Episode Synopsis
This transcript details a speaker's experiences working in offshore oil production, contrasting safety and maintenance procedures with onshore practices. The speaker recounts a trip to an offshore oil platform, highlighting differences in safety protocols, equipment testing, and regulatory oversight. Significant losses from hurricanes and subsequent insurance challenges led to the sale of the offshore assets. The speaker also shares anecdotes about platform life, including the unusual use of field gas in fire-suppression systems and a chiropractic adjustment received on the platform. Finally, the presentation contrasts the rapid response of offshore fire pumps with the less responsive systems employed onshore.
