I know very little about off shore oil rigs, but does anyone know if they usually keep high explosives on the rig for drilling purposes??

L.W. It was probably pressure-related.

L.W. No they're not kept onboard rigs. They are shipped out and used by companies that 'perforate the casing' [blow holes through the casing] when the engineers think they are in the crude oil. Which lets crude enter the casing. Wishing the workers well- hard working men. Most people don't know and some don't believe the kind of pressure involved in Well Drilling. Mention 15,000psi and they think you're a crazy-iggMo.
