How to get a job on the oil rigs as a chef?

You have to get what is commonly called a Z-card which is kind of like a driver's license for people who work on any big boat. Contact your closest Coast Guard on how to get one. Be careful since they are plenty of fake agencies out there that ask for money up front and after you pay out something like $300 you never hear from them again. Newspapers in New Orleans often carry oil rig jobs. You typically work three weeks on one week off and they put you up in a cheap motel fot your time off. You can make good money doing it from what I hear, but it is hard work. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordinary_Seaman_Certificate http://www.oilcareer.com/
