About MeWhen an installation enters production it is an historic event and a time of celebration and pride for those involved. At significant moments, inauguration of a field or millionth barrel the companies distributed official gifts as a form of celebration and marketing.
However the workforce often create their own souvenirs of the moment, and distribute these as gifts to friends and relatives onshore or kept as momentoes of the occasion
Here a small whisky bottle contains the precious liquid from the Murchison Field.
