Hi Slim :)
I was stationed as an a**. derrickman at the Bredford Dolphin, a semi submersible, drilling straight searching holes in the north sea. Now I´m back onshore, looking forward to three years at the university learning more.. continuing within drilling/well intervention, on- or offshore is yet to be seen. Very pleased to have access to this "real life" drilling site with all you experienced guys and your knowledge! :)
