Hi there great picture by the way my name is James and I am interested in working on the oil rigs. I am 17 years of age and I have been researching more in to the oil rigs and the different kinds of jobs over the last few months.

I was just wondering if you had any tips or company names to send my cv to I hope you don't mind if I speak to you and ask you a few questions about the oil rigs.

Hi! I'm from the Philippines and a mechanical engineer by profession. Im a very interested in working an oilrig either in offshore or in landbase oilrig. I worked as a process and an auxially operator in a carageenan refinery (American Firm) using state-of-the-art technology. With interest in working an oilrig, I undergo basic trainings in Oil Drilling Technology and Safety Trainings such as; SOLAS (Survival of Life at Sea), PSCRB (Profeciency in Survival Craft and Rescue Boat), MARPOL 73/78 (Marine Pollution)and recently Advance Fire Fighting. What would be a job in the oilrig that would fit my profession and experience. Thanks.

I have three years experience working on land based drilling rigs in Alberta, Canada. Some types include large jackknife triples which are very meager in size when compared to an offshore platform but the derrick is quite large and drill to depths of 6500 meters, telescopic doubles (both kelly drive and top drive), coil tubing rigs, and super singles. I am entering my final year of university to obtain my mechanical engineering degree and want to pursue a career in the offshore industry. I can work the floor to gain experience and to get my foot in the door. Anyone looking for a hand like me? e-mail drakai@ualberta.ca

Hi I am a recruitment consultant based in Malaysia and am looking for engineers for the oil and gas industry. Do contact me at christinechan@pplefirst.com if you are interested.

Please re read your comments Carol Charles. By spelling "noone" I can probably advise the spelling you mean is "no one".

Please have more acceptance of people who's first language may not be english.

Do you think I'd employ any of the above? I'd ask two questions - what was the Piper Alpha. What might be a safety case?

I have been in the game for about 14 years. Seeing some comments being left asking for help with employment is quite amusing. You obviously have a computer & the internet. Try researching "mining companies", "oil and/or gas exploration" and "engineering recruitment" to give you a start. Check recruitment websites for similar positions & read the profiles. This will give you a head start with knowing what jobs are being offered, the requirements and what companies are looking. Most permanent positions are advertised in large recruiting agency websites. Most casual (shutdown work) is never advertised. Use Google or Yahoo and search. Hint… spell & grammar check prior to posting comments. All the best. Great photos too.

To Mr Brae Apprentice

I don't think so Piper "A" was a good example in this discussion. With Respect to the People who lost their lives over there, the fact is that all POB was native. Arrogancy and lack of selfcriticism. What might be a safety case???

I would like to learn name of oil rig equipments/ components, such as platform, derrick, mast, substructure, chrismas tree etc. Please inform us, where we can browsing these photograph clearly. Thank you.

To anyone with any help on this!
I'm a lecturer in architecture, and I've been looking around the web for any type of tours of any offshore oil rig. For obvious reasons, I know that this is not typical (costs, safety, transit, etc), but I was hoping someone out there knew of a particular platform where a group visit would be possible. Again, any help would be much appreciated!
