I worked for phelps drilling in Alberta, Canada and started as a roughneck (floorhand). Work schedual is 14 days staight 12 hours a day with time and a half after 8 hours followed by 7 days off. Pay was 24 per hour for 8 hours, then 36 an hour for the last 4 totalling 288 per day and living allowances ( u live in temporary structures) ran about 50 per day. A person starting out can expect to make around 4600 per 2 week hitch. Hope that answers your question
From what I have seen you need to be in top physical condition and stay that way. Working on oil rigs is a LOT of very hard work. You really earn your pay. No smokers allowed AFAIK.
i want ot work in the field of oil gas mining labour in colorado utahevery where these are available to make good job and money can iget this job would you like to help me thanks
not until you can use punctuation would you like me to help you with that its very easy
I'm on an oil rig right now. Most people on an oil rig do make 2000 a week or more, but thats 12 hour days and 7 days a week. Housing is free where i'm at, but you have to buy your own food. Everything is tax deductible since we live at work. The work hands might make slightly less but those of us with pofessional skills make more. Company men, who are in charge of the locations, can make 700 a day. I am a lower level geologist and i make 350 a day. The hands are the only ones who arent on a day rate so i dont get overtime. Most of us work 2 weeks on and 2 weeks off. If your interested you should look into becoming a mud engineer or a MWD hand. Those are good paying, high level jobs that only require a few months of training school and no previous expereince required.
