Is there a game/simulator I can buy to learn and train on how to work a operator console and keep a plant from blowing sky high?

Curious - took my first job as a roustabout, living at a man camp and was talking with my dad about the living conditions.

He said back in the day, the showers were set up communally. Just a shack with 4-16 shower heads, no privacy whatsoever. He said this was common both shoreside and especially offshore throughout the 80s and 90s.

Is this common nowadays? Seems crazy, we have private stalls at the camp I’m at now even though we share rooms. But it’d be good to know if I might run into it!

Where do you go to apply to these jobs? Online? If so what website/s? If physical, how do you know they are hiring before you show up? What are the major employers or contractors that people normally work for and do you recommend working for them? Also pay, what can I expect a weekly check to look like as someone with 0 experience in the field and looking for entry level position?

I have 1 year truck driving experience but no oilfield experience, I have tanker endorsement but no Hazmat

Know any good companies?

I know the work is objectively hard but I've always heard amd got the impression that it was extremely difficult. But I've also heard that about other tjings that turned out to be moderately difficult. So is the work really that hard?

Hey guys, anyone from India?

Hey everyone, lets put what job you are into and in what company, it might help freshers.

I’m working on a project that aims to better understand the needs in maritime safety and response (search and rescue + environmental disaster). I’ve created a short LLM enabled interview for anyone in government (DoD, state, federal), insurance, commercial shipping, fishing, oil & gas, or recreational boating.

The survey (5-10 minutes) focuses on areas like search and rescue, environmental response, and risk management. Your insights will be invaluable to developing a well-rounded perspective on these challenges.

Thank you for your time and expertise!

Anybody in Midland or Odessa?

Hey everyone,

I am currently trying to get hired as a Roustabout offshore in NL, I know there are BST/HUET and other certifications that are essentially mandatory, but they can cost a pretty penny that I don't have right now. I'd be willing to throw it on a credit card or something, but ideally not without a job first.

So I'm wondering what's the likelihood I get hired without the training vs. with the training? Just want to know if I should bite the bullet first.

Thanks guys.

Is the job title "Tech Prof - Completions" at Halliburton the same as a field-based Completion Engineer? What are the typical responsibilities for this role, and what are some common interview questions I might expect for this position?

I'm specifically interested in understanding if the "Tech Prof - Completions" role involves field-based tasks like a Completion Engineer, or if it's more focused on technical support and project management. Also, any tips on what kind of technical or behavioral questions might be asked during the interview would be helpful!

Surely, I am not the only one experiencing this...

I swear to god. If I have to create a new outlook rule 1 more time because someone changes the LAH email subject to something else. I cannot keep my email inbox filtered.

I have one rig, which will change the way they do the subject line for two weeks, and then the logistics guy is swapped out to someone else, who changes the subject line again because they think the way they do it is better. Then after another two weeks, they will change well and swap out people, then the subject line will be completely different.

I have other rigs that cannot keep a standard subject heading for me to filter my email. I need something in your subject line that says, Rig_Client or Rig_Campaign that remains the same throughout the campaign. Not Rig_BOPMaintenance or RIG_WELL, operations change frequently. Some of you guys drill top hole for all wells and then switch the well very frequently for example. I don't want to set up a new outlook rule for 10 rigs that change operations. 10 rigs doing 16 wells each is 160 different email subject line rules I have to manage. If you swap out people like the first rig described, I could be making double that, 320 email subject rules.

Some of you guys have it down packed with Client_Rig_LAH, that is perfect, and I appreciate it.

Kind regards,

Frustrated Service Company Engineer

What is a good lateral move for a service rig manager that has a better schedule/similar pay?

We recently attended ADIPEC 2024 and took away some incredible insights from this gathering of oil and gas professionals. Inspired by what we learned, I put together this recap video to share some highlights and key takeaways.

If you find it valuable, please give it a like—it’ll help us reach more folks in our industry who couldn’t attend

I hear a lot of people talk about ND and making a good living!

But I don't hear a lot of people talking about going to Alaska and making a killing. I've been super curious and started looking into heading up to the northern Slope. I've been finding more jobs for laborers than anything on a rig.

Anyone got experience in Alaska? How's it like compared to ND or is it a complete diffrent animal.

Hey, I just accepted an offer from a big company and I’ll be starting at the end of next week as a trainee for the first 6 months or so and then I’ll be a wireline field engineer. Wireline at the company works both on OH and CH. I just need advice on what to expect in terms of everything. Any Advice/input of you guys will be appreciated.

I am an immigrant to Canada and worked here in the health care for almost a decade. I kinda had to be in that field in order to immigrate. Before coming to Canada I was a train conductor in my home country. I do have a railway degree from my home country as well. But that all work experience was 10+ years ago.

I really want to get into cementing and consider it as a good entrance into an oil and gas sector.

What should I do to get a cementing job in Alberta considering that my recent work experience is completely in the different field?

Thanks!

Is it difficult to jump into the O&G industry after working in a different sector? For background, I've been working in the chemical industry for half a year and just graduated in May in Chemical Engineering.

I don’t have oil experience but I do have extensive experience in construction does anyone know a good spot in North Dakota

I just got new status on my job application I applied a week ago from “New Application” to “Under Consideration” in Halliburton’s recruitment system, have anyone experienced in this situation of how the process goes? I usually only got rejection email so this kind of thing makes me smile for a bit and want to start prepare 🥲

Expecting an offer by the end of this week, does anyone have any experience with Honeywell UOP or working in this role? It sounds like an incredibly hard job with lots of overtime and travel. What would a standard offer be in terms of total compensation?

We are roughly 1000 feet into the robinson formation in the illinois basin, and most of the wells are either drilled~1910 or 1985. At one lease im trying to figure out how to improve our recovery. ive been looking at the historic well data for the oil producing wells, and the water injecting wells. On one side of the road they made 9998bbl water 1bbl oil a day when drilled, while on the other side less than 300 yards away they made 3bbl oil 2bbl water. Are they just drilled too deep or something? Im kinda new to oil industry and ive been teaching myself a lot, so please dont be afraid to throw big words and industry jargon at me, ill figure it out. I can answer questions and provide other data, but sporadically as I am working all day 7 days a week

I’m from Ontario trying to start in the oil and gas field. I would appreciate any advice on what the best way about it is I’m starting my hs2 and cso certifications next week. Along side my first aid. Thanks in advance

Looking for a swamper on a tbed. Prob on a picker the odd time as well. Really not that difficult of work, unless you want it to be lol. Good way to get a foot in the door or maybe even get an apprenticeship out of.

I've been trying for months to find an entry level floorhand job. I would prefer a fifo as I currently don't have a car. As well as one with lodging provided. I have furniture delivery(12-16 hr days constantly lifting over 200lbs), delivery and Technician experience but I can't find anything. I have a pending Dui case set for trial Dec 6th. I applied to deep well in PA but have not heard back. I honestly at this point don't mind that it's 28/14. I'm 31 and really just want to find a job in this field.

I’m currently working as a pumper truck operator in the oil patch in Alberta. Been bored of it and thinking of moving to be a trucker since I already have class 1 license and drive our trucks.

Got a job offer from the oil waste removal company driving a tanker truck. It’s about picking the waste oil material from places like coal mines, oil rigs, mechanical shops, etc. Requires running hoses, putting on chains, operating a pump. Is it worth accepting?

It’s 5/2 schedule with the weekend off and I’ve been told I’ll be easily making 100k a year. It’s $26 an hour+overtime after 8 hours+$1k bonus for every 200k litres of oil hauled.

Hi there started my job about 2 months ago (LDAR tech lol ) and i’m gone about every week but home every weekend started to get kind of serious with this girl but can tell the travel is starting to affect our relationship obviously it takes the right girl but just wondering if anyone has any tips or suggestions this also might be the wrong place to post this but thought it’d apply just because of the field

I’m working for a midstream company, and while I’m experienced in the industry, I’m new to PODS data. Currently, we’re upgrading from PODS version 4 to version 7, with a vendor assisting us in this process. The upgrade involves new tools, including ArcPro, branch versioning, and utility networks.

Years ago, we established survey standards, and all pipeline data is collected and stored in a primary database. This database feeds into PODS, essentially creating a subset of the original data provided by surveyors. However, certain modifications—like snapping lines and features—are only applied within the PODS dataset and don’t affect the original database.

With this upgrade, we have an opportunity to fully redefine our workflow. For those who’ve gone through similar transitions, how have you approached managing this workflow? Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
