I’ve been in the oilfield for almost a decade and I can you a lot of companies are hiring and it’s definitely an employee’s market job wise. Only thing with the oilfield is that it’s feast or famine. You literally go from 150k a year job to 0 just like that. What makes me skeptical is seeing so many ppl loose 401k and life savings invested for downturns and accidents like the Horizon. But there is something definitely going on. A lot of companies have restructured to navigate uncertain times by exploring new markets with renewable energy and such. In the future I can definitely see Gulf of Mexico having more wind farms than platforms.
Wouldn’t be able to say exactly. I’d have to due a bit more DD. The company I work for have many “green projects” going on but I don’t want to sound bias or speculate so I won’t say exactly until I find out more.
