Oil and gas contractors have said they expect President-elect Donald Trump to have a “positive result” and create more jobs in the global energy sector, according to NES Global Talent.
The company, which helps provide workers for oil and gas, construction, mining, manufacturing and other sectors, surveyed more than 300 oil and gas contractors.
Around 48% said they “personally felt positive” about Trump’s election.
Meanwhile, 63% said it would have a positive effect on the energy industry.
Among US respondents, 70% said the result was positive.
In a statement, NES Global said: “Donald Trump certainly made some bold claims on the campaign trail which could see his presidency herald a seismic shift in US domestic energy policy and reignite growth in the sector.
“Regulatory impediments look likely to be removed and there will be little government support now for those blocking infrastructure projects, leaving the path open for new pipeline projects to move forward.”
