Oil rigs, also known as oil platforms, are complex structures designed and built to extract oil from the ground and store it temporarily. Many oil rigs today are located offshore. They come in many sizes and configurations and may be fixed permanently to the ocean floor, or they may float. Some of the floating oil rigs are the largest moveable structures on earth. As oil exploration around the world becomes more focused on offshore fields, the number of offshore oil rigs will continue to increase.

Jobs on an Oil Platform

There are many different jobs on oil rigs. There are skilled and professional jobs such as managers, engineers, control room technicians, helicopter pilots, production technicians, crane operators, maintenance personnel, automation specialists, chefs, fire control personnel, operations planners and watercraft technicians. There are also a significant number of unskilled labor jobs on each oil rig.These include people who clean, cook, wash clothing, move equipment and supplies, do odd jobs, and handle pipe used in drilling. Unskilled laborers are often called roughnecks and roustabouts. Oil exploration and drilling companies devote a great deal of time, effort and resources to safe operations. However, no matter how much emphasis management places on safety, oil rigs are inherently dangerous. Consequently, people who work on oil rigs are usually very well compensated, even those in unskilled jobs.

Work Schedules on an Oil Platform

Typically, oil rig jobs entail living on the oil platform. Most people work as part of a crew that stays on the rig for a set period of time before being replaced by another crew. Personnel travel to and from an offshore oil rig by helicopter. Usually, oil companies follow a seven-day or fourteen-day schedule. This means that a crew works for seven or fourteen days consecutively and then takes seven or fourteen days off. Most oil rigs run on a shift schedule consisting of two twelve-hours shifts each day. Some people find these schedules grueling, but others do not mind the long shifts and enjoy the long downtime periods.
