Could be too early to tell.

Small top sides. It's going to be the main hub with up to eight satellites surrounding it. Simple separation (removal of water and san solids) with the rest of the product going to a F.P.S.O. (floating, production, storage, offloading((Ship)). The jacket (legs) went out a month ago

I'll stick up some more pics of the pig when I get my last pay pack.

Cool.

What's your position there? I'm doing HLD on new builds in Korea, so this kinda stuff interests me.

I was on a barge while they were pile driving jackets for WHPs in the Bongkot and Arthit fields. No chance of any shut eye!

Senior night-shift construction superintendent. Basically running all trades and support on nights. It was a good job. Five months of living in Ban Chang on "The Strip" Finished at five in the morning. Got to know a few of the mamasans and they would open up the bars for me at seven. Shit, shave, shower and a bite to eat at the Camel and away we go......
Not the greatest job I've ever been on but the after work service was second to none.

sorry i'm a bit of a dunce. but what is it? oil platform?

looks fricken massive.

Yup, platform. Bit of a tiddler to be honest.

Sounds like a good gig. Never been to Ban Chang but got a stagger there in August and it's going to be a messy one.

I thought there may be more as I don't see exhausts on top or living quarters. Maybe not on yet?

A month? Not too shabby.

I have a friend who is a diver, he makes more than that in a month. Kunt.

Yeah, buy it for 'them', but will they be able to play with it or will Daddy be busy with it...

It's only one street but it's guuuud. The Camel is at the start of the strip about half way the street. The lad that owns it is called Terry. He's in the oil 'n gas game also. Top bloke.
If you get a chance go to the Warehouse and tell 'em Du-Da sent ya. You won't be let down ;-)

It has a control room but the living quarters will be a barge moored alongside.

Cheers for the info, I've heard a lot about it from my Old Boy who knows it well, and from a lot of boys living in or coming through Songkhla on crew change too. Sounds nuts.

Got anything lined up for your next project?

I've often heard the term Skyhook, but that's crazy.
What's the story there Dirk? Is it being lifted onto a platform?

Gert's birthday today she wanted a cat.
But this looked more fun.
