Survey By Human Resources Consulting Michael Page Highlights High Demand For Oil and Gas Sector Professionals

The movement is primarily driven by private companies that acquired Petrobras businesses and needed to form teams. The sale of the oil company’s assets is opening up space for greater movement of professionals in the oil and gas sector, which faced a serious crisis at the beginning of the pandemic, with the drop in international oil prices.

Currently, the viability of projects follows the rise in oil barrel prices. Brent exceeded US$ 50 to the current US$ 70 in 2021, with an appreciation estimate due to rising global demand stimulating company investments.
