Offshore oil rigs, floating cities in the middle of the ocean, never sleeping cities towering above passing ships, working silently 24 hours non-stop for 7 days, carrying out their tasks far away from the nearest shore.
Billions of barrels of oil and gas are produced in these oil refineries and gas wells to meet the energy demands of the world's population.
The oil industry is the center of the world's economy, and even a slight change in crude oil prices can have a significant impact on all countries.
But have you ever wondered about the lifestyle and daily routine of the people who live and work on offshore oil rigs?
While you may have heard that life on these amazing floating platforms is fascinating, there are several things you might not know.
First of all, it's important to note that life on an oil rig is not luxurious. In fact, it's a place where people's lives are at stake every day they work.
Although this may sound a bit exaggerated, the truth is that life and work on offshore oil rigs are both extremely challenging and unsafe.
Let's take a look at the extreme daily routine of a worker on an offshore oil rig, This is Why Offshore Oil Rig Workers Earn So much Money

Worked in the Oilfields in Texas for a couple years… worked 12-hour days for weeks at a time. My longest hitch was 6-months straight. The money was great, but when your gone for such long periods all you want to do is spend the money when your home. I also missed out on a lot of milestones with my daughter. Years later I’m still trying to make up for all the lost time. This isn’t something you make a career out of because of how cyclical the industry is, your goal should be to save as much money as possible and invest and make that money work for you so that you can get out. I worked with a guy that worked out there for 4 years making 160K a year and moved to Florida and bought a condo and works as a bartender at one of the beach bars and surfs most of the time lol. Living his best life because of he sacrificed 4 years and was smart with his money.

When I discharged from the military, I wanted to ‘get away’ but I wanted to work too. Ended up on semi-submersible for around 6 years. I actually loved it out there. If you’re lucky enough to have a good crew, it makes a massive difference. A lot of the guys I worked with were ex forces from around the world, so having that in common probably made us work better as a team. The gig was hard, but a lot of us still trained every day after work. Weights/boxing etc… Saw some incredible things in my time there. Like marine life depending on where we were. Looking down and seeing the silhouettes of 100 hammerhead sharks is a surreal reminder that if you end up overboard, you won’t have time to drown. The best sunsets and skylines were seen from the helideck. Food was great because a good chef will earn 3x more on a rig than he will in Sydney harbour. Quality of food has a big impact on morale, so I didn’t see many rigs without great food. Yep, it was a dangerous gig, and I saw some bloody awful injuries. Nobody that knew what we did had the stones to say we didn’t earn every dollar. Also met some awesome people, and gained some life experience most don’t.

I was a cook on several rigs. It was tough. I've worked 12 hours a day. Away from my girlfriend at that time, family, and friends sometimes for 6 months. Longer if the weather is going to be bad. Because other shift of guys couldn't get on the Rig. A large Crane would transfer a group of guys from one rig to our main rig. Literally hanging in the air. But it was awesome to feed over a 1,000 men 3 meals a day, and putting out snacks for the guys. Also banking homemade pies, cookies, and cakes. Unfortunately, women wasn't allowed on the rigs anymore with men employees. Due to you know what was going on

@timmyfung01 3 ай бұрын

you guys are the heroes of the rig. I worked with similar situations in remote land before, 12 hours shifts, weeks in and out, you have to work hard when you are at it. the good meals are not only our mental comfort, but also our time clock, that is when we know the time when breakfast, lunch and dinner are served.

The weather and rough seas, being stuck in Mexico for 6 months straight not being able to come home or see him. Being in fear of pirates attacking his boat while he was out there, it was just so nerve wrecking!! And EVERYTIME he leaves you never know if he’s going to make it back. On his last hitch, when he was off for 30 days he put in for an application for an at home job, a week before he was set to return he got the job. THE SAME BOAT he was set to work on, (which he worked on for years SEACOR POWER) headed out a couple of miles from shore , hit some unexpected rough weather and the boat capsized! It brought us to tears because many men including his captain lost their lives and that could have easily been my husband! Had he gone back a week later.

I used to load oil tankers off the Shetland Isles with North Sea oil. One such wave hit our ship on the dock which happened to be the largest ship in the world at the time. The weight of the ship and cargo and the dock it was tied to were in excess of 1 million tonnes but the wave moved the entire ship and dock with ease.

The drilling supervisors pay varies a lot of them are consultants get paid a day rate, but the senior ones I worked with would make 200 to 300k. The directional drillers same or more, just the LWD hands would make 180k and the directional drillers 300k, but they work a bunch of hours.

@@Brooke7218 hey, I don’t know if woodside/BHP are still doing this, but they were hiring people to go through a traineeship of sorts some years back. Your particular qualification would make you highly competitive as a candidate. I went through woodside’s recruiting for this once, and got to the stage where I’d been ‘successful’, but they also froze applications as did a lot of offshore hosts at the time. Opportunity never came up again. Your University should really be bombarding you with information on where to get a start. But generally speaking, get in the habit of monitoring positions for chevron, BHP, Halliburton, Schlumberger, Woodside, CCIWA, Maesrsk etc… there’s plenty of TPC’s out there that might give you a shot too. But you might need to fork out for your own TBOSIET and other necessary work permits. Good luck.
