… to be able to speak openly and candidly about issues that have been an important part of my professional life for 50 years. Thankful for our First Amendment rights; they must be protected.
Whether you represent Big Oil, Big Gas, Big Wind, Big Green, Big Climate, Big Stick (regulators 😀), Big Swamp (Washington DC friends 😉), or none of the above, thank you for visiting this modest, independent, and rather obscure blog.
Over the next couple of weeks, I will be posting about an interesting study that links compliance and safety, some unpublished thoughts on the Macondo blowout 12 years later, and comments on the industry push for carbon sequestration in the Gulf of Mexico (sorry advocates, I’m not a fan).
Regardless of your faith, nationality, political views, or thoughts about world events and offshore energy, I hope you have the opportunity to spend time with friends and family this weekend.
For those who observe Easter…..

Bud, Your observations are always spot-on. Always have been. A fair regulator, and a fair blogger, I so appreciate the time you take to help all of us understand the reality of safety, oil and gas and life in general. Thank you so much! Your fan, Jodie
Thanks Jodie. You are very kind. Bud
