The production of oil and gas supports almost half a million jobs in
the UK, with 380,000 involved in extraction from the UK continental
shelf (UKCS) and up to another 100,000 involved in the export of
oilfield goods and services. A highly skilled workforce is vital to the
future health of the UKCS, both in terms of domestic oil and gas
production and the export of the knowledge and expertise that has grown
up with it.
Find out how these jobs are distributed across the UK by following the
link to our interactive jobs map.
This shows the number of people employed in each Westminster parliamentary
constituency, defined by the following categories: Direct employment -
those employed directly by oil and gas companies and their major contractors;
Supply chain employment - those employed in the wider supply
chain through contracts with oil and gas companies; Induced employment -
those in jobs supported by economic activity induced by employees' spending throughout the economy.
The map is fully interactive and can display all combinations of these types of employment.
Full instructions are provided.
This section of the website also presents the initiatives currently pursued
by the UK oil and gas industry to secure the development of talent that
will help sustain the sector’s future. They include an analysis of the
age composition of the offshore workforce which was carried out to
identify future skills needs and links to a dedicated website providing a
balanced and unbiased view of the industry and the careers it can offer
individuals.
In addition, this section provides details of the new oil and gas
industry’s skills academy. This industry-led initiative to support and
co-ordinate efforts and resources that employers throughout the UK are
currently investing in workforce development will help ensure that the
UKCS remains at the forefront of offshore expertise and technology.
