Analysis of Factors Influencing The Switching Behaviour of Offshore to Onshore Workers on Push-Pull-Mooring Theory During the Covid-19 Pandemic: A Proposed Study

Abstract

Covid-19 pandemic outbreak has disrupted many aspects of industries including oil and gas offshore platforms operation. Oil and gas production platforms are heavily depended in fly in fly out employees. Living in a very limited space, demanding work, and living far away from family creates physical and emotional fatigues that can enhance accident. The Covid-19 pandemic puts additional strain to these workers in longer working schedules. All these factors may jeopardize the business continuity of oil and gas production facilities. Employee satisfaction is an important variable for business continuity. This paper proposes push pull mooring technique to analyze the employee switching behavior of offshore oil and gas production facilities in the pandemic time.
