A Recommended Read from: Vogue * USA Today * The Los Angeles Times * Publishers Weekly * The Week * Alma * Lit Hub A stunning and brutally honest memoir that shines a light on what happens when female desire conflicts with a culture of masculinity in crisis In her midthirties and newly free from a terrible relationship, Tabitha Lasley quit her job at a London magazine, packed her bags, and poured her savings into a six-month lease on an apartment in Aberdeen, Scotland. She decided to make good on a long-deferred idea for a book about oil rigs and the men who work on them. Why oil rigs? She wanted to see what men were like with no women around. In Aberdeen, Tabitha became deeply entrenched in the world of roughnecks, a teeming subculture rich with brawls, hard labor, and competition. The longer she stayed, the more she found her presence had a destabilizing effect on the men—and her. Sea State is on the one hand a portrait of an overlooked industry: “offshore” is a way of life for generations of primarily working-class men and also a potent metaphor for those parts of life we keep at bay—class, masculinity, the transactions of desire, and the awful slipperiness of a ladder that could, if we tried hard enough, lead us to security. Sea State is on the other hand the story of a journalist whose professional distance from her subject becomes perilously thin. In Aberdeen, Tabitha gets high and dances with abandon, reliving her youth, when the music was good and the boys were bad. Twenty years on, there is Caden: a married rig worker who spends three weeks on and three weeks off. Alone and in an increasingly precarious state, Tabitha dives into their growing attraction. The relationship, reckless and explosive, will lay them both bare.

The world's oceans hold some of the most incredible reserves of oil and natural gas. Accessing these key resources takes innovation, ingenuity, and a dedication to safety. In 2019 alone, the United States produced an estimated 2.3 million barrels of oil equivalent (BOE) per day. Not only is oil and natural gas used to power our cars and heat our homes, but it's also turned into countless products from clothes and sunglasses to smartphones and laptops to MRI machines and pacemakers. This book is an informative and light-hearted view of the offshore oil and gas industry and the activities of a petroleum worker while searching for hydrocarbons beneath the planet's surface. This book aims to educate and inspire the younger generations - the future leaders of the industry, others who may be considering a career change into this area, or those who work or have worked in the industry to reminisce about their time here. This book answers questions about all aspects of offshore platform life as a result of questions from children, teenagers, and adults in volunteering groups and networking events, revealing aspects that formal petroleum companies do not easily disclose.

Working on an offshore drilling rig is something most people will never get to experience in their lifetime. It is like no other workplace in the world and only those who have worked offshore can appreciate the diversity of people, cultures and roles that are represented in their remote "office". Offshore Oil and Gas PEOPLE is an overview of what it's like to work on an oil rig, and the role everyone plays in getting the job done safely and on time. The saying "Time is Money" is the mantra that everyone works to offshore with wells costing up to one hundred million dollars to drill. With such big money at stake it's easy to see why it is such a high-pressured environment to work in. This handy guide can serve as a pre-deployment induction manual for all new starters in the industry so they know what to expect when they get to a rig for the first time. There are lots of rules and regulations when working offshore and knowing what to expect before you disembark from the chopper that very first time will help make your introduction to the industry that much easier. For people wanting to get into the industry, this book explains the many roles that can be explored; from an entry-level no-experience-needed role to those that are highly specialized and found nowhere else in the world. This hi-tech and fast-paced industry has something to offer anyone looking for a challenging career beyond the 9 to 5 grind of city life. This book is also an informative guide for family or friends of offshore workers who up until now have had no idea what their loved ones actually do when they are at work...and also for those who already work offshore and have no idea what the rest of the people on the rig actually do!

9:56 PM CDT, April 20th, 2010. 4.9 million barrels' worth of oil begins to spew into the Gulf of Mexico as the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig, stationed on the Macondo Project, violently erupts. This is a first-hand story of Deepwater Horizon and its crew, told by a former member.For many, Deepwater Horizon oil spill was a terrible environmental catastrophe. It was deemed a result of irresponsible behavior and failed safety systems that wreaked havoc on the local ecosystem while shattering British Petroleum's reputation.A media circus soon followed as shocking images were beamed to television sets around the world, accompanied by opinionated and conjecturing "talking heads" and an eponymous Hollywood movie.At the heart of this story lies the crew who suffered the full brunt of the disaster. Of the 126 crew on board at the time of the explosion, 11 lost their lives. 8 of them were author Greg Williams' friends, a part of the "rig family".For years, they have suffered the opprobrium of public opinion and its notions of what happened, a silent reflection on mainstream news today. These brave and industrious people have dismissed the "distorted fabrications" of Hollywood, and this is their story.During the 1990s and 2000s, oil and gas exploration in the Gulf of Mexico was pushing the limits of the possible and accepting all challenges to further explore and discover; the Deepwater Horizon was one of these crews.Williams worked at the coalface, as a floor hand then on to a driller. In Our Horizon, he brings the rig to life, sharing its stories. From the mundanity of day-to-day life including the highs and lows, he charts the life of offshore drilling and the pain and heartache endured by survivors through first-hand accounts of the fateful night itself and the devastating aftermath in raw human terms.Our Horizon also explores the historical perspective, charting the rig's discoveries and records over the course of a decade from its construction in the Korean port city of Ulsan. Williams examines the economics of the industry, Deepwater Horizon's incredible discoveries, and the steely determination of crew to achieve the impossible while pushing technology to its limits. All the while, this pioneering progress was pushed by powerful global organizations overseeing operations, putting a multi-faceted dynamic at the heart of the infamous explosion. This is not just a history: this is their story--the story of heroes.
