From boom times in Australia and Brazil to unrest in North Arica, our report
on salaries once again displays the many trends, events and orces that shape
the complex world o how people are paid in the oil and gas industry. We are
oten very aware o remuneration within our own regional industry (it is one
o those topics that impacts us all in some way), however very ew o us have
a good handle on how remuneration changes as we move around the world.This is the endearing quality and attraction o this document and we are
pleased to say the main reason why it receives so much interest throughout
the industry.
In general the trend in remuneration or 2011 was up; driven on by a buoyant
oil price and most countries around the world seeking to explore or, or
extract the energy resources they need to advance their own economies.
Indeed it was a year that stood out rom others in the breadth o geographic
coverage. Whilst South America and Asia Paciic continued to lead the way
in new investment, two o the traditional power houses o the industry, the
North Sea and the Gul o Mexico, also came back on line in terms o hiring.
This added to an already busy market, where very ew areas o the globe
were let untouched.
This wider participation was also relected in those completing our survey,
both in their geographic coverage and their number. To have over 14,000
respondents this year was a tremendous number which exceeded all
expectations. This large response has allowed us to drill down into more
speciic roles, disciplines and regions. In this regard individuals can more
clearly identiy their own situation whilst at the same time we can ensure that
the igures we produce are an accurate portrayal o the market.
Whilst assessing our own individual package against the igures is an
emotive and oten interesting activity, it is the movement o remuneration
and employment trends over the last three years that provide the most
ascinating insights. In general the market in 2010 relected the tail end o the
global recession o the previous year and was urther weighed down by the
oil disaster in the Gul o Mexico. In 2011 we have seen these issues let behind
and the market regain most o those losses, particularly so when it comes
to permanent salary packages and beneits. Contractor rates are still below
the highs o 2008, and with the general drit towards permanent staing
it remains to be seen whether they will return in the near uture. Whilst the
markets have sotened towards the end o the year in the ace o intense
negative sentiment around Europe, the data shows an entrenched conidence
that should prevail through 2012 and beyond.
Last year’s Salary Guide was downloaded by over 150,000 people. With a
urther 10,000 hard copies distributed at various industry exhibitions and
conerences, it is ast becoming the reerence o choice or those wishing tocompare remuneration globally. This continues to be our driving ambition,
and we will continue to work hard in improving the content to ensure that it
remains as such.
There are numerous people to thank in the compilation o this document, not
least o which are the many industry proessionals that took valuable time
to complete the survey. We would also like to thank those in our respective
teams at ‘Hays Oil & Gas’ and ‘Oil and Gas Job Search’ that spent many an
hour analysing the data and designing the ormat. Once again their hard
work and the time taken by those responding have combined to produce a
great reerence document or our industry.

Undoubtedly we are delicately poised when it comes
to salaries within the industry or next year. Without a
European induced collapse in the global economy we willinevitably be aced with skill shortages in more than just a
ew select locations. This will drive salaries up urther, and
in this scenario we would expect a larger increase than
the rise we have seen in 2011. With this said, and when
considering the alternative, it would be a ‘nice problem to
have’.
How much dierence a year makes in the oil and gas
industry is demonstrated by the rise in salaries within
drilling. Last year’s igures showed those in this sector o
the industry were sitting in the middle o the pack. This year
they are level pegging with subsea engineering as one o
the hotspots or salaries. With demand or onshore drilling
on non conventional sources at an all time high, and rig
utilisation oshore rising, labour demand in this sector is
obviously buoyant.
With drilling activity up, it is not unexpected that salaries or
others in the exploration and production ield are also strong
this year. Geosciences and reservoir/petroleum engineersshowed good increases and production management and
logistics were also strong. Subsea engineering repeated its
increases o last year and project controls and construction
and installation proved that there was plenty o new projects
under construction.
Core engineering disciplines didn’t are so well with
electrical, mechanical, structural and process engineers all
lat in comparison to last year. These core disciplines are
where most engineering proessionals will start their careers,
and may suggest why headline salaries have not increased
beyond the levels seen.

In line with the increase in project work those working in an
EPCM company saw a rise in salary as did anyone working
or an operator. The most signiicant rises however came or
those with the least experience within any o the company
types, and relected the increasing competition or entry
level talent compared to the year beore. We also saw a rise
or the most experienced end o the market as companies
sought to put their increasing proits to good use, both in
rewarding that talent, and also in attracting new strategic
hires.

With the market on the increase, in general it was a year
in which most company types saw increases in salary
o around the 5 per cent mark. The exceptions to this
trend included both general contractors and equipment
manuacturers, both o which have a high level o localemployees (as opposed to imported talent). In this respect
both groups will be more aligned to local economies than
any global orces and may explain the lack o growth.
The third group to experience little movement in comparison
to last year is the global super majors. This may be the
eects o localisation/nationalisation drives within the
workorce, reducing average salaries. Indeed we have noted
an increase in local employees within this group rom 47 percent last year to approaching 55 per cent this year.

Those benets on the rise
refected the increasing
condence in the market and the
desire o companies to provide
an environment that incentivised
growth. Consequently bonuses,
commissions and share schemes
all made the top ve increases.

Across most geographic regions we saw an increase in the
value o the benets paid, although most signicantly in
Arica and Asia. Australasia, Russia & the CIS, and Europe
were also in positive territory. As has been the case in
recent years we have seen most o the increases coming
rom developing nations, which is refective o the desire o
companies in these regions to retain trained sta in the ace
o increasing competition rom overseas.
While both North and South American gures ell slightly, it
was the Middle East that saw the largest drop in the value o
the benets in comparison to overall package. This was rom
previous highs o 38 per cent the year beore to just over 32
per cent. However there is some evidence to suggest that
this is more refective o employers in that region shiting the
emphasis in remuneration towards higher base salaries and
away rom allowances.
This relationship between benets and base salary should
not be ignored when considering the relative make up o
employees’ remuneration. Whilst some regions continue to
place more emphasis on either base salary or benets, we
have ound that all regions are trending towards 72 per cent
base salary and 28 per cent benets.

The condence in the stang markets at the point the
survey data was taken was particularly high, although it is
worth noting that data was taken in September and October
2011, beore the world economy started to alter around
European concerns. Over a quarter o those surveyed
expected an increase in stang levels by 10 per cent or
more, which is an unprecedented level o condence sincethis survey rst started. As 2011 came to a close, it is this
condence that is most at risk rom depressed sentiment
engulng the media.
As mentioned earlier, the use o contractors has become
more widespread in comparison to the year beore. The use
o expats continued to expand on the back o orecasted
growth last year, and once again the market appears to
believe it will grow again in 2012.

INDUSTRY EMPLOYMENT
DIVERSITY & MOVEMENT OF WORKFORCE
This year we have seen an increase in the number o women
working in the industry, however the pace o growth is not as
quick as most would like. The percentage this year has risen
to 7.8 per cent up rom last year’s igure o 7.1 per cent. Sadly,
to achieve parity with the wider general workorce in terms o
gender diversity will take over 30 years at the current rate o
growth.
We have noted a small decrease in the average age o those
working in the industry rom 36.5 down to 35.5 years old. This
is consistent with the rest o our data, which shows that while
there was a good level o new entries into the industry, many o
these people were experienced sta rom other industries. This
has reduced the average level o experience in the industry;
however it has had only a marginal eect on age.

Within last year’s survey we reported a sharp decrease in
those with less than our years experience in the industry.
This was consistent with a drop in recruitment or those
with little or no experience and was relective o the act
the industry was recovering rom the recession o previous
years. In 2012, the pool o available talent has diminished
signiicantly and this has led many companies to employnew talent and seek to retrain.
As a result, the percentage o those with less than our
years experience has grown rom 20 per cent o the total
workorce to just over 36 per cent. It is worth noting that in
2010 the igure was over 40 per cent when the market was
arguably at its peak so we still have a small way to go beore
we hit that mark.
The picture becomes more pronounced when broken down
by job unction, with Geo-science and Subsea/Pipelines
showing little change rom last year, and in some cases
edging up slightly in terms o average experience. However
we have seen a reduction in construction/installation and
project controls. Both disciplines are clearly project led and
indicate that the project development space has attractedthe most newcomers. In our experience this is where
most skills can be transerred into oil and gas rom other
industries.

Tracking last year’s gures, tenure has remained

INDUSTRY EMPLOYMENT
EMPLOYMENT MIx
Aside rom the equipment manuacturers, the year saw a
sharp rise in permanent sta as a percentage o the overall
workorce. This trend continued year-on-year as companies
sought to build up their core skills in a buoyant market.
The increase in permanent sta was in some cases at the
expense o temporary sta. However it should be noted that
this does not signiy a drop in contractor numbers, only a
reduction in their share o the total employed.
Contracting companies and consultancies appear to have
been most bullish, making a strong rebound on the back o
a buoyant project market. Correspondingly there was less
o a all in the use o temporary contractors within these
employers as they coped with extra workload.
Equipment manuacturers have reduced overall staing
levels and may be eeling the eects o the recent economic
turmoil somewhat earlier in the project cycle than other
companies.
Should this trend low through to other parts o the industry,
we would expect the use o contractors to rise in responseto uncertainty around the general economy.

EMPLOYER’S CONCERNS IN THE CURRENT EMPLOYMENT MARKET
ECONOMIC OUTLOOK
MOST SIGNIFICANT ISSUES
As the market continued to heat up so did the concern
or skill shortages. This has grown as a percentage o the
overall sample rom 28 per cent to over 30 per cent and now
represents the largest concern o those in the industry. This
is being elt most acutely in Australia and South America,
the two hotspots in the world where local resources are
most stretched. North America and Europe are ollowing
close behind.
Not surprisingly economic stability is also a concern at 29
per cent. It is only in Australasia with its booming market
where this appears to be o lesser concern.
Moving the other way and slowly diminishing rom people’s
ocus is environmental and saety concerns. We can only
assume, as time passes by so does the memory o the oil
spill in the Gul, and the issues surrounding the cause o that
event attract less attention.
This year we have included a new response which we havesought to gain an insight into, namely social unrest. As
expected, we saw spikes in concern in both Arica and the
Middle East. A comparison o data on this issue will make or
interesting reading in subsequent years.
