About

In my day job; I am currently the Petroleum Technology Coordinator for North Central Texas College in Bowie Texas. I enjoy the field of education, but not so much the financial rewards...ask any teacher... In my night job; I am a roving humorist/illustrator. I was an editorial cartoonist for 15 years, and published an Oilfield Cartoon Calendar "CRUDE" in 1991-1993. I have decided to reintroduce "CRUDE". I have a great amount of respect for the field hands that lay it on the line every day. My cartoons are my way of bringing respect to the hands. It is my way of saying, "Thanks for what you do. Have a grin on me"....Comments and critiques are always welcome. Thanks. Steve

The Psychology of Offshore Workers

Posted by Rigadvisor on March 31, 2019

Working offshore on oil rigs is nerve-wracking, highly demanding and distressing. It requires a lot of physical and psychological strength to fulfill the work demands, bear personal issues and deal with family matters, all at the same time. It is a well-understood phenomenon that working offshore involves a unique set of stressors, entirely different from […]

Which type of Offshore Worker are you?

The Old Hand This guy has been offshore since the 80s and still going strong, no one’s sure why he’s still working offshore but we’d guess it’s something to do with a handful of divorces and a current wife with expense taste. The Human Tab No matter which rig you go on and sit in […]
