Life & Work in Extreme Conditions: This is Why Offshore Oil Rig Workers Earn High Salaries

This is amazing it's better than my hotel job

Check out the horror game "Still Wakes the Deep," it's a triple-A horror based on an oil rig off the shore of Scotland

Man. That job is cake

I’m an almost 60 yr old female, I can be super feminine & girly & am able to easily switch to my tom-boy side. But, boy I’d sure love to work as a merchant marine or on an oil platform. My great grandfather was a merchant marine during ww2 so maybe that’s where I get it. Dont think I’d care to work on a fishing boat in the North Sea tho. I have a huge fear of going down w a ship.

Great Machines

Masya Allah. 😭😭
your job is very risk 😭, may Allah always blessing you Fu...😭 We love you very much , we always with you Fu..😭🤲♥️
Take care of you, we are here with you 😭😭

40k - 60k for roughnecks?? I thought those guys were in the 100k range. I wouldn't touch roughnecking for 40 to 60k when I could go bartend and make the same.

My father is working there

Only 40k if you have no experience. Yeah no thank you. That’s ridiculous.

Great salary the most important

No green house impact ..bull

you got it all wrong. Your information is false, payment info in also wrong.
I worked 15 years on an oil rigs. Payment is much higher. Lowest that I know is 500 euro/day. Today is mostly around 800/day. There is no shift that starts at midnight, and working more than 14hours/ day happens only 2 times in a week.( or in emergency). Most bedrooms are private, no jail style bunks. Maybe you Americans have this uglyness, but I worked on 7 oil rigs all around the world , and I never saw what you described. Never worked on anmerican oil rig cause I didn't care much about their offers, payment was low and i don't want to work with Americans.
But if these are the facts on american oil rigs, then this is pure slavery and jail conditions.

How to apply

sign me up seems fun

Hold on! Does anyone think working on an oil rig is luxurious?

$40-$60K? I thought people made at least $100K on these

Greed! Greed! Greed! Destroying Mother Earth.

Why are there constant white dots all over the screen?

10 minutes of a whole of nothing. Don't waste your time watching this video.

They don't work 24 hours straight for 7 days lol... there are sleeping quarters and relief crews

60k a year?.... no thanks!!!

Don’t export gas to Korea China Japan

How did humans achieve this in little over 100 years 🤔

Do they really think wind energy is "environmentally friendly"...?

They disrupt bird migration routes.
Birds and flying mammals die when they collide with the blades, especially at night.
They require fossil oil for lubrication.
They emit vibrations that disrupt birds' location.
They alter air currents.
The blades are not recyclable; once they reach the end of their useful life, they end up in open-air graveyards.
If they are near the sea, the noise and vibrations generally disrupt the echolocation of fish and marine mammals.

I worked as an Independent Contractor for just over four years on a small FOB in Pasaab Province - Afghanistan. Also worked 12hr shifts, one day off per week. DFAC chow was okay-ish, mostly. Had to work outside 80% of the time, come summer heat (hovering around 50'C) or winter rain. Got the at least once a month random "hello there" rocket or morter over the Hesco walls. 28 days RnR was every 4-6 months, depending on availability. Internet black-outs was frequent, at least 2 out of every 10 days. No Cell signal. Got 68K per year. Think I was in the wrong trade ... But that first beer when departing Kabul for Dubai was heavenly.

working silently non stop??? Says a money hungry keyboard expert in nothing. Get a rig gig and learn summit.

good reason to invest in alternatives.. solar, wind...

You are full of " s" bye. I wish you'd stop.

Would u cheat on him honestly asking

how the hell you going to leave out the most essential aspect of all things offshore??? THE BOATS!!!!

Its all nice and sweet but no body tells you how to get a foot in the door.

I only heard break, break, meal break, training, courses, call their family, meal, ah yeah some work in beteween?....

I quit offshore work, since its not worth at all.. at first it seems promising but after few years it start pointless.. tbh in my country we paid very small amount of money since the company and contractors are going sh!ts.. lets say the company make a agreement with contractor for minimum wages and the contractor only pay 20% of real amount and said “its according your daily basic income our contract” and the 80% of it get into the company cash as profit. What now? Rich? Fair? No way! I suggest to every single oil company that interested to invest in my county +62 just getaway, you just make us more fatigue and desperate since your contract with the contractors are going fraud

All those breaks😮 I’m in😂

If they were only paying 40 to 60,000 a year to do that shit I would go crazy. I make 140 doing water treatment on the land. I work 100 hours a week, but I’m not getting kicked around by waves all day

Narration sucks butt
