25 years of rust, in the North sea.
in Oil and Gas
Here, are two images 25 years apart.
The images are of the "pig launchers", on the cellar deck of the BP Miller platform,
one while the platform was being commissioned, and put together,
and the second, while decommissioning.
Thanks

Offshore, oil and gas rig catering crew.
Today we meet, the small team involved in feeding and looking after all 80 workers, on a North Sea oil and gas platform.
These guys do a fantastic job, with such a small team in cleaning, preparing meals and trying to keep moral high for a large crew of guys. Who are working hard in all weathers, away from home for long periods, missing their families.
It is un-measurable their involvement, but any rig worker will tell you, that a clean accommodation and a good hearty meal, makes for a happy crew.
Roast beef, and Yorkshire puddings... must be Sunday!
BP Miller decommissioning core crew.

This fine body of men....
Are one half of the Petrofac core crew involved with the mammoth task of decommissioning and removing a north sea oil rig. While this crew is offshore, our opposite numbers are at home on leave.
This group is made up of the management, technical authorities, and lead technicians, that are required on board to keep a rig running safely.

The above, were the Petrofac offshore management for the project, all with different attributes and experiences, but all shared one key value - people skills.
You can be the most knowledgeable leader, but if your team are not supporting you, then you might as well give up.
These gents led by example, with integrity, and support. When the chips were down, could pick the whole team back up. Inspirational.
Now we called in back to backs and so all the core crew now on board, for the task of shutting down the platform. A mammoth task, completed with safety at the forefront and ahead of the schedule.
