The Offshore Energy Center is hosting an open house to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Ocean Star Offshore Drilling Rig and Museum. Have you ever wondered how workers on an offshore platform do their work? Have you ever wondered why we need oil? Come celebrate with us on Wednesday, April 26th at the Ocean Star and see for yourself!
