Offshore

Note:Photos are not mine and are copies I found on the internet.

I found some more information on where I stayed while in Abu Dhabi offshore.  

This is the rig I worked on prior to getting installed in Abu Dhabi.  The top right of the rig is grey.  That is the compressor skid where I worked.

This is the accomodation barge that had the rooms the workers slept in.  This one held 200 people.  This is what it looks like when they move it.  The legs go down and there is a little bridge to get onto the rig.  I think it can work in like 200 ft of water, but the water was only 53 feet deep where I was working.

This is one of the rooms.  I had a top bunk.

This is the barge connected to a different rig.  This would look similar to the rigs I was working on as there were 6 or 7 rigs hooked together with bridges.
