In an analysis of the oilfield service industry, sector intelligence firm Rystad Energy noted that the main driver of employment was shifting from shale to offshore.
Rystad said on Tuesday that increased activity in onshore shale basins such as the Permian in the U.S. held employment in the oilfield service industry steady from 2016 to 2017.
However, the offshore industry has now taken the lead, gradually increasing the overall headcount of the top 50 oilfield service companies from 2017 to 2018.
