Life On The World's BIGGEST Offshore Oil Rig Platform 

Sure is. How often did you get robbed by pirates?

@@cyndiwyatt6751 Im guessing never.

​​​@@cyndiwyatt6751 highly doubt that ever happened. Pirates running their crappy boats arent going to be able to get up on a rig like that from the water. Also they tend to target other ships, these people fly in. Also alot of people work on these oil rigs, im sure they have safety protocol for all kinds of situations.

I’m very impressed with the engineers that designed this rig. I often think to myself, how did they know to put those dials there or how did they know to (…). We humans are smarter than we give credit.

genuinely curious, does the rubber has a special layer on its inner layer to prevent the rubber from getting damaged or wrinkled or anything else due to any special circumstances? since rubber would likely got weathered in time so im curious how it developed for this certain function.

it's amazing! almost a reflection of ant's working together but in human form

@@ARDG89 no. ants aren't building monster machines of engineering perfection

Glad you liked it!

old school.....respect Sir

That's badass. Stay safe.

Nah more like $60,000 entry level to $600k

I'm a machinist. I'd love a job on a rig. How do I go about doing so.

@@erikgrahn3363 assuming you’re in the US… Gulf of Mexico is experiencing a “tempered” boom of sorts. Whip up a resume and submit it to every entry level position that piques your interest. Lookup online how to get your TWIC card and be able to pass a drug screen at a moments notice, you’ll be scooped up in no time.

What does one get paid for doing this job? Just simply curiosity tbh

@@smokey213 Normally you have to have atleast a year on land rigs before you can ever apply but past experience can open a door for you depending on the field inwhich you are trying to get. When I was first hired I was making $32 US and hour, when I left I was on salary at that point and with out bonuses and such I was pulling in 156k a year. The more experience you can get in the field you wish or want to have the better. College, Field experience etc all plays a part in what you make and how far you can take it.

Can you please tell me how often the pirates have robbed any of these rigs? Or if a rig Carrie’s 500 grand or more on board

What do you think porous means

No holiday offshore 😊

I expect they're much like military barracks. Because you only use it to sleep I imagine quarters for 8-12 persons each.

@@AudieHolland no, they are much better, they are only for two persons and have a TV

This video is Russian Propaganda living is probably miserable on board. Don't believe me go back and rewatch. Its oddly self mastrabatory...

not much to see, single beds, either 1 or 2 person rooms (older platforms have more people per room) with a bathroom/shower shared by adjoining room (again exceptions for older rigs). Generally like a cheap-ish hotel, but clean and tidy, with free food, wifi, laundry, etc. 2 person rooms usually have one person working, another sleeping, so you get the room to yourself at the end of your shift. You're not there forever, as everyone works on a rotation of some sort, say, 4 weeks on, 4 off, or, as in Norway, 2 weeks on, 4 weeks off...

i didn't play it, but watched 8 bit ryan play it.

Word

Thank you!

Glad you enjoyed it

applying to a technical school or knowing somebody

@@fearscanty4894 l don't have any connections, only a technical education, l don't know what the chances of a foreigner's employment will be after graduation

@@евгенийиванов-т1г if you are going to a technical school your professors should have experience in the field, but a technical degree is worth gold nowadays you can get hired pretty quick. down here in houston im doing a 9 month program for industrial maintenance and im expected to start working the week after i graduate

@@fearscanty4894 congratulations, it's great to work in such a company, gain experience and grow up the career ladder !!! I am still finishing my secondary technical education and i want to enroll in higher education in absentia to study and work , but I have not yet decided on a profession, there is still time to think, now I work as a pipeline installer

Search for the jobs and apply. You may not get the job the first few tries but you might with persistence. My first job working offshore was at the age of 18 in the Gulf of Mexico back in 2006ish.

As a seafarer you may have a better chance joining an FPSO. They have marine crews.

Excellent point! It was partially broken and the operators and the company knew that. They just continued until they got too careless and history tells us the rest of that story.

@@FiveBlackFootedFerretsthe USCB channel has an amazing animated play by play of the Deepwater Horizon event if you're into that kind of thing, I can't recommend it enough!

I was sure that petroleum is a hydrocarbon. Hydrocarbons are hydrogen and carbon fused together through heat and pressure, which comes ready-made by earth for us to extract and use. We then split these hydrocarbons for energy upon combustion: hydrogen and carbon are both released as fuel for plants to grow and thrive. Pants absorb this back into the earth and the cycle repeats itself. On this basis, petrolium is the greenest, most abundant renewable liquid on earth after water, and it will almost certainly never run out. The lies everyone has been fed about oil, gas, coal etc have been used for centuries by very small, albeit powerful, groups of people who have huge stakes in maintaining a monopoly on that power and control over governments and people. Pricing a barrel of oil is like putting a price on a barrel of water - it's impossible because it is superabudant. Create the perception of scarcity, however, and you can charge people whatever you want. If you can do that, you can yeild huge influence in shaping the way the world is run and governed by inculcating certain political ideologies. Such belief systems often bear no relation to actual fact or objective reality. In fact, it is the rule rather than exception that if you take a government policy or so-called "scientific fact" and flip it 180°, you will reach the truth of the matter. British philosopher, Bertrand Russell, went to some length in explaining how mass psychology (i.e. brainwashing) would be "the most important tool politically in the 21st century" in his book The Impact of Science on Society.

who?

Ok.......and then

4.04 - 4.27

@@thestu4602 I can not understand what the numbers mean. It does not matter any more to me now.

They are timestamps for the video, might be useful in the future to know

@@micshaz that show how it attached to the seabed? They show that?

It was Parker Drilling but now it would be a Russian company

That’s bc she’s not.

stay

It doesn’t float, it’s fixed to the sea bed…

​@@Thegreenpig22it's almost like some folks don't watch the video

I do 21 days on and 21 days off in the Gulf of Mexico. There’s several platforms that big in the gulf. I’m in a drill ship. Fly to and from shore via helicopter or travel by boat.

you got it well I think. .

14 days on 28 days off for us in Norway.

Deepwater or remote locations are usually 28 / 28 day rotas w 12 hour shifts. Good food, generally

@@chriscarbaugh3936 I would not want to do that. glad the food is good .You got one thing good to look forward to. nope not for me. Thanks.
