The entire US energy sector filed for 3,707 new H-1B roles in 4 years. Amazon filed for 100,736
Pulled the DOL visa filings for oil and gas expecting the majors to be all over it. International workforce, technical roles, hard-to-fill jobs.
**They're basically not in it.**
Every energy employer in the country (extraction, oilfield services, refining, pipelines, power, gas distribution) filed for 3,707 new H-1B positions between FY2023 and now. 753 companies, four years. Amazon's main filing entity alone asked for 100,736, closer to 39x the whole sector.
Energy is 0.3% of the program.
**Biggest sponsors in energy:**
* SLB - 216
* Hitachi Energy - 115
* Battelle Energy Alliance (runs Idaho National Lab) - 107
* ConocoPhillips - 71
* EOG - 60
* Chevron - 51
* New York ISO - 48
* Oxy - 44
* Virginia Electric & Power - 44
