The US Oil & Chemicals markets will always be a major focus of our attention. We are very comfortable operating in the US Oil market recruiting in the GOM, Permian Basin and West Coast. We have some excellent relationship in the Canadian Oil Sands and even worked a few roles in Alaska! 

We make a point of travelling to Houston at least once a year to meet with our major clients and for the chance to develop new relationships. 

Over the past 12 months GPS has also had the chance to work with several major chemical businesses' on the West Coast, proving our value across multiple markets. 

The current climate

After recently going through the largest phase of oil production in its history, the impacts of the last 18 months have ensured this is a difficult time for the US oil market. With rig counts down at a 67 year low it is looking unlikely that production will see any significant increase before the end of 2016. But with the Brent on the rise, we will look towards Q3 2017 onwards for signs of a US recovery in the most developed oil nation in the World. 

The US chemicals market is in excellent shape, with over $59Billion of invest in 2014, it current exports 15% of the worlds global chemicals, a figure that looks set to increase. We will continue to work closely with our global partners, sourcing key senior people both to their US and worldwide operations while also maintaining a focus on how we can support smaller, growing businesses when the market picks up.
