How you pronounce Muchowich?

We've heard Muck-o-witch, Mooch-o-witch, Much-away, and many other attempts to over think the pronunciation. It's actually very simple. Think of a witch, then add the word "much" and put an "o" in the middle. MUCH • O • WICH.

When was Offshore Oil Services Inc founded?

+

Offshore Oil Services, Inc was founded in 1968. However, the Muchowich family's entrance into the oil business came in the late 1940's when exploration off Freeport, Texas began. A Muchowich shrimp boat was retrofitted to carry and feed passengers offshore. This was done by extending the hull and modifying the cabin to accommodate passengers. We still have a 1948 invoice to The Humble Company (today Exxon Mobil) listing charges for bunks and meals. Read more on our history page.
