Oil and Gas in Australia – Sector Overview

As well as being blessed with a whole heap of minerals, Australia does alright for itself in terms of oil and gas production as well. The industry is worth around $28 billion per year and contributes 58 percent of Australia’s primary energy, 2.5 percent of Australia’s gross domestic product, and almost $9 billion in direct tax payments. While oil production is actually on the decline, there is potential for more exploration as Australia searches for more natural reserves. Australia also has gas reserves of 400 trillion cubic feet. Three major liquefied natural gas projects in Queensland and field development off the coast of Western Australia have seen recruitment drives in both states. In particular, construction workers are in demand in Queensland, as well as civil supervisors, health and safety advisors and environmental consultants. In WA, environmental specialists, advisers, discipline engineers, integrity engineers and senior level managers are also sought after. Overall, demand for construction workers is expected to double in the coming years, while structural fitters and welders, mechanical fitters, electricians, fixed and mobile plant operators, structural steel fixers, motor mechanics, crane operators, carpenters and concrete layers are also in demand.
