Working Offshore

[CoastalPappy]

I am looking to work offshore and was wondering if you guys could provide me with any information on how to go about getting a job as a process operator offshore? I would also appreciate any feedback from you guys telling the pros/cons of working offshore. Thanks for your help.

Pros- money is good and most companys have good benefits. Cons- No women for days or weeks,being away from family,no privacy,some living quarters I would not let my dog sleep in....did I mention no women?

Try rigzone.com to get an idea of who is hiring. You can browse the employment opportunities by job description. You can also post a resume there. I work on the drilling side and most drilling operators are hiring. 3rd party service companies are also hiring right now. I am not familiar with the production side so can't give you any advice as far as the operators who are hiring.

Pros- Great money, off for days at a time (gives u the opportunity to fish/hunt during the week), good benefits. Cons- Away from family/friends (women as Montauk mentioned). The offshore lifestyle is not for everyone, you will know fairly quick if you are cut out for working offshore. Good luck.
