Houston19514 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Wasn't sure where to put this. Hopefully, it belongs in the Downtown section, rather than Energy Corridor or The Woodlands: BP is planning to split its U.S. onshore oil and gas segment into a separate business by next year, a bid to become more competitive with smaller rivals that dominate the region’s shale reservoirs, executives said Tuesday.The move would install a new management team to oversee about 7.6 billion barrels of BP’s oil and gas reserves across 5.5 million acres in the Eagle Ford Shale in South Texas, natural gas-rich regions in Oklahoma and Arkansas and elsewhere. That’s more than third of its energy reserves across the globe.The splintered company still would be owned by BP...but it would operate from an independent location in Houston separate from its North American headquarters on Westlake Park Boulevard in Houston. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swtsig Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 how about here: http://www.houstonarchitecture.com/haif/forum/27-general-houston-discussions/ BP doesn't have a thing to do with the Galleria so why would it belong in this subforum of all places? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chill, man. It's not the Galleria subforum, it's the West Loop/Galleria/Uptown/Memorial subforum. The current BP Americas HQ campus is on Memorial Drive, so it seemed like a reasonable place for it (since we surprisingly don't have an Energy Corridor subforum). If the mods want to move it somewhere else, I'm happy. Edited March 4, 2014 by Houston19514 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H-Town Man Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Since it's their AMerican Onshore COmpany, they should call it AMOCO. I just came up with that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LTAWACS Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 If they locate to EC or The wood lands I propose their moniker be SprawlOCo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livincinco Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 If they locate to EC or The wood lands I propose their moniker be SprawlOCo. Actually, given that the rest of their offices are located in the EC, they would be keeping their offices together if they located there and would be SprawlOCo if they located in Downtown and made people drive between them. Of course, they might put the buildings 270 feet away from each other and make people walk between them. That would clearly be unacceptable.
