性别多样性已成为石油和天然气行业日益重视的事项，钻井工人和操作员的共同努力表明，该行业是女性获得长期、成功职业生涯的可行选择。在过去的八年中，女性海上基金会一直与行业领导者合作，提高人们对女性在海上环境中工作所面临的挑战的认识。在 11 月 14 日于圣安东尼奥举行的 2024 年 IADC 年度大会上，女性海上基金会副总裁 Laura McFalls 接受了DC 的采访，谈到了基金会为帮助女性在行业内寻找和发展职业所做的工作。她还谈到了钻井工人和操作员可以采取哪些措施来鼓励女性加入他们的行列，以及广泛寻找能够为组织增值的非工程背景女性的重要性。
Gender diversity is an increasing priority for the oil and gas industry, with drillers and operators making concerted efforts show that the industry is a viable option for women to have long, thriving careers. For the past eight years, the Women Offshore Foundation has collaborated with industry leaders and raised awareness about the challenges women face working in offshore environments. In this interview with DC from the 2024 IADC Annual General Meeting in San Antonio on 14 November, Laura McFalls, VP of Women Offshore, spoke about the work the foundation is doing to help women find and develop careers within the industry. She also talked about the steps drillers and operators can take to encourage women to join their ranks, as well as the importance of casting a wide net to find women from non-engineering backgrounds who could add value to their organizations.
