Back offshore

[scott craft]

I've thought about going offshore in the past, but I don't think I could start out making what I make now and I couldnt be away from my family that long. A lot of my wifes family does it and like it though.

I work in measurement right now, fly offshore everyday and back every afternoon love the fact that I'm home every night but I'm exhausted because its. 1.5 hre drive one way to heliport. I've got a degree in production and would love to get back into it because of more money and more consistent time off

Production Opp probably one of the lowest paid in the gulf due your knowledge
If you get Hired on with a Major you will make 70k-90k starting off green but any contract you will start off cheap

Production Green Hand starting out -45-55K
Production Experienced 65-90K

other Trades like
Wireline
Electrician
Mechanic
75-100K

You can make 6 figure salary once you put in some time offshore.......

Plus most companies give you a bonus or some kind of extra pay insensitive during the year
Ex..Stock options or cash

I did lot of platform rigs in my time working offshore and all that i see the production operations do is check on gauges and do alot off paperwork, and i seen some fly to different platforms to check on them. Sometimes they have to work on the tree and lines if they need att., you maybe have to shut a well in but thats not hard to do just turn a value. I ready guess u have to know what to do if something happens. Hope i help out.

I don't know about production but, I looked into welding offshore and, I never went. The $ was better on dry ground. Just my experience though.

[bjhooper82]

I dont work in production, i work on the drilling side. The guys that work on production platforms are out there to monitor the well as it produces and keep it flowing. I may be wrong but 80 to 90k a year sounds more like someone with years of experience. I know a few guys who work production, one whos been doing it for 20 years or better and he might make close to that.

You looking close to 40-45k a yr starting out but if you get with a crew who Is willing to train and you are willing to learn you can advance quickly. Realistically you could close to double that in 5 yrs. Once you get up the ladder you cap out your salary then you can only look forward to cost of living raises.

With that pay seems like it would be more advantageous for someone young to try to get into operations in a refinery or chemical plant than go offshore.
