That's a little vague old boy; kind of like showing up at a bowling alley and asking for information about 'balls'. Ask a specific question and ye shall receive a specific answer!
It's not just an adventure....
it's just a job!

I'm assuming you are either starting out or have only flown VFR or Military.
Do a google search on OGP and you will at least see what is required.
Here's a couple of links to get you started.

Helicopter Operations at Sea
Hello bluehawaii
There is a book called
Helicopter Operations at Sea - A Guide to the Industry by David J,. House
ISBN 1 85609 168 6
Published by Witherby & Co Ltd
email: books(at)witherbys.co.uk
www.witherbys.com
I have the second edition which was published in 1999. It is geared mostly toward HLO's, offshore and ships personnel and Naval and Merchant Naval officers but there is a lot of useful information in it which may be of use, if a little dated - references to the Westland WG30 and the Boeing 234 Civil Chinook for example).
There may even be a later updated edition available.
And, I don't think it was a vague question
Good luck

Drilling ships look for oil and gas. Helicopters are used to transfer crew. Oil rigs extract oil and gas found by drilling ships. Helicopters are used to transfer crew. That's it basically.

maybe we can help?
bluehawaii,
helinews magazine which publishes in the asia-pacific is doing a story on the offshore industry in australia, e timor and india for our june issue.
i know this b/c i'm writing it, i'm a new member on the staff, and it includes data from interviews with bristow, chc, some smaller australian helo operators and indian helo operators
it's sort of an overview of the offshore helicopter industry (asia) and will include info for interested pilots on what operators hiring are looking for
hope it helps
