With all the recent attention being paid to inappropriate behaviour by MMS regulators, Shell might find having the BSEE regulators on board a bit harder to handle than was previously the case with the MMS – with the age of the rigs, and the fact that one has been stacked for a long period, there is plenty that can go wrong.
Since Shell have 1200 lawyers, and the two Alaskan rigs will have government representatives on board, surely it would be a good idea to have a couple of lawyers on each rig to respond appropriately to questions from the government representatives and visitors from environmental organisations?
As employees of an oil company, Shell’s lawyers must surely be well versed in drilling operations. So I’m sure the 1960’s vintage accommodation for supernumeraries on the Discoverer won’t come as too much of a surprise, even if it is not quite up to the five star hotels where Shell’s lawyers normally stay. And I’m sure their offshore helicopter escape and survival training will be very useful in court.
Apart from anything else, the presence of a few lawyers on board should guarantee that no work actually gets done!

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
