I love this platform. It's top notch. I worked on the HOS "Achiever". I got a chance to board the platform during crew change. Another great facility by a leading oil company like Shell.

I worked there about 12 years ago. It’s an amazing platform.

8, 000 meters of pipe before it even gets under the ocean floor. No way this could go catastrophically wrong for the entire gulf and all it’s inhabitants. Not to mention the amount of food we harvest out of the gulf. Like a giant metal oil rig sitting on a 8, 000 meter straw. Greed will be the death of this planet and us with it. Just to drive a car around….. shamefull !
