<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I am in my final engineering course and I want to work offshore because of the work shifts(i think 2 weeks offshore 2 weeks off or so) and good salaries. I have been conducting extensive research on the subject but haven't found much. I was hoping that someone with experience on that or with good knowledge can advise me on what companies (oil, oilfield service, drilling contractors..) I should apply, what careeer path within these companies (i've seen well engineering for instance can involve some offshore work but not reservoir engineering) and if it is possible for a fresh graduate to go straight from college to an oil platform in the middle of nowhere( i've also seen that most big oil companise like BP or Shell tend to have very long graduate programs(2-5 years) before you can actually specialise).</p>
<p>many thanks in advance!</p>
