We've been drilling for close to two years now, we just passed the half-way mark, and they're talking two more well houses. With construction, maybe five more years for this island before it goes into purely production/maint. mode. Another island would be about a two/three year construction phase before coming on-line for drilling?

It could happen... but, I'd have to be careful that I keep within permitted content parameters.
RD, that looks interesting, but I think I will stick with my Gulf of Mexico operations. Our biggest concern is weather and finding a fuel location before we run out.

It's weird to say this never meeting you,
But I am a fan of don young, rep of Alaska, and last week he put out A post saying western Alaska was considered a state of emergency. A winter storm had basically paralyzed that part of Alaska.
So I also hadn't seen a post for a few days from you so I was a touch concerned, then you popped up before I put out an APB to see if you were ok.
Glad your ok, and I think all of us on the forums wish you safe travels.
And the reason I liked rep Young in Alaska?
He won some award for animal rights from PETA, and he told them to shove it.
So aperently he loves animals, alive and on the plate.
And I support that!!

Very cool stuff there is a group that takes their land cruisers up to Alaska and drives expedition style across it every year. I always wanted to do it. Still never even been to the State.

That same storm was some of what we were enduring while I was up north on my last hitch. We had winds of 50mph sustained, and gusts to 70mph. A calm, as the "eye" passed, then more of the same. Those types of "blows" are common in Alaska, they often do not make the national news, let alone receive this type of attention... such as having the Governor declare an area a state of emergency.
Rep. Don Young was also recently hospitalized while travelling in SE Alaska (for heart concerns). He is at least 80yrs old now.
Thanks for thinking of me, and for the concern.
I understand that! The schedule I'm on (14 on/14 off), I will be working thanksgiving and Christmas until I retire. Good thing our kids never seem to have time for holidays at home.

As in 14 days on/off, or 14 weeks on/off?
We're 2 weeks on/off and do a 3 and 3 once a year to rotate the position to have the Holidays off. Works out nicely.
Ours are days on and off. The only way we get to change the way holidays fall is to bid on an opening on the other hitch. Jobs are assigned based on seniority. Its fair, but doesn't always work out the way you want.
