Production platforms will have operators on location. Sometimes an operator will cover several platforms - responsibilities and duties vary greatly on whether or not you're company or contract and also vary based on company.
I think D&C sometimes provided contract operators (Danos and curole).

You don't necessarily have to start chasing slings outside. Check with personnel companies like Petroleum coordinators, D.C. International...I think clover is another one. You can work in an office offshore doing logistics/clerking. Pay is better than a roustabout. You won't ever be a driller, it just depends on where you want a career to go.

What is the official job title of this?
Also what do you think average pay for this position is?

I was talking to my in-law yesterday. He works offshore and we were talking about various positions. He said their instrument techs starting out make 108k. 14-14. Seriously thinking of giving up my corporate job for one of these offshore gigs. The money is just too ridiculous to pass up.

That's why you hire people to do those things for you so you don't stress over that BS!

4 year operator at a chemical plant

Anyone here a Mud Engineer? Whats your day to day like? Pay? Insight?

If you aren't scared to work on your own car, go into industrial instrumentation and get a two year degree.
ITI in Baton Rouge provides the best instrumentation program in the country. Trust me I have interviewed enough folks to know that's true.
If you know instrumentation and controls you aren't tied down to a specific industry like an operator. Your skills translate over to anywhere and everywhere.
There is a shortage of talented people currently. It's only going to get worse too...

Being an instrument tech is more than knowing someone. It takes training. You have to learn the physics behind how everything behaves and relates to one another. Thing of it as practical engineering. You have to understand the engineering side of it to be any good. You have to know electrical, electronics, Plc/DCS systems, process control, pumps, motors, turbines and so on. To be good you really have to know it all.
Every male in my family does instrumentation. If you are an instrument tech and you aren't making at least 100k, you're doing it wrong...
If you want some more info on the practical side of what a good instrument tech has to know, download "lessons in instrumentation" by Tony Krupholdt (I think that's how you spell his name). It's a technicians guide that covers most of what you need to know. It's almost 1800 pages long.
