Beyond the Pump: The Importance of Oil & Natural Gas
The Workforce Challenge To continue producing the resources that we all need, the oil & natural gas and petrochemical industries will need to fill nearly 1.9 million projected job opportunities over the next 20 years with the best available talent.
The Workforce Challenge: Inadequate Talent Supply The inadequate supply of qualified and skilled talent is the second-biggest threat to U.S. companies ability to meet revenue or business performance targets.

API s goal is to support focused research to gain a better understanding of the challenges, opportunities, and outreach strategies necessary to ensure the workforce needs of the industry.
The strength of the ONG workforce relies upon STEM skills. All skilled, semiskilled, blue collar and professional workers require some level of STEM competency. API is fundamentally committed to increasing the number and participation of minorities and women in the ONG workforce.

Takeaways There are significant employment opportunities in the oil & natural gas and petrochemical industries all across the country. Minority groups and women can take advantage of these opportunities API research shows that most simply lack awareness of the available opportunities. The bulk of job opportunities will be in blue collar occupations, mainly in the upstream sector; white collar positions are also significant. Millennial workers are already an important part of the oil & natural gas and petrochemical industries workforce. Their share of employment will continue to rise as older generations of workers retire. Education and workforce training are critical; significant improvement is needed in STEM disciplines, and recruitment should focus on transferable skills.
