If i where to get a job working offshore on a oil rig 28 on 28 off, and later they ask?

me to go to another country to work, would they fly me back to the USA for my 28 days off or would they tell me to just live within the border of the country next to the offshore oil rig, it may seam like a stupid question but some people do have familys, what do you think would take place, i would like to here from someone who is now working or has worked on a offshore platform, thanks so much for your time.If i where to get a job working offshore on a oil rig 28 on 28 off, and later they ask?
i work offshore right now. be sure you understand this before hand, as it varies from company to company. oil drilling contractors tend to have set schedules and pay for transportation from house to rig... service companies tend to be less generousIf i where to get a job working offshore on a oil rig 28 on 28 off, and later they ask?
I haven't worked offshore, but husband did when he was in his early twenties....as did all of his 3 roommates.





Typically, there is a point where the crew will meet onshore. The helicopter will fly you to the rig and you'll work your 28 day shift. When the shift is over, they will fly you back to the meeting point (or headquarters) and you'll go home on your own.





Hope that helps!
No, they will fly you home for your time off. I am in the oil field also, and a friend of mine works for Rowan. He is over in Saudi now doing 1 month on and 1 off. They fly him home for his time off, no cost to him.
