DUC North Sea

People often ask what it is like working offshore, but the answer can range from the simple one liner to the complexities of the industry. In years gone by it was a tough life indeed with little privileges. If the rig was stand alone, working on exploration or "Wild Cat" the bears were lucky to get a ship to shore phone call home only once a week, with the tarrif in the region of six pounds per minute. Not good if you are a family man with young kids. These issue's always raised tensions. Fortunately conditions have changed for the better with excellent facilities to keep the troops amused. And the Internet off course.
