All rig workers are skilled to some level. Green Hands, or Green Horns are trainees. Roustabouts, or Deck Hands/Ops, are generally the starting point in a career. Rough term for oil workers is Rig Pigs.
Oil rig operators run and manage an installation. The acreage of land that the oil reservoir resides is owned (leased) by the Oil Company. The Oil Company will pay a Drilling Contractor to drill the reservoir. The Drilling Contractor will own the drilling rig and will be the Rig Operator. The Oil Company will also employ Service Companies to perform certain functions on the rig during drilling. With a drilled and completed well the Oil Company may develop the location and install a Platform (if offshore) to produce numerous wells. The Oil Company may operate the platform itself or employ an Operating Company to manage the platform and production. Again, Service Companies may be employed to carry out remedial work on the oil wells from the platform.

Yes. An oil rig and an oil production platform are the same thing.A drilling rig is different though.
Derrick Hand is the title of the person who works in the derrick of a workover oil rig. Workover oil rigs are usually portable, and they fix oil well problems like broken pipes, pump rods, and pumps. They pull thousands of feet of steel rod and/or tubing out of oil well pipes, sometimes miles. The derrick is the basket near the top of the rig (maybe 60 feet up), where the derrick hand attaches/detaches pump rod and tubing and leans or hangs it in sections so it can be replaced when finished. It is a very physically difficult job and pays very very well with little or no experience.
An underwater oil rig does not exist, but semi-submersible rigs do. The pay rates are the same as other types of offshore oil rigs.
