Where to Apply in the Oil Industry!

For those of you who have no idea how to get started with this whole process, then the best advice I can give is, go to http://www.yellowpages.ca and search up "oil drilling" or "oil servicing" in "Alberta". There will come up with a list of companies that provide these services so now you can just start calling. Some of the major companies in Alberta, just to name a few are: Champion Drilling, Trinidad Well Servicing, Trailblazer Drilling, Precision Drilling, Mission Drilling.
For those of you that are unsure how the entire oil industry works, here is the basics for you. Seismic crews go through and survey and mark the land (Pay is decent considering the amount of work, however not comparible to actual rig positions) Then a Drilling Rig comes out and Drills a well where they are told (Pretty much). On a Drilling Rig the great pay comes from the over time (84 hours/week so 40 hours of overtime, 12 hours/day 7 days/week, 14 days on, 7 off) and the $140/day that each crew member receives for living allowance (hotel and meals and gas). Now there are 5 key positions: the Leasehand - who is pretty much the janitor on the rigs and gets paid $21/hour plus living allowance to do it. Then there is the Roughneck - who trips pipe and helps the leasehand clean. Then there is Motorhand - who also helps trip pipe and also is pretty much like the mechanic on the rig. Then the Derickhand - who is responsible for mixing and maintaining the mud that is used for drilling. Then the Driller - just as it sounds, guy who sits in a heated/air conditioned building and tells everyone else what to do. Well except for the Tool Push - who is the boss that sits in a shack and does paperwork and only comes out when shit hits the fan.
Each position is learned from the one previous. Most of the rig hands who are in the higher positions once started as a Leasehand and just worked there way up the corporate ladder. If you prove yourself through your work ethics and abilities then it can take as little as 1 month for you to receive a promotion.
After the drilling rig there is a servicing rig that comes in, I do not know much about how they function, but from what I've heard from the lifers (people who work on the rigs for life) they say that it is similar positions, same pay but more work. So in my opinion if a drilling rig has an open position available, that would be my preference over a servicing rig. However Beggers can't be choosers.
