“Intriguing. So you think this could fall apart fast? “
It could. You just don’t know how many critical sleeper maintenance guys the oil companies are leaving behind. If you are a maintenance guy getting paid the same (or less) under Hugo it’s pretty easy to neglect a pump here or there, especially if a company guy throws you a few bucks. “Oh that bearing is special order from the U.S., it will take two weeks.”
Management and engineering will split quickly because Hugo will be sucking out the money that would go to bonuses. If the companies that stay in a nationalized environment don’t have high profits, they have no incentive to pay good wages. And Hugo needs the maintenance fund capital to support his little tin army. So, given there was already turmoil and a drop in production the last couple of years, there’s nothing to keep the oil flowing.

Just don’t try my life at home kids :)
