Offshore Drilling Companies – 50 Offshore Drilling Companies To Get You Started
Are you looking for a list of offshore drilling companies because you are looking for a job in an offshore oil rig? Have you tried the big boys like Shell and BP, etc? No results, or don’t want to try them for some reason?
Besides the obvious list of big boys like Shell and BP, you can also look for offshore drilling companies which do wildcatting or provide sub-contracting offshore oil drilling services to the major players. There are potentially hundreds of smaller companies which do this. Rather than cover the whole spectrum of finding oil, drilling for it and then refining and distributing the oil, these relatively small companies (for the oil and gas industry) concentrate on providing offshore drilling services. Some of them were formed during the last slump in oil prices by far-sighted investors with deep pockets, buying up equipment for pennies on the dollar. Many more were popped up just before the current boom in oil prices, or just recently to cater for the spike in demand for oil drilling services.

Offshore Oil Jobs – Do You Have Enough Guts For a Job on an Offshore Oil Platform?
The recent BP/TransOcean/Halliburton Deepwater Horizon explosion has caused quite a fracas. Because of the resulting White House moratorium on deep water drilling, its impact on offshore oil jobs has received a lot of press. In reality, its negative effect is not likely to last very long.
Why not? Because summer is here, and Americans need oil to make the electricity that powers their air-conditioners. In other words, the current loss of offshore oil rig jobs is just a temporary blip. Drilling in the Gulf will continue (almost) as usual once the 6-month ban imposed by the White House ends. The Deepwater Horizon will be replaced, one way or another. Hiring for oil gas jobs will resume as usual.
