I did a heli-portable job 10 years ago with a 212 on the Northern Penninsula of Newfoundland with Talisman and Destiny Drilling. The crew was certainly not accustomed to Newfoundland weather, and assumed most mornings that it was a ''weather day'' due to the fog, drizzle, snow etc., and the winds were always in the 30kt range. They soon learned that if you didn''t work in that, you''d be spending Christmas in Cow Head.
They''ve been doing ship-based seismic out in the Gulf for years now. I hope they find something - I have 10 acres that I want to fund my retirement. Soon.
