15. The Job Profile
OPERATIONS ACCOUNTANT AND REGULATORY REPORTING PROFESSIONAL
#OperationsAccountant #ProductionAccountants #BusinessAnalyst
#TechnicalAccountingSpecialist #FinancialAnalyst
You are a “numbers person.” Your philosophy? If knowledge is power, then the numbers are
the power source. You’re the accountant and keeper of the data leaders need to make good
decisions about a facility or a project. You skillfully crunch, verify and report on the quantities,
costs and revenues from oil and gas activities involved in exploring, drilling and operating
wells.
What does it look like?
With wells pumping and oil flowing through pipelines, you know whether a well or a facility is
performing. In the Production Accountant role, for example, you observe, calculate, verify and
report volumes, rates, gas/oil ratios and royalties. You hold the knowledge to answer the
question: “What did we make this month?”

16. Poll Question
What are you currently using as an online career tool?
A. Google
B. Alberta Learning Information Service
C. Offline tools such as career manuals
D. A variety of websites in combination
E. Other (please write in chat box)

17. Current Online Tools
• The two most frequently used online tools are a basic Google Search and ALIS (Alberta
Learning Information Service).
• There is no consistent process or approach for conducting career profile research.
• Stakeholder participants do not rely on offline tools, such as manuals, to aid them in their
careers research.

Editor's Notes
A big part of our focus and our expertise is providing labour market outlooks for long and shorter-term employment and hiring projections in the upstream and mid stream sectors. We use a proprietary, modelling system to project labour demand and supply and we do it for key regions across Canada, including B.C.
We also do it for the industry sub-sectors: exploration and production, oil sands, oil and gas services and pipeline transmission. We are currently working on an outlook for LNG.
Yesterday there was some discussion about accurate forecasting of the labour market and it is difficult. I’m not sure if you are aware but there are committees that have been established by the B.C. government and industry to look at the skills requirements for the LNG industry, where the gaps are and how B.C. is going to fill those gaps should these projects go ahead. We sit on a couple of those committees.
Aside from labour market information, we also provide what we call HR trends and insights that provide information on current and short-term labour market conditions and trends. Over the summer we released a report on the rotational workforce in Alberta – those who fly in and fly out, drive in and drive out.. I’ve also heard a lot of conversation over the past couple of days about camps and rotational workforce requirements. You might find this report interesting.
The last key area of our work, which I wanted to mention is occupational profiles. We are currently working on 85+ occupations either updating them or developing profiles for new and emerging occupatios in the industry, including occupations in LNG.
“Currently no tool provides a realistic picture of what a job/career actually entails - including lifestyle, environment, physical demands
“Currently there is nowhere to go to get the information to make an informed decision”
“To me, understanding the transferability of skills is huge.”

Validate a Job Profile: We are looking to connect with Subject Matter Experts who can edit a draft profile, provide feedback and rank skills based upon importance and frequency.
SUBMIT A PHOTO: We are searching for a “true to life” photo of you at work. Do you have a picture of yourself that depicts the day-to-day tasks of an expert in your field?
Share Your Story: We are also looking for Subject Matter Experts who are willing to participate in a short interview to aid in the writing of the profile. In efforts to ensure our profiles are authentic we wish to ensure we capture the “voices” of our Subject Matter Experts.
Sit on our Committee: This is an opportunity to provide input and feedback regarding projects that support the growth and sustainability of the Oil and Gas Industry in Canada.
Connect Us: Do you know someone who could be a valuable subject matter expert for our project? Connect Us! It is through actively engaged SME’s like yourself, that we often meet other experts who are interested in supporting, sustaining and enhancing the future workforce of the Oil and Gas Industry.
