Offshore Oil Ops

I'm sure similar questions have been asked but I'm hoping for some specific answers and suggestions.

I'm almost through the commercial program for helicopters at which point I intend to go on for CFI and CFII to build hours. I'm interested in the gulf operations and I have some questions.

Would having my Instrument rating in airplanes help my odds of getting hired in the GOM? Not sure why this would but would having my commercial in fixed wing also help?

Would the dual instrument rating help with perhaps a SIC position in the GOM?

How do the SIC positions usually get filled?

Thanks in advance.
