Just contract work not full time, hence should of applied for the full time....easier than 28/28 in PNG on the kids, they don't live with me anyway, haha, but I might still go back on the international circuitQuote:

Yeah thats awesome, well if you can get on there fulltime that would be great!
Been thinking of this myself (not offshore though) and was offered a spot on one of the tanami mines, just not sure i could do it yet.
Be no full-time stuff for a long time, this is Protection relay work, specialist field type stuff, so we come in, as for full time, the oil patch is very much on the down turn, thanks to the saudi's dumping the price.......notice bowser price is not reflected as strongly though:(Quote:

Pro's and Con's to it all, whats the roster on job offer? and coin?

Not strictly Saudis to blame - combination of soft worldwide demand for oil due to sluggish economy and fuel economy measures, plus massive increases in USA production capacity due to onshore shale oil, and Saudis not cutting back thier production to prop up the price.Quote:

So don't expect an upturn in the oil industry any time soon.
