Yes! There are plenty of them!

Many oil companies are hungry for young engineers to move into exploration and production.

There's a phenomenon happening in the industry: They have a whole bunch of experienced engineers that are almost ready to retire, but don't have enough young prospects to replace them.
They are aggressively pursuing young talent as long as they don't mind traveling constantly, often to to far off third world countries.

Disclaimer: I'm not in the production side, I work in refining but the same thing is going on in both sectors.
We've lost 4 young engineers in the past 14 months to major oil companies.
