Went on a rig today
Went on a rig today We got to go to the Genesis training rig in Sugar Land, it's fully operational land rig. They really wouldn't let us do much, they said to ask questions but every time we did the driller would bust out a 20 minute long story about how some one lost fingers throwing chains. I plan to work off shore when I graduate this May, going to mud school in the summer. I got some insight in to what it's like, seems like a no bull **** environment, they don't mess around at all. But life on a rig seems like it sucks ***.
I was on rigs for a year or so, wasn't really all that bad, but I wasn't a righand. No roughneckin or changslangin for me. If your going to school for Mud-Engineer, you might not be too bad off.
I always liked the basket ride from the boats up to the main deck
I always thought going offshore was fun because you got to either ride in a boat or a helicopter to get there, and the food out on the rigs was fantastic. But you are right in that the land jobs are not near as much fun.

I've been on offshore rigs for 7 years now, and I love it. Mud engineer would be the job to have. There isn't much to their jobs except a lot of computer work. I wish that I worked on some of the rigs you guys have been on because the food on ours sucks.

Verdad Gallardo I have talked to several people that have done it, seems a lot of the job is learning from experience of being out there.
Political Science with a minor in International Business. I need a degree before I can go to mud school. Looking to use the field experience I gain out there to learn the industry so I can go back for a corporate job later down the line. Field experience seems like a good way to open up opportunity if you I stay at it for a while, my goal is to work in QHSE in safety facet.

I have a friend that is working on an off shore rig. He is a two week on one week off deal. I will ask him when I see him and PM you the info. I work for a frac company and man it is long hours but easiest six figures I will ever earn. Just aas long as nobody screws up and kills me.
we're still in the yard down here in corpus, but we're supposed to start the offshore campaign early august. this will be my first time out, and i'm looking forward to it. i do a 21 and 7 rotation right now, but we go to 14 and 14 offshore.
