oil rigs are pretty tricky, i currently work on one in north dakota. sometimes they can have a person come out and do random hair testing depending on the oil company your drilling company is contracting through. id quit smoking and ask the other hands on the rig
potfor2ski Reviewed by potfor2ski on . Offshore Oil Rigs + Drug testing ok so i've been offered a position on an offshore oil rig, now the benefits are great, 6 months off during the year making 55 grand, ain't that bad. I am aware that they do a lot of drug testing though. I'm wondering if there's anyone out there that is still able to smoke during their two weeks off. Anyone know how many drug tests they do or if they're spread out enough that you're able to smoke at all? Rating: 5
