As far as your ex-pat days allowed in the UK are concerned (from recollection 90 days a year), once you are outside the 12 mile limit you are no longer in the UK. You may pick up a day transiting in and out through the UK mainland but the bulk of your time is spent in international waters… even though it may be in the UK sector of the North sea. In your case I would not be unduly worried that you may lose your ex-pat status by working in the UK sector and therefore be liable for UK tax.
