Looking for offshore jobs in New Orleans is a good way to find oil and gas work in Louisiana.
Offshore work is the backbone of Louisiana’s economy. Louisiana makes 1/3 of the USA’s crude production, and New Orleans is at the heart of this massive economy.
New Orleans is located right there on the Gulf of Mexico which puts it in a prime location to hire lots of people. In fact New Orleans is within 250 miles of over 5,000 offshore oil and gas leases. This means there are lots of NOLA area companies looking to hundreds of people to help extract the over 30 billion barrels of oil nearby.
Are you ready to be one of them?
Right now it has gotten a little harder to find offshore jobs in New Orleans though.
First Katrina came along and really hurt our local economy. Then after the BP/Transocean spill in mid 2010, many New Orleans oil and gas companies hard a hard time financially.
Luckily a New Orleans federal judge overturned this ban that would cost thousands of hard working people like you their offshore jobs.
So right now that leaves many people looking for work.
By far one of the largest oil and offshore employers in New Orleans is Royal Dutch Shell.
You can also look for jobs with Chevron, or working locally at the Louisiana Offshore Oil Port where giant oil tankers unload.
