Champion

Just look at the size of this artificial island. There are 10 separate platforms connected by walkways. Each platform is constructed on top of piles driven individually into the seabed. Only the rich sultan of Brunei can afford to spend money like this.

Worked on the Aquadrill 1, adjacent to Champion 7 drilling development wells. Shell was using "Black Magic) oil based mud and I remember it really stinks and the whole rig and platform is covered with it. Spent almost two years as Schlumberger field engineer working for Shell in Bruneei, Sarawak and Sabah. I was the first Filipino engineer to work for Schlumberger.
