Mud, i would suspect that a man with a liscense could find work in the oil patch pretty easy right now., assuming that he has a fairly clean background, a strong back, and is willing to travel. I have posted a link rigzone, which is a good place to start. My company (transocean) and several others are building some rather large drillships in S Korea right now, some other companies are building semi-subs in Singapore also. Look for Transocean Pride International Stena Noble Ensco Sea Drill Maersk and so on. Hope it helps _________________ EVT Stage 1 32PD on a 17x48PD "I'm not a Republican because I grew up rich.

Re: is it hard to land an oil rig job these days ? If you are willing to work over the oceans you can find work in the patch almost any time. The shelf and land drilling pretty much shut down. I know at the start of last month the rig report showed over 50% less rigs than last year on land and the shelf. If you are looking for a local ( I mean something that you don't have to move for) job, ther are few openings. If you don't mind staying in New Orleans Mon-Fri Louisiana Natural Gas Services out of Lafayette are hireing. They have a big contract in NO and just signed one in Covington. They lay gas lines.
