Almost time for me to head back to the uk for a two week break. This week I have been supporting testing in the main GTL control room, an eighth of which is shown in the picture. We have been testing the Master Flow Controller of the off-shore wells. Basically the same piece of equipment that caused BP to spill a couple of cans of oil into the sea. Actually, precautions were in place to ensure that this Sub-Sea Safety Valve remained closed, so we didn't spill a drop! Also, I have just been upgraded into a new room, with fridge, microwave, DVD player, a luxury chair, a larger bed and a metre square coffee table. Oh and cable internet access instead of wireless, much faster. Anyway, Wednesday is my last day until October 2nd, so I am looking forward to a nice lazy break.
