I f you are considering a career in the offshore oil rig worker field and are
worried about the decline of oil production due to “Global Warming Alarmists” or the advent of “Green Technology” such as wind power, solar power or green auto fuel (made from corn or other farm crops and organic waste) forget about it; oil is here to stay.
It is economically impossible to replace oil and natural gas pumped from below the earths surface with any existing or new technology.
To satisfy your self just follow the market and see where the smart money is being invested. Even Boon Pickens is rethinking his massive wind farm in Texas.
Governor Elect Robert Mc Donnell of Virginia has petitioned Interior Secretary Ken Salazar to commence offshore drilling in the Virginia coast. There has been a 25 year moratorium on offshore drilling that expired last year.
More offshore oil rigs are being built and are on the drawing board for offshore oil fields globally. Some of these are costing as much as a billion US Dollars each.
There has never been a better time to pursue oil rig employment. There is opportunity worldwide in this high paying field. Rig Worker Jobs are available in almost every field and trade from roughneck to geologist from cooks to nurse and of course welders, pipe fitters and engineers of all types.
The Drawbacks of working on a offshore oil rig are being away from home 2-3 weeks at a time. This can be hard for those with families. There are many perks of which higher pay (about twice that for the same work on shore), good food, recreational and lounging facilities, dispensary and doctor or nurse 24/7; and the fishing is great.
