Pics from Africa
 

I'm fortunate to get to travel quite a bit with work. I enjoy taking pictures and have THOUSANDS! LOL I thought I would share some if people are interested. I will mix he up between work and "stuff".

Those are some really neat pics, thanks.

Cool pics

I get to travel too. I'm going to Lafayette today. Those are awesome.

Can't load up more than one at a time from my iPad? What a PITA

Get tapatalk

Or load them all into a photbucket and post the img tag here.


What did yall do with the Baboon on the rig? Those thing are pretty mean.

Oh and that Dockwise Ship is huge and stays very busy!!! We had to ship a job once on that thing and if we missed the deadline we would have had to wait 8 months before another one was available.

It's easier to post from my computer.:)

The Baboon got in a container coming out for painters. They had a hell of a time catching up with it. When they did lets just say it didn't end up well for the Monkey.... And the guy's here LOVE bush meat.

lunch
 

cool pictures man thanks for sharing,

did you eat some of that LUNCH? if so how was it, tough i bet?

Awesome pics!!

I didn't eat any of that one. I have tried it in in town. It's ok. Like anything it's all about how it's prepared.

They sure like to flare a lot of gas over there

That is some awesome pics! Please share more when you travel some more.

"W" - they have nothing else to do with it!!! - Our guys working over there say the infastructure is holding them back by millions a day.

Great pics!

We flare all the gas we don't use. There are LNG plants going in some places. LNG is the next big thing for sure. I flare billions of MCF from my fields right now. It's a byproduct like produced water right now.

Awesome trip and pics

These pics are from through the years. I've worked all over the world since 2004. I'm currently in Nigeria. I prefer Africa to other area. Usually pays better and the weather is more like home.

Great pictures. Thanks for sharing.

Cool pics..

thanks for the pics really enjoyed them post some more when you can thanks

Thank you, Question?
 

Thanks very much, those are awesome. Just curious, what is depth of water where the whales were located?

Who do you work for? I just left Nigeria. I work for Baker and our shop was in Onne. I was working on the Total, USAN project. Interesting place to say the least! Haha. Are you out of PH or Lagos?

The coast here is much like the Louisiana coast was 100 years ago. Lots of active deltas long shallow areas along steep canyon drop offs. The whales were in about 1200' of water at a FPSO.

I work for ADPNL (ADDAX Petroleum Nigeria Limited). We have a office in Lagos and recently moved our Port from Calabar to Onne in Port Harcourt.

Another pic. This is one of our FPSO's "Knock Adoon".

Ill chip in, here are a couple from my last trip to Ghana. Hand lining in the Jubilee field from the stern of the FPSO

Nice pics guys, them Dolphin look to be a different color over there

killer pics

Cool pics. It's tough getting them up on a FPSO. I don't get to fish when I'm offshore for work any more but I wish I could. The guys here catch pretty good. The Snapper are HUGE. I'm talking 45-50#.

Great pics !

How has the fishing around MC been ?

Hydro

I haven't fished around home in a while. When I'm not a work I've been back and forth to St Jude in Memphis with my son. The only fishing trips I make are to Leeville. I rather fish salt water than fresh.

Another

Tortuga

Closer view.

Pretty cool huh

Great pics fellas!

Man those are some cool pics.

Who doesn't like bush meat? I sure do!:work:

Please caption them. Really cool

Obama has a house over there?

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.
