I recently began my career as an offshore Field Engineer for a Service company. I got my background in Geology, hoping to get some field experience before getting an office position.
I am one of 5 women in my company that go offshore for long periods of time. I find it's a very male-centered workplace (as expected). I'm not sure if you have any thoughts on this matter, but do you see women playing a larger role in the offshore world of the oil and gas field in the near future?
For example I recently ran into a female rough neck and very few people took her seriously, do you think there will ever be an increase in women doing the more "manly" roles?
