Oil Rig Photos

I spent a few days on board the Micoperi over new year 1990/91. It's certainly the biggest moveable bit of kit I've ever been on. It was my first trip offshore and in fact I was only on her because I got off the chopper too soon! I was supposed to stay on the helicopter until it reached the FA platform, but since the crane barge was steaming that way anyway they just kept me on board.

Trabalhei no Micoperi, na época de instalação das jaquetas de PVM's e PCP's. Executei atividades de taifeiro, meu chefe era o Sr. Buf e o Sr. Vicenzo. Sinto saudades desta unidade.

Fiquei muito feliz quando contemplei esta e muitas outras fotos deste colossal navio, no qual tive a honra de trabalhar no ano de 1989, na Bacia de Campos (R.J. Brasil), quando o 7000 instalou as Jaquetas(pés de plataformas) e as plataformas Carapeba 1 e 2, Vermelho 1 e 2 e ainda deu apoio durante o incêndio que consumiu a plataforma Anchova. Naquela época, asta maravilha era novinha. Que saudade do cozineiro Luigi, Garçons Antônio, Agostinho e tantas outras amizades que nem sei se um dia terei a honra de rever.

I was very happy when contemplei this and many other photos of this colossal vessel, which had the honour to work in the year 1989, in the Campos Basin (RJ Brazil), when the 7000 installed Jaquetas (feet of platforms) and platforms Carapeba 1 and 2, Red 1 and 2 and also provided support during the fire that consumed the platform Anchovies. At that time, was older wonder novinha. What nostalgia of cozineiro Luigi, Garçons Antonio, Augustine and many other friends do not know if one day I will have the honour to review.

My father-in-law, Daniel Retief Vorster was the first chairman of Mossgas. I am always looking for photos of him at Mossgas and at the FA Platform. I would love to show him and my kids some of these photos, as he never was a person to pose for the camera.
