India is the second largest refiner in Asia with 21 refineries, after China. According to India’s Ministry of Petroleum and Gas, the country produced 37.7 million tons of crude oil in 2013 and consumed 136 million tons of petroleum products. The number hardly shows any decline in the current scenario and with the additional factor of growing population pushing oil & gas industry forward, it calls for the need of highly skilled and industry oriented workforce, well aware of this niche market and its practices. Contributing to this highly specific requirement is Confianza Recruitment Solutions, harbouring an in-depth market insight and leveraging local as well as international recruiting solutions to help deliver the most skilled talent pool for major oil and gas projects across the globe.
