This is the key OP---all the jobs I've had have come because of someone I knew. I'd start racking my brain and setting up lunch/coffee dates with everyone/anyone I know in the industry who might know someone else who might know about a job. Ask for informational interviews, do a lot of digging about each company, and ask smart questions about each companies business whenever you get someone's time.
The oil & gas industry is somewhat in the tank right now--that is going to make it doubly hard for you.
For practice interviewing, you can get lots of questions online and practice responding while recording yourself---then watch your response & repeat.
If you spend time improving your writing skills, you'll make yourself more employable as well. Most people can't write for a damn and you'll separate yourself from the crowd if you have any talent in that area.
