Who does what offshore?
 
I have seen a few threads about salty cajuns working offshore, and thought I would start a thread to see who works offshore on here and different positions you hold. Would be kinda cool to know if another member is currently on the same rig....

I'll start it. I have been with Schlumberger for 7 years now, doing MWD/LWD. I go to school next month to cross over to directional driller. Currently I am on the Maersk Developer for ExxonMobil.

I used to work for Halliburton on land and inland waters in cementing. Started out in the Lafayette sales office as a BD trainee, then went to work out of the Southpark yard on a cement barge. Had about 4yrs with Halliburton when I got on with Westlake Chemical about 7yrs ago. Halliburton is a good company to work for, alot of good people there.

I work supplying all of the rigs and boats that yall go on with the computers and navigation charts. When y'all move we get the call for the electronic charts, paper charts, and pubs. Also we swing compasses aboard the vessels. Just shipped out 284 foreign charts to a new noble drilling vessel. Fun correcting all those things.

All depends on what you can weld.
We pay somewhere between 21.00 and 24.50 DOE.
Now keep in mind these guys work around 100 hours a week on a 14/7 schedule overtime after 40. All living expenses are covered while you are out there. Your average skilled craftsman offshore will make between 75k and 100k a year working 1/3rd of the year.
