Mark,
Sorry to hear that this whole recession thing sucks. However I am in the oil industry consulting for a French major (no name mentioned) and although we have dropped a few wells from our 09 - 10 program there seems to be no affect so far. That being said I know our contractors are feeling the pinch, however when oil was at $140/bbl they went crazy on equipment and personnel, now they are sitting with a lot of kit not working and dropping men like hot bricks. So in a nutshell as far as I am concerned no it has not directly affected me.
