Chister D. Daatland’s scientific contributions

This book is volume 4 in a collection of five works on memories from the Alexander L. Kielland oil platform disaster in 1980. The book includes memories of those who worked in the oil-industry and who were in some way colleagues and/or employers or in management positions. The memories in this volume are from either from interviews or memories written down by those who worked in the oil-industry and who were in some way colleagues and/or employers or in management positions. The interviewees have all read the interview transcripts, have sometimes altered them and made additions, and in a few cases have rewritten them to such an extent or themselves submitted their memories. In such cases, they themselves listed as authors. Other interview notes listed with the interviewer as author. As interviews only are with Norwegians, we do hope to supplement this collection with additional memories from people in other countries. Many oil-workers worked across national boundaries and we know there are many colleagues as well as people in management positions in other countries. The administration as well as workers in the oil industry activity in the North Sea involved not only national of the North Sea countries, but also nationals of other countries such as USA. The included list of references is a selection of archival sources as well as published sources related to the memories in this collection. More substantial bibliographies, as well as lists of archival sources, are included in Smith-Solbakken (2016) and in Smith-Solbakken and Weihe (2019). Further specialized publications focus on subjects such as post-traumatic stress disorders (Smith-Solbakken and Weihe, 2018) and grief (Weihe and Smith-Solbakken, 2012), and include additional bibliographies.
