Doing a 2 year plan isn't bad. Shitty thing if you were to work the rigs is that you never work directly for an oil company. At least with the Oil Sands the oil companies here hire quite a bit of people which opens quite a bit of doors. Also, a lot of service companies / contractors are international. A few of the drilling rig companies are big enough and are international. When I was working Derrickhand I was offered to go to the middle east somewhere and Australia. Wish I went, turned it down because I was tied to a nicely shaven little box.
Thanks man, I'll keep it updated and see where it goes from there.

Any recommendation for companies i should apply for?
