    There are many good oil & gas companies operating in India and they offer good roles. A lot of companies directly or through consultancies hire Indian for foreign locations. Also, in oil & gas industry one can directly apply to outside India and can expect to be hired if have a good profile. So prospects are not bad.

    Once you go for a higher degree and with relevant experience, you will become indispensable to the industry as it is slowly facing manpower shortage and a generation gap in its workforce.
