living on an oil rig is no fun
Which oil rigs have you lived on?
As an FDO I worked 15 on/15 off in the BP Forties for six months in the "summer" of 1980 - on an accom. rig that was alongside Forties Charlie. We worked 18 hours a day, were fed very well, and had 2 man cabins that were OK. The crack was good, the food excellent - so much so that I put on 20 lbs!
We had a resident 365 pilot who seemed pretty happy with his 7 on/7 off. The guys I felt sorry for were the Bristows S61 drivers who flew ex-Dyce three times a day.
Guys on the West African rigs did have a lousy time, admitted.
