Comment on Are there any offshore drilling companies hiring? by ibu guru

Were you offshore or land? Offshore, as far as I know, only those with offshore experience are being hired. Hiring is down, and only experienced need apply anywhere.

Also, where are you willing to work? Assuming you have all the experience, credentials, qualifications needed for offshore, Brazil is still doing testing. Don’t reckon they’ll be drilling for a even as yet, but start investigating. Only huge find of late, and technically very hard, so they will need the very top people in the field, if you hold such qualifications.

Try the oilfield contract personnel companies. They may send you to overseas & remote locations, but it’s work, and that is scarce now. Is Epic still in Houston? Sorry, I don’t retract all of them now anymore.

Also part of the reason is the overall Osha program even as it has cut-rate on the job fatalities many companies do not permanently follow the rules,

In this context I have no thought. Otherwise, workers on oil rigs have often been referred to as "roughnecks".
