I was there 99-00, a long time ago but other than Mama Lulu's and the other commercial concerns accessed through the turnstile gate being evicted I doubt much has changed. 28/28, high hours shuttling between platforms/jackets, booze only available via the black market. Food variable but plentiful. Gym, squash and basketball courts, lots of people jog up and down the one road that runs the length of the camp.

I was in a 212 as night standby, stayed overnight and returned to Warri each morning. Pan African had the main Chevron contract. Some of the pilots had been there 20+ years and had over 25,000 hours on 206 ! Many of the engineers were long term too. When OLOG came in and then Bristow Group had it a lot of the older guys left.

Much water under the bridge since then..... but it's a camp in the bush so there can't be much they can alter !
