December 16, 2019 @ 11:50 am - 1:00 pm

Preparing Australia’s Future Oil and Gas Workforce:
Automation is changing the oil and gas industry. New technologies, such as sensor technology, cloud, analytics, machine learning and artificial intelligence, are beginning to transform the way the industry operates and also changing the way workers do their jobs. In the future, the ability to use and interpret data will only become more important for oil and gas occupations. And in a highly complex industry as oil and gas is, continuously seeking ways to increase and enhance skills is fundamental to every oil and gas occupation to be successful over a long career.
NERA, one of Australia’s most reputable energy resources industry bod, have designed a scenario-planning tool which seeks to map the potential trajectory of the oil and gas workforce in Australia in the years ahead, so that companies, workers and policy makers can make informed decisions and prepare for a volatile future.
