Whilst if you are pre-historic, you’ll be unable to forget Brent-7 in 1976, during the manic time that the tie-back platform, Brent Bravo, was totally consumed with getting the first Brent platform wells up and running!!

I remember UMC great achievement , a lot of onshore testing and rehearsal appropriate at time before the ROV was born , Ekofisk Norway had been producing subsea for years with a jack up platform ,and then came Hamilton Bothers oil & gas first North Sea oil Production Argyll field in June 1975 , all subsea with a floater. Others did their own things with other budgets, focus and technology available over 40 years. And some do remember most of it.
Who out there remembers the Chevron Ninian triple with TFL and a whole lot of new stuff. Anybody got pictures? Roger Osborne
