Cool video. Does anyone know if there are any more like this; walking around a 'rig in the middle of a winter storm? If I ever worked on a rig; it would be so I could do exactly-that.
I’d never worked on these jobs or industry. There are so many components, complicated and just surrounded by metals and restrictive hallways where you cant fuck around or bang onto something hard that’ll be painful lol and the bad weather, being in the middle of the ocean…nahhh
What is the name of this rig? I worked the SEDCO 709 in the 70’s. Plenty of adrenaline moments. A “C clip “ that retained the gears on the crane let go. The boom and riser pipe crashed onto the deck of supply ship in heavy seas. The crane operator started climbing the rails to jump off thinking the whole crane was going into the ocean. At the last second he realized it was just the boom going over. 😂
Are all those doors water tight doors? Have to say Kenneth, wow... much respect. Stormy seas is my idea of a nightmare lol.. gives me anxiety just looking at this! :D
Andrew Bedford Hey Andrew how hard is it to get onto these offshore rigs for employment? right now I'm finishing commercial diving academy and hope afterwards I can work on one of these for awhile.
Hey man that's a pretty good skill too have. It's good to have BOSIET training. Though it is expensive and often provided by a company anyway. Just keep looking for opportunities with diving company's. The industry is in a bit of a down turn at the moment. So maybe better opportunities will be available in the future
Strangely I knew an alcoholic who used to work on Oil Rigs [1970's],[UK]..he never was allowed to drink there, so maybe that was why he liked it [no temptation] On shore again, he succumbed to alcoholism, and died, a young man of barely 40 yrs. He earned good money on the rigs.
I'd love to be on that rig curled up in my bunk, high on Percocet, maybe a whiskey to sip on, and watching tv, with a little window to look out of. That would be so damn relaxing.
It was the *“high off Percocet”* for me…😂😂 couldn’t agree more my friend, couldn’t agree more!!! Although…mixing blues with alcohol (especially as strong as whiskey) is a recipe for an OD..just keep that in mind when you finally get out there on one of these beasts! lol
Too bad you wouldnt be there in there bc these companies do drug tests. You think they want to chance some junkie around all that dangerous and very expensive equipment?
Maybe for you, Mr. I Have No Clue How To Fudge a Drug Test. You really think every single worker on a rig, in hospitals, construction sites are clean? Lol you gots lots of learning to do, bud
women can work offshore too . women have to be strong like a men to work in the men field line of works they do in there line of work... A man is much stronger that of the woman. In my younger days i work like a man in my life and now i am disable because of it. let the men do the hard work and they can take it....thank you for the show of offshore on the oil rigs.. i am proud of all people who work in the oil fields on land and on the seas and oceans..
I had no idea where all that ''mud'' came from, was not expecting to see that roiling Sea..bloody hell, looks dangerous, no wonder they don't allow alcohol or [according to an ex rig worker I knew] ..you'd need a clear head in those situations.
Maybe others like me thought that they must abandon the rigg at extreme storm times. I can see why they don't do that. They apparently must make adjustments during such a time. I wonder how much extra pay $$ they get to do this. Must be training. Must be extremely dangerous.
The types of generating energy has to be at par with nature, it is determined by years of engineering expertise as well as administration of its employees.
I was a seagull for some rigs. Onshore engineering support. I would fly in - only in flat calm weather. Eat their food, crap all over them and fly out. Hence a seagull. Aka remf lol lucky for some.
Plenty of women work offshore and have done for decades. I did seven years as a geologist working on semi-subs and drillships and know that it's not a particularly hazardous job overall. Getting to and from the rigs on helicopters is probably the most dangerous part.
drumtravelfun It’s not a myth. It’s just misunderstood. I think it’s like a 9% gap. Gender only accounts for a small fraction of that percent. There are other factors like agreeability. Watch Jordan Peterson’s recent interview on channel 4. He explains it perfectly.
Women want to be paid equally for doing the same job as men. No female surgeon is complaining about the wages of male roustabouts, but she may have a beef with a male surgeon making significantly more than her. When I worked at Transocean, many people in the Houston offices, safe and sound- men and women alike- made more than the workers offshore. How does your logic explain this?
There are women that work on these rigs too, you know... ....and they are paid SIGNIFICANTLY less than men. So STFU. You probably like Jordan Peterson, huh? Alleviates your guilt a bit? That's what he's best at.
geez, imagine slipping on that wet metal...to that ice cold water...makes me want to go outside and kiss the earth
hahaha same thought.what a miserable death that would be.
The worst part is nobody would be coming to save you and if they did you’d already be dead😬
Looks fun down there. Like a full in water park
