Offshore roustabouts live perilous, lucrative Gulf lives

The Gulf platform GI-43AA 20 miles off Louisiana shores hosts roustabouts like John Fisher who earn about $26,000 a year with seven straight days off. They endure 200 foot swings, rough seas, and crowded quarters while toiling to separate crude oil and gas from 10,000 feet below. Offshore life brings isolation, marriages strained, and a seven hour drive to Grand Isle. Tulane studies label offshore work extremely hazardous, yet two million hours logged without a lost time accident.
