Downstream Sector (Refining & Distribution)
Oil and gas operations rely on a wide range of support services, including drilling contractors, equipment suppliers, and maintenance specialists. These workers ensure that exploration, extraction, transportation, and refining processes run smoothly and safely.
Despite their essential contributions, oilfield service workers often experience:
- Job insecurity due to fluctuating demand for their services.
- Workplace safety risks related to handling heavy machinery and hazardous materials.
- Wage disparities between permanent employees and contracted service providers.
- Limited access to professional development and training.

- Advocate for long-term contracts and fair employment terms for service providers.

By empowering oilfield service workers, we strengthen the backbone of the oil and gas industry.
