Africa overtakes Middle East as lead location for top paying oil and gas jobs

摘要

Africa's booming energy sector now accounts for 13% of the best paying roles advertised for international oil and gas experts, more than the Middle East, according to new research by Von Essen, a provider of tax advisory services to international contractors. It says that a growing number of oil and gas jobs offering more than ￡100,000/y are being created by increased exploration and extraction activity in Africa, not just in well-established centres in Northern Africa and Nigeria, but increasingly also in Kenya, Ghana, Tanzania, Niger, Uganda, Mozambique, and Angola, where the business environment has been improving, encouraging greater external investment. Ghana, Niger, Uganda and Kenya are now able to produce more than 100,000 b/d.
