Oil and Gas industry is the most dominant in the Gulf.
Recruiters are more focused on hiring professionals to develop downstream as well as midstream assets, as evident from the increasing capacities of GCC countries in petrochemical processing. This offers an opportunity to the experienced energy professionals to take an advantage of the opportunities offered by the growing sector.
The key Oil and Gas players in the GCC countries will continue to invest in their exploration capabilities, with a strong focus on the development of conventional as well as non conventional gas fields. And with significant investment earmarked for petrochemical projects in the Gulf, there is a critical need for skilled talent.
Employment prospects in UAE oil and gas industry seems to be positive in 2013, given the investments in upgrading assets to increase the production efficiency.
Increasing industry globalization, rapidly advancing technology developments, and the growing scale of the Gulf petrochemicals sector are also expected to increase the demand for senior level professionals, in terms of both operational strategy and team management.
Also, a steady flow of talent is extremely critical for the long term growth of the oil and gas industry as more and more companies are expanding their horizons into global markets.
