Offshore Oil and Gas
SCROLL DOWN
Interested in the Offshore Oil and Gas sector?
Within the global offshore oil and gas industry, there are significant opportunities for seafarers, who can work aboard a range of diverse vessels in support of the industry.
Offshore Support Vessels (OSVs) are typically very sophisticated and include:
- Survey Vessels
- Construction Vessels
- Platform Support Vessels (PSVs)
- Emergency Rescue Recovery Vessels (ERRVs)
- Diving Support Vessels (DSVs)
- Anchor Handling Tug Supply Vessels (AHTSs)
The offshore oil and gas sector is a challenging environment to work in as a mariner but a combination of marine/academic qualifications with the correct skill set enables seafarers to make a transition on to a Fixed Production (FP) offshore installation, a Floating Production, Storage, and Offloading (FPSO) vessel, or a Mobile Offshore Production Unit (MOPU).
There are also a variety of mobile units working in support of the industry, including:
- Drill Ships
- Accommodation Barges
- Exploration Jack-up Rigs
- Semi-submersible Rigs
