  Had tears in my eyes watching this again 45 Years after the Tow-Out in 1978- as so many of those seen have since passed away. Just had the news that all 3 platforms will be removed from the face of the earth by 2028. Don’t know how the 600,000 Ton Central will be moved as it is a rather unique design. My experience as a contract computer field engineer started in the late 70’s and progressed through 6 job changes and as many ownerships from Chevron to Kerr-McGee, Canadian Natural Resources, Oryx Energy , Maersk etc . More than just 3 Platforms - The giant Central collected Pipelines from Ninian Northern (24" oil pipeline); Ninian Southern (24" oil pipeline); Strathspey (8" and 10" oil pipelines); Heather (16" oil pipeline); Magnus (24" oil pipeline); Alwyn (12" oil pipeline);Lyell (12" and 8" oil pipeline). This allowed over 300,000 Barrels a day to flow to the Sullom Voe Oil Terminal. The Crew had to be a mixed-bag as the film states, as we have to take care of every eventuality. Chevron loved ex-forces personnel who came as ready-made fire-fighters, medics, emergency response, air-crew, mechanics - and ICI & Mining Techs that were qualified in electrical safety in explosive atmospheres. Aside from the obvious hazards of gas and oil, we compressed gas to 300 Bar to export LPG, injected water to reservoir at 250 Bar, produced electricity at 11,000 Volts; handled explosives for well perforations and radioactivity for survey and inspection work . Whoever is your personal ‘supreme being’- who created the Earth - they certainly didn’t make it easy to find where they had hidden this treasure. 100 Miles out to sea, 500 feet of water and then 10,000 feet underground between faults and fractures - but we found it and delivered it. Proud to have been a small part of it, but equally glad that the World has moved on to more renewable energy. Remember, however, that over the half the hydrocarbons in each discovery are still down there , as the expense of recovering the rest does not justify the efforts. Crew members of the Ninian Field are still in touch socially , although some of us are getting rather old now.

  I worked for John Crane Mechanical Seals/Elf Enterprise and it was my job to keep the mechanical seals on the pumps going night and day. I enjoyed working out there for a few years after hook up, there was always something happening. Glad you enjoyed the video John.

  How top heavy and poorly supported is this record breaking monster with 280 men right next door to the huge production facilities...You wouldnt dare house an community next to an potentially explosive petro-chemical plant and whats more the law doesnt even allow you to...Why have men onboard this rig why not an separate facility?...Youve learnt nothing since Piper Alpha because another death trap has just been launched...!!
