It Was The Time When Women Limited Themselves To The Calmer And Less Dangerous Professions

This report is for women who dream of an offshore job or in other areas of the national oil market, and also for everyone who is curious to know a little more about the female presence in the offshore market.

The female offshore workforce has been gradually growing, but as in any other area more explored by men, there are still many prejudices regarding offshore activities for the fairer sex.

This Space That Women Have Occupied Became Even More Noticeable At The Rio Oil Gas 2022 Event

On the other hand, women are increasingly conquering their space and breaking down the barriers of prejudice simply by seeking professional qualification, being confident, and very responsible in the workplace.

At this year’s edition of the “Rio Oil e Gas” fair, the presence of women at the stands, in lectures, and in discussion and business circles is truly noticeable. Many engineers, administrators, and journalists specializing in gas and oil are present at this year’s event. As a result, there is an expansion of the female sector in various businesses in the field.

In the corridors of the fair this edition, what is most visible are women walking around in their high heels, exuding feminine charm. Much more than in previous editions.

Offshore, we know that there are many women welders, boilermakers, safety technicians, nurses, engineers, and much more.

So if you thought that offshore work is only for men, you are very mistaken.
