North Sea Oil Rig

That's gonna be a no from me dog. I can't fathom working on something like this:
"An oil worker in the North Sea has captured incredible footage of a floating oil rig. The largest and deepest offshore platform ever built called “Troll A” stands at about 303 m bellow sea level, and had a total height of 472m."
Largest Oil Rig - North Sea

Viking dudes went through that in handmade longboats.
Sometimes.
Sometimes not.

That video appears to be Borgholm Dolphin.

I've been on a few North sea platforms. It ain't for the faint of heart. I had the pleasure of visiting the Aasta Hansteen in the northern Norwegian waters. Largest SPAR platform. Really impressive platform.

That video was edited for dramatic effect
Well my link won't work, look in the replies to that tweet for the unedited version.
The real video is much less impressive

Spent some time out there as well. It can be very rough out there. They would joke about the gulf platforms shutting down for hurricanes.

It's less impressive but I still don't want any part of that.

North Sea Oil Rig
Yeah I haven't changed my mind about not stepping foot on that rig
I would guess you have to be strapped in at all times on something like that? Friends and I re-roofed my house in '08 and I wouldn't get up there without being roped in. Granted it was an 8/12 or 9/12 pitch but it wasn't an oil rig thats for sure.

I'm sick thinking about working on that... I will say, engineering genius whoever designed that thing.

There is another video of a calmer time there. That does not mean this part did not exist.

That really wasn't that bad.
No, that's not Troll A that's a floating platform.

A hand would need jumbo truck nuts to work that.
