Captmrb,
Please change it, if you feel like my words offend you. You are a Captain on a DP Drill Rig I assume, probably working for either Seadrill, Odfjell, Stena, Maersk, maybe Sevan. Either way, if there was a well control situation on the rig, I wouldn’t be asking you for your advice, but instead the Drilling Super, and watching you sit there wandering around the control room, because you probably also never saw DP before this job and somehow got where you are by working for Noble Drilling. Cheers Mister OIM, we need more mariners like you in the oil industry. And if you want to compare the size of the body parts between our legs on how long we have been in the oil field, and who we know and what we know, you don’t want this fight.
What is the point of this post? The oim is the “manager” not the senior driller, of course you would consult the drilling super, but you would also keep the oim informed of anything that could jeopardize safety.
