Editor's Notes
- Some quick statistics to give you some perspective on Canada’s Oil and Gas industry. Spending & government info (2007 CAPP)
- Arctic: 16% of Canada’s original conventional hydrocarbon reserves; Arctic Islands, Beaufort Sea, Mackenzie Valley Offshore east coast: 18% of Canada’s original conventional hydrocarbon reserves; Hibernia, Sable Island, Terra Nova and White Rose Offshore west coast: 4% of Canada’s original conventional hydrocarbon reserves; 1972 moratoria
- Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin (WCSB) largest basin in North America; 57% of Canada’s original conventional hydrocarbon reserves (87% of gas and 97% of oil production) Now also has oil sands added in (not counted as “conventional”) – crude oil production will almost double by 2025, to reach between 4.3 million barrels per day (2010 about 2.8 million b/d) Canada has 175 billion barrels of oil that can be recovered economically with today’s technology. Of that, 170 billion barrels are located in the oil sands (ERCB & Oil & Gas Journal)
- These are petroleum sectors that we cover – part of upstream and midstream industry. Approx 17,000 oil and and gas companies representing one or more of these sectors. – Current total industry size is ~170,000 Pipeline : mainline transmission for transporting daily crude oil and natural gas production in Canada. Offshore : development drilling, production and servicing of offshore oil and gas projects. Oil sands : extraction and upgrading of bitumen. Exploration and production (E&P) : onshore activity for conventional oil and gas reserves and unconventional reserves excluding oil sands. Oil & Gas Services : contracted exploration, extraction and production services to the E&P and oil sands sectors. Petroleum services includes well services, oilfield construction and maintenance, production and transportation services. Drilling and completions services includes drilling and service rig for onshore activities. Geophysical services (also known as seismic) includes survey, permitting and reclamation, line construction, drilling and data acquisition.
- Surveying • Use high-tech global positioning systems (GPS) and conventional survey equipment to create maps and design the routes where the seismic survey will be conducted on a prospect (a piece of land under serious consideration). Line Clearing • Clear environmentally sensitive routes and trails in the bush using a variety of techniques such as non-mechanical line cutting methods (hand cutting and limbing) and low ground pressure mechanical cutting methods involving “cats” and mulchers. Seismic Drilling • Use truck-mounted, buggie, track or heli-portable drills to drill holes on flagged shot points (the point at which an explosion originates, generating vibrations in the ground) and plant explosive charges. This work is not required if vibrating equipment is used instead of dynamite. Data Acquisition and Recording • Create artificial sound waves and earthquakes through the use of dynamite explosives and/or vibrating equipment and record characteristics of the underground rock structures.
- The responsibilities of drilling rig and service rig jobs are similar. What differs is the nature of the equipment and the length of time spent on a particular site. Drilling Rig Crews may spend weeks or months drilling a very deep well and once finished, never return to that site. In contrast, Service Rig Crews are onsite for a much shorter period of time (days or weeks) and return regularly to maintain and enhance production of the wells. 4-5 people per Drilling Rig Crew. 3-4 crews are assigned to a rig to maintain its 24/7 operations. The Drilling Crew is made up of both entry-level positions, e.g. Leasehands and Floorhands, and increasingly senior-level positions, e.g. Motorhand, Derrickhand, Driller and Rig Manager. Service rigs operate during daytime hours. There are between 4-6 people on the single crew assigned to a service rig. The crew is made up of both entry-level positions, e.g. Floorhands, and increasingly senior-level positions, e.g. Derrickman, Operator and Rig Manager.
- Provide the specialized services and equipment needed for preparing, completing, testing, maintaining and reclaiming crude oil and natural gas wells.
- Provide examples of unique to petroleum industry occupations
- The Services Sector alone will need over 5,500!
