The article re Brinded and Nigeria on why Shell cant build a refinery in Nigeria is comical. Though the justification is correct, the reality is Shell cant build a refinery anywhere. Just look at our own Port Arthur project. Under Tom Purvess leadership, this ill fated concept got hatched. Everyone was happy in the early days, taking Port Arthur back to the glory days. Alas, the cit leaders didnt plan on Tom and the project team bringing global help in here via Bechtel to do the work and therefore not impact the locals nearly as much as what had been advertised. Now, some 2 years late on the commitment for start-up and a price tag that will ultimately grow to $14B, Shell might just as well say Forget Nigeria we cant build a refinery anywhere. Toms legacy goes down the toilet with this project. He would do well to retire and at least give our team half a chance to run it well.
By the way, for any that are watching . Toms #2 boy, Forrest Lauher, aka Forrest Liar, resigned from Shell as Botts sent the anticipated note out yesterday. Forrest was in over his head from day 1 on this project, given to him by none other than Tom Purves. He lost control of the project and got removed back in 2009. Should have been fired. Instead he got saved and was placed in our plant manager seat. Again, couldnt handle the top job and they pulled him last year. We can only wait for the notice on Toms #1 boy Funkhater and then ultimately Tom himself.
2012 is starting to be a great year!
