OXY Joins Chevron In Moving Staff From California To Texas

Do you remember those stories about Chevron moving staff to Texas, but keeping their headquarters in San Ramon, CA?

Rigzone/Reuters is reporting that OXY is doing the same thing:
Occidental Petroleum Corp may still be headquartered in Los Angeles, as it has been since being founded nearly a century ago, but its center of gravity is shifting to Houston, capital of the U.S. energy industry.
While the fourth-largest U.S. oil company would not disclose the number of employees based in either city, a LinkedIn search reveals 286 people who list Oxy as their current employer in Los Angeles, compared with 1,491 in Houston.
Occidental's Texas presence is growing larger still. A search of 287 U.S. jobs listed by the company on www.oxy.com found 65 in Houston - ranging from senior engineers to software administrators. Most of the rest were at field operations in California and elsewhere in Texas.
As for Los Angeles, there was a single opening last month, for a security officer, and now there is one for an accountant.
And so it goes.
