Lovely snaps Dadd.
I hope you ALL have a wonderful and healthy weekend - particularly those of you with families.
Enjoy each moment as each is singular - never to be repeated.

Dadd: Great pictures of "Deepwater Discovery". Thanks.

Perhaps you can confirm for our theoretician oilfield experts how these cranes are are used to dunk bashers head first at high speed, and how they are additionally used for practice with trainee crane drivers for landing loads on a service boat in rough weather, i.e. the basher risks bashing the deck or immersion.

"Offshore Rig 52" offshore Nigeria was rumored to have a long plank out over the water. That was before bashers, used to deal with these weevils that would not learn. But technology has advanced in 2006.


Stay the Course, but watch for weevils and bashers

Dadd Nice picture of Transocean's Deep H20 Delivery

Some additional specs. on the ship:

http://www.deepwater.com/fleetspecifications.cfm?ID=712

Built in 2000 it is a 10K - 30K Class Ship that is renting out to DVX and XOM for $ 167K per day until Aug 06, 2006. If it rented for just a few days the cost would be Approx $ 500k PER DAY

Read somewhere that in 2008 More New Drill Rig ships will hit the high seas then at any other time in history.

The cost to buid and rent these rigs is astronomical. Ergo we may never see $40.00 oil again.

JMHO

Dadd,
See that white paint along the bottom of the ship?
That is how much the gas pressure lifted it when they
drilled OBO1. LOL
