Apply for the positions.

You will have to sell yourself to that industry, using your offshore and platform experience to get into petrochemical. Your experience will cross over easier than you appear to think: And, the petro industry make just stuff you "back" into working on petro pipe on their offshore platforms and ship/barge unloading platforms and piers and docks.
