Oil spending up again after 3 years of downsizing
Houston
THE oil industry is expected to boost spending for the first time in three years after slashing almost half a million jobs globally during the downturn, according to industry consultant Graves & Co.
More than three quarters of the 440,131 oil jobs eliminated around the world till the end of 2016 came from the oilfield service providers, drilling contractors and equipment makers, said John Graves, whose Houston firm assists in oil and gas deals with audits and due diligence.
