In this episode of Wind, Waves & Wells, I sit down with Frank and Finn, two pipeline NDT specialists who have spent years working across the offshore energy industry inspecting pipeline welds before they are sent to the seabed. The conversation dives into what life is really like on pipeline vessels around the world. From the intense pace of weld inspections every few minutes to long rotations offshore, the reality of the job is often very different from how people imagine working in the energy industry. Frank and Finn also talk about the book they wrote together, sharing the strange, funny and sometimes unbelievable stories that come from years of working offshore. The episode covers everything from the characters you meet in the industry, the financial highs and lows of offshore life, cultural differences on international vessels, and how the industry itself has changed over time. There are plenty of laughs along the way, but also some honest reflections on the reality of working in energy, the sacrifices people make, and the unique culture that develops when crews spend weeks or months together offshore. If you have ever wondered what life on a pipeline vessel actually looks like, this episode gives a rare glimpse behind the scenes.
