In the middle east, it's ...In the middle east, it's very difficult to find a woman working in the oilfield (operation side) even though you can find some in some companies, but very minor number, and I know 1 or two in RasGas, but QP will never do it, they don't even allow girls from my company to go to their platforms or rigs.
Back in The US and Canada, where I worked before, you find females working everywhere in the process and operation side, but here the only females I see are working with the same company I work for.
i.e. I had two females in my crew, and they left just two days ago.
So, there is some companies here can offer such positions to a females.
And by the way, the working environment for females is very relaxing, and there is no kind of any harrassments might anyone think of, the oilfield rules about such issue are very strict, so I don't see anyproblem with that.
Good Luck.

thanx ...oabazeed knew someone would help better than I could, it is nice to know women get a chance in what used to be a masculine world of oil rigs etc.
oabazeed said
brandylady, it's not a ...brandylady,
it's not a masculine world of oil rigs any more.
With the high tech that we use these days, females and males have the same opprtunities in the oilfield, and to let you know, more than 30% of my company population are females, who are working in the operation side, and going to the rigs and platforms like any man, and they are as compitent as men, and sometimes better.
And to tell you the truth, When it comes to choosing my crew before any operation, I like to get the females, for me I consider them a better performer, since they have the challenge to prove themselves where I think they shouldn't have to.
And offcouse the chances in the safety section is more for females, than operation.
Good luck anyway.

i know many female friends ...i know many female friends of minew who works in one of the biggest EPC contractor in the world, in ras laffan.
they work either in cost control, sub contract department, HSE= safety, or even planning.
It all depends on your qualifications but when it comes to BP, EXXON, TOTAL, TECHNIP, SHELL, i don't think they really care if you're a woman or not. Your skills and experience will be the added value.
