Hey Al,

I saw him on the news this morning walking around the rig and I was wondering if that was the rig you are on. It looks like it was. I was keeping an eye out to maybe see you but you weren't in any of the shots. The broadcast was quite short.

You oughta invite Robert, Jimmy, JPJ and Jason to come and visit, forget Obama!

just saw the story run on afn a few minutes ago, but didn't say what rig it was, just that it was a rescheduled visit that was cancelled last month...was looking for you, but no luck!!!

I actually saw myself in the background in a couple of the shots with my green shirt.I usually stay back

and assist with the Media people. Its My job to make sure they dont get hurt on thier visit .We are in a industrial enviorment.

Far out Al, that is really cool! I especially like the photo of the 2 of you at the cafeteria (or is it called commisary??) Now you have the autograph of a possible President of the United States. If you are REALLY lucky you might also get MY autograph when we meet up in 5 weeks, like Sharon mentioned. :D

Al, that is so cool! Great photos. :lol: We saw that on tv and I said to my husband, "I wonder if that guy Al from the Zep board is there?" and he laughed and said, "Do you know how many oil rigs are out in the gulf?" But your photos have proved me right. :D Many good memories for you. :)

McCain tours offshore oil rig

by The Associated Press Tuesday August 19, 2008, 3:53 PM

ABOARD THE CHEVRON GENESIS -- Republican presidential candidate John McCain visited this oil platform in the Gulf of Mexico today to call for increased offshore drilling that he says would lower the cost of food and heating homes.

http://' target="_blank">McCain traveled 130 miles by helicopter to tour the massive facility, which produces 10,000 barrels of oil each day.

Posted (edited)

Yeah 10,000 barrels a day We used to make 60,000 a day but all good things come to an end We still have at least 5 years left then its off to another platform or maybe just final retirement.

Really great photos Al, thanks for posting. We don't get as much coverage of the election here in the UK so I wouldn't have seen this otherwise :)

No that was done 9 years ago now We just produce what has already been drilled. Basically We drill a hole 2600 ft below the platform then the pressure from below the surface pushes the gas and oil up.It can get a bit more complicated than that . When we get visits like this We get behind on our work and have to work more hours to catch up.If the Well pressure drops We can use Gas lift are water injection to add pressure to push up the hydrocarbons. We use the Gas from below to operate most of our equipment.
