Indonesia faces shortage of skilled workers
Xinhua, Jakarta
Indonesia's oil and gas companies have begun to suffer from a shortage of skilled workers due to their preference to work overseas, an oil drilling executive says."The shortage of professionals in the oil and gas industry is getting worse, as most of the existing companies need more skilled workers to support their expansion projects," said Mohammad Zulkarnain, finance and administration director for state-owned PT Elnusa Drilling Services, quoted by the Jakarta Post Saturday. The director worried that the shortage of professionals would hinder the government's plan to boost oil production to 1.3 million barrels per day by 2009, from the current level of one million barrels.
