India’s Oil & Gas Manpower Partner Since 2007

Upstream, Midstream, Downstream — One Partner

Metro Manpower has been supplying skilled manpower across India’s oil & gas value chain since 2007. Our candidates have worked on onshore drilling rigs, jack-ups and floating production platforms, gas processing trains, LNG terminals, cross-country crude and product pipelines, and city gas distribution networks.

Whether you need a 30-person offshore turnaround crew on a Mumbai High platform, a wellhead operations team for a CBM block in Jharkhand, or a commissioning crew for a new gas processing complex — Metro deploys API-aware, IADC-trained, OISD-compliant professionals from our 20,000+ candidate database.

What sets Metro apart in oil & gas is breadth — we cover both upstream E&P (drilling, well-testing, subsea, FPSO operations) and the gas value chain (processing, treatment, transmission, distribution). Our crews understand the operational rhythm of a 24/7 hydrocarbon facility, the discipline of an offshore POB, and the documentation rigour that DGMS, OISD, and PNGRB demand.

We’ve supported deployments for ONGC, Oil India, Cairn / Vedanta, Reliance KG-D6, Adani Total Gas, IGL, GAIL, and major EPC contractors operating across India’s O&G corridors — both for project execution and ongoing operations.

Industry Challenges

Challenges Facing Oil & Gas Manpower in India — And How We Address Them

O&G operations demand certificate rigour, environmental discipline, and offshore-ready crews. Here’s how Metro’s 19-year approach directly solves them.

01

Offshore Mobilization & Certificate Verification

Offshore deployments demand BOSIET / HUET, OGUK medical, valid passports and travel documents — all verified before mobilization. Metro pre-screens every offshore candidate’s certificates and medicals so crews clear the heliport on schedule.

02

Well-Control & Drilling Compliance

IWCF and IADC WellCAP certifications are non-negotiable for drilling roles. Metro maintains a curated database of certificate-verified drilling crew — drillers, assistant drillers, derrickmen, mud engineers — ready to deploy onshore or offshore.

03

OISD, DGMS & PNGRB Discipline

India’s O&G regulatory framework is layered — OISD for refineries and pipelines, DGMS for onshore E&P, PNGRB for transmission and CGD. Metro’s candidates know which standard applies where, and arrive deployment-ready.

04

Multi-Site Rotational Coverage

O&G operators run 14/14, 21/21 and 28/28 rotations across multiple sites. Metro manages the full pipeline of standby and rotational candidates — so a vacancy at one site is filled before the next swing crew lands.
