Although there aren't any oil wells in Washington state (500 wells have been dug, but only one produced enough to be commercially viable %26amp; it was closed in 1961). There is no off-shore drilling either due to the geology of our coast (http://www.kitsapsun.com/news/2008/jun/2鈥?/a> But, we do have at least 5 refineries in the state that truck oil, gas, etc. throughout the state. They are all in western Washington: Two are in Anacortes (Tesoro and Shell), there's one in Blaine (BP's Cherry Point Refinery), one in Ferndale (Conoco Phillips) and one in Tacoma (U.S. Oil %26amp; Refining).I don't know about job openings, but, I should think a skill like driving a pump truck would be readily transferrable!Oil companies in Washington state?
I do not know of any oil companies in Washington State but there is a pipeline company there (Olympic) and a number of oil refineries in the northwestern part of the state near Bellingham.
we have a few jobs like that here. washington state doesn't have any oil wells that i know of so all of our oil has to be trucked in, or on ships? most are small private companies.
