That's what happened here in Trinidad and Tobago. You gave your life for them and they cut you loose like ur nothing

im gonna go out on a limb and say it was diamond, I worked for them too and you said it best.

Was thinking about working on rigs doing electrical maintenance what's your advice about it and what industry did you move on to👍

James mackay i actually do electrical maintanance on oil rigs, among other things. Depending on your nationality/area, there might be big differences. Here in Norway, most companies are hiring atm.

@@NorwegianCrazyGuy ah really that's great! Good timing 😂 yeah I was thinking about getting the ogtap apprenticeship seems like it's the only way into the industry really. I've wanted to be an electrician for a while now but just recently I've looked at going offshore do you recommend it or is there a better alternative. And also how's the money if u don't mind me asking BC I've heard alot of different numbers

Piers Morgan like clams And other mollusks?

@@KazzArie Bivalves are a class of the phylum Mollusca which include snails or any other shelled creature. The class Bivalvia has more than 15,000 species characterized by a shell that is divided from front to back into left and right valves and are connected to one another at a hinge. Bivalves include clams, oysters, scallops and mussels that you see in this clip. But each have very different colonisation preferences and it is more common to see oysters colonise the seabed rather than vertical structures like a jack-up rigs legs but for mussels its a perfect habitat. In fact mussel farms use lengths of rope suspended through the water column to farm mussels colonies..

Thanks, great information. Never knew anything about how some of the rigs function. Very interesting. And thanks to the other guys for the info on the sea critters.

Piers Morgan I always wondered why some clam vent holes goes down to two or three instead of just a single one. Interesting stuff!

Piers Morgan , I for one appreciate it when someone goes to the trouble of uploading a comrehensive answer to a question. It’s so refreshing to come across people that know their shit. 👍

@paul beenis its still dangerous it can be used recently and the air quality can still be really low

Mick mcintosh there was a video of somebody who bought an underground nuclear ICBM launch bunker and was turning into a home. On their initial exploration the voice of the guy filming went all high pitched due to some kind of explosive gas from a similar situation. If I find the video, I’ll add another comment. They thankfully got air quality detectors for their next trip inside and eventually used big pipes to ventilate the air from the surface.

@@a20axf a cheap co2 sensor is pretty much all you need

@@johndowe7003 So you would trust your life to a cheap co2. We use a gas monitor which checks for 4 different gases and we use 2 of these as 1 is lowered in first for a while and we also carry 45 and 15 minute escape sets for confined spaces.

I was thinking the same thing. I work in the oil and gas industry and I serve as a confined space entry supervisor. There could be hazards in certain spaces.

@Capt P I just watched another video on the princess with a "review" posted on the wall about people being moved to newer positions and one guy being good but overall the cabins being "absolute shit holes" LMAO 😂 I never was at sea but worked under OXY in Colorado.. got fired after an idiot broke OSHA regs and blew me up.. they waited a month after I came back said I was under performing (when I still had lift limitations of course) and let me go

It must be surreal for you to have seen the rig you worked on, mothballed and silent. I went back to a firehouse where I was stationed in the 90s for 2 years. The house was basically mothballed, just an on-site caretaker. It was very strange to walk through this huge building that used to be so full of life and activity. I can only imagine the strangeness was magnified for you on this oil rig.

It was moored up at the Isleburn Pier for it's nuclear instalment and system checks as it's one of the only ports in the region that can support the carrier. The new Elizibeth class has been in commission since 2017.

It was probably in a similar state when it was operating. Looks like everything's still there. The thing could go another 20 years with some inspections, cleaning and repairs/replacements nodoubt!

@@ExploringtheUnbeatenPath yes, but we had such a great time on this thing:-)

They just got out of jail

Im wondering the same thing

Why not?

Who knows

Came up on mine too, no doubt as I watch videos by IKS here in the UK. They get linked together by the KZfaq software.

Most oil platforms are up to 40 years old.

They have to become way inefficient after 40 years. Too much maintenance also

@Jeff Rasberry that's pretty cool. What are you doing now, old man?

@Jeff Rasberry if you're not too old you should give programming a shot. It's good for the mind, and requires nothing but your wit and diligence to learn it. It's not easy though, and you need to create an objective for yourself regarding it otherwise it'll feel like it's a pointless endeavor.

Cold stack. Dry stack is out of the water.

Damn right. Well if their lift cost is 15 dollars a barrel and they are getting 60 or 70 producing 10s of 1000s of bbl per day it's no wonder they sink so much cash in so fast!

hardergamer sounds like someone could make a really good book, film, tv series on rigs. The stories must be amazing. A couple hundred men, all working long shifts in the middle of the sea, miles from land.

In the 90s, surely not! Must be 80s(?) Too many regs by the 90s. I haven't heard anything like this North Sea... the transalaskan PL yes but North Sea has been tight as a nut since... forever!

@anonymous one the gay erotica is not a subject people are comfortable with on this channel. Please refrain. Thank you

I haven't heard a homophobic statement yet from these guys. LBGTQ people are the least of the worlds problems.

Seeing as you can’t get a flight out to a rig unless you’ve done a Helicopter Escape Underwater Training (HEUT) course and a basic offshore induction and emergency training (BOSIET) course. And that Bristow will log ever passenger. I doubt this story could even happen today,

I know as i am an OIM on such rigs, in short the boss of the rig, similar to the captain of a ship

I got the impression that they had opened some of the locks and then they turn around with the camera and they're like oh look an open door it strikes me as incredibly unlikely that any doors are ever left unlocked. All the padlocks were top-of-the-line super expensive Abus.

@paul beenis yeahh I know, I watch the lock-picking lawyer too. The point I was trying to make, not very successfully, is that when companies spend money on expensive padlocks they don't accidentally leave doors unlocked.

@paul beenis sorry Paul I used voice dick taking software, I've gone back an edited the original so it makes some sense. Thx

steeelo - This guy rigs...

Thatd be a good idea.

What u eat barnicles?

@@Boojyman anything you can catch with a fishing pole.

Sounds nice, but an oil rig would be a beacon for anyone else that survives. Which means you'd have groups of people try to take it for themselves. If you're by yourself then your kind of fucked. Similarly, to prevent the rig from sinking into the ocean it's got to be maintained. One person doing this without an equipment is going to suck and take up most of your valuable time. That could be used to grow food, ensure a clean water supply and find a way to get power. Although having the rig up with power on at night would be a terrible idea. I should also mention you really are going to need that power to have drinkable water. The oil rig will likely have a desalination system of some kind such as an RO system that will need power to work. How will you get power though? You can't just start digging a hole in the ocean and hope to strike oil. Even if you did, you wouldn't be able to use the crude oil to power any generators. Oil rigs depend on shipments of diesel to power their generators so good luck keeping those running without anyone bringing in a fresh supply of fuel. You could set up some solar panels, but they might get blown away if poorly installed or not work very well since the sea is an excellent location for clouds to favor. If you do manage to get solar panels to work then they would only power up a handful of things. Growing food outside also seems like a good idea. Until you realize that you will need to bring in a large amount of soil to grow anything. Also the salty spray from the ocean will result in a lot of your crops to just straight up die. If you do have good salt resistant crops then you'll be hard pressed to keep them alive during high winds or storms. Imagine trying to survive a hurricane in the ocean with a poorly maintained oil rig. Let's say you manage to have a large group on board. Those problems will just multiply with more people needing food, water, and a safe shelter. Overall, oil rigs make for a poor choice of refuge during an apocalypse. They will certainly do well during the early stages and ensure no zombies can reach you. That is, if zombies can't swim otherwise your in trouble. The chaos of the zombie event can give you enough time to reach the oil rig and occupy it before anyone else. Additionally, there should be some food, fuel, water and electricity to keep you going for a short amount of time before it's wise to abandon the rig.

Had you ever been to the town these are located in you’d be convinced that had already begun!

@Keith M its not pool its snooker

@Keith M snooker on a small scale yes reg tables are huge can i imagine gett a full sized snooker table up there,, lol

It is definetely a rectangular pool table I don't get how people can't see this

@@aoibhinnomahony7712 that's not snooker. That's not the way you rack the balls in pool or snooker. In fact I have never seen anyone rack a game backwards and think it's correct.

@@aoibhinnomahony7712 it's neither pool or snooker. It's called blackball, but they still racked them the wrong way round

The Ocean Nomad, Ocean Princess, and Ocean Vanguard rigs out there are, after being sold to GMS they tried to send them to Bangladesh for scraping.

Good times. You were luckily born and made the right decision at the right time. Congrats... now the industry is in its knees in the uk :(

why? rapeage?

No not just lack of oxygen, the dangerous part is accumulation of toxic gases like methane & carbon dioxide which are present when a space has not had any fresh air in a very long time. It’s particularly an issue with caves but precautions should be taken in any confined space. At least wear an air quality monitoring device.

Or a corona virus outbreak😂

Thanks a lot Jonathan ! I explore for over 10 years but only recently started making full video's, because i noticed there's a lack of really good exploring video's ( I still have to learn a lot though and i have no budget yet, so it can only become better)

Thanks man ! A lot of cool trips coming up (USA, Japan, Baltic States, Myanmar, Thailand)

It is fun when they bring us to these off the path videos....

Thanks, i personally like the more decayed locations more :) This was like walking in an active place, haha

I think they opened the windows up

I'm not sure what they could have been hit with, we have no formal trespass laws in Scotland, they didn't break & enter, really all they can be chased for is civil damages to the rig, which I suppose they could try to charge them with setting a bbq.

Yeah, I read that article on big black clock.
