Texas visit
 

Is anyone from around the Port Arthur area?

I have a couple questions for you, as I may be visiting this area soon.

More importantly, does anyone work at the Port Arthur refinery?

No, they blow up every 3-5 yrs so I try to stay away. Plus it smells bad, bunch of us in Houston though.

Oh yes, the smell of money :tup:

If I get the posting, I'll be sure to visit Houston for a peek.

I'm joking, I work in Oil & Gas so I don't mind the refineries! Thats how we make big money down here and why people all over the country and world come to work in Texas. Texas rocks http://serve.mysmiley.net/party/party0031.gif

I've worked in Oil and gas (mostly oil) for 29 years :eek: now. Where did the time go?

I'm just trying to get more info on the Port Arthur expansion (retrofit?) for a opportunity to go there and do a reactor catalyst load/start-up. Even though I specialize in H2 production and diesel/Jet manufacturing. But I've supervised a few reactor catalyst +sulphiding(stinky!) loads in my time.


Just out of curiousity ........how's the overtime ratio at your place?

I'm a independent petroleum landman, I deal with leasing/drilling operations for Chesapeake! Sorry I have no idea on the overtime ratios for that particular refinery. Good luck though, hope it works out!
