furthering career into oil and gas
(OP)
I'm needing a bit of help/guidance, I enjoy my current job, but it's not very well paid and the working conditions are bad and stressful. And I am at a point now where I am getting no more education (Since leaving school I have been in the same job and have an HNC Mech Eng) I work with 3D CAD programs for detailing steelwork just now, to move into the oil and gas industry (pipelines?..) what's the best direction to take? Any and all advice is very welcome, thanks.

Sorry. Couldn't resist.

You don't say anything about location. If you are free to go everywhere, take a look around the world.
One thing about oil and gas: some jobs will be connected to projects, manned up and going as far as the project continues, others wil be in company 'technical base'.
Where do you want to be?
Anyway, we once had an engineer answering one of our advertisments seeking a job away from oil and gas. He had been designing gangways (access bridges) for a project for three years....

Unless you work for BP in Houston for instance.
