Beyond the Derrick

By Stewart Campbell

From a croft on Scotland's west coast to the far edges of the oilfield, Beyond the Derrick follows a life spent going wherever the next job led.

There are remote camps, sketchy rigs, questionable decisions and the strange brotherhood forged through long days, tougher nights and getting the job done alongside people from every corner of the world.

For thirty years, work provided the adventure, the identity and the purpose.

Then the ground shifted.

A diagnosis of multiple sclerosis. Weeks later, an aggressive lymphoma. Suddenly the biggest challenge had nothing to do with oil, pressure or what was happening thousands of feet below ground.

Candid, irreverent and reflective, Beyond the Derrick is a memoir about work and identity, friendship and family, resilience and mortality - and discovering, eventually, what deserves your energy and what doesn't.
