We know the number of rigs, there were 126 workers on the Deepwater Horizon. These rigs workers work on 3-4 week 12-7 schedules with 3-4 weeks off in between so there's a whole other crew that would at home on shore at any time. Plus there are loads of support people offsite supplying the rigs, producing the materials being used ..... Okay. Let's try it your way.......two crews.....250 guys.....times 33 rigs. That's 8K workers.....which I think is still high but closer to reality than the other figures.
