Its not true. As someone that can get go there when he want (I work for a famous oil company) my offer was 10k € at month, with maybe 15k years after. But the problem is: the people that work in those place are so few, that when you request to stop that job, in the best case it would took you a year to stop. (For stop I DO NOT MEAN just go back to land, for every month there you get 2 week on land, but i mean litteraly go to another job) I know a guy at work, (the one that stopped me to go) That took 15 years to stop that job. E also could not be with his father in his last moments, because there was no way to get him back on land in time. You can fire yoursef, but not only blacklist you, you lose many benefits, and you are also fined. as the contracts are for an unlimited time.

The only person making that kind of money is whoever is in charge of the whole thing. And remember you don't do a full 12 months there, you do 6, you rotate in and out.

Wow well in 1986 when I lived in Germany US Dollar to English Pound was basically 50 £ to 100 dollars now it’s .79£ to 1 dollar so the person was dealing in US when he said 50 k which is 39296. If he said he makes 700£ day to on two off. That’s 9800£ which equals 12469.96 k so not close I know my grandfather worked on the oil rigs off of SanPedro and when he retired at 50 he payed for everything cash because he was a millionaire. His wife owned oil rigs in Texas. When he died he left everything to her and her kids got everything. I’m fine with that she was with him and he had his reasons! But yeah I’m sure some jobs make more then others he was a crane operator and he did it for 10 years. Man could take a silver dollar and put it in his palm and bend it n half! Tough old man!

This set him up nicely in life without debt and he actually retired at age 55 because of this.

The only time it can get iffy is during a hurricane or severe tropical storm/blizzard depending on where the rig is at. I've worked derricks in the Gulf of Mexico and the North Sea as well as land rigs in Texas, Louisiana(my home state), Mississippi, and Alabama. If you can handle being gone for short periods and having coworkers picking at you, then a rig is great. There are times you can relax the whole hitch...and there are times you work nonstop like having to trip pipe or having a wash out. Roughnecking ain't bad for those that can handle it...and when you work your way up to the derrick, it's great!!!

The monthly salary varies but its most commonly between $20,000 and $30,000 depending the length of your contract and the nature of the work its not $50,000, also nobody is allowed to work for more than 120 days on the oil rig for health and safety protocols. (Worked for Aramco in 2018 on the Arabian Gulf)
@Mustang-bk4ns5 ай бұрын
120 days or roughly 4 months? Is there a time gap before they can do their next 120day/4 month service?
@extricos5 ай бұрын
@@Mustang-bk4ns You will have to be off the oil rig for 6 weeks before you are allowed to return, that's why most companies you will be working with will only give you a contract that needs to be renewed every 120 days. So in essence after you return, you will be given a new contract and shift pattern. Hope that helps
@extricos5 ай бұрын
Also this only applies to the company you have worked for, its common practice in the industry for workers to jump ship to other companies in order to continue their work flow and earnings without being off for 6 weeks. This only applies if you decide to work for non-American companies as American companies are all tied in under one banner.

Men and women we all know it will end in the person staying home cheating. Maybe not right away but after the second to fourth year it will happen. Even if that person is the most loyal person on this planet or it might even be the person that is away that ends up cheating. To not have that happen to you, you would have to stay single wether its your partner at home or yourself at work. Might as well save yourself all the wasted time and suffering mentality.

I have a friend who we all considered a psycopath since school days.. he worked in a rig like this in the arabian sea near Gujarat in India. 3-4 years ago during a cyclone, my boy was the only guy who chose not to leave the rig when the Navy helicopters came to rescue people. He decided to stay on the rig (the company and the govt both let him stay because they liked the idea of letting the rig run unless things went really bad and needed an emergency stoppage). Don't worry, he is still alive and extremely healthy and even more audacious post that incident. The storm literally changed directions after the others were evacuated. He was paid handsomely by his company for his exceptional courage. Got a promotion as well.. makes now around 25k USD a month.

I’d love to be a cook on one of these, my dad did this about 50 years ago in Costa Rica, he loved it, but missed his 3 daughters and wife so much. When she stopped writing him he got concerned and went home after being out there for several months. She and his daughters were gone, to make matters worse, she went before a judge telling him that he abandoned them, and didn’t know where he was. So a divorce was granted, she quickly married her lover that she left him for, and because he “abandoned” them her new husband was allowed to adopt the girls. He became so depressed, always looking for them, he never went back to the rig. Later on he married my divorced mom with her 3 kids, me being one of them, and he was my dad until 2018 when he passed away.
