Semi-sub Drilling Rig, the "Paul B. lloyd Jr.

Is a Drill Rig working near the BP Clair Field, West of Shetland. The flare had just been ignited, and it lit with a WHUMP that we heard half a mile away,
And why do I have a mental image of Mr Paul B. Lloyd Jr. looking somewhat like JR Ewing. I now for some inexplicable reason have the theme tune to Dallas running through my head Aaaarrgghh!
