Training and Development in Oil and Gas Industry: Enhancing Workforce Skills in the Evolving Oil and Gas Industry

Abstract

Oil and natural gas industry jobs are evolving, as new technology and environmental regulation change the face of the industry and make having an educated and well-trained staff an industry imperative. Education and training shouldn't end when the person is hired, however. Nothing stays static, and in today's ever-changing energy environment that is more the case than ever. The rapid development of the industry, not the least in the advanced technical field is pushing a high demand on skills and competences for the workforce. Training has specialized in advanced simulation based drilling training, both top-side and down-hole.
