With the down turn in the industry because of lower prices I would be surprised if OI GOM follows through and hires that many, if any, new hires. It might actually work out that they have enough people to work the jobs they have this coming year for a change. Layoffs are happening throughout the oil industry right now and more are coming as long as the price of oil keeps falling. OI AME is screaming for people also but again, with the down turn they might actually be able to keep up with the work they have going on now with the people they have already, especially in West Africa without working everyone for five to six weeks at a time.
