Methods and priorities for human resource planning in oil and gas projects in Russia and OPEC

The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and the Russian Federation are the key players in the global hydrocarbon market today. The successful hydrocarbon development is inextricably linked to the provision of highly qualified personnel for projects being implemented. To develop a universal methodology for planning the number of personnel of certain qualifications for the hydrocarbon deposit development in the shelf area is the main purpose of the study. A tool for prognosis and planning the number of personnel for offshore oil and gas projects is proposed. This methodological tool is based on a model of a static balance between the available human resource potential and the personnel requirements, which is expressed by a system of equations. The calculation is carried out on the example of an offshore project of the oil and gas company.
