What is Yalls best suggestion to get started working offshore.

I've messaged a few of y'all. But do any of y'all know if your companies are hiring entry level

I was too. But not for long.

W, we get calls for high BS&W, but they won't shut down a 100,000+ bbl/day platform.
Platform and pipeline is owned by the same company. We just get cussed and threatened.

Well if your pipeline and platform is owned by the same company...Thats there call...and there money...but when it's not

with the new upgrade systems...the old ways of hiding BS&W days are gone....we now have sensors and alarms on the OMNI

We had sensors on ours since we came online in 1999. They get an alarm in Houston Control Center as soon as it hits 1%, then we get a call if it don't go down within 30 minutes. Then we catch hell after 1 hour.
There is also a shutdown associated with the alarms, but they turned them off. It costs too much money to shut us in due to high BS&W.

Hey W KCS proves our meters, it used to be Lake Arthur but now they send techs out of Houma. We sell to Shell and I know they are strict.

Guys I am just wondering so help me out. What is the pay scale out there hourly. I am a class A boilermaker/rigger. I am currently a extractor operater with Turner. I work out of the baton rouge office and go from plant to plant as needed. (guaranteed 40) but I am on call 24/7. I have always wondered what the payrates were offshore. I am not ashamed to say I make 29.00 dollars a hour right now. What kind of money is there in going offshore as a boilermaker for example. Just wondering. Help me out guys if you know. Thanks

And our Houma office takes care of yall??

[Matt D]

Yeah, One of the Techs got hurt and the other had to handle all of the load by hisself and then he ended up quitting so we started getting guys out of Houma. I'm sure it will probably change back to Lake Arthur, just not sure when.

Oh I thought they made more than that. I had no clue. Thanks W. I was just wondering cause I am looking for a change sometime in the future.

Hourly wages depend on the company. I know the majors pay more money per hour, but as far as I know, most of them have a split week.
