New job

[subseastu]

DPO....Dynamic Positioning Operator / Officer? I worked in the service sector (service hand). I teach now - mainly to do with the act of drilling the well.

A lot of my offshore life has been in the North Sea, not the most interesting of places, but did spend a year offshore on a semisub in Angola - one of the three legged variety. Much of the rest of the time has been spent onshore in quite a variety of countries.

I did wonder that with a name like Subseastu that you may have been a Subsea Engineer (BOPs and all that).

If you don't mind me asking, why are they using a drillship and not a semi sub? Is it because you are in a remote setting and a long way from your supply base?

Quite a nice feeling, leaving a rig (drillship) on 23rd December but not so good for the man (your back to back) who has to work both xmas and new year.............

I picked the name subseastu due to a lack of imagination and working for subsea7 at the time!

I think the only reason its a drill ship and not a semi is Dolphin has drill ships (though this is their only DP capable one) and they won the contract. She does operate all over the world having spent time recently in india and the states.

Nothing can bring the 23rd forwards fast enough at the moment, but I am worried in case my man does a no show but I'm sure it'll be ok. It'll even out anyway as I'm due to work next xmas and new year so it all comes out in the wash.
