What is the most accurate way of locating the coordinates to offshore drilling platforms in the gulf?

I'm gonna go with on-rig multiple frequency GNSS. But that probably wasn't what you were looking for.

marinetraffic.com then filter ship type to "Tugs & Special Crafts".

If you know the platform/rig you're looking for, you can simply search for it as well.

Thanks! When I do that it only shows vessels that are actively moving. Is there way to search for stationary rigs?

You should be able to see stationary, manned platforms and rigs.

For instance, if you search for Boomvang or Perdido, they'll pop up:

Floaters and drillships. Subscription but worth it if you are fishing.

If you know the name of the rig, google that and click on the vessel finder link.

Example in the link.

Good old Perdido. I accepted a new role to take over as the Technical Manager for Baker Hughes on that platform the day Deepwater Horizon happened. Abruptly ended that job......

Saltwater Recon.. has everything you want in the gulf.

Those a pretty small rigs as they go today. I still wonder what has happened to some of the Atwood rigs I worked on before the company was sold.

Osprey and Condor are still kicking around SE Asia and Australia as the MSS1 and DPS1.

If someone would just share all the numbers up to 50 miles out of Port Oconnor that would be great.

In in case someone posts coordinates within 50 miles of Galveston jetty

I spent time on Condor, Osprey, and Advantage. Also that jack up they had off west Africa.

Well, I received and repacked all the 16 million dollars of warehouse inventory for one of them and a portion of the other in Singapore. Probably 20 million dollars worth of stuff in crates in a warehouse somewhere in Singapore still.

I was always proud of that. We had that entire inventory accounted for down to the last washer and o-ring. Perfect, with zero loss.

If they didn't sell a lot of the plastic and rubber parts, they are probably trash now. Riser seals have a use-by date due to slow degradation of the synthetics.
