getting an job on an oil rig onshore or offshore?

Question

I'm looking for a job in the oil industry. what i want to know is: would it be better to gain experience on an onshore rig or an offshore rig. I don't really care if I'm at sea or on land but if i had a choice, I would rather be offshore.

Answer 1

You'd need to move to Holland, Africa or the US to really work on land rigs. Its not a question of signing on with a particular rig and then working at that location. There's different ways of going about it. Youcan sign on with a drilling company (the guys who own and man the rigs) like transocean or noble and get sent to any of their rigs that need people. You can sign on with an agency as drill crew and again get sent anywhere they need you. Or you can sign on with a service company and once again guess what - go whereever they want you. You'll get equally valuable experience wherever you're sent - its more about time than location though the north sea looks good on anyones cv due to the stringent HSE working conditions.

You'll get better/safer experience offshore. First of all, the ways in which a well is completed offshore is far more difficult than on a land rig. Weather conditions, water depths, and saltwater are just 3 of many setbacks that engineering must deal with on/below the water. Everything is scaled much larger in an offshore situation. You will make more money, and spend no money (unless you smoke or dip). The food is mostly always good, entertainment depends on the rig you're on, and you are working anywhere from 7 on 7 off to 30 on, 30 off depending on company or location. I believe that offshore rigs are much safer than land rigs. As always, there are exceptions. If you get the chance, shoot for offshore. You will start low, but through hard work you will achieve a higher position and pay rate. Offfshore and the oilfield is not cut out for everyone. Some can not deal with looking out from a platform and seeing nothing but black at night, and blue/blue during the day.

Answer 3

My husband is an offshore worker and there is plenty of work around at the moment. It's not a job that you can just walk into though.You have to pass an offshore survival course and offshore medical first but once you have done this and you are in with a company it opens loads of doors. Its better paid than onshore too.
If you have already passed these things then try company's like Fugro/Alluvial Mining ([e-mail]).They are based around Great Yarmouth area and are always looking for people.

Binary options let users trade in currency pairs and stocks for various predetermined time-periods, minimal of which is 30 seconds. Executing trades is straightforward. The system uses user-friendly interfaces, which even an 8 years old kid, can operate without having to read any instructions. But winning trades is Not easy.
Binary trading is advertised as the only genuine system that lets users earn preposterous amounts of money in ridiculously short period of time. Advertisers try to implicate as if you can make $350 every 60 seconds; if it was true then binary trading would truly be an astonishing business.
However, does it make any sense? Can every trader make tons of money in binary trading? Who is actually paying all the money or the profit to traders?
The first challenge is finding a trustworthy binary broker; secondly, you need to find a binary trading strategy, which you can use to make profits consistently. Without an effective trading strategy, there is no way you can make money in this business.

i have attended a lot of seminars, read counless books on forex trading and it all cost me thousands of dollars. the worst thing was i blew up my first account. after that i opened another account and the same thing happened again. i started to wonder why i couldn,t make any money in forex trading. at first i thought i knew everything about trading. finally i found that the main problem i have was i did not have the right mental in trading. as we know that psychology has great impact on our trading result. apart from psychology issue, there is another problem that we have to address. they are money management, market analysis, and entry/exit rules. to me money management is important in trading. i opened another account and start to trade profitably after i learnt from my past mistake. i don't trade emotionally anymore.
if you are serious about trading you need to address your weakness and try to fix it. no forex guru can make you Professional trader unless you want to learn from your mistake.
