It was all the buddah amulets they tied around the shaft that finally did it.

The company I am with is required by government regulations to use local labor for the majority of rig personnel on projects within territorial waters of many countries... We may have 4 - 6 company men on board running the job, but the locals do all the heavy lifting...

As far as SOP on authority, the contractor does what the operator tells them to do, period... The operator is responsible for geology, targets, well design, casing & cementing programs, liner options, logging and on and on... The operator runs the job by telling the contractor what to do... If a problem arises, you bet your sweet ass the contractor's on board supervisor will defer to the operator for a decision...

Having said that, I haven't found any info on well ops when the blowout occurred...

Yes we are the same, by law we must employ so many locals. I think we run at around 96% at the moment

^ It all boils down to workpermits the 'local" labout board will only issue for certain positions, they are not going to issue work permits for Pommy roughnecks in Thailand as they know these positions can be filled on the local market, the cut of point comes at various levels, dependent on the country you are in.

Jack ups are haing a rough time as off late, They didnt have a lot of leg left anyway! :-

As this thread is mainly off interest to "Rig Hands" please give a thought to 91 off our colleagues who died 20 years ago this week in the Gulf of Thailand, gone but not forgotten, some good hands went down with her...........

Seacrest Drillship DisasterOn November 3rd, 1989, the drillship Seacrest was caught in the middle of Typhoon Gay and capsized. The official number of crew lost was 91, but there were many conflicting reports about the number of fatalities and the number of survivors. The Seacrest was 110 metres long and owned by UNOCAL. The tragedy happened in the Platong gas field, in the Gulf of Thailand.

The aftermath













For those who don't know the PTTEP Wellhead is on the left side (foreground) of the last pic with the West Atlas Jack Up owned by SeaDrill on the right of the pic on the 3 big legs. Note the Drilling Rigs derrick has gone, it now swims with the fishes. I presume the drilling rig in the background is the West Triton which is the one that broke it's tow line that inspired the original thread, also owned by SeaDrill.

Thais should be banned from doing business anywhere in the world except for somalia or nigeria.

At least the helipad survived.

Bet all Knobsy's pvc pipe has melted.

Yes, I bet.

Of course the fact that the helipad isn't on the platform and I have nothing to do with piping on PTTEP platforms doesn't stop you and your halfwitted quips does it?

that's not a platform dickface, that's a jack up rig.

The platform is on the left and I'd told 'those that don't know' that already.

You are obviously in a group of lower intelligence.

To who? Not to me it doesn't, a platform is a permanent structure, along side it is a temporary Jack Up (Drilling Rig). The drilling rig doesn't look anything like a wellhead platform. But then again, it is you we are talking to.

Go stand on it, I bet it's still hot and warped.

Onsite Work Plans
Onsite work plans (procedures) will be developed for each major task or portion of the project. Work plans will include special safety precautions and/or contingencies to be in place before initiating the task or portion of the project. Major portions of the project are anticipated to include:
  • Initial site inspection and setup of H2S & CH4 detection & respiratory protective equipment
  • “Clamshell” cutting operations for 30” riser
  • RU & Installation of diverter lines, spools, valves, etc.
  • Wire-line operations
  • Well-testing operations
  • Ongoing evaluation of gas detection & respiratory protective equipment as and where required for various phases of the project
Note: A Risk Assessment Matrix has been conducted on all of the above listed operations / work plans. This Risk Assessment Matrix was a joint collaboration between TOTAL, MOO, and WWCI, and is contained in a separate document.

This would have helped in capping the well especially diverter lines and associated spools and equipment.
Dont ask about the rest of this document as it is the responsibility of a major oil company this was in 2008 platform is back on line and producing however a lot of money was lost and a lot of the client staff moved. the drillers are Saipem, the client Saipem and the insurance are responsible for the loss of production. It was quick thinking that prevented a full blow-out.

Knobsy actually sounds like he knows what he is talking about.

But bet he just yelled over his cubicle and asked the guy next door...'whats this bit ere then'
