In Houston, lots of guys and some women do move to other countries for work because so much oil and gas work is done in more than 80 countries around the world.
I was offered a job in Equatorial Guinea, 28-days on, 28 days off schedule. And flight every month in and out of country.
Even had a women I knew take a job in Saudi Armaco for two years. She has to stay inside the energy mancamp because women can't go unaccompanied in public there.
