Can you imagine the bacteria, infections and bed bugs those platforms have? It's like a big fricking petri dish.

When I did it, I left my bags in the garage when I'd get home to be safe.

I've been on many platforms and trust me, most of them aren't that luxurious.

You may want to wait a couple years. There's close to 20000 experienced hands looking for work right now.

That type of facility represents the top 1% of the GOM oilfield.
