I work in measurement right now, fly offshore everyday and back every afternoon love the fact that I'm home every night but I'm exhausted because its. 1.5 hre drive one way to heliport. I've got a degree in production and would love to get back into it because of more money and more consistent time off

I don't know about production but, I looked into welding offshore and, I never went. The $ was better on dry ground. Just my experience though.

[bjhooper82]

I dont work in production, i work on the drilling side. The guys that work on production platforms are out there to monitor the well as it produces and keep it flowing. I may be wrong but 80 to 90k a year sounds more like someone with years of experience. I know a few guys who work production, one whos been doing it for 20 years or better and he might make close to that.

You looking close to 40-45k a yr starting out but if you get with a crew who Is willing to train and you are willing to learn you can advance quickly. Realistically you could close to double that in 5 yrs. Once you get up the ladder you cap out your salary then you can only look forward to cost of living raises.

[jdm4x43732]

Pb2000 quick lesson. Drilling is the side who actually does the drilling or working over wells to repair problems downhole. Most rigs are not permanate on a location they are movable, either semi submersible or jackups. Many other styles, platform rigs which are like land rigs which are disassembled to be moved, snubbing unit which is basically z big hydraulic jack that pulls pipe, and coil tubing which is a spool of continuous pipe used in workover operations. Production job is exactly what it says, monitor all equipment on the platform that process the produced hydrocarbons from a well or wells. Platforms are a structure that stays on location after a rig is finished drilling with equipment that processes oil, gas and water. Tired of typing..... Drilling= hard work
Production= gravy job

With that pay seems like it would be more advantageous for someone young to try to get into operations in a refinery or chemical plant than go offshore.

But our company opened a shop in Oklahoma and offered a few of us a 14&14 schedule and i jumped all over it. The time off is priceless and i could never see myself going back to 24 hour call or even having a 9 to 5 job. To only work half a year and make great money is well worth being miserable for 2 weeks!!

That is the position I am in.....24 hour call with no schedule. Fin sucks but the money is good. Gunna stick it out untill something better comes up.

Starting pay is low but only work 6 months out of the year. Free food for 6 months out of the year, only drive to work 1 or 2 trips a month if you get a set schedule not 24 hr call. Figure food and gas cost if you have to commute every day. I doubt if I worked at a plant or a refinery I'd get as much couch time as I do now

I probably have more time to spend with my kids being gone 6 months a year than if I were home every night. To each his own but I wouldn't change it for the world. The kids love it when I miss Christmas, they get to celebrate it twice, when I'm home and Santa passes again on Christmas eve. You'd think Santa would wisen up and knock it all out in one night.
