From Land to Sea: Oil & Gas Jobs Could Move Offshore

While most of the news about the economy and the Oil & Gas industry lately has focused on falling prices and doomsday scenarios, one very important sector is booming at record levels and fueling major job growth: offshore deepwater drilling in the Gulf of Mexico. According to a recent USA Today article, drilling permits have risen by 4,300% in just the past four years.

Given the recent job cuts announcements from Halliburton and BP, this is good news for job seekers along the Gulf Coast—especially Houston. There is and will continue to be a growing need for every type of professional and skilled laborer necessary to staff all of these rigs, drillships, platforms, transfer stations, pipe-laying vessels, crew boats, supply vessels fabrication yards, etc. And, just about every one of these operations requires safety and quality control professionals.
