It is essential that an individual that desires this type of employment embody certain qualities. In addition, because the salary and benefits that accompany these jobs are premium the competition for available positions is great.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before making the decision to apply for a job with an offshore oil rig it is important that one evaluate their own individual strengths and weaknesses. Most positions working on oil rig are very physically demanding. So, applicants for most available positions must be in excellent health and in above average physical condition. Be prepared to submit to an extensive physical during the hiring process, because of the nature of the job no companies will hire you with out requesting a physical. Oil rigs are also isolated, so the individuals that successfully work on them tend to be independent in nature and don't have an issue being away from their loved ones for extended periods of time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, accommodations on most oil rigs are excellent. Many are compared to the quality one would receive while staying in an upscale hotel. Most oil rigs boast similar amenities to hotels, like cable, access to gym facilities and free meals that are rumored to be excellent. The only negative side to some accommodations is that they can tend to cramped as you are typically residing in a shared suite with up to four other individuals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you lack experience working in the field, you may want to consider applying for one of the many entry level positions offered aboard the oil rig your applying with. Companies tend to lean towards experienced applicants who have actually worked on an oil rig rather than in related fields. Some of the entry level positions one might consider include Deckhands, Roustabout, catering and general service staff. Taking work with an offshore rig in any position is a step in the right direction, because it gains you invaluable experience and provides numerous opportunities for advancement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jobs in the offshore oil industry are plentiful and many people earn a great living working them. Companies are constantly seeking both skilled and non-skilled workers to join their ranks. So, if you like to travel, love adventure and live for a good challenge than the offshore oil industry is perfect for you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Visit http://www.riggingcareers.com Today for More Information and To Find Your Own Job on an Offshore Oil Rig!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/70451179779756229-6229074240602163534?l=oil-and-gas-jobs.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://oil-and-gas-jobs.blogspot.com/feeds/6229074240602163534/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=70451179779756229&amp;postID=6229074240602163534' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/70451179779756229/posts/default/6229074240602163534'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/70451179779756229/posts/default/6229074240602163534'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://oil-and-gas-jobs.blogspot.com/2009/11/offshore-oil-rig-jobs-can-you-get-job.html' title='Offshore Oil Rig Jobs -- Can You Get a Job With an Offshore Oil Rigging Company'/><author><name>KhairilHazwan</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='01814200201018781950'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-70451179779756229.post-5477895363364224530</id><published>2009-09-29T04:55:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-09-29T04:55:56.170-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Happy Eid Mubarak</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://testi.iluvislam.com"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3095/2888453899_5f6595ef02.jpg" border="0"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Dapatkan Mesej Bergambar Di Sini&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/70451179779756229-5477895363364224530?l=oil-and-gas-jobs.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://oil-and-gas-jobs.blogspot.com/feeds/5477895363364224530/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=70451179779756229&amp;postID=5477895363364224530' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/70451179779756229/posts/default/5477895363364224530'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/70451179779756229/posts/default/5477895363364224530'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://oil-and-gas-jobs.blogspot.com/2009/09/happy-eid-mubarak.html' title='Happy Eid Mubarak'/><author><name>KhairilHazwan</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='01814200201018781950'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-70451179779756229.post-8451148172768258590</id><published>2009-09-11T07:50:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-09-11T07:51:59.299-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Hot Jobs in the Oil and Gas Industry</title><content type='html'>By Daan Theron &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are many vacancies for jobs in the oil and gas industry.

I will share my experience how to face the process with you. Interviews process is the second step in getting offshore jobs where you will meet the potential employers after the first step that an applicant has successfully completed sending the application and passed the screening process of the company.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The offshore companies usually get the resumes of the candidates by several of sources such as news paper advertisement, campus fair, a referral from your senior or lecturer, or by a person who simply submitted an application by logging on the company website.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are tips that will help in having a successful offshore jobs interview for new graduate; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please remember when you are taking the phone call or any invitation method, please do not forget to get the company name, business involve, contact person, email address, and phone number. &lt;br /&gt;Some days before meeting the interviewer, it is strongly recommended to do some research about the company. &lt;br /&gt;You have to prepare for general question that usually being asked in the meeting such as: What is your strength point and weakness point, why you want to join this offshore company, how long you will be stay with the company, salary expectation, etc. &lt;br /&gt;Try to practice with friends or families member to mock up questions that the employer will likely ask so you do not choke during the real time. &lt;br /&gt;You have to arrive 10 to 15 minutes ahead of time to give you enough time to relax and to show to the employers that you are a punctual guy, as you know that offshore jobs needs punctual time and downtime for some minutes will cause the company loosing thousands of dollars. &lt;br /&gt;Bring an extra copy of the resume and other documents that are needed, some time it will be useful for you. &lt;br /&gt;Dress appropriately. This shows the employer sincerity on the part of the applicant applying for the job. The outfit worn should be professional. &lt;br /&gt;Remove your jewelry and tone it down for the interview. Offshore safety regulation is very stringent; wearing jewelry may cause a hazard for you if you are in the offshore job site. The interviewer may give you minus value if you are wearing it. &lt;br /&gt;Smile and greet the interviewer with a firm (but not bone crushing) hand shake . &lt;br /&gt;In the session of interview, listen very well to the questions asked. Each must be answered truthfully and confidently to be able to sell yourself to the potential employer. &lt;br /&gt;If the interviewer gives you time for asking something that not clear, use the time as necessary, ask important thing that you need to know. &lt;br /&gt;Before the session being ended, ask politely if for interviewers contact detail. You will need it for sending thanks letter. &lt;br /&gt;Do not forget to thank to the recruiter for the time that was given to meet him and interview time. &lt;br /&gt;Once you get home, prepare a thank letter and send it as soon as possible. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can improve your performance once you have face some offshore jobs interviews.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Getting an offshore job is a nice starting career for new graduates since the company will pay you more and for sure above the average. However you should realize that there are many other that become your competitors. Once your cover letter and resume has been selected for further process or you got an invitation letter from the offshore company for interview then you have to prepare it carefully otherwise you will miss it. You have to prepare the answers related to what kind of questions that most likely will be asked and practice it at home so you will be relax during the session. if you find other tips and find offshore jobs, please visit Offshore Jobs Interview Tips.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/70451179779756229-5145025525216929314?l=oil-and-gas-jobs.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://oil-and-gas-jobs.blogspot.com/feeds/5145025525216929314/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=70451179779756229&amp;postID=5145025525216929314' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/70451179779756229/posts/default/5145025525216929314'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/70451179779756229/posts/default/5145025525216929314'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://oil-and-gas-jobs.blogspot.com/2009/08/offshore-oil-jobs-do-you-have-what-it.html' title='Offshore Jobs - Interview Tips'/><author><name>KhairilHazwan</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='01814200201018781950'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-70451179779756229.post-2282461985067588444</id><published>2009-07-09T00:27:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-07-09T00:28:23.353-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='oil and gas jobs'/><title type='text'>New Oil Reserves Needed As Oil Prices &amp; Jobs Increase</title><content type='html'>New Oil Reserves Needed As Oil Prices &amp; Jobs Increase&lt;br /&gt;By Duncan Freer &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Oil and Gas Industry is huge because the use of these natural resources is present in every aspect of modern life. Not only are these resources used as fuel but are ever present in the manufacture of everyday materials such as plastic, itself omnipresent in today's world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Within the Oil and Gas industry exploration is one of the fastest growing areas. As oil runs out, new reserves have to be found. Also newer methods of obtaining the oil need to be researched and developed. As the more accessible oil fields are used up new oil fields are found that are simply unobtainable through existing drilling methods. The exploration sector of the Oil and Gas Industry covers jobs such as geologists, drilling engineers, reservoir engineers and production engineers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Commonly if there are cut backs in the 'upstream' jobs then there are cuts across the whole of the sector; similarly the adverse is also true. With an increase in jobs in the 'upstream' sector more jobs become available in the 'midstream' and 'downstream' sectors. Midstream jobs are concerned with the transportation and refining whereas downstream jobs are wholesalers and retailers. Of course there is a period of delay whilst upstream jobs increase in order to find new reserves, or easier ways of drilling existing reserves, but once more oil is made available for production and sale then the demand for midstream and downstream jobs grows proportionately.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Simply put, as oil prices soar, more oil is needed to bring the cost down and as jobs increase more oil is needed to work with. New oil reserves are found on a regular basis. Last year, for example, Brazil found a huge new oil reserve off of its coast. The new reserve, believed to contain between 5 and 8 billion barrels of attainable oil, is set to make Brazil one of the world's largest oil producing nations. What's more it is set to guarantee job growth in the sector into the near future.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, even within the current economic climate of a global crunch, there is one market sector that is set to expand regardless. Whereas in other sectors, such as construction, jobs are being cut Oil and Gas Jobs are on the rise at all levels in upstream, midstream and downstream areas. In order to combat the affect that increased oil prices will have on every other aspect of life and in every other job market an increase in jobs in this sector becomes crucial.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oil and gas price increases affect us all; not only does heating our homes become more expensive but so does the price of a loaf of bread as transportation costs grow due to fuel price increases and so on. Therefore the exploration and discovery of new reserves becomes a major priority; good news if you are looking for one of the rewarding jobs in this sector.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Duncan freer - Director - Oil and Gas Jobs Search is a job site dedicated to the specific needs of candidates who work in the Oil and Gas industry.

Ensuring a safe supply to those countries dependent on oil and gas for their economic prosperity is a difficult challenge the oil and gas industry has to face up to with depleting supplies and more countries becoming more dependent every day. Perhaps unsurprisingly this has led to a greater number of project management jobs in smaller countries where the emphasis is on working with the people and securing their future in terms of cleaner and sustainable fuel production.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whatever your discipline, from engineering to geology and exploration engineering, there is a position within the oil and gas industry to accommodate your skills. Most oil and gas jobs will require a basic understanding of the challenges faced by the industry today and some will form a platform for the beginnings of solutions to those problems. Becoming part of the solution to a global problem is the toughest challenge the industry has ever had to face is what makes starting a new career in the oil and gas industry appealing to many.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Providing an oil and gas supply to consumers throughout the world may involve a great deal of traveling to ensure supply is reliable and clean. Depending on your role, it could also involve working in harsh environments such as drilling jobs offshore in the North Sea to supplying energy onshore to meet the high demands of the UK alone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The main areas of work within the oil and gas industry are:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Exploration drilling and production &lt;br /&gt;Construction jobs and fabrication &lt;br /&gt;Engineering and research &lt;br /&gt;Installation piping jobs and maintenance jobs &lt;br /&gt;Equipment supply&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Each of these areas has a wealth of positions available. Having a degree in your chosen area of work within this industry will of course stand you in the best stead as so many vocational degrees involve practical training and experience. Whether you're looking for a project engineering job or a mechanical job, a background in engineering will stand you in good stead in the oil and gas industry and give employers the confidence that you are able to meet the needs of this global sector. However, even without an engineering or related qualification, there are now many ways to enter into the oil or gas sector than ever before, and those with people management skills are as welcome as those who have previously been involved with installation and piping jobs in unrelated industries.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Working towards alternative solutions for the replacement of fossil resources, sourcing cleaner energy production methods which respond to climate change and finding methods of extraction which are secure and respect the area being mined are all aspects of the nature of the industry. Changing to meet the needs of the consumer and protecting the planet are both relevant considerations in industry's recruitment drive with an increased awareness of production alternatives and their impact becoming number one priority on most companies lists.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Duncan Freer - Director - Oil and Gas Jobs Search is a job site dedicated to the specific needs of candidates who work in the Oil and Gas industry.

Undoubtedly, the best way is to have a friend or relative working on an oil rig recommend you for an open position. Unfortunately, most of us don't have this convenient option. So, what can you do to find yourself a job on an offshore oil rig?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) Online job boards (e.g. Monster). One great advantage is that you can easily set up a free account on online job boards like Monster. Once you have your account, you can immediately search for offshore oil drilling jobs posted there. Unfortunately, there are 3 major problems with this approach. Firstly, almost every other job seeker is also searching for a job on these online job boards. Secondly, most job boards cater to the lowest common denominator - many non-executive oil industry jobs are not supported. Thirdly, not all employers post their jobs to online job boards. Although your account is free, employers often have to pay for their accounts either annually or monthly. Despite the disadvantages, this is still a step you need to do because big oil companies will post their jobs to online job boards.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) Newspaper job postings. Oil companies also advertise open positions on national and local newspapers, so this is another place you definitely have to look at. Generally speaking, large oil companies will post in national newspapers, while smaller companies post in local newspapers. In other words, while you can find jobs from large companies in the newspapers, you probably won't find jobs from smaller companies unless they have a local headquarters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) Share market. Look up the Wilshire stock index. This contains the 5000 largest public-listed companies in the US. You should be able to find quite a number of oil companies in this list. This method takes some work, but the greatest advantage is that almost no one else is doing it. Additionally, you will not find any fly-by-night companies or recruitment agencies here. This is straight to the source, bypassing all the middle-men.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4) Internet. Type in "oil company" (and its variations) in Google, Yahoo and MSN to get a list of possible employers. Drill down into the company's website until you find the contact information. Just because they do not have a recruitment page, or do not have any openings listed does not mean they do not have any jobs available. It usually takes time for a vacancy to actually move its way from the field to HR to the company's website and other job postings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5) Oil industry recruiter. I have to qualify this one a little. I am not talking about headhunters for high-level management executives, but online agencies which help you to submit your resumes to oil companies for a small fee. There are only a few honest agencies - they actually collect a database of oil companies. When you realize that there are thousands of oil companies in the US and abroad, having this database available to you is definitely worth the small fee they charge. Each agency has a slightly different database, so I recommend that you keep track of the resumes they send out for you. Start with one agency. If it can't produce results, then move on to the next, but only send your resume to oil companies you have not hit yet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Use all 5 techniques together to find offshore oil drilling jobs will produce the fastest results. The first two methods produce the highest quality jobs, but also have the highest competition. Searching for oil companies through the share indexes and internet will not find you many openings, but the openings you find will have almost zero competition. The last method is probably the most productive, but you risk falling prey to scams.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;RigWorker.com has been helping people get offshore oil drilling jobs since 1998.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Click here to learn how we can help you get your offshore oil drilling job&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/70451179779756229-1640140331091983926?l=oil-and-gas-jobs.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://oil-and-gas-jobs.blogspot.com/feeds/1640140331091983926/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=70451179779756229&amp;postID=1640140331091983926' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/70451179779756229/posts/default/1640140331091983926'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/70451179779756229/posts/default/1640140331091983926'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://oil-and-gas-jobs.blogspot.com/2009/07/offshore-oil-drilling-jobs-5-sure-fire.html' title='Offshore Oil Drilling Jobs - 5 Sure-Fire Techniques to Find Jobs in the Oil Industry'/><author><name>KhairilHazwan</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='01814200201018781950'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-70451179779756229.post-6375407696931361357</id><published>2009-07-09T00:23:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-07-09T00:24:07.221-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Oil And Gas Investments'/><title type='text'>Offshore Oil Jobs - Do You Have What It Takes?</title><content type='html'>Offshore Oil Jobs - Do You Have What It Takes?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By Calvin Loh &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Offshore oil jobs are going to be hot for the coming decade. Why? With oil prices passing $100 and expected to hit $200 due to a variety of uncertainties in the supply, companies are eagerly coughing up the multi-million and billion dollars needed to build the oil rigs and pipelines needed to get more oil. Those oil rigs are not going to run themselves. They need to hire people to run those oil rigs. Which means plenty of jobs all around... If you have what it takes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is a reason why offshore oil jobs pay so well. The terms danger pay and hardship pay comes to mind. It doesn't mean you need to have the stamina to run a marathon, because oil rigs do have admin staff, but the isolation can easily get to you. You'll be out in the middle of the ocean for anywhere from 2 weeks to 6 weeks, seeing the same faces over and over, day and night. There is no escape to the mall, there is no escape to the bar for a drink, there is no such thing as getting away for the evening. If you've ever worked in cubicle land, imagine doing this for 14 to 42 days straight, without a weekend.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It can get creepy out there in the middle of nowhere. Who knows when you may need to stand watch with no one else nearby? Have you ever seen those horror movies? There are two times when you tend to feel most scared and alone - when you are in the middle of a storm, and when the sea is dead calm without even a breeze in the air or a ripple in the ocean. It is easy to say you don't scare easy now, but wait until you are standing watch alone on the rig, and the night is so quiet you could hear a pin drop and the sea is dead calm.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So you think that you'll be hired to work on a spanking new oil rig and nothing can go wrong? You obviously have never done any work for a dot com. In boom times, everyone cuts corners. Murphy's Law is your constant shadow. Your brand new oil rig is probably using some new technologies. There's no telling what will go wrong. As opposed to an older oil rig, where the things that will go wrong are mostly known. What am I getting at? Old rig or new rig, things can go wrong. And some of those problems can be pretty hair-raising.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You ain't no wimp. You can handle anything? Maybe. Let's try this: have you ever flown on an airliner caught in a storm, and heard the wings creaking away? Or caught in the toilet in a high-rise apartment in the middle of an earthquake? Being stuck in the middle of a storm on an oil rig can be much worse.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Basically, to survive offshore oil jobs, you need plenty of guts and you need to be mentally tough. You also need to be strongly motivated, otherwise it is too easy to hide under your blanket in the morning and say you don't want to get up. To do well, you also need to learn fast, and work hard. These are the qualities you will need to work and prosper in the offshore oil industry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;RigWorker.com has been helping people get offshore oil jobs since 1998.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Click here to to learn how we can help you get your offshore oil job&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/70451179779756229-6375407696931361357?l=oil-and-gas-jobs.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://oil-and-gas-jobs.blogspot.com/feeds/6375407696931361357/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=70451179779756229&amp;postID=6375407696931361357' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/70451179779756229/posts/default/6375407696931361357'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/70451179779756229/posts/default/6375407696931361357'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://oil-and-gas-jobs.blogspot.com/2009/07/offshore-oil-jobs-do-you-have-what-it.html' title='Offshore Oil Jobs - Do You Have What It Takes?'/><author><name>KhairilHazwan</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='01814200201018781950'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-70451179779756229.post-9040376837654892639</id><published>2009-07-09T00:20:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-07-09T00:22:58.314-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Offshore Oil Rig Jobs -- Can You Get a Job With an Offshore Oil Rigging Company?</title><content type='html'>Offshore Oil Rig Jobs -- Can You Get a Job With an Offshore Oil Rigging Company?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By Victor Vargo &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When seeking employment within the offshore oil rig industry there are many things to consider. It is essential that an individual that desires this type of employment embody certain qualities. In addition, because the salary and benefits that accompany these jobs are premium the competition for available positions is great.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before making the decision to apply for a job with an offshore oil rig it is important that one evaluate their own individual strengths and weaknesses. Most positions working on oil rig are very physically demanding. So, applicants for most available positions must be in excellent health and in above average physical condition. Be prepared to submit to an extensive physical during the hiring process, because of the nature of the job no companies will hire you with out requesting a physical. Oil rigs are also isolated, so the individuals that successfully work on them tend to be independent in nature and don't have an issue being away from their loved ones for extended periods of time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, accommodations on most oil rigs are excellent. Many are compared to the quality one would receive while staying in an upscale hotel. Most oil rigs boast similar amenities to hotels, like cable, access to gym facilities and free meals that are rumored to be excellent. The only negative side to some accommodations is that they can tend to cramped as you are typically residing in a shared suite with up to four other individuals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you lack experience working in the field, you may want to consider applying for one of the many entry level positions offered aboard the oil rig your applying with. Companies tend to lean towards experienced applicants who have actually worked on an oil rig rather than in related fields. Some of the entry level positions one might consider include Deckhands, Roustabout, catering and general service staff. Taking work with an offshore rig in any position is a step in the right direction, because it gains you invaluable experience and provides numerous opportunities for advancement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jobs in the offshore oil industry are plentiful and many people earn a great living working them. Companies are constantly seeking both skilled and non-skilled workers to join their ranks. So, if you like to travel, love adventure and live for a good challenge than the offshore oil industry is perfect for you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Visit http://www.riggingcareers.com Today for More Information and To Find Your Own Job on an Offshore Oil Rig!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/70451179779756229-9040376837654892639?l=oil-and-gas-jobs.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://oil-and-gas-jobs.blogspot.com/feeds/9040376837654892639/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=70451179779756229&amp;postID=9040376837654892639' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/70451179779756229/posts/default/9040376837654892639'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/70451179779756229/posts/default/9040376837654892639'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://oil-and-gas-jobs.blogspot.com/2009/07/offshore-oil-rig-jobs-can-you-get-job.html' title='Offshore Oil Rig Jobs -- Can You Get a Job With an Offshore Oil Rigging Company?'/><author><name>KhairilHazwan</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='01814200201018781950'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-70451179779756229.post-8474150067155274315</id><published>2009-07-08T23:58:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-07-09T00:00:34.195-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Oil and Gas Industry'/><title type='text'>Oil Field Jobs - Qualified Geoscientists Needed by Oil and Gas Industry</title><content type='html'>Oil Field Jobs - Qualified Geoscientists Needed by Oil and Gas Industry&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By Jeff Craft &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Studying geosciences at the university level will qualify you for several types of positions. Once you have finished your education, you will not be limited to positions in the United States and Canada. Job opportunities also exist overseas for people with this type of training.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Geoscientists work in the field, often in remote locations. They study the Earth's structure and composition and may be involved in work involving locating ground water, minerals, and petroleum. Some geoscientists choose to work with environmental agencies to preserve the environment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Geologists specialize in studying how rocks were formed and how their composition changes over time. Part of their work may involve analyzing fossils of plants and animals. Engineering geologists combine the fields of engineering and geology to make recommendations on major construction and natural hazard hazard-reduction projects.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You may want to consider working in the petroleum industry. This career option is exciting to graduates, since it allows them to work in a hi-tech environment. Hiring companies are generous with their compensation packages, and you may be offered bonuses, specialized training, and a flexible work schedule in addition to your base salary.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A petroleum geoscientist is asked to compile and analyze seismic data and well data to recommend locations for the company to drill. To be considered for employment with a medium or a large company, you will need to complete your Bachelor's Degree in Geology or Geologic Engineering and a Master's Degree in Structural Geology, Sedimentology, Stratigraphy, or Geophysics.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After you have a few years of experience, you can move to a smaller company which will offer you a higher salary. Hiring managers appreciate the fact that you have been trained by a larger company and are prepared to pay a premium for having you on the payroll.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The mining industry is another area where geoscience graduates can find work. Geology graduates are hired to conduct geological studies and evaluate mineral deposits. They may be required to prepare reports and update maps indicating where deposits are located.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You will be working in either a mine or a manufacturing plant. Being comfortable climbing stairs and ladders is a necessity, along with being comfortable working on an elevated platform. In performing your duties, you may be required to perform moderate lifting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you are interested in applying for a job with a mining company, do keep in mind that these are drug and alcohol-free workplaces. You will be asked to submit to a pre-employment drug screening test and after being hired, the company will likely perform random drug tests.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If neither of these options is of interest, then you may be interested in working for the federal government. The United States Geological Survey employs more than 9,500 people in offices located throughout the United States. Employees are hired for entry-level, intermediate, and senior positions. If you have a degree in biology, geography, geology, hydrology, or information sciences, you can apply for a job with the USGC.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As you can see, there are many interesting and well-paying job opportunities in the geosciences field. If you chose to work in the petroleum industry, you will be given the same types of job benefits that other industry employees enjoy. A generous salary, pension plan, tuition assistance, and an employee assistance program are just a few of the perks available to you as a geosciences grad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A person who finds the earth's structure interesting who also enjoys working outside may be attracted to the mining industry. Government agencies can offer you a work environment closer to home, along with relative job security.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Studying geosciences is a great way to prepare for an oil field job or career in the mining industry. Federal government agencies also hire grads from geoscience programs. One thing that excites a lot of people about the petroleum industry is that it's global and offshore oil rig jobs are available in the North Sea, Alaska, and Gulf of Mexico -- just to name a few locales.

'Upstream' in used to describe the processes involved in obtaining crude &lt;strong&gt;oil and gas&lt;/strong&gt; from natural resources. This is likely to involve the exploration of potential &lt;strong&gt;gas and oil&lt;/strong&gt; sites, using seismic and geophysical surveys alongside prospective drilling to determine whether or not a reserve has any promise. If a reserve is found, then the 'upstream' category also includes the development of &lt;strong&gt;oil &lt;/strong&gt;or &lt;strong&gt;gas&lt;/strong&gt; fields by doing things such as constructing well-heads and implementing production facilities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The 'downstream' category covers processing the crude oil into a marketable product. This may include the transportation of &lt;strong&gt;oil and gas&lt;/strong&gt;, using pipelines and pumping systems, as well as the procedure involved in resource liquefaction and &lt;strong&gt;gas&lt;/strong&gt; processing, using &lt;strong&gt;oil&lt;/strong&gt; refineries and petrochemical plants.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The&lt;strong&gt; oil and gas&lt;/strong&gt; industry are driven by a series of demands, most notably the increasing demand for these resources, the increasing demand or products derived from these resources, new discoveries of &lt;strong&gt;oil and gas&lt;/strong&gt; in complex natural structures, environmental concerns which have lead to specialist technological advances and new regulations which have driven the expansion and development of these industries.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The largest producers of &lt;strong&gt;oil&lt;/strong&gt; and natural &lt;strong&gt;gas &lt;/strong&gt;are Saudi Arabia, Russia, the United States, Iran, China, Mexico, Norway, Venezuela, the UK, Canada, Algeria, the Netherlands, Indonesia and Uzbekistan. However, there is an increase in production from offshore areas such as the Gulf of Mexico, the North Sea, Angola, Vietnam and Australia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are many &lt;strong&gt;oil and gas jobs&lt;/strong&gt; available and they can offer successful candidates a truly international career. &lt;strong&gt;Oil&lt;/strong&gt; rig &lt;strong&gt;jobs&lt;/strong&gt; can take a UK engineer to offshore areas across the globe, whilst drilling &lt;strong&gt;jobs&lt;/strong&gt; are available in new and emerging hotspots, such as Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan. These will all require 'upstream' teams to assess the area's prospects in the initial stages, as well as 'downstream' engineers, planners, sales and marketing staff, accounts advisors and construction engineers - to name but a few involved in these mammoth processes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those seeking &lt;strong&gt;oil and gas jobs&lt;/strong&gt; overseas would be ell-advised to utilize the services of an appropriate recruitment organization. These groups not only have advanced notice of &lt;strong&gt;jobs&lt;/strong&gt; 'in the pipeline', but they also have the contacts in the industry that ordinary people do not have access to and the capabilities to ensure that the right CV is seen by the right people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Working abroad in this industry is a chance to begin a new life and enjoy a global career with good work prospects. The demand for &lt;strong&gt;gas&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;oil&lt;/strong&gt; is relentless, opening up job opportunities within every sector of the processes involved in finding and harnessing these natural resources.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Duncan Freer - Director - &lt;strong&gt;Oil and Gas Jobs&lt;/strong&gt; Search is a job site dedicated to the specific needs of candidates who work in the &lt;strong&gt;Oil and Gas&lt;/strong&gt; industry or are looking to start there &lt;strong&gt;Oil&lt;/strong&gt; Careers.

During the 8th century, tar (which is derived from petroleum) was being used for paving roads. By the 9th and 10th century, the discovery and exploration of oil reserves became eminent. Drilling below the sea beds for crude paved the path for the entrance and the rise in importance of the oil and gas industry in the overall world economy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The discovery and use of oil &amp; gas by the 20th century led to an increase in the demand for commodities such as petroleum, now heavily traded among nations. In the UK, it is the Department of Trade and Industry that regulates the activities and development of the oil and gas industry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A number of entities together constitute the oil and gas industry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) Those involved in the exploration, overall development and production of natural gas or crude oil.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) Those taking care of the transportation, retailing, and end users.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) Other contracted drilling agencies and service companies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some of the major Oil Companies operating in the world market today include BP, Shell, Chevron, ExxonMobil (Esso), ConocoPhillips, and Total S.A.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Developed countries use the maximum amount of oil and there is a growing demand for oil and natural gas by most developing countries as well. Though it is difficult to give an exact estimate, it has been stated that the world consumes over 30 billion barrels of oil per year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some of the biggest producers of oil in the world include:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Russia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Saudi arabia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;USA&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Iran&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;China&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There has been a continuous rise in demand for oil and gas throughout the world leading to a rise in its prices. This was inevitable since petroleum is a non renewable resource and it is hard to match supplies with such a drastic increase in its demand year after year. Moreover, there are signs of negative effects on sea life as well as the overall environment through discharge of chemicals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What Lies Ahead? Industry experts predict that in the future, such increasing demands on the supply reserves of oil will eventually lead to a decline in the overall global oil production as well as sky rocketing oil prices.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is high time that the nation looks towards alternative sources of energy such as wave and tidal power, wind power, solar power and bio fuels to reduce such frightening pressures on oil and gas in the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Author David Pritchard is webmaster for Crest Environmental Services Ltd.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt; oil and gas jobs&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/70451179779756229-4363807702659254207?l=oil-and-gas-jobs.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://oil-and-gas-jobs.blogspot.com/feeds/4363807702659254207/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=70451179779756229&amp;postID=4363807702659254207' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/70451179779756229/posts/default/4363807702659254207'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/70451179779756229/posts/default/4363807702659254207'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://oil-and-gas-jobs.blogspot.com/2008/06/oil-and-gas-industry.html' title='Oil and Gas Industry(oil and gas jobs)'/><author><name>KhairilHazwan</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='01814200201018781950'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-70451179779756229.post-7935582263014429882</id><published>2008-06-28T20:53:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-08-13T18:34:44.031-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='UK oil and gas jobs'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Oil And Gas Landman'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='oil and gas  jobs'/><title type='text'>Becoming An Oil And Gas Landman (oil and gas jobs)</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;oil and gas jobs&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By John Peyton&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The oil and gas industry is going through a major transformation with prices rising daily it seems. With price decline being the trend for the last 20 years, no one has believed the oil and gas industry to be a high paying job where you can make a good living. So, the amount of individuals entering the oil and gas business has been in a steady decline along with the prices. Now, with the rise in prices, companies are scrambling to hire experienced people. The problem is there is no one to hire and demand for experienced oil and gas workers is skyrocketing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Becoming a landman has become a profession where you can earn income of over one hundred thousand dollars per year with no previous experience. I can't think of any other business where you can earn this type of money without having worked in the industry ever. But, now that the prices are rising daily, there is nobody to do the work and companies are having to pay the landmen whatever it takes. You can take advantage of this lack of skilled landmen and start earning $500+ per day along with all expenses paid. I don't know of any other business where you can earn this type of money from the start. And, this book will show you all you need to know to give yourself a head start to earning the income you deserve.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The hardest part about becoming an oil and gas landman is learning the processes involved in the job.

Finding work with the rising prices will be easy once you know the ins and outs of the business.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you have made up your mind to become an oil and gas landman, your first order after reading this book will be finding a job. There are so many avenues to finding work as a landman, that we could write an additional book on this subject. But, we will focus on the few that have been successful for other landmen first starting. Your first source of any job search, and becoming a landman is no different, is the internet.

Oil and gas stocks are considered prime stocks as they yield a higher return on investment opportunities. However, many factors must be considered before choosing the right oil and gas stock for investment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Investors are usually advised to find out if the oil and gas stock they are investing is valued or not. The reason for being cautious is that many oil and gas stocks are more hype than actual value. To find out the actual value of the oil and gas stock is to check the price earnings ratio. A price earnings ratio of more than 20 is an indicator of probable aggressive growth strategy that may include a recent land acquisition or a large drilling program scheduled to take place in future. However, such strategy may not prove to be accurate as often it is seen that the future event?s impact on the oil and gas stock is not what the investment community had foreseen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another factor to consider is whether the oil and gas stock has been converted to become trust units. Investors who are looking for an oil and gas stock that offers them steady cash flow can choose oil and gas stocks that are "trust units". However, for investors who prefer to hold an oil and gas stock in their portfolios for their high growth potential, trust units are not a recommended choice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oil and gas stocks must also be analyzed based on percentage of natural gas versus oil in the stock. Investors are not encouraged to buy oil and gas stocks from a natural gas-focused oil and gas company at a time when the price of natural gas is at an all time high. However, existing stockholders can decide to sell at such a time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is also advisable for oil and gas investors to keep an eye on insider trades of oil and gas public companies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Investments provides detailed information on Investments, Real Estate Investments, Bank Trust Investments, Stock Investments and more.

More people own personal vehicles, which require gasoline and motor oil to run efficiently; homes of all sizes need natural gas for heating purposes; businesses consume a large amount of gas to fuel their operations. Under these conditions, oil and gas companies have become quite profitable in the United Kingdom and plenty of jobs have opened up. Young professionals need to disregard the myth that most of these jobs are low-paid or dangerous and realise that there are plenty of oil and gas jobs to match their ambitions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of the best jobs in the UK oil and gas sector is that of ‘Safety Inspector’. Safety inspectors can be employed by a natural resource provider, the government, or an independent agency. In any event, safety inspectors check gauges, assess workplace safety, and provide recommendations or admonishment regarding the way a company is doing business, depending on its activities. One reason why safety inspectors are so important in the oil and gas market is that a slowdown in the production process or a lack of proper safety may lead to vital natural resources sitting in storage instead of going out to the consumer; another reason is the obvious risk of explosion and danger to life if safety standards are not applied.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the production arena, chemical engineers provide a vital service for oil and gas companies. Chemical engineers provide the knowledge of chemical reactions and processes that is critical to determining appropriate production guidelines. For example, a chemical engineer at an oil company may determine that the mixture used to create motor oil can be improved by inserting a chemical that prevents engine corrosion. Graduates and young professionals with an extensive knowledge of chemistry and a desire to work in an important industry should consider UK oil and gas jobs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A final area in the oil and gas job market that is lucrative for employees is that of project management. Even the smallest oil or gas producer comprises a major undertaking, with various facilities devoted to the creation, distribution, and monitoring of natural resources. As such, executives often divide these tasks into small on-going projects, while assigning temporary projects to appropriate divisions. Project managers are crucial to the bottom line of an oil or gas company, as every division and project area needs to be working efficiently to maximise profits. These management professionals will often work in determining transportation methods, improving storage, or overseeing critical production processes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stephen Trigg is the CEO of Quanta Consultancy Services, specialists in IT Jobs and Pharmaceutical Jobs, having provided Contract and Permanent Recruitment for many years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;oil and gas jobs&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/70451179779756229-5832541315570807235?l=oil-and-gas-jobs.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://oil-and-gas-jobs.blogspot.com/feeds/5832541315570807235/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=70451179779756229&amp;postID=5832541315570807235' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/70451179779756229/posts/default/5832541315570807235'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/70451179779756229/posts/default/5832541315570807235'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://oil-and-gas-jobs.blogspot.com/2008/06/oil-and-gas-jobs-in-uk-job-market.html' title='Oil And Gas Jobs In The UK Job Market (Oil and gas jobs)'/><author><name>KhairilHazwan</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='01814200201018781950'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
