Upstream Oil and Gas
Over 84% of global energy derives from hydrocarbons which is accounted for by a daily production of over 97 million barrels per day.
The upstream oil and gas sector also known as exploration and production (E&P) covers the search, recovery and production of crude oil and natural gas. Our portfolio of clients within upstream oil and gas include both Major and Independent E&P’s, Service Providers and Manufacturers spanning from Alaska to Auckland.
Despite the decline of crude revenues in late 2014 many companies recognise the challenges of maintaining a skilled labour force and thus continue their efforts in attracting young people to work in the oil and gas industry. The boom-bust cycle and periodic mass layoffs in the industry pose a challenge to retain competent labour forces. These market forces coupled with the skills gap generated from the ever increasing engineering challenges the industry faces and regularly overcomes make talent acquisition a determining factor between success and failure.
