Lat/Longs for North Sea or GOM rigs

I've been cruising round Google Earth recently and trying (for fun!) to locate some helipads on rigs. Given a lack of success thus far, can anyone start us off with a few lat/longs to check?

This is a zipped file, giving more info than you want to know about platforms in the Gulf of Mexico, including lat & lon. It's from the US Minerals Management Service. The US government makes all sorts of information available for free, including the data on all airports, navaids, intersections, etc for the entire country if you want that.

UK sector fixed platforms are published in the UK AIP, Enroute 5.4, Air Navigation Obstacles offshore, see www.ais.org.uk (you have to register but it's free).
