It should come as no surprise that the largest business and employment sector in the GCC is petrochemicals, more commonly called the Oil and Gas sector. Because the region boasts substantial reserves of oil and natural gas and these products represent the vast majority of its income and wealth, a huge number of companies exist both directly and indirectly due to the petrochemical industry.
There are companies focused on discovery of new reserves, pumping and recovery of existing reserves, construction and maintenance of infrastructure, transportation of oil and gas, and the like. Surrounding and supporting these companies is an exponentially larger number of companies focused on support and related functions, from providing housing for workers and their families to feeding the workforce and their families to training, security, and much more.
