Since the downturn in the oil and gas industry starting in 2014, there have been massive cuts in employment in the industry. Intake of graduates into oil and gas companies has also suffered. Just like employees in the industry, students entering or already in universities have suffered great uncertainty about their future careers and career paths. The aim of my talks is to set out the dynamics of supply and demand scenarios for oil and gas now and into the future. Although it is a complex industry where trying to predict exact outcomes is difficult I try to impart to the young professionals and students that in the near future of 20-30 years oil and gas would have ongoing important role to play. Hence, the reason for those who can handle the uncertainties, not to give up on the industry. Young professionals and students are encouraged to keep themselves occupied either through doing any job that comes their way or to seek further education to better skill them while waiting for the work opportunities to pick up. Any form of work or additional training would have elements that are transferable into their future careers.
