I have been working in the industry for over 25 years, yes there are incidents, but not of this magnitude or in this short of time frame.
Do you realize the amount of education and training that is required yearly for all employees (operators, tech's, managers)?
I do, I live it yearly, the oil industry is one of the most tightly regulated industries there is, period.
If one thinks about the number of gallons that is moved, refined, pumped on a daily basis, you would realize the true nature of what's required.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 739448MAgnitude?? LMAO....a rig exploding while loading at a refinery and a rig gas leak..."magnitude"
Three incidents in two weeks..."this short of a time frame"
And you really want to tout this "in all my 25 years" shit
You can't be fuckin' serious
By the bye, third gen in the industry here. So, yeah, we live it.
Your last statement is the very reason, despite regs, there are so many accidents. It is the shear volume and large number of rigs and humans involved.
It's the same principal as the reason the majors revenue numbers are so massive: It's not due to a kick arse profit margin; it's due to
volume.
