Life onboard a platform in the Gulf of Mexico

I spent a week in December 2008 working on BP's oil production platform "Holstein," approximately 150 mi. south of New Orleans, LA.

Barbequeing on an oil platform is major procedure. Many safey checks including a second person present with a fume meter and fire extinguisher.

Great photos. Things have changed quite a lot since I lived on a rig at Ship Shoal 182 in 1980. The galley looks great, as are the bunks. We had six in a room so small that everyone could not get out of bed at the same time. Keep these interesting photos coming.
