Back to work...

Going back out to work tomorrow for two weeks on Gjøa. Pretty stoked, its a brand new platform that was built in Norway (fairly uncommon) two years ago by Aker. So its going to be all new and clean and shiny! 



The platform looking kinda lonely just floating in the North Sea, interesting fact, this was the first semi-submersible platform in Norway to receive an electricity cable from land, so all the power for the platform is generated onshore thus resulting in less carbon emissions from the vessel. 

This shows the subsea tie-in setup to the Troll ii pipeline via the Vega templates that run to Scotland, where the gas is refined.


Up at 4am to take the bus to the airport, then to Oslo, then connecting flight to Florø, then helicopter out to the platform. Ah, the joy of it all.

Cheers. N
