Not that much needed to be honest.. I hear roughneck rates around the US gulf are 200 - 250 daily and thats for labouring etc but its not the kind of work that anyone with soft hands should contemplate.. 6 months on a building site or fishing boat though should give you some stamina to get stuck in..
The easiest gateway job I currently know of is the LST stuff...2 week training course and 180 USD/day for thier first job.. one year later its 250 or so daily.. They are untaxed and can be wherever they want in the off month. I am told Norway is one of the highest paying gigs around in the N sea.. I have no idea what your build is Jim (answering questions on roids perhaps your large) but obviously for physical work having a physique would help.. Try every norwegian oil company going.. Dutch shell also.. Taking any work you can get to gain some rig experience and training (safety course / heli drop / etc) would be good advise.. Also remember that the figures I give for wages are for oil contractors, these guys go anywhere (hell holes usually) whenever thier company says, and dont refuse work.. Having an oil carear or working for the same crowd ongoing might be less rates for more job security and stability.. I think another mate who has a share in a Kata bar is just discussing taking his first offshore position, apart from bar ownership (which is more a lifestyle choice) most guys I know here are involved in some way with oil industry. Right now is THE time to get started, the whole industrial sector is booming.

try look at http://www.aetat.no or http://www.finn.no if you want to work offshore inn norway or you can look at companies like Vetco aibel or Aker kværner there are plenty off work offshore in norway at the moment but you need som trade skills to get inn, the pay for working for a subcontractor offshore in norway as a trades person (pipefitters/welders/platers/scaffholder/insulator) is around 370+/- before tax and the tax rate will be around 35 for a normal rotasion of 2-3-2-4.

g'day.
the deal is if you don't know anyone who can get you a job get about 50 c.v. s printed and go to your local oil town, i.e. aberdeen or yarmouth in uk,perth in oz, stavanger in norway, canada i think is calgary, or all along the gulf coast of u.s. give a c.v. to every office in town then ring them every week until somebody gives you a job, it will help to have helicopter underwater escape training in some places. once you set foot on a rig you have experience and then you can take your pick but for a start just do the first one that pops up. right now is the best time in history to be getting a start in the oil industry so if you are keen enough it won't be very hard. most of the better paying expat positions need a bit of experience so it is normally easier to start in you home country or somewhere you can get a visa easily. great lifestyle for a single man who likes to travel, good luck

Sounds kinda fun, although they wouldn't ask me to go diving or anything i hope
 BTW these helicopter drops, is that just when you have to fly down the rope out of the helicopter and land on the oil rig

No its a mock heli rig that drops into the swimming pool and tips upside down.. You then have to get out of the rig through 'emergency' routes..
Standard offshore training.

help info needed...offshore
Quote:
Hehe yes and i can tell you if it was for real i woud be dead now. Its total dark and when they rotate you ,you total loose direction witch way you should go and where the emergency doors are. First time they just drop you down and rotate upside down and you hold your left or right arm at the window and follow that direction in the dark. But next time you also have to knock the window out before escape. Third time you also use a breathe bag that take a lot of your consentration away by learning how to use it,and if you loose consentration you have a problem. I my case the seatbelt was to short so i had the locker to far on the one side. When turning around and nock the window out could not get to the locker with my right arm and had to use the left one,and the left one was that one i shoud have pointed at the window to get the right direction. So i get stresssed and start wrestle with the locker at the seat belt with both arms And when i did that i loose directon, and when the locker was open your suit make you float away because of the pressure And then you are in big trouble. Afther that missrun i still had to take 2 new ones,remember i not was to happy with that,never feelt a smoke was so good before like afther that mission. But of course its a diver with you in the helli when you doing this. And he is helping you if he not are to busy with helping others

I understand there are no highlighted directions.. Whole point being getting out in the dark after being submerged and rotated.. Remembering your orientation and exit route without panicing etc
