Agree with Chucks that the mess in Nigeria (and some other oil producing countries) is not just down to the oil companies. It’s a lot more complex but I’m sure the oil companies are not completely without blame.
What I do know that the bottom line for them very important is and they employ different standards around the world what safety is concerned, whatever they can get away with.
I believe that the oil companies should invest more into security, not just for their employees but also for the contractors who are essential in the exploration and production of the black gold. But again they show their true colours in the current Nigerian situation.
Then again most of us have shares or pensions that have shares in those companies and indirectly the bottom line is important to us as well …
