longwoodguy74 Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 I see from the second picture that somebody had the presence of mind to put up some razor wire around the pile of dirt. Strong work. Incidentally, I always thought your "Loc: Angola(F*@K)" was a joke... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuckwoww Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 Solo1Mick your pics encouraged me to do a bit of research... http://tinyurl.com/et72c Seems Angola could be the second biggest African producer after Nigeria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekong Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 A few years ago I had the misfortune of having to visit an Angolan Refinery, Luanda if my Memory serves me right, and what made me uneasy was the fact that the military had more fire power aimed at the installation than actualy defending it. The philosophy being that if the rebels tried to take over the place theauthorities would rather cripple it than let it fall into rebel control. Fortunately my Middle Eastern forays are getting less frequent, last time I was there I was in Yanbu when the place got shot up, and I see thet another one of my old plants "Abqaiq" was hit yesterday, I am only suprised it didn't happen earlier, Abqaiq, Ras Tanura or TAP (Trans Arabian Pipeline) take out would cripple world oil supplies. 40 hour work and 4 nights living per week in eastern seaboard is slightly better than the thought of going back out that way. Just hope we keep winning projects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
