My cousin used to be a diesel mechanic on an off-shore drilling rig. He loved it, before he was married, because you work 5 weeks on and 5 weeks off. During his 5 weeks off, he could spend in a cheap living country like Costa Rica.
They called Fly in and fly out
How much do they earn?
@@djquinn11 $100000-200000/year. manager and senior manmager $200000-300000/year. But loneliness and depression lead to suicide . later they cant have a normal life saving every dollar . they family got used to big spending: 5 star hotel, business class airline , high end luxury goods: Channel, gucci . mercedes vv. so all the money gone
@@djquinn11 He never told me.
I want to work on an oil rig
Decided to check youtube on life on oilfield after leaving that environment 15 years ago. Gained great experience as an electrician now running my own jont for 10 years now.
how did you get the job? im interested in working on one but having a hard time figuring out the requirements
I worked as a roughneck on a land rig for 4 months. Had no prior experience and was started at $36/h with an additional $180/day living allowance as there was no camp or travel accommodation provided. I was making around $10000/ month, so idk what they’re talking about here
Is there any chance I can get ur email address or Facebook name please I wanna ask you some questions please if you don’t mind
Where about?

That’s good. The pay she was outlining in the video seemed pathetic.
I was part of an on call dive crew assigned to two rigs off Trinidad in the Caribbean. Best job ever. Especially for a young , single guy. I loved being on the rig but also had substantial time on the beach. Best time of my life.
Are you American?
It's shameful to know how little these workers were paid. Definitely not worth it.
Her math is off by several magnitudes. She assumes a 40 hour work week, when you actually work an 84 hour week with time and a half for all hours over 40 hour in the week.
The pay rates stated in the video are far from reality. A roustabout should be in the 100k range.
I was gonna say... 15 bucks an hour for ANY job on a fucking oil rig???!!! This lady is a moron. @@CGDeadly
@@Lcash218 I don't think she included overtime pay, some companies offer double over time pay and/or extra when working through a federal holiday. When you're on an oil rig you don't really leave during the evenings or weekends. She didn't really delve into the fact that you live there for months at a time. This is why one should never trust girl math.
@@TimE-sn1pu I think you are missing the point. Her math has no link to the reality of life on an oil rig. Where can you take someone fresh out of high School and provide a 6 figure income only working 6 months out of the year? Wages go up dramatically from there!
My wife’s (God rest her soul) ex husband worked off shore . One accident almost killed him, after multiple surgeries he’s been addicted to pain meds for close to four decades.
way off on the pay. when i started drilling in land in 2008.. 32.50 hr 105k a year .. land rig manger 120k.. then now it's 150k when i was drilling deep water . 2013-2015 avg 190k a year .. now as a drilling consultant, 1800 a day .. 315k a year ..
driller, how dangerous is the work?
Yeah, I was thinking that’s peanuts. You could make that as a career at McDonald’s
I agree. Way off on pay on all levels. Example: She said $15.52/hr for a roustabout which is ridiculously low. (Work at Burger King making $15/hr easily.)
Did you have a College Degree at all, or did you just Start Out as a Labor or a Drilling Rig Hand?
How do I get in dude!
PLEASE ADVISE ME.
I was told to spread my savings across different things like Trade to protect and support my retirement. with everything being shaky,I'm considering going into Trade. i don't wanna make the wrong choice.
@Zubaida.Ali.Ali5327Ellen DeGeneres hosted Kate floretta on TV 2 yrs ago that was where I saw kate and followed up.i have also been attending her Trade seminars.
you must have these things in mind
1. Have a long term mindset.
2. Be willing to take *risk*.
3. Be careful, if you're not spending to earn back, then stop spending.
4. Never claim to know - Ask questions and it's best you work with an assistant.
Yo I didn't know Kate was this popular,my cousin trade with her for some months now, I tried but couldn't understand anything it's not my thing tho so I passed Lol. I can testify that trade pays very well because my cousin at 23 bought a house already.
When it comes to Trade, I can confidently say that bitcoin is the best option. But most people think it's all about buying and leaving it to rise but It takes a lot more you need to trade it to earn daily.
I think I might have came across the name on an interview last year where she spoke about finance.
I've been in the oil and gas industry for almost 20 years, the money isn't worth the time you loose with your love ones and worst of all you get stuck in that life its hard to walk away because it's unlikely you can afford to.
how dangerous is the work?
Exactly where i have been stuck for 20 years. Not enough money to retire and no shore based job back in my country of origin can pay me even a third of what I earn offshore. My kids grew up with only glimpses of Dad they know the sacrifice was for a better life for them to have a better life but in all earnest truth I would have preferred to have been home and see them grow up talk and console them in heartbreak etc. I would give it up in a heartbeat if I could.
❤
They earn every dollar for the work they do. And we on shore could not live without them 👏👏
Yes, we can.
@aregua188 have ago for a year living without ANYTHING that has been made as a result of oil or ANYTHING that has been transported without using oil. 🤔 my money says you won't have ago at this mind 🤣🤣
Yes, WE CAN live without off-shore oil rigs. We would survive and be happy.
?… yes we can… we don’t need oil
You wouldn't have any food/medicine in your belly, clothes on your body or physical possessions in your home, or electric devices in your life without patroleoum.
The fact that any position on those rigs is making 15.52 an hour is an INSULT AND FIGHT WORTHY words. No way!!!!
the pay also includes their off time so they got paid 24 hours for pretty much being there
This video is a load crap. It’s just a video based on clips on the web. The salaries are WAY MORE THAT.
me watching this video after work on the 1st week of my oil rig shift and i am so excited! thanks for video
as someone that is currently training as derrickman the training is fun but it requires alot of time, energy and patience but the end goal is worth it. because it is dangerous it is not for everyone
very dangerous from what I understand.
You still doing that?
Those are not well-paid amounts as you describe. I don't believe them and think rates are much higher especially on off shore rigs especially when you add in overtime.
I worked all over the world on rigs and drillships and ended up at the age of 66 and originally from North of Scotland i now live in Brazil up in the hills and believe me it took a long time to get used to the temperature change
zh3, these salaries seem low. how dangerous is the work? what causes accidents?
Would you recommend it?
Sir. What is your opinion on hazards to health presents in rig. Why they are giving rotational leave. ?
The pay rates are kinda wrong. They are listing pay for workover rigs not exploration rigs. I made 28 hr plus a 55 day tax free per diem. I was taking home roughly 3200 a week after taxes and benefits. So yearly just for my 2 on 2 off rotation was 84000 a year take home roughly. If i worked more i made more.
How did you get recruited?
Which company did you go through? I’m looking to do the same
I need info’s I’m young and willing to learn in this career path. ! Thank you.
I got hired on as a Painters helper to go offshore during college in the summer break , I thought I was gonna make Bank , since my Dad got me the job I never asked what my wage was I got my paycheck it was for 5 bucks an hour and plus Overtime time and a 1/2 but it was very hard work I called them to complain and they told me that was starting pay , they did not call me back for the next turn .
You were a unskilled worker or a TA your money would of been crap
Watching this from an FPSO in the Atlantic Ocean right now.
I'm amazed that you think circa $30k is a 'high' salary for roustabouts/roughnecks.. sounds pitiful to me considering the tough nature of the work and environment. I thought you'd be quoting $50k to $60k. They still have to pay tax on their salaries.
Lmfao this person doesn't know anything. You're looking at 90-180k depending what you do on a rig. 30k is a joke. Maybe that's what they pay in Texas all the illegals but it ain't what I get paid lmfao
Even as one of the highest paid skilled workers on the rig that money explained in the video isn’t good enough to send most people out there to work. Our 1st year apprentice pipe fitters in the Midwest make more than most of the offshore people.
Those pay rates are for land rigs. Offshore pays much better. I guess they couldn’t find the numbers for offshore. Or they used an average across land and offshore which doesn’t actually show the real pic. I was a driller 12 years ago on a land rig making 110k PY.
I know right this is US oil rig that’s insane
There are a couple of things that were left out.
An Offshore Worker typically is "on duty" 12hr s /day, 7 days / week.
Which means, he earns "time and a half" AFTER 40. So, the Worker gets 44hrs of Overtime for every week he spends Offshore. This doesn't include all the "Additional" overtime each week. When I worked Offshore, I "averaged" 100hrs per week
Total bullshit. Plus Remeberebce we only work six months of the year.
The pay rate in this video is inaccurate.
We work 2 weeks and 4 weeks free in Norway... This rig i see here is second generation rig compared with Norway. I work with automation control systems since 1987 😎
I was surprised by how little they made. I honestly thought it would about double what was mentioned.
It is more than double. This video is far from reality when it comes to pay rates.
I would love a off shore job doing this
Worked off shore for a number of years. Yes the money was good but the risk goes up to a point where you ask yourself "Is It Worth It?". Worked for a year in Brazil on a commissioning and start up of a new platform. During that year they KILLED 156 people in that oil field. 4 helicopter accidents took 37 of them. Two died on the platform I was on during the final construction because of accidents. 50 died when one of the 15 new platforms they were starting up had a blow out and gas release that caused a fire on board. Those 50 people died in the life boat after it had launched because the diesel engines they used in them would not start all the time and they had no formal life boat training. The life boat was blown back under the platform by the wind after launch and the passengers did not strap into the seats like they were supposed to. The doors were open because of the heat from the fire and people were standing up to get some air. An explosion above rolled the life boat over and it partially sank upside down taking everyone with it. That design of life boat had a water curtain spray system to cool it if caught in a fire but the engine would not start to turn the water pump that supplied the spray system. That life boat would also self right but everyone inside had to be strapped into the seats so the center of gravity would turn the boat up right again if flipped. The rest of the people were killed during different accidents over the year and Brazil's Petro Braz had little or no real safety programs that we could see. We even had a southern extreme storm hit us and the construction barge up wind of us started to drag its anchors. A real drama at sea was witnessed by us as the tug boat crew tried for three hours to get a tow line on that barge so it would not collide with our platform in the storm. After the tow line was made they dragged that barge away 2 miles down wind of us and re-anchored it there. It was less than 600 feet from colliding with our platform when the tow was established. It was to bad for the 150 workers on our platform to be evacuated by helicopter that day. After that I never went back for my next shift.
I retired 6 years ago after 45 years in the oil & gas industry. Other than a few slow years in the 80s, I always made good money. In fact, very good money for someone with a HS diploma. The catch is it's hard, dirty, dangerous work. It pays well because you're doing a job not many people are willing to do. It's not for the weak hearted or weak minded or lazy. On the other hand, there's definitely a sense of pride and satisfaction that goes with the job.
Your definition and my definition of well paid must be different. I make 120K a year working on cars and I don't have a risky job and I see my family every night. Best part is no degree required
Her salary and hourly rates were less then half of what they actually make. The lowest hourly pay on a rig is in the low 20’s but you work more overtime then regular pay. Per diem is anywhere from $100-$250 a day tax free. Thats 18k a year minimum tax free. Oil base pay adds $2-$5 per hour while drilling the part of the well with oil and not water, and bonuses are in the thousands. So starting minimum is probably $80k and you only work half the year
@@Porter92 That makes more sense
@@Porter92 I agree. Her pay rates are ridiculously low. Even if this is an old video the rates still seem absurd.
For the risky moments of this job, they don't get paid enough. The world depends mostly on oil for its center energy. These workers deserve our big applause and prayers
@@jacksak You made your comment 1 month after it was posted, man!!! How old are you to call that old? 3? lol
I`m always surprised by the outdated equipment shown on the drillfloor on this type of videos
I’ve been this this game 25 years as chief mechanic. A lot of shit being f talked esp from people saying they work in the game. One point you are massively missing is we only work 6 months of the year. Her money is miles off. I spend far more quality time with my family than I would on a 9-5. My 4 weeks off after the first day of sleep. It’s all me and the family. I’m not coming home e at 6/7 seeing the kid for half an hour and going t to bed. I have all day to do what we want as a family.
I believe the pay is way way higher than indicated. It is hard work but you make a lot of cash, solid job if you are not married, can make tons and have a lot of fun.
it is, not sure how they are calculating it by a Tool Pusher makes over 100k per year, only working 1/2 the year.
@@DT-lt2ec They all make over $100k easily but you cant get out of high roller lifestyle, so all the money will be spend once you leave the job.
I really like this channel and content! Good stuff! 👍😎
Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m really glad you’re enjoying the content 🤝
Nice informative comments here seemed way more worthwhile than the actual video as many say the payment isn’t accurate.
Hello oil has been crucial for the world since the 1800's , interesting video, thank you , sound like you have a sore throat , hope it gets better 👍
To be honest, I'd thought even an entry level job would pay more. I wouldn't have thought anybody working on an off shore rig would be making anything less that $50K.
I don't know why they say that, the worker on an off shof rig earns 75,000 or 100,000 from the start without experience
Even 50k is an insult when you are working on the high seas!
Lady your info is incorrect.......

I worked on offshore rigs for a General Contractor as a General Foreman had a crew of up to 30 guys have no idea where they are coming up with these wages because all my guys were making at least 48.00 an hour time and a half after 8 hrs and double time after 10 hrs worked 12 hrs everyday Sat were time and a half the first 10 hrs then Double time Sun was a double time day all day so these guys were all making 6 figure money. I wouldn't even think about working on a rig for what they are quoting on here. Our situations were a little different because we were bought in by the rig owner but were paid thru the Contractor but I don't know a rig worker anywhere that would work that cheap as there quoting here

Offshore drilling the best one for job ❤👌.
I have 15 years of experience. I want to work because I searched in all companies to no avail. Can you help me with a job, please?
Those wages are bullshit. I’m a mechanic and run my own shop, $50 an hour. Fuck being on a rig away from your family for garbage pay.
The math ain't mathing. I used to work offshore. You're paid by the hour or the day. Using her Roustabout example, at $15 per hour, your annual earnings are closer to $46,000 per year. 7 days x 12 hours per day = 84 hours a week. the first 40 hours a straight time. The next 20 are at time & a half. The last 24 hours are double time. Hours paid = 40+(20x1.5)+(24x2) = 118 hours. 118 x $15 = $1770 per week at 26 weeks worked = $46,020.
You should mention "mud loggers" - collecting and analysis of drill cuttings for hydrocarbons (oil) which usually requires a degree in geology.
I worked as muddlogger back in the 80's. Oklahoma, Texas. 24 hours on/off. Enjoy those "tripping out/tripping in".
When one person is sick with a cold is there a doctor that can give them meds without paying for them.
The wages are totally different...in offshore operations are almost double of what she lectures us.
The money she is talking about is WAAAAAY OFF... the oil companies/rig companies would go out of business in less than a week, if they paid these wages. NO ONE would do that work for those wages. No One.. They would get out there for their first hitch and never come back.
Mulitply those numbers by 3X to 4X
A roughneck on an offshore platform will make about $120-150k
An engineer on an offshore platform about $300k
Driller about $180k
Cooks about $80k
Roustabout about $80-100k
Company Man about $350-400k

I literally can't believe how little these people get paid!
The salaries you stated are 35 percent less than what the current pays is now
I think with the turn around of work and time off , I think they get paid shit money considering the money made in this industry
It all depends on what kind of work you do and for how long. In the Netherlands your starting salary ad roughneck is around €4000-€5000 a month. 2 weeks stay and 2 weeks off. (Off days also paid)
Also... This video is a copy...
The pay rate per hour must be way off. I made three times this amount per hour of the highest paid worker and I didn’t need to be away from my family for so long. These guys need a better pay rate for their jobs.
Offshore oil and gas worker in UK waters earns a relatively good wage because the client requires a reliable and safe operation. There is no real saving on wages in these conditions. The work itself is usually really easy, compare to working on a construction site onshore or fishing. If you have an oil job offshore in UK, count yourself lucky more than anything, really. The time of hard work for American bosses on kelly rigs is long gone!
Where to look for uk oil rig jobs?
@@LonerFor999 It depends on where you are located on Earth, your nationality and also what kind of "rig job" you are looking for, some oil provinces are fully mature, and the rig count in the area is going down, joining a crew might be very difficult as the overall workload is thinning (GOM, UKCS). In some places on Earth oil and gas exploration is still taking place and new fields are being developed and you might have more chances to get hired. Overall, most people join the "rig crew" (Roughneck, Derrickman, Driller, Mechanic for the like of Transocean, Nabor, etc...) from word of mouth or having a friend or a relative already part of the crew, pretty much anybody can perform at this type of work and one always prefer to hire someone he knows. Drilling contractors favor hiring personnel coming from "harder" job, such as quarry workers, fishermen, military background (infantry), geotechnical drilling, construction workers etc... For job with service companies (Halliburton, Schlumberger, Baker Hughes etc...), the situation might be a bit different, These companies usually perform more technical tasks and nowadays, they will pretty much always require some sort of degree or academic education, applications are done online through the corporate websites, participating at job fair, been patient and having a job that match while waiting for the next round of recruits is a good idea. If you want to be a "company man" or be part of the tiny "operator representative".... well... brace yourself for a massive competition, you will most certainly require a very good degree from a prestigious school and experience with a service company. From experience, I would say that 50% of the field personnel in the Oil and Gas sector got their job from a relative or somehow had somebody who gave them a leg up to get their first "break". Also, last but not least, oil jobs are relatively good jobs and the local government always insists on favoring the local content when operators are bidding for licenses or through regulatory regimes and local laws, It might well be completely impossible for someone with an exotic nationality to get his or her first break in oil and gas in these conditions. (well... you will always be able to be a cabin boy on a jack up in the Persian gulf I guess... but I don't think this would be a great opportunity for anyone unless he or she is very young and is an undocumented migrant, fleeing a war zone and prepared to spend 6 months at sea for 300 USD/m)

Maybe I should buy my own oil rig to collect my trillions dollars
This channel is so interesting.
People working in mine and oil rig spend months in desert and the sea away from civilisation which lead to depression , isolation and loneliness. I heard many stu\y of suicide . They should train prisoners spend decade in jail to do these job not ordinary people
I was stunned at how low the pay was. By comparison, $15 an hour is Florida's minimum wage that fast food workers get right out of high school.
My response to an offer for one of those jobs would be that I would feel insulted, and I would let them know it.
I couldn't agree more. These companies make billions of dollars in profit. My God -- the GREED!!! After hearing this, I stopped watching the video.
They pay what the workers accept.
The pay is shit in this day in age
Anything that is real work= gets discriminated against
17 yr old cousin makes 20$ at a 5below store-- I got paid 16$ doing construction outside
I'm very surprised the pay is NOT what I thought. For the difficulty and danger of these people I would have figured at least 3 times the pay rate mentioned. Unless I've missed something, it's not worth it. How much do the Oil Companies make??? I think we know.
Wow these folks are under paid .living out in middle of sea and away from there familes .and making companies millions drilling oil to get paid like that what a slap in face .hopefully this is wrong
I have 2 friends that are High Qualify pipe welders and they earn at least twice that any guy in an oil rig.
One of them with some Overtime can make more than 200.000/€ year.
Theres NO WAY this video is accurate. It would mean that my daughter makes more money (working her first job at Whole Foods) than most of the workers described here. It actually makes me wonder how much Nauctis is making to call this video "A LOT OF MONEY"....
$15/hr as a roustabout? The interns at my job make more than that. $18/hr as a roughneck? Walmart stockers make that. Come on man...
A brickies labourer in Australia gets 40 bux an hour who wants to work on a oil rig for shit pay in a constant high risk
No way on earth I would go out there for pennies! These people are crazy to go out for a little of nothing! If they went on strike, the energy sector would be so much more willing to pay some of the trillions of money they make. That is truly insane!
The constantly animating watermark in the corner is really annoying and distracting. Please don't do that. Either keep it steady or lose it altogether.

I liked, do you know a link to apply for this kind of job???
20 days job, 10 Days rest or something similar???
Welders don't like working on rigs cause of dangerous positions. I know a guy on one of those rigs he says cell phone usage sucks
On land in Alberta, Roughnecks make $750/day.
Those salaries aren't even close. They are about triple.
They ain’t paid that little. You’re leaving out overtime. 84 hrs a week. Thats 44 overtime hours at 1.5X . Also that’s little less than land drilling which is what I used to do and I know people that did offshore and they made way more than I did.
Those rates of pay would not attract me, considering there in $ not £, I think there quite poor for the risks involved in this industry.
Lidl is actually paying more for the first three positions.
Lololol your pay was wayyyyyyy off! Not one person on a drilling rig makes $15 an hour! Lolololol who gave you these hourly pay rates?? Roughneck is $20-$23 an hour plus overtime, plus oil base pay, per diem. Do your homework next time
Those salaries are ridiculously low, MN u can start at Mcd, Culvers & Arby's at $17. This is 25 miles from Downtown Mpls. No way their getting best ppl at those low paying starting wage.
