For those involved with the project, share your thoughts.

how is this project really going? been hearing a lot of buzz inside and outside of this company.

people don’t seem give a lot of credit here.

Anyone here anoutband/or can comment on what is being called Project Autumn?

Are you obliged to do handover after layoff tomorrow? I do not think I want to turn on my machine after that.
I am working on a project that is going live in next 2 weeks. We have some critical issues going on right now.

Just a general thread.

Any info. out there on TIS modernization projects? Some are under review or shortly going on hold, what does that mean for the future direction of TIS?

This extension isn't for you, this mass exodus just didn't fit their timeline. My guess is there will be a lot of rah-rah bullsh-t next week, and guilt tripping.

Do what's best for you, not the shareholders. Project Simplify isn't over, they just want you to forget about it right now.

I will start

Upstream: Worst to be part of big BU. Lot of work and no reward
Best: Small BU, same distribution and generally worse people. Even better Uncon support groups. Do nothing but critic others work - easy for any Exxon people

GP - Avoid Dev Planning. Go for any Cat 4 or lower projects.

Finished a major project and they let the last remote guy go today.

I was selected for a in house project to replace a old computer system. Being old we had low on parts, also the reliability was very low. If I’m going to do this right why not find out where the bottlenecks are and get a wish list and try to do my best.

When the system was ready for testing I set it up next to the system that was on line and testing can be done. Some people were excited and others started claiming I was planning on taking peoples jobs.
Needless to say the rumors got started. The system did go on line and worked well.

because openly talking about the sh-t show I am experiencing to anyone here puts my job at risk. Communication between the groups is not as good as it was before Nov 2025. Project progress has slowed, keeping up with changes in direction is ridiculous. and trying to keep quality in the contractors' work is, well, impossible (too much to oversee). Leadership should not have wiped out so many good people in that last big layoff. This is my experience. Is it just me, or are others in this market also at their limit?

Do we think the project will be completed on schedule, or is it heading toward another FNV4 situation?

What a blunder... Sometimes I feel that half of the pain we are going through is due to this horrible dud. It's a dark gift that keeps on giving as we bleed even more money trying to fix things.

How does Accenture have 350 people and unable to deliver Project Keystone? Why isnt anyone getting penalized for this sh*tshow? Who is the sponsor for Accenture?

Accenture is terrible and with GCC effort - i am sure they are selling their souls and su-king Jose’s and Kevin A’s lollipop

I love how my project team is in Houston India Manila and BA. How the F are we supposed to accomplish anything.

Executive incompetence (or incontinence) is truly the root cause of all of this.

Gross mismanagement of spiking costs for flash ki-led margins, awful roll out of UCPQ, project ocean was a disaster that is still the gift that keeps on giving having to pay a 3rd party to fix it.

Seagate sold their ASIC team to Broadcom. I wonder if WD will do the same ? I'm aware of a couple of projects being completely mothballed at WD today.

Hearing some great intel and insights that Kaskida is being challenged by Meg for potentially not meeting economic and technical hurdles…
Please share your insights on this complex project that was rammed into FID by Murray’s go team…What does Elliot Management think about their capital6 deployed and possibly destroyed? When the the technical class challenges sanctioning

What does anyone know about what is supposed to change State Farm? Apparently it's a big deal.

Where bad ideas go to become and AFE and a pds that was done 3 yrs ago and people who should never ever get promoted. What say you?!

Alright… what is “Project Panda” and why is it suddenly the worst-kept secret?

The SUPER TOP SECRET ULTRA SECRET NDA project that everyone knows about called Maverick is getting close to it's official "roll out" live day and it's so far from ready that it's comical.

Sadly, many of you - specifically sales, ISG/CSG - are going to have the misfortune of "testing" it out. I know nothing about what these new tools are, what they are replacing (apparently DOMS is being "replaced" but that's been said for the last 20 years LOL) but I will say that you are all in for a horrible time when it goes live.

I think the deadline/go live date is mid May and so much of it is STILL being tested right now. Keep in mind the OG "go live date" was in February...

Godspeed my friends.

If not, how sc--wed am I?

Polyarc Games announced company-wide layoffs. The VR developer could not secure funding. This followed the cancellation of a major project. The number of affected workers was not disclosed. Polyarc is known for its adventure-puzzle game Moss.

Seattle, Washington

With the need for LNG, what’s happening with Goldenpass? More f ups or Global projects blaming the contractor.

the Maverick project testing is going poorly. It will be either a rollout in May but is an awful tool or delayed again.JC needs to go.

Thoughts on Project Elevate?

After working on this project for two years, I have serious concerns about the successful delivery of the CE1 project.

So Kyndryl very secretively initiated Project Omni to displace US workers with ones in low cost countries like India. Someone got a whiff of it, and the project was shutdown. The resources hired/shortlisted for Omni are now being accommodated to other projects where the demand is.
Another day at Kyndryl…

DAC will create direct and indirect jobs and give new technology entrants an opportunity to test this technology.

The highlights
More jobs in a tough economy
Test new tech and discover new tech
Burn lots of natural gas to create electricity to run fans, compressors to su-k air and inject into a formation.

Haven't heard much about it lately other than the OG deadline was pushed to May but, am curious if that is even achievable.

Project January 2026

Someone posted a while ago that ExxonMobil might sell Imperial Oil, and another post stated that Imperial Oil might see Kearl.

Now here is the interesting fact: Kearl alone is 19% of ExxonMobil’s total proven reserve. I can bet, no one will dare sell Kearl. The stock price of ExxonMobil and Imperial Oil will just drop to the bottom. So, no one will dare sell Kearl

Here is the calculation from Copilot:

Here’s a refined breakdown of how much of ExxonMobil’s proved reserves come from Imperial Oil and specifically from the Kearl project:

🌍 1. ExxonMobil’s Total Proved Reserves
• At the end of 2023, ExxonMobil reported about 16.93 billion barrels of oil equivalent (boe) in proved reserves 1.

🛢️ 2. Reserves From Imperial Oil
Imperial Oil is approximately 69.6% owned by ExxonMobil 23. Its operated reserves (which include bitumen) are included in Exxon’s broader totals. Notably:
• Exxon’s total bitumen reserves are reported at 2.414 billion barrels 1.
• Since Imperial operates the Kearl and other bitumen assets, it's reasonable to attribute most of that bitumen figure back to Imperial.
Calculation: 2.414 B bbl / 16.93 B bbl ≈ 14.3%
So, roughly 14% of ExxonMobil’s total proved reserves originate from Imperial Oil.

⛏️ 3. Reserves From the Kearl Oil Sands Project
• The Kearl project holds about 4.6 billion barrels of reserves 45.
• Exxon’s effective share of Kearl is through Imperial’s 69.6% ownership; therefore:
• 4.6 B × 0.696 ≈ 3.2 B barrels attributable to Exxon.
• As a percentage of Exxon’s total proved reserves:
• 3.2 B / 16.93 B ≈ 18.9%
Thus, approximately 19% of ExxonMobil's reserves stem from the Kearl oil sands project.

Now got project FID. should have been the springboard off the back of catcher to really propel DQ into competing with the big boys.
Now? This project will go to OneSubsea or BH and normal service has been resumed.

What a sad state of affairs.

Anyone know if this office is still planned to be built at Penn station

The suspense is ki-ling me. Anyone heard anything on how it's going? Are we making customers lives better? Success stories of any kind?

Just curious if anyone has info on where it's at
