Clarkson and a yet-to-be-named team of sidekicks plan on enticing hard-up rig players by paying them a relative pittance to take laid-up semisubs on high-speed jaunts in far flung exotic locations, or the North Sea.

One early idea will see Clarkson pit his wits against a Greenpeace vessel in the Russian Arctic to see which one President Vladimir Putin finds more detestable.

Clarkson is also said to be planning another trip to Argentina, followed by an actual four-well drilling campaign in the Falklands.

“There’s a huge market out there for watching slow-moving, ageing, washed-up monsters that used to earn huge amounts of money for doing the same boring job day in, day out for years on end, before they ended up being dumped ignominiously on the scrap heap,” Clarkson said of himself.

“They just better serve bloody good hot food on these rigs, or I’m going to lose the plot,” the normally self-effacing life-long Buddhist added.

Clarkson is set to be joined on his new venture by any number of former Petrobras executives, US tight oil producers with quite a bit of time on their hands and North Korean President Kim Jong-un, the last to increase the show’s appeal to viewers.

It is unknown who has been enlisted to play The Rig Stig, although Brazil’s President Dilma Rousseff is said to be dead keen for a prolonged stint of anonymity on any vessel that’s not sinking.

Important News about Industry Changes to Well Control Certification
The IWCF and the IADC are both making significant changes to their well control programs. There are now five levels of certification which are expected to correspond with job position. In most cases, IWCF Candidates will have to progress through the levels one by one in a linear manner. For IADC, only drilling contractor personnel will need to have Level 3 certification before obtaining Level 4. There are no prerequisites for non-contractor personnel.

The new IWCF requirements went into effect September 1, 2014.
The IADC requirements go into effect April 1, 2015.

Baker Hughes increases layoffs to 10,500
HOUSTON — Oil field service company Baker Hughes says it has decided to increase its job cuts to 10,500 workers, about 17 percent of its workforce, as it works through a slump in North American drilling.
The move bolsters its planned layoffs from the 7,000-job cut it announced earlier this year. It said it has closed or consolidated about 140 facilities around the world and idled excess inventory and assets. The cost cutting efforts, it said, should save it more than $700 million annually.
The Houston firm expects the downturn to continue in the second quarter and will make more cuts if needed, said Martin Craighead, CEO of Baker Hughes, in a written statement.
“As day rates for drilling rigs have fallen sharply, so has the demand for high technology products,” he said. Baker Hughes estimates 20 percent of the wells recently drilled in the United States have not been through completion stages – processes used to gear a well up for production. Prices for oil equipment have fallen as a supply glut builds, he said.
The company posted a net loss of $589 million in the first quarter, or a loss of $1.35 a share, compared with a profit of $328 million, or 75 cents a share, in the same period last year. Baker Hughes’ first-quarter revenue fell to $4.59 billion, down 20 percent compared with the same period last year.
It took a $573 million restructuring charge related to layoffs and other cost cutting.
Baker Hughes’ layoffs bring job cuts by the three biggest oil field service firms to 39,500 so far this year. Weatherford International, the world’s fourth-largest oil-equipment firm, has separately said it plans to cut 8,000 jobs.

Oil Services Company Weatherford Raises Job Cuts Target to 10,000


April 22 (Reuters) - Oil services company Weatherford International Plc increased the total number of employees it is looking to lay off in 2015 to 10,000 as it copes with the fall in oil prices.
The Dublin-based company, which had earlier said it would cut 8,000 jobs in 2015, said it completed 6,449 job cuts by the end of the first quarter.
Weatherford said it expects to complete the revised job cuts program by the end of the second quarter, and expects annualized savings of $640 million.
The company said its 18 percent headcount reduction goal for the year would leave it with about 39,000 employees in its core businesses and 6,000 rig employees.
The company also cut its capital expenditure forecast for 2015 by $50 million to $850 million.
The announcement comes nearly a week after industry leader Schlumberger Ltd said it would cut a further 11,000 jobs and reduced its capital spending plan for this year as it prepares for an extended period of lower activity and pricing pressure, especially in North America.
Net loss attributable to the company widened to $118 million, or 15 cents per share, in the first quarter ended March 31, from $41 million, or 5 cents per share, a year earlier.
The company's revenue fell 22.3 percent to $2.79 billion.
Weatherford's shares, which closed at $13.37 on Wednesday, have fallen more than 27 percent in the past 12 months.

Training, Development: Maintaining a Skilled Workforce in Oil, Gas
by Valerie Jones
|Rigzone Staff
|Tuesday, April 28, 2015

HR experts shared best practices on how to manage layoffs with care as well as acquire skilled workers during the industry downturn. Additionally, it’s important to remember the war for talent is not over, rather it’s changing and evolving. During this downturn, HR and recruiters should make strategic decisions in order to maintain a successful business.
IS UPSKILLING FULL-PROOF?
A new buzzword has been gaining traction in the energy industry: upskilling. But what is it exactly and why has it become popular?
“The term upskilling was intended to be the teaching of an employee additional skills to enhance the capabilities of a staff,” Chris Melillo, managing partner and energy practice leader for Kaye/Bassman International Corp., told Rigzone.
But is upskilling always the best idea? Some seem to think so, given the current state of the market. But Melillo warns that upskilling shouldn’t be looked at as a means of securing work after an individual has already been laid off. Rather, it should be an ongoing part of an employee’s development.
“Too often, the concept of upskilling in a bad market is too late for it to help. For example, a person may get laid off and think they can go get some additional skills, then secure a job quickly,” said Melillo, who receives 20 drilling resumes a day and 25 to 30 geoscience resumes a day.
While the idea of taking additional courses might work in Information Technology positions where things are heavily knowledge-based, for oil and gas, learning a new skill set is only going to be a start, Melillo advised.
“Too often, we research a candidate and find that while they have exposure to a specific type of horizontal drilling, it was only for two to three months,” he said. “Upskilling has to have a lot of application behind it.”
Melillo said it’s also common for workers to think vertically in terms of employment (i.e. only upward movement – promotions and senior roles), but oil and gas employees should consider lateral moves within an industry because of potential opportunities and security in the case of downturns, such as the one the industry is currently experiencing.
Gaining as much experience in as many areas as possible is key, especially for drillers, for example, who may fare well with lateral levels of drilling experience when there may not be supervisory or managerial positions available, but still a focus on completion and production.
DEVELOPING TALENT AND LEADERSHIP
It can be more costly to hire new employees and train them rather than develop ways to continuously develop the talent already in a company’s own office. For this reason, many oil and gas companies have found much success with internal training programs for employees.

“When you’re blowing and going and things are wide open in the oil patch, a lot of times training gets placed on the back burner and the focus is on getting talent in the door, giving them the minimum amount of training that is needed and getting them out to the rigs because you’re simply trying to keep up with the demands of your clients,” said Marty Kunz, vice president of HR for C&J Energy. “But training is very important, not only hard skills training and safety training, but soft skills training – things like teaching new supervisors that might be in a supervisory role for the first time, human resources training for the non-HR manager and other basic tools they need to put in their kit to be effective and successful managers of people.”
Halliburton Co., who offers its 12-month President’s Leadership Excellence Program (PLEP), shared positive results in the program helping to develop effective leaders for their organization.
Cindy Bigner, Halliburton’s senior global director of corporate affairs and diversity initiatives, said PLEP allows participants an opportunity to address real company challenges in small teams and helps prepare individuals to move into senior roles in the company.
“That’s the goal: to actually develop our key leadership for the company in the future,” she said.
PLEP also allows Halliburton to weed out those individuals who cannot handle the pressure or demands of the program or those who decide management isn’t really what they want to do.
“This program prepares them to be leaders at Halliburton and also allows them to understand what is required at that level,” Bigner said. “It’s a huge opportunity and considered one of the greatest honors at Halliburton to be chosen for the program. Almost every single one of our executive committee has been through this program. It’s a big honor and something that is highly looked at when we consider promotions.”
Training and career development can be vital to retaining quality employees in an organization.
“Those that are remaining after the layoffs, I think it’s an important message to send to those people that you invest your time and effort in them and tell them you believe in them, that you’re still here,” Kunz said. “Get caught up in the training you didn’t know you or your company had time for. It sends a strong message to [employees], it makes them better managers, it makes them better employees and it will make you stronger coming out the other side.”
