Ome time I watched the rov pilots try to pull a monkey's fist thru an eye in a line for like 30+ hours that's when I understood why they all vape so much

Can you tell me a little about how you got into that position and I what prior experience you had? I’ve always been very interested in working as a mud engineer.

I know a guy who, on a dare, stuck his arse out between the rails on the edge of the platform to drop a turd forty feet in to the water, and he did, but he also blew out a disc in his back.
Don’t do that. Even if someone dares you. Just don’t.

You still working for a company that does offshore work? I’d love to speak privately if you’re willing.
We have a couple of deepwater rigs in the US GOM and some shelf work in Mexico. Like everyone else, most of our focus is on the land markets.

You going on a platform or rig?

They let you have a full beard? I thought that’s a safety issue with the respirators.
Worst thing offshore was doing night shift and then having the evacuation/emergency drills right after falling asleep having to lug the respirator and sit in the rescue boats sweating my arse off in the 100 degree heat.

By platform I’m guessing you mean production platform as opposed to offshore drilling rig?
To my knowledge we’ll be on a platform.

This is important. If you're not sure about something, don't be embarrassed to ask for help. It's better to swallow your pride and ask rather than the possibility of you getting yourself and others hurt, or worse.

If you get assigned to a lifefloat and have to actually use it, get in the center where the net is...hopefully the sharks will get full eating the people on the outside. If it's in the winter, don't worry about getting in the center, you're gonna die from hypothermia anyway.

If hes going on a rig, the only thing I know to tell him is to make sure he never forgets to put booties on his steel toe shoes before he goes in the galley for whatever fricking reason

My main experience is on land, but there’s some questions I’d like to ask in general that I’m not comfortable asking here.
We have some mutual friends I believe, right?

You dont know which one?
I only worked on production platforms but caught a connecting flight on a rig once....the platform vibe is way more relaxed. You can tell a rig is more urgent.

Yea I mean production platform. Everything I would tell you has already been posted. Good luck.
Posted on 4/8/19 at 10:12 pm to Corkfather
Just to clarify some terminology....a platform can have a drilling rig installed on it.
The deepwater terms are platforms, drill ships, or floaters.
