    Nowadays they are decommissioning some of this kit, and they are picking up the entire topside onto one vessel and transporting it to shore for scrap, forty years and a whole generation of specialist massive rigs later.

    Wow. Nostalgia! Is it possible for me to use and share this footage on my youtube page? I share footage from all kind of activities on our ocean. Cargo ships in the 1960s till now, oil rigs, fishing vessels, etc. Of course full credit will be given to the owner of the footage. Looking forward to your reply. Kind regards. Cheers.

      I have no issues. It does not belong to me. The video was produced written and directed for Mobil by Michael Forlong. I found it on a video CD disc and uploaded it to TH-cam. I thought it might be of interest to others. Note: I think there was a copyright issue on some of the music but as I do not generate income it has not been a problem.

      @roberthelmsly1 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Did he have glasses? I can picture him if it’s the same guy. Remember a few guys, one of the drillers was Tommy Adams, Pancho Hernandez’s think he was the assistant driller, Arthur the store man, Peter Alphabet gave out the cabins, Martin Boyle was one of the medics, the camp bosses were Mike Scott and Mike fletcher, big Matt the head chef. You had a good laugh back then, not like that now. So glad I finished up last year, 35 years is long enough.

      I used to work on the Beryl Alpha 1990 to 2007 and watch the tankers connect in all weathers. Occasionally we had trips over to SPM 2 & 3 to carry inspection work. SPM 1 had an unfortunate incident a few years earlier when it floated away. The Maersk Rover standby boat was sometimes used to pick up the SPM messenger line.
