Default offshore job
I am looking for suggestions. I work on land now as an operator and I have been offered a job offshore 14/14 as a contractor on a subsea production platform and I have never worked offshore the money is better and will get better. Right now I work 5/2 and on call some weekends not much time off. Just any thoughts of going offshore should I give up my job on land for the extra money and be gone for 14 days. some of you guys that work offshore help please dont know what to expect. thanks

That is correct. It is the future of deepwater oil and gas production.
About 2/3 of Shell's production is from subsea wells.

Take it and let me have the job you have now. I have been looking for a job where I can be home nightly.

My hat's off to all you guys/gals that make your living offshore providing energy to the nation. I honestly couldn't do it. When I go to the hunting camp for 3 days , I get 'homesick' and have to rush home to see the wife/kids/dog not specifically in that order. Oh crap, there's the old lady, x-out, x-out...
