Expansion Of Services Opens Up Job Opportunities
There has been an uptick in the number of rigs operating over the past month in West Virginia, signalling that oil and gas companies are expanding their company services. This is good news for job seekers in the oil and gas industry.
Kailee E. Gallahan said in a recent article:
“With recent job openings in the oil and gas industry, officials are quick to explain that it isn’t due to a pickup in the energy industry, but rather an expansion of company services in hopes of business picking up in the future.
West Virginia can expect to see a couple extra rigs running throughout the state, said Charlie Burd, executive director of the Independent Oil and Gas Association of West Virginia (IOGA).”
The Texas Oilfield Relief Initiative Offers To Save Oil Patch Jobs
The Texas Oilfield Relief Initiative seeks to reduce the blocks for the smooth operation of oil and gas wells. This is bound to protect oil and gas jobs, as oil and gas wells will produce to its full potential. It involves restructuring reporting and compliance conditions to save time and money for oil and gas operators.
Christi Craddick said in a recent article:
“It restructures reporting and compliance conditions to save costs for both the state and industry. It adjusts the requirements for oil and gas wells with minimal production to allow every well in Texas to produce to its full potential. It makes better use of taxpayer resources by prioritizing drilling inspections in sensitive areas.”
The initiative is intended to attract oil and gas producers to the state of Texas, making it easier to do business in Texas. This in turn translates to more jobs for job seekers in the oil and gas industry.
It seems that the oil and gas industry is slowly, but surely wobbling its way to recovery. Job seekers should wait it out and be ready to take on challenging roles in the oil and gas industry to sustain operations and increase energy production.
