Default Oil & Gas Work (Contracts)

I find myself discussing a terrific position (office, senior level, matches my skill set) with one of the larger O&G Companies in town. The catch is that the job is based on a 1-year contract.

I'll be honest......I've never worked on contract before, and am a little put off by the idea. I suspect that the job could turn to permanent once business picks up, but who knows.

Does the CP Braintrust have any experience/advice with these scenarios? What type of rate premium is generally appropriate? Anything specific that should be negotiated beforehand? Is contract-to-permanent a likely scenario?
