The upstream Oil & Gas sector is tipped to lose up to 50% of the workforce over the next 5 years..and perhaps 80% by 2018.

TheOilCommunity is designed as a tool for knowledge capture and sharing. We plan to take things even further, by developing a wiki-style knowledge database in consultation with leading academics and industry professionals.

If you'd like to be involved in this important initiative, we'd love to hear from you.

TheOilCommunity is an advanced communication medium for professionals, students and academics in the Oil & Gas sector.

A dynamic environment using the latest web-based technology. Bringing people together with common interests, and providing a platform to share multimedia content and collaborate.

A professional resource designed to boost productivity. Delivering personalized content so you can read it at your leisure - including jobs, training, discussions, events and lifestyle information.

A useful tool for industry-wide knowledge capture and sharing. With forums, groups, wikis, and a growing library of multimedia content. Organized and structured around technical specialties and Oil Hub locations, making it quicker to find the information you're seeking.

While it's quick and easy to join, to ensure the quality and integrity of the community, we verify the identity of all Members before granting rights to interact and publish content.

Your experience using the site is customized to suit your interests, with 'Push' technology delivering content to your Home page, so you don't waste time searching for it.

You'll find the latest industry news, events and courses, and articles on topical issues like climate change, peak oil and emerging technology.

If you're looking for a job, there's a fully integrated job board, with links to company, asset and project profiles, giving you more information than you've ever had before.

Got a technical question? Post it in one of 90 specialty forums and it'll be sent to all the relevant experts. If you want to find out about living in Perth, you can get practical advice from Members living there, or get in touch with a local relocation professional.

Once you're connected to your friends, it's easy to keep in touch through a live feed on your Home page, and there's a colleague-matching process to find friends you've lost touch with, or those you're about to start working with.

The Lifestyle-wiki is a fun way to share photos and reviews of your favorite destinations, and meet like-minded people that enjoy the same activities.
