Working on an offshore oil drilling rig is exciting and a challenge. It takes hard work, attention to detail and teamwork. At BeyondPetro, our roughnecks bring out oil and gas from miles below ground. Let’s explore what it’s like to work on a workover rig.
Offshore drilling rig work is hard, long hours of hard work. Rig workers run and maintain machines that bring oil and gas up from the ocean floor. Rain or shine, hot or cold, they work the land. Despite these downsides, rig workers take pride in what they do because they’re helping to provide energy for society at large.
At BeyondPetro, the most crucial aspect of offshore work is safety for rig workers. Workers receive training on safety rules before they start in any of the new jobs. To keep safe, they don helmets, safety glasses and steel-toed boots. Safety drills are also something rig workers need be prepared for emergencies. Adhering to these safety rules are what keep rig workers safe while working.
A day in the life of a rig worker with BeyondPetro begins early. Workers attend a safety talk before starting their shifts. They might work machines and fix equipment during the day or assist with drilling. Rig crews depend heavily on the cooperation of their teammates to ensure that everything functions. “And at the end of the day, they come home proud of what they did, they know that they knocked it out of the park.
Other than that, the workover rig is all about team work. All the workers on a rig have to keep talking to and working with each other to ensure that everyone knows what to do. They support one another in solving problems and achieving goals. The job is safer and more efficient when you work as a team. We firmly believe in the value of teamwork at BeyondPetro.
So working in the oil and gas field has its own sweet and sour. Rig workers are doing strenuous physical labor, working long hours and enduring difficult conditions. But they also get to use new technology, travel to places and earn good pay. Drill-crew members take pride in overcoming obstacles and in knowing that they help produce the energy that powers the world. Many rig workers think the payoffs are worth the hardship.
