Staff turnover and some specific features of labor force reproduction in oil and gas industry
Use of the shift method as a specific form of labor organization can be referred to some specific features of the labor market of oil and gas industry. Oil and gas companies are located mainly in the northern regions of Russia characterized by severe and sometimes extreme climatic conditions. Tendencies of development of the oil and gas industry witness the fact that in future development of new fields will be moved even further in more remote and uninhabited, sparsely populated territories. The development of these new areas is impossible without the involvement of labor force from regions with more developed labor market, from the cities and villages of the region, as well as migrants from foreign countries. Thus, the shift personnel groups in this situation are the most important reserve for the further development of the oil and gas industry.
