Alberta BS Thread

Doing good, waiting to see who bought Husky so I acn find out if I still have a job!

 

NO doubt right

 

I thought the Chinese owned most of Husky now? Not that I ever checked that out but I seem to remember someone telling me that onces. My wifes uncle is a VP for Husky Oil, I wonder what's up.

My company is in the middle of a buyout but the company buying has committed to keeping us intact as is.

 

A chinese guy owns half of husky. They're not selling everything, just the conventional oil. I should find out next week who the new owner is, probably CNRL.

 

Okay. Her uncle deals mostly with oil sand development which makes sense why he didn't say anything about the sale when we saw him last. A funny story is that he once told me that Husky didn't really care much about their conventional Oil in Southern Alberta because of how little they actually produced compared to their other projects.

 

They pretty much used the money we maid to fund the sands, and now they are on-line so they're selling.

My plant was purchased by Canadian Natural Resources. I find out friday if they're going to hire me on. (next friday) If they don't I get a severance package from husky. If they do I will probably take a pretty large pay cut.

 

It's CNRL, you will take a pay cut for sure.

 

Ya, I'm kinda hoping for the buy out. Too bad I'm good at my job so they will probably keep me, best case they will want me to contract operate, then I'd get the buy out and a job!

 

Best of luck good sir.
