Working on an offshore drilling rig is something most people will never get to experience in their lifetime. It is like no other workplace in the world and only those who have worked offshore can appreciate the diversity of people, cultures and roles that are represented in their remote "office." Offshore Oil and Gas PEOPLE is an overview of what it's like to work on an oil rig, and the role everyone plays in getting the job done safely and on time. The saying "Time is Money" is the mantra that everyone works to offshore with wells costing up to one hundred million dollars to drill. With such big money at stake it's easy to see why it is such a high-pressured environment to work in. This handy guide can serve as a pre-deployment induction manual for all new starters in the industry so they know what to expect when they get to a rig for the first time. There are lots of rules and regulations when working offshore and knowing what to expect before you disembark from the chopper that very first time will help make your introduction to the industry that much easier. For people wanting to get into the industry, this book explains the many roles that can be explored; from an entry-level no-experience-needed role to those that are highly specialized and found nowhere else in the world. This hi-tech and fast-paced industry has something to offer anyone looking for a challenging career beyond the 9 to 5 grind of city life. This book is also an informative guide for family or friends of offshore workers who up until now have had no idea what their loved ones actually do when they are at work...and also for those who already work offshore and have no idea what the rest of the people on the rig actually do!

Lists of Offshore Drilling Recruitment Companies and Agencies.The offshore drilling companies account for a significant portion of the energy generated in the form of oil and gas across the world. An offshore drilling company obtains crude oil and gasoline from the seabed and supplies to the global market. The offshore drilling companies are expected to maintain a steady growth for the period of forecast owing to the steep demand for crude oil and gas all around the world. Presently, almost 100 countries produce crude oil and gas, however, almost half of the global crude oil production comes from the top five oil-producing countries. Offshore drilling of oil had witnessed a decline in the past two decades, but recent market trends suggest there is going to be a growth for the list of offshore drilling companies due to surging prices of crude oil and high demand for fossil fuel across the globe for the coming five years. The global market for offshore drilling of oil is estimated to surpass a value of $125 billion by the end of 2023 growing at a CAGR of more than 4.5% for the coming five years. Russia and Saudi are the two largest oil-producing countries in the world with a 13% market share for global crude oil production. The United States is the third largest oil producer with a 12% market share, followed by Iraq and Iran with a share of 6% and 5% respectively. An offshore drilling company is capable of extracting petroleum from as deep as 1,500 meters from the seabed. The top 10 offshore drilling companies registered a growth in their annual revenue in the previous financial year and they have thousands of employees with an operational presence in several countries. Here follows a comprehensive list of offshore drilling companies to give a holistic picture of the best offshore drilling companies across the world.

In some coastal regions of the United States, such as western Louisiana, offshore oil development has long been welcomed. In others, such as northern California, it has been vehemently opposed. This book explores the reasons behind this paradox, looking at the people, the regions, and the issues in sociological and historical contexts. What has been in very short supply on this issue, as in a growing number of other cases of technological gridlock, is balanced analysis. That is what this book provides. The authors' case studies, derived from interviews with Louisiana and California residents and from environmental impact statements, demonstrate that easy answers are not the most valid ones. The region that should be considered unusual, they find, is coastal Louisiana, where historical, social, and environmental factors combine to favor the offshore oil industry. But this combination of factors, they argue, is unlikely to be found in other coastal regions of the U.S. in the near future.

The blowout of the Macondo well on April 20, 2010, led to enormous consequences for the individuals involved in the drilling operations, and for their families. Eleven workers on the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig lost their lives and 16 others were seriously injured. There were also enormous consequences for the companies involved in the drilling operations, to the Gulf of Mexico environment, and to the economy of the region and beyond. The flow continued for nearly 3 months before the well could be completely killed, during which time, nearly 5 million barrels of oil spilled into the gulf. Macondo Well-Deepwater Horizon Blowout examines the causes of the blowout and provides a series of recommendations, for both the oil and gas industry and government regulators, intended to reduce the likelihood and impact of any future losses of well control during offshore drilling. According to this report, companies involved in offshore drilling should take a "system safety" approach to anticipating and managing possible dangers at every level of operation-from ensuring the integrity of wells to designing blowout preventers that function under all foreseeable conditions-in order to reduce the risk of another accident as catastrophic as the Deepwater Horizon explosion and oil spill. In addition, an enhanced regulatory approach should combine strong industry safety goals with mandatory oversight at critical points during drilling operations. Macondo Well-Deepwater Horizon Blowout discusses ultimate responsibility and accountability for well integrity and safety of offshore equipment, formal system safety education and training of personnel engaged in offshore drilling, and guidelines that should be established so that well designs incorporate protection against the various credible risks associated with the drilling and abandonment process. This book will be of interest to professionals in the oil and gas industry, government decision makers, environmental advocacy groups, and others who seek an understanding of the processes involved in order to ensure safety in undertakings of this nature.

Fifty years ago, in November 1947, Brown & Root helped Kerr-McGee build the first out-of-sight-of-land offshore platform that produced oil. This history puts a human face on the process of technological change. Using the words of many of those who took part in Brown & Root's offshore activities, this book recounts their efforts to find practical ways to recover offshore oil.

The purpose of this project is to study, document and explain the history and evolution of the offshore oil and gas industry in southern Louisiana in an objective and comprehensive way. The geographic extent and complexity of the industry, the tremendous number of petroleum and associated service companies, and the vast array of impacts has required the identification and recruitment of hundreds of individuals with direct experience with the industry and its effects. University researchers have spent thousands of hours with people responsible for the offshore oil and gas industry in southern Louisiana. They recorded interviews, collected written documents, and obtained digital copies of photographs and video from the early days.
