We are committed to working with the union to find a reasonable compromise even for the dismissed employees.

We are very pleased that the deal has been signed.

If we don't change, the company will not survive.

This program enables us to provide for an enhanced compensation package. We are making it available not only to our 1,400 loyal current staff, but also to those former employees who chose to engage in an illegal wildcat action rather than within the bounds of the law.

This feature allows IT, not to block these employees from what they're doing but keep track of it.

The compromise could be 700,000 barrels but the actual production increase could be around 400,000. At 1 million extra barrels prices may be drawn lower but at 500,000 prices could hit $40.
