Don’t give a rip about the spelling, I just copied and pasted from Google. Didn’t know what a roustabout was, figgered others dint neither, so offered the definition as a service.
👍👍👍😄😄😄
A jack of all trades from maritime to drilling ops.
3rd party work.
But also a API certified rigger on all things on a oil rig.
Assigned to deckpusher/crane crew was primary role.
From simple drill pipe to a 35 ton top spool.
Casing
Riser
BOP lifts.
Subsea infrastructure lifts.
And everything in between associated with drill op tools and 3rd party tools and resupply ops.
All a normal day, but always different.
Entry level job is what it is.
Homie did it for 3 yrs as a 49 to 52 yr old.
Making the youngsters look bad at times.
Was put in charge of fabrication projects COG,s for rigging and lifts on a 75 mil project when cutting off our Derrick in Palermo to get under bridge into Black sea at Istanbul and then putting it back on in Constanta Romainia.
Anything that went on and off that rig got my hands on it to fly.
None of the other roustabout,s wanted the responsibility of that or dealing with Siclian or Romainian dock or crane crews daily.
Or Norwegian or Danish bracing fabrication crews.
Not banging my drum, but alot more involved than just mopping the deck.
Paid off a schit load of bills .
Got financially GTG
Retired from civilian world at age 52.
👍👍👍👍
