He also tried to push a regulation in Congress that would have required offshore rigs to have a work boat nearby.


What's the rationale for this? Those rigs get serviced by OSV's don't they?

Money, he has an opensecrets profile from his time in Congress. Workboat companies were his biggest contributors. It was one of the reasons why he lost to Boustany in 2012.
He actually had a lot of O&G support prior to this. Remember his "Drilling=Jobs" sign? He basically did a 180 after getting his contributions from the International Seafarer Union and some contractors. He even co sponsored the bill with liberal Elijah Cummings.
