Insatiable demand from the booming Eastern economies such as China and India has driven the price of commodities such as oil, gas and minerals to record heights. Rapid advancements in engineering sophistication and technology have also contributed to making the recovery of these commodities more economically and ecologically viable.
Major companies are posting record profits and investing more than ever in exploration and production. This in turns means that there are increased opportunities for the service and contracting companies supplying the national and international operators. In addition, the renewable energy sector is developing rapidly; again supported by technological developments making solar, wind, waste etc. projects commercially sensible.
Until recently the environment was very different as the natural resources industry was a much less attractive option. Graduates and talented people left the industry to explore opportunities elsewhere. This has created a high demand for high potential individuals and a comparatively low level of available talent.
