<p>Paul B, yes it is a drilling rig. Wartsila Diesel/Electric Generator 3.5 megawatts. We have 8 of them which suck more fuel than anyone on here really wants to know. For generating power to propel the rig, hotel load, and harsh environment drilling package.</p><div>00YQVt-340857584.jpg.f0a88cecf1522bc923f25fabf870bc94.jpg</div>

<p>Sorry, caption should read "Wartsila". Shown here with top cover removed in preparation for monthly preventive maintenance. Only photos I have from the rig's engine spaces. I normally stay out of there, it's hot, noisy, and stinky. And, engineers are generally a dirty, knuckle-dragging bunch. Although, I'm sure young Anton will be an exception to that rule should he decide to continue his present course of studies :)</p>
