offshore ppl ........your views.

[geodude]

hush alluh asses i sure mudboi and Crazy making much more,

[Mudboy]

was after 2 years,
and i always thought that MWD and Mud dudes get more

Out of curiosity, what do you do in which country/company?
I assume since you talking salary the job info is no problem.

And there are many divisions of the oilfield that make more money than MWD and Mud Eng.

Them fellas that does make ting to make small hole to big hole.....that's magic....and they rake in the bhuks....

[geodude]

wha bout them fellas that does drive them robots under de sea and thing dan?
then man be fancy like wow

[trinivampire]

read this entire thread, nice info. but have a quick question seeing that it have very experience ppl here

I did my diploma at utt in petroleum eng, currently doing the degree(BASc) part time,
Does it make sense continuing in petroleum or would I be more marketable specializing in something else?

Considering switching to (year 1 common to all disciples, have to specialize in yr 2):
Utilities Engineering- Mechanical or Process Engineering

Also, I have a 8-4 job dealing with petrophysical data, but no real industry experience. Looking for a new job, but what is a nice position to aspire to?
eg heard petrotrin has a 1 year refinery operator training program, is this a good opportunity?

[Dumb question-What exactly do technicians and by extension engineers do on a rig? > they in a control room making sure everything run smooth and doing reports etc right? or is it more manual labour based?]

I sent out a lot of resumes, but not response, if anyone has any inside info as to who hiring let me know

Thanks

WTK:

For someone to risk their personal life for money... What's the range of the salary for offshore workers?

dude u full ah sheit, so stfu

its not about risking your life for money,
i suppose u drive to work daily, dude u must be crazy, you mean you proberly waste 2 hrs of your life per day going from point a to point b in a country where statically an accident occurs every 15 mins, so since you risk your life everyday for money i wonder how how u earn?
And to answer you question typically an indiviaual with a degree employed with a service company with 2 years experience earnes approx 6k US but this is not the rule salaries vary greatly with global location, expertise and indiviaul abilities.

Tuesday morning I was home sick.
They called me out.
Had to drive to Camden (From Arouca, right there)
Got to da choppa, went out.
Handled the scene on Tuesday, went to bed about 2am yesterday morning.
4:30 am they woke me up, shizz went down again. I dealt with it and by 6am i had to get ready to get to da choppa again. Got back to Camden with plans to drive from there to Galeota, then back home later that day. Driving while tired no mc. And while I hate flying and helicopters I read your post while out there and the perspective made the flight much better.
I don't make close to that much though.

geodude/Mudboy : You're right. Those specialized services like ROV and turbine/reamer personnel make rediculous money for what it is I think. I'm looking at turbine operators here at 1000-1200 USD/day and he just has to make sure they put the correct one in the hole and don't exceed it's flow rate.
But the same way you might think it's wrong, other people right here that were in university with you guys might be thinking the same. It's all what you get into and what you're willing to do I guess.

Trinivampire : Petrophysics is a GREAT field to get into if you're good at it. You'll make a lot of money when you get very good at it. Actually you need to be the absolute best of many people. Up to you if you change your field but I will tell you if you go the safe way don't complain later if any of your classmates take the risk and end up with a better job. Many many people do that. Have a problem with the money their friends make offshore, but wouldn't do it themselves.
If you want to be able to go any which way, go with the Mechanical Eng.

Sky : Hard luck, but it happens to many. It's not forever though. It's a sacrifice with a purpose.

Oh, and geodude you still eh say what you does do on the rig! And where.

[Rooki3]

Sky : Hard luck, but it happens to many. It's not forever though. It's a sacrifice with a purpose.

I'm in IT, there is no purpose

The thing is, while in Galeota I walk in my boss office and said I wanna go now, I had enough.
He was like "NOW?!?!"
I say yea, now!!
He ask where I'll be the next day and let me go.
I was thinkin is 4:15 ( I work till 4:30 usually) and it wasn't a big deal.
After a long drive of gatorate and chain smoking to stay awake, I got home and it was 5pm.
When I left work I made a call so I checked my logs, cuz Galeota - Arouca's a 90 min spirited drive. I actually left at 3:15. I was so tired, I saw the time wrong on my watch.
Now I owe him an apology

[nemesis]

Yeah well, not too sure about IT pay structure. That real off about the time though. Shouldn't be driving like that.

Anyone been on the West Jaya yet? Apparantly might end up there sometimes if I decide to come back Trini. What's it like? Looks like a SS rig. Never done one of those in Trini. Will be interesting to see how the normal trini crews handle the floaters.
Should be fine though. trini's rule.
