No LOL. This is a Chimp that made its way onto the Hess compound in Equatorial Guinea. It was a priviously captured Chimp that had been returned to the wild. He decided he didn't want to be a wild Chimp and found his way to the compound and decided that is where he was going to live. The company would feed him and took care of him. Not really sure what happened from there. He would walk up to you and very friendly. I have more pictures of him but they must be on my old lap top.

I'll caption any more I post up. The pictures of the sea turtle above where taken on a beach in Equatorial Guinea near a town called Luba on Bioko Island. I can see the Island from where I'm at right now. We where sitting at a table in a bar near the beach and I saw something on the beach. At first I thought is was a log or something rolling with the surf and didn't pay much attention then it started coming further up on the beach. We walked out and this is what we saw. It was the closest I'd ever been to a sea turtle and the first time I ever had seen one on land. She dug a hole and laid her eggs just like on National Geographic. Pretty cool.

This is a cool picture I think. I took it from a bar/resturant (a reocurring theme in my travels!LOL) looking over the harbor in Malablo Equatorial Guinea. I think it's cool be cause it shows how life really is here. The big wooden boats take material from the deep ports into the shallow areas along the coast. The guy in the canoe is paddling between the boats trying to sell food to the workers on the boats. I've never been on the bigger boats but have seen them quite a bit. NO way in HELL would I go the places in them that those people go. No navigational equipment, no safety equipment nothing. :shaking: In these leaking POS boats traveling all up and down the coast and rivers.

Awesome pics thanks for posting!

The captioning you doing is the best part.

thanks for taking time to post the pics......great stuff

I don't know how I missed that but we just bought the USAN project. A colleague of mine was the planner there. He works for me now. Do you know Henk Panneman? Big Bald headed guy?

I lived in North Africa as a young kid while my dad worked for marathon oil

I worked for Marathon in EG for a while. Where were ya'll? Egypt, Algeria?

Few more.

First one is is a Old drilling rig converted to Production Platform. This old thing flows 70,000 BOPD with near 100% run time. Hard to argue with that! We paid $4,000,000.00 USD or the unit. It cost more to move it and set it up than to purchase it. :D

A local fisherman. This guy is 25 miles offshore in that thing. No GPS, no life jackets, compass, VHF nothing! Talk about BALLS! And they think nothing of it. Sometimes there are hundreds of them out here in weather I wouldn't dream of taking my big fiber glass boat out in. Makes me feel like a wuss sometimes. They don't know anything else. We've pulled fishermen out of the ocean several times who have sank their boats. These guys take their lives in their hands every time they go fishing. No coast guard to call here if they get in trouble. You can't really see it but he has a 15HP Yamaha outboard on that thing.

Wheres the motor?
