OPITO is launching new high level labour market intelligence research which will help define the skills strategy for the future of the oil and gas industry towards 2035.
It will look at a number of changes shaping the landscape of the industry such as the ongoing technological revolution and client sophistication (robotics and automation as well as digitisation and the use of data), the shifting demographic, future decommissioning projects, as well as greater individual career choice and flexibility. All these factors could materially impact on the number of jobs as well as the types of roles there are in the future.
