Lack of study towards support services in oil and gas (O&G) industry triggered to understanding the heating, ventilating and air-conditioning (HVAC) maintenance and competency of executor personnel in this particular area. HVAC system provide comfort for occupants at offshore platform and onshore plant and serve suitable ambient temperature for the critical rooms that are equipped with sensitive electrical equipment. This study discussed the finding of needs assessment which has been conducted to identify the perception for development of competency in HVAC maintenance for supervisor and technician in O&G industry. HVAC system and maintenance also have been described to understanding the HVAC system in O&G. Online survey questionnaire have been used as instrument and 58 respondents were involved in this study. Mean score was obtained for every question text in the questionnaire. Descriptive survey classified in three categories and the results show all categories very high agreed based on mean score interpretation. The authors add several insights for future studies based on the result obtained from needs assessment.
