The National energy Board cleared a growing pile of paper-work from its desk in December.

On Dec. 16, the NeB handed out export permits to Prince ru-pert LNG exports Limited, Pacific NorthWest LNG, WCC LNG and Woodfibre LNG export Pte. Ltd, respectively, bringing the number of approved LNG export permits to seven.

The four proponents were awarded permits to export about 73 million aggregate tonnes of

LNG per year for 25 year terms. In approving the four export per-

mits, the NeB cited technological advancements that have resulted in a huge increase in the supply of marketable natural gas in both Canada and North america.

“as a result, the Canadian gas industry is seeking to access over-seas gas markets through exports of LNG,” the NeB said.

“The Board determined that the quantity of gas proposed to be exported for each applica-tion will be surplus to Canadian requirements.”

The NeB is weighing applica-tions for four more export permits.

Jonathan Koning, 23, moved to Fort St. John from Vancouver Island last year in search of a new career. Unsatisfied in his role a Walmart pharmacy manager, he looked to the oil and gas sector for a change.

Koning enrolled in Northern Lights College’s Oil and Gas Field Operations program.

“It’s one of the best introductions to the oilfield you can get,” he said. “Most people just tell you that there is lots of money out there without real-ly explaining it. This is an introduction to every-thing. It’s more practical, and you get to expand into different areas if you want to.”

Students said the course gives them the infor-mation they need to get jobs right away.

“The course is short, sweet and gets your foot into the door, whereas most [other] programs aren’t really hands on. But with this one, we’re on tours, in the workshop to see what things do and pull them apart and see how things work,” Kon-ing added.

Joryn Burle, 19, a native of Fort St. John, will graduate with Koning. Working in the oilpatch runs in his family.

“I learned quite a bit. I like the hands-on work,” he said of the program.

When Koning and Burle completed their pract-icums at the end of December, they were two of the college’s 16 newest Oil and Gas field operator graduates. They are part of Northern Lights Col-lege’s broader goal to be the centre of oil and gas in British Columbia, from education to analysis.

If Fort St. John is the center of oil and gas in B.C., Northern Lights College is the epicentre.

“[Northern Lights College] needs to be the hub of information, communication. It needs to be that place where, when people want to know about oil and gas, they can look to,” said Stacy Smith, associate dean, B.C. Centre of Training Ex-cellence in Oil and Gas at Northern Lights College.

The college’s Oil and Gas Centre of Excellence/Jim Kassen Industry Training Centre opened its doors in 2007, and was jointly funded by govern-ment and industry. The province put up $6 mil-lion and private sector provided the remaining $6 million.

“As far as oil and gas goes, it’s about the educa-tional side,” Smith added. “That’s what we want to be the hub of. And be able to look at where some of the skills and labour shortages may be and address those through the centre so that we can start to build and grow programs, not only for the North, but [programs] that can be acces-sible for the whole province.”

The college has its work cut out for it. One of the biggest challenges for the province

to develop its burgeoning LNG industry will be training a workforce of more than 100,000 people in the coming decade.

In the works are more than 20 LNG projects that would ship more than 100 million of tonnes of liq-uefied natural gas a year to power-hungry markets in Asia.

after it’s rolled out later this year, Northern Lights College’s oil and gas curriculum will help northern british columbia

meet rising labour demand

EDUCATION SPECIAL


Northern Lights College in Fort St. John has a huge responsibility on its shoulders.

In less than five months, the col-lege will release curriculum that will be used in schools throughout British Columbia to train workers for the natural gas industry.

If government and industry fore-casts are correct, the province is going to need more than 100,000 more workers to build and op-erate the production centres in the Northeast, the pipelines and the liquefaction plants in the Northeast.

The Oil and Gas Centre of excel-lence/Jim Kassen Industry Train-ing Centre at Northern Lights Col-lege is going to play an important role in meeting those employment projections.

Stacy Smith is associate dean, B.C. Centre of Training excellence in Oil and Gas. he has been with the college for eight-and-a-half years.

Pipeline News North sat down with Smith to talk about his role in the creation of the new curriculum and the B.C. Centre of Training ex-cellence in Oil and Gas.

Can we talk about your vision for the Oil and Gas Centre of

Excellence?Stacy Smith: The centre of excel-

lence needs to be the hub of oil and gas for the province of B.C. It needs to be the hub of information, communication; it needs to be that place where, when people want to know about oil and gas, they can look to.

There’s has been quite a bit of expansion at the college in recent years. Any more in the works?

We would still like to grow the Sim-ulated Well Production site. There are some more pieces to that puzzle we’d like to add. Growth is part of the North, so any time [the college] has a chance to continue to grow, it is beneficial to everyone. We want to look to the fact that the Centre has to be that provincial entity.

So you want be the go-to re-source for information on oil and gas.

Yeah, and that’s what we want to be. as far as oil and gas goes, it’s about the educational side. That’s what we want to be the hub of. and be able to look at where some of the skills and labour shortages may be and address those through the centre so that we can start to build and grow programs, not only for the North, but ones that can be ac-cessible for the whole province.

Do you have any targets in terms

of student body growth? There is very keen interest in the

oil and gas sector from students who want to come in and take the programs that we have. Our Oil and Gas Field Operator program is very well subscribed to, as well as our Power engineering program; instrumentation, electrical, a lot of the trades are definitely grow-ing as far as numbers go, of course because of the potential for these mega projects to go through.

There’s great opportunity. People definitely see that. Student growth could be quite substantial.

Northern Lights College is care-ful about training people for jobs that are available. How do you make sure you don’t create a surplus of labour before industry is ready to fill those jobs?

We try to. and that’s where our relationship with industry is so important and valuable, so we can take the feedback that we get and ensure that we’re not putting stu-dents through programs that there is no possibility for employment. So we try very hard to gauge de-mand. We’re lucky up here because there’s huge demand.

The Centre is responsible for coordinating oil and gas train-ing at post-secondary institu-tions throughout the province. Can you tell me how you’re going

about doing that?We’re still kind of working on

how we’re going to tackle that. So one of the main duties of the steer-ing committee will be to not only review the internal structure of the Centre of excellence itself, but how we’re going to address the issue on a provincial level. It’s a big respon-sibility. We’re moving ahead quick-ly and we’ll have our first steering committee in January.

Can you tell me about the com-position of the committee?

The steering committee is in the final [stage] of development. It’s a mix of post-secondary, govern-ment, industry, the best mix that I could put together for a group that should hopefully cover the bulk of the province for the sectors that deal with oil and gas. But at the same time it has to be a manage-able committee. It has to be 18-20 people [from throughout the prov-ince]. There’s probably going to be a minimum of two meetings per year, maybe four in the first year.

The best thing about that is I will be able to include more people into that mix to see how the larger group entity can work towards it. It’s go-ing to be, in a big context, a large working group committee that will have people in specific areas of ex-pertise that will be able to break off into subcommittees and have spe-cific goals that they will target.

On Dec. 18, it received an infusion of $200,000 from the province to help train workers for the oil and gas sector. about $125,000 of that will be diverted to the college’s Centre of Training excel-lence in Oil and Gas, which is responsible for co-ordinating oil and gas training at post-secondary institutions throughout the province. The addi-tional $75,000 will come from the B.C. Natural Gas Workforce Strategy Committee to develop a new entry-level program for students who are interested in working in the natural gas industry.

The province expects the program to be rolled out in July for post-secondary institutions in British Columbia.

The curriculum will be developed in an advi-sory group established by Smith. after it’s com-pleted, there will be a pilot program at NLC, which will be followed by an assessment before being released for the rest of the province.

“It makes sense to do a lot of the oil and gas related pilot projects test runs at Northern Lights in Fort St. John simply because we’re in the centre and we have the ability to pro-vide some of that hands on, with our oil pro-duction site, we have the resources to do that,” said Smith.

It’s an important task, a limited budget and and a tight schedule. how’s Smith going to make it happen?

“By being creative and not reinventing the wheel,” he said. “There’s a lot of good informa-tion out there and there is a lot of good informa-

tion that we already teach in our program, so it’s not like we have to start from scratch. We have to figure out the most economically feasible way to take what we already have and assemble it in a way that fits the guidelines of that program.

“[The timeline] is possible. It’s soon. It’s going to take a lot of hard work and dedication, but it’s possible. If you get the right people together and everyone is travelling down the same path towards the goal, anything is possible,” added Smith.

Northern Lights College’s Oil and Gas Field

Operations program has played a central role in training students for the local petroleum in-dustry. Since it was first offered about 10 years ago, more than 400 students have completed the course.

The program is offered twice a year at the Fort St. John campus, every summer in Dawson Creek and has been held in Fort Nelson and for Seabird Island First Nation in the Upper Fraser Valley.

and beginning in February, the program will be expanded to Chetwynd.

Students from Chetwynd had been required to relocate to For St. John for up to five months to take the course.

“Now they don’t have to move for four or five months to Fort St. John for this program, and that’s important if you’ve got someone who’s re-training,” said Brad Lyon, executive director of communications and community relations for Northern Lights College. “They’ve been in a dif-ferent line of work. They’ve got family. They’ve

got a wife or husband and kids at home,” he added.

The program will be offered to 16 students in Chetwynd, 12 of which will be reserved for dual-credit high school stu-dents and the remaining four spots will go to adult students.

“It can be a big deal to pick up and move for four or five months to get that

training. If we can offer it in their home commu-nity, that’s just one less obstacle for them to get the training they need,” said Lyon.

Using the college’s mobile oil and gas lab, the program in Chetwynd will follow the same cur-riculum as those offered in Fort St. John and Dawson Creek.

“This is an opportunity for Northern Lights College to train some additional workers in a

career area that is in high demand,” said Lyon. “By being able to train, in this case in Chetwynd, an additional 16 entry level oil and gas field op-erators, we’re helping meet the demand that’s out there in industry and helping train some ad-ditional workers.”

The program in Fort St. John usually comes with a lengthy wait list for prospective students.

Lyon said the school is conscious of local job demand in the energy sector, and as such, is careful not to release more graduates than busi-nesses need.

Students are trained in aspects of oil and gas production and learn how to operate a drilling rig, pump jack, wellhead, three-phase separator,

glycol dehydration unit, line heater, flare stack, storage tank, gas compression unit, amine unit and a pig receiver/launcher.

Terry Beaton, an Oil and Gas Field Operations program instructor, said Chetwynd will be oper-ated as a pilot project, and whether or not it will be offered there again will depend on various factors.

“We’re offering the program in Chetwynd be-cause we’re anticipating more people located in that area, working in that area,” Beaton said. “So by supplying a training program there, we’re gearing more towards local people working in a local area.”

For the province, it’s a potential trillion-dollar

industry. For Koning and Burle, it’s a new career and a lifetime of guaranteed employment.

“I really just want to get into the oilfield, learn what it’s all about. I have a dad and father who both do it, they like it. They get up every day and love going to work,” said Burle.

Pipelines are essential to Brit-ish Columbia’s plan to cash in on its abundance of natural gas.

Of the eight major pipelines in the works in B.C., five would transport natural gas through the northern half of the province to liquefaction plants and export terminals on the coast. Two more would be for bitumen and another is strictly for gas transport in the Northeast. Yet another pipeline might soon be announced to feed Kitimat Clean Ltd., the proposed $27-billion oil refinery on B.C.’s coast.

a number of other pipelines have been bandied about, but have not yet entered the regulatory process.

The eight projects, not including the refinery, call for the construction of 5,975 kilometres of new pipeline in B.C. and alberta, most of which cuts through the north. Two of the propos-als are expansions to pipelines that already exist: Trans Mountain and Pa-cific Northern Gas’ pipelines.

Only one new pipeline heads southward to the lower mainland.

PNG’s pipeline that stretches from Summit Lake, north of Prince George, to Kitimat, might actually have spawned two offspring, which could set a precedent for further pipeline development.

environmental impacts notwith-standing, the Peace river region stands to benefit from the economic windfall if businesses here can find the workers to meet the demand. and that’s a big “if,” considering the region already sits at full employment.

Steve Thorlakson, president at Thorlakson Management Ltd. and former mayor of Fort St. John, says whether local businesses ben-efit from the pipeline construction boils down to the capability of their workforce.

“I think the No. 1 thing they can do is train up their staff in apprentice-ship programs to get them qualified,” he said. “If you’re a major oil compa-ny, you want to hire people who are qualified and capable. The gap seems to be in certification: the supply of trained, skilled people is considerably lower than the demand.”

Though much of the pipeline con-struction would take place hundreds

of kilometers away, local business leaders say they could still take ad-vantage. The pipelines would come with a big expansion of fracking in the Montney Formation, on which Fort St. John and Dawson Creek reside.

Labour and environmental mitiga-tion are going to be the biggest stum-bling blocks for the region.

There’s already a labour shortage and LNG “is going to exacerbate it. It’s going to make it worse,” said Thorlak-son. It’s one thing to have good pay-ing jobs, it’s another thing to have ca-pable people. If Site C goes ahead, it’s going to make it even tighter.”

Following is an overview of the eight pipelines and where they stand in the regulatory process.

PNG Looping ProjectThe Looping Project is one of

the most interesting projects in the works because its stems from a pipe-line that already cuts through the North, the only one that does what five more want to do. after selling its stake in the original “looping” plan in 2011, PNG opted to go ahead with a similar plan in July 2013.

Its original line now has two off-

spring, presenting a potential model for more pipelines down the road.

The new project, like the old, envi-sions twinning Pacific Northern Gas’ pipeline that was originally built in 1969 from Summit Lake, north of Prince George, on the Spectra energy pipeline system, to Kitimat.

PNG wants to expand the 525-km pipeline to meet the growing needs of its consumers in Northwest B.C. and feed small-scale LNG export projects, it says. at 24 inches in diam-eter, it’s the smallest of the pipelines that are in the works.

Current statusPublic comments were received on

the draft application Information re-quirements through Jan. 2, 2014. an aIr is issued by the B.C. environmen-tal assessment Office and specifies the studies that must be conducted and other information to be included with the application for an environ-mental assessment Certificate.

PNG hopes to submit its applica-tion for an environmental Certificate in the Fall of 2014 and break ground in the fourth quarter of next year, ac-cording to its website.

Six east-west pipelines are in the regulatory process. They are the Northern Gate-way Pipeline, the Westcoast Connector Gas Transmis-sion Project, the Prince Rupert Gas Transmission Project, the Pacific Trails Pipeline, the Pacific North-ern Gas Looping Project and the Coastal GasLink Pipe-line. Two more, not shown, are the Trans Mountain Ex-pansion Project and North Montney Mainline. Though most will only be built if their associated LNG projects get the go-ahead, the pipelines are key components to the future of British Columbia’s economic growth.

The Pacific Trail Pipeline is fur-ther along the regulatory path than the other pipelines, having already completed its environmental as-sessment and receiving the green light from provincial authorities in 2008.

The project was originally concocted by Pacific Northern as a joint partnership between PNG and Galveston LNG Inc. to “loop” PNG’s existing line from Kitimat to Summit Lake. On Feb. 7, 2011, PNG cashed out, selling its 50 per cent

stake for $50 million ($30 million in 2011 and the rest if Kitimat LNG breaks ground).

The 463 km, 36-inch pipeline would be capable of moving 1,000 MMcf per day of natural gas to the terminal, where it will be liquefied and shipped to Pacific rim markets.

The pipeline’s associated LNG projects include Kitimat LNG (Chevron Canada, apache Canada) and BC LNG. The latter was award-ed a 20-year export permit from the

National energy Board for a maxi-mum annual volume of 1.8 million tonnes of LNG in 2012. Kitimat LNG was granted a 20 year export permit by the NeB in October 2011.

The natural gas would come from the 644,000 undeveloped acres in the horn river and Liard basins that Chevron Canada and apache Canada have jointly invested in, ac-cording to regulatory filings.

Current statusIn 2013, Pacific Trail Pipelines

Limited Partnership signed an agreement with 15 First Nations (the First Nations Group Limited Partnership) to provide up to $200 million in financial benefits over the life of the project.

What’s holding this project up is a final investment decision from its LNG partners.

That won’t come until Kitimat LNG has firm contracts in place from buyers in asia.

Provincial authorities must also finalize gas tariffs.

at 48 inches in diameter, the Coastal Gas-Link Pipeline would be the biggest pipeline in Canada.

The 650-kilometre pipeline would begin 40 kilometres west of Dawson Creek and conclude near Kitimat. It would be capable of moving five billion cubic feet (bcf)per day of gas with six compressor stations.

The Coastal GasLink Pipeline would feed the proposed LNG Canada natural gas export terminal near kitimat, which would be operated by Shell (U.S.), PetroChina (China), Mitsubishi (Japan) and Kogas (Korea).

LNG Canada’s strength is that it already has buyers in place for its gas.

Current statusPublic comments were received on the draft

application Information requirements (daIr) from March 11 to april 10, 2013. an aIr is issued by the B.C. environmental assessment Office (eaO) and specifies the studies that must be conducted and other information that must be included in order to earn an environmental as-sessment Certificate.

The public comments would be incorporated into the application Information requirements.

On Feb. 4, 2013, LNG Canada was awarded a 25-year permit by the NeB to export 24 million tonnes of LNG per year.

Public comments closed for LNG Canada’s application Information requirements on Dec. 13, 2013.

Construction of the pipeline is contingent on LNG Canada making a final investment deci-sion, which might happen as early as next year, Shell told Pipeline News North.

hudson’s hope

The Prince rupert Gas Transmis-sion Project is the largest of the natural gas pipelines that have been proposed in terms of diameter and length, but not volume.

The 900 km, 48 inch pipe would cut a path from a point near hud-son’s hope, about 80 km from Fort St. John, to the proposed Pacific North-West LNG facility on Lelu Island, within the District of Port edward.

This project has a lot going for it upstream, midstream and down-stream. The associated LNG project is Pacific NorthWest LNG, which would rest on land administered by the Prince rupert Port authority and

is a joint venture by Petronas (Malay-sia), Petroleum Brunei (Brunei) and Japex (Japan).

Downstream, this project already has buyers in Malaysia, Brunei and Japan. Upstream, Progress will pro-duce the gas in Northeast B.C.

Progress energy Canada Ltd. has signed agreements with NOVa Gas Transmission Ltd. for about two billion cubic feet per day of firm gas transportation through its pipeline, and in 2019 the proposed North Montney Mainline extension will connect to the proposed Prince rupert Gas Transmission system, providing deliveries to the planned

Pacific NorthWest LNG terminal.Progress energy Canada was ac-

quired by Petronas in 2012. The pipeline’s capacity would be

two billion cubic feet of gas a day, with the ability to expand to 3.6 bil-lion cubic feet per day.

Current statusIn November 2013, the proponent

submitted its draft application Infor-mation requirements (aIr) and held a public comment period from Nov. 19 to Dec. 18.

The next step on the path to acquiring an environmental assess-ment Certificate is incorporating the

public comments and concerns it received into the application Infor-mation requirements.

On Dec. 16, 2013, Pacific North-West LNG received permission from the NeB to export 19.68 million tonnes of LNG per year.

a final investment decision on Pacific NorthWest LNG is probably coming at the end of 2014, construc-tion could begin in 2015 and the first LNG delivery would be come in 2018.

Like the other pipelines, this one will only get the go-ahead if its LNG project makes an affirmative final investment decision.

Associated LNG project: Prince Rupert LNG

Length: 850 kilometresWhere: Southwest of Fort St.

John to Prince RupertDiameter: 48 inchesPrice tag: $6 Billion

The Westcoast Connector Gas Transmission Project is the largest gas pipeline that has been proposed in terms of daily volume.

The proponents, Spectra energy and BG Group, envision a pipeline that would move 4.2 billion cubic feet per day of natural gas from Spectra’s pipe system at Station 2, southwest of Fort St. John, to ridley Island, near Prince rupert, some 850 kilometers away.

The proposal involves building a twinned pipeline.

The associated LNG project is Prince rupert LNG, which is a 50/50 joint venture by BG Group and Spectra energy.

Significant challenges to overcome include securing long-term buyers for its natural gas and finalizing a route for the pipeline, as well as gain-ing a “social licence” from impacted communities and First Nations.

Current statusThe proponent submitted its draft application

Information requirements (daIr) early last year and held a public comment period from May 3 to June 2. The next step on the path to acquiring an environmental assessment Certificate is incorpo-

rating the public comments and concerns into the application Information requirements. On Dec. 16, 2013, Prince rupert LNG exports Limited was granted a licence to export 21.6 million tonnes of per year for a term of 25 years. Prince rupert LNG’s final investment decision isn’t expected until 2015.

The Joint review Panel established to examine Northern Gateway has concluded that the $5.5 billion pipe-line is in the best interest of Canadi-ans, on the condition that enbridge meets 209 conditions.

The three-person panel weighed information it received during 180 days of public hearings in 21 com-munities throughout alberta and B.C. that would be impacted in some way by the pipeline.

Now the ball is in the federal Cabi-net’s court. Prime Minister Stephen harper must issue a final verdict on Northern Gateway by the end of spring.

“after weighing the evidence, we concluded that Canada and Canadi-ans would be better off with the en-bridge Northern Gateway project,” said the report.

The 1,150-kilometre pipeline would carry more than 500,000 bar-rels a day of crude oil from the alber-ta oilsands to Kitimat, where it would be exported to markets in asia.

With nearly 99 per cent of Canada’s

petroleum exports going to the Unit-ed States last year, the oil industry has been looking to diversify markets, but limited pipeline capacity to tide-waters has long been a hindrance.

David Pryce, Canadian associa-

tion of Petroleum Producers VP of operations, said Canada needs every pipeline it can get to move product to market, including Northern Gateway.

“It’s a decision that’s part of the reg-ulatory process,” he said. “There will be continuing challenges of getting on the ground and constructing it. I think companies and governments need to continue that dialogue around how that’s going to happen.”

Other oil pipeline projects are ei-ther at early stages or are stuck in

troubled waters. energy east would carry crude from alberta to the east Coast, with a capacity 850,000 bar-rels per day from 2017; the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion would provide an additional 590,000 bpd

from 2017; and the politically c h a l l e n g e d Keystone XL Pipeline might deliver 830,000 bpd from al-berta to Steele City, Nebraska, if U.S. President Barack Obama concludes that

it is in the best interest of americans.

The local impactSean Thomas, president of the

Fort St. John Petroleum association, said expanding to markets beyond the United States is essential for the long-term success of the oil industry.

“We have an excellent buyer in the United States, but when you only have one customer, that customer can then set the price. If you can branch out to other customers, you

can get yourself into a more competi-tive market,” he said. “That’s why it’s important it gets approved, so Cana-da can expand into the world market and not just stay focused on North america.”

Thomas said some businesses in Fort St. John would be in a position to gain from the construction of the pipeline, in particular transportation and pipeline outfits.

Thomas works at TCL Trans Carrier Ltd.

“The biggest thing is that you have to do your own research to see how you can benefit from it or how you can help,” he said. “I see this [being good] for the local transportation side, the labour side and the pipeline outfits that are in town. These people are branching out all over. They don’t have a problem heading over there.”

Terry Beaton, an instructor for Northern Lights College’s Oil and gas Field Operations program, said local businesses could stand to win con-tracts from enbridge.

“We would look at pipeline compa-nies, as well as safety companies, be-cause you would need to have safety personnel on site,” he said.


northern gateway pipeline This is what it is

Proponents: EnbridgeLength: 1,177 kilometresWhere: Near Edmonton, Alberta to Kitimat, B.C.Price tag: $5.5 billion

The proposed Northern Gateway pipeline is the most controversial of them all. It would car-ry bitumen (heavy crude from oilsands), rather than natural gas, which some environmental-ists claim is more harmful to the environment in the event of a pipeline rupture.

The proposal is to build a twinned pipeline that would move 525,000 barrels of bitumen per day westward, while the parallel line would bring 193,000 barrels of condensate per day eastward.

The pipeline has become the focal point in Canada for critics of the oilsands, due to the lat-ter’s heavy emissions of greenhouse gases.

Supporters say the pipeline is key to diversi-fying alberta’s oil exports from the U.S. market. They say Canada must find new markets for its energy products because demand is weaning from our southern neighbour.

The 1,177 km pipeline would move bitumen from Bruderheim, near edmonton, alberta to a deepwater terminal in Kitimat.

From there it would be exported mostly to Pacific rim nations.

There is an ambitious plan to construct an oil refinery in Kitimat, but that is still in a very early stage of planning and faces significant economic and social challenges.

Current statusIn December 2013, the National energy Board

concluded the pipeline to be in the nation’s best interest. a three-person panel recommended that the federal Cabinet approve it, provided 209 con-ditions are met by the proponent.

The Cabinet now has six months to make a deci-sion on the NeB ruling.

Provided Prime Minister Stephen harper gives the project the go-ahead, construction on the $5.5-billion pipeline could begin later this year and conclude in 2017.

however, environmental groups have vowed not to stop fighting.

PAIN from PAGE 25

Let’s shift focus to green-house gas emissions. The Alberta Trunkline has been in the news recently. It will be the largest car-bon capture and storage project in the world. It has the opportunity to neutralize carbon emission from oil-sands development in the long term. Do you think some-thing like this is the future of carbon offsets, or do you see another option?

It’s hard to tell what will be the pre-vailing technology, but I think this is a step in the right direction. at the end of the day, there’s going to be a fusion of different technologies.

Is offsetting your carbon footprint a priority for Alberta Oilsands Inc.?

For us, just to go back to our Clear-water project, offsetting our carbon footprint would have been something

we would have looked at, but with the cancellations, the project has basi-cally been killed. I’m sure if the proj-ect had gone forward we would have looked at it. But it wasn’t in our plans, and I guess it won’t be now.

The EU wants to put a levy on oil-sands, even though they don’t im-port any oil from Canada. What do you think is behind this?

It’s economics and politics com-bined. Oilsands is just starting out in terms of the technology in the oil in-dustry overall. It has a lot of potential. I could see in 10-20 years, there could be a lot of exports to different areas of the world: China, the eU, so maybe this is what they’re anticipating by

putting this levy on.

On the topic of the EU, do you think the recently-announced FTA with the EU presents export oppor-tunities, the EU fuel quality directive notwithstanding, especially in light

of the Energy East pipeline project? assuming [our other projects] get

off the ground, yeah I think it’s an-other market for companies like us to pursue. Definitely it would be a ben-efit. The pipelines, as you mentioned, would increase capacity and open up avenues to the south as well.

You’re talking about Keystone. exactly. It’s easier access to get it out

of Canada.

There are other pipeline projects in the works that will have a major impact on how you do business. En-ergy East and Northern Gateway, as mentioned. Can you talk about how they fit into your future?

It would depend on the location of the project, because the locations are dependent on the owners and opera-tors of those pipe-lines.

They’re set al-ready. From our point of view, if we’re looking at any addi-

tional properties to acquire or exist-ing properties to develop, that would be one of the criteria to look at — the proximity to those pipelines.

Now, in looking at which pipe-lines would be more beneficial to us, you look at location, obviously, but then you get into negotiations with the pipeline owners are on us-age levies. We haven’t gotten to that stage yet because we haven’t started producing.

‘Oilsands is just starting out in terms of technology i ... It has a lot of potential. I could see in 10-20 years, there could be a lot of ex-

ports to different areas of the world: China, the EU.’ – Interim CeO and president Binh Vu

ENVIRONMENTSPECIAL [email protected]

NOVa Gas Transmission Ltd. (NGTL) has proposed constructing the 305-kilometre North Montney Mainline, which it says is needed because of the rapidly increasing development of natural gas pro-duction in Northeast B.C.

NOVa Gas Transmission is a wholly owned subsidiary of TransCanada.

The North Montney Mainline comprises two sections. Both the 180 km aitken Creek and the 125 km Kahta sections will be 42 inches in diameter. The former will run about 35 km southwest of Fort St. John to 190 km northwest of the city, while the latter section would con-tinue northward, roughly following the alaska highway, for another 125 km.

It would be an extension to the Groundbirch Mainline.

Current statusan environmental assessment commenced on Nov. 8, 2013. On aug. 8 last year, NOVa Gas Transmission Ltd. submitted a pre-

application project description. TransCanada told PNN that, if approved by the NeB, construction

of supporting infrastructure could commence in the first quarter of next year. Pipeline and facilities construction would commence in the third quarter.

It expects the aitken Creek section of the pipeline to be in service by the second quarter of 2016, and the Kahta section in the second quarter of 2017.

NGTL has signed agreements with Progress energy Canada Ltd. for approximately two billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) of firm gas transportation. NGTL is also in discussions with other producers in the North Montney area for service in the proposed pipeline.

In early 2019 this proposed North Montney Mainline pipeline will also connect to the proposed Prince rupert Gas Transmission system.

Trans Mountain is one of two major pipelines already crossing British Columbia that are planning significant expansions.

The original 1,150-kilometre pipeline was built in 1956 to transport crude oil from Strathcona County, near edmonton, to the Westridge Marine Terminal, near Vancouver.

The proposed expansion would increase capacity from 300,000 barrels per day to 890,000 barrels per day and would require approximately 981 km of new pipeline.

It would mostly follow the current pipeline’s right-of-way.

Similar to Northern Gateway, supporters of Trans Mountain say the expansion is needed to diversify oil exports away from the U.S., which is increasingly less dependent on Canada’s en-ergy. Their argument is essentially that Pacific rim markets are key to increasing oilsands development.

If the Northern Gateway oil pipeline is any guide, this expansion could face fierce opposi-tion from municipalities and First Nations.

Communities along the pipeline’s route have already lined up in opposition. Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan has said the new pipeline is “just devastating to our community.”

Trans Mountain has over 50 years of history going for it, though. Since 1961, 80 spills have been reported to the NeB. Most of those in-stances were minor and occurred at pump sta-tions or terminals. Since 1961 there have been no spills at Port Metro Vancouver associated with oil transported through Trans Mountain.

Current statusTrans Mountain filed an application, of-

ficially called a Facilities application, on Dec. 16, 2013 with the National energy Board. If the NeB concludes all is in order, it will announce a schedule for public hearings.

a Project Description was filed by Trans Mountain on May 23, 2013.

The pipeline is in a very early stage of development.


If Krish Suthanthiran has his way, Kitsault, population 0, will be home to an export terminal for liquefied natural gas. Not just any terminal: It would be the first terminal to come on-line on British Columbia’s west coast, playing an important in-termediary role in transporting the province’s abundant natural gas to asian markets.

Kitsault is a former mining community that was built from scratch during the 1970s and 1980s. The town’s high hopes were dashed when falling mo-lybdenum prices brought its economy crashing down.

By 1982, after being fully in-habited for only 18 months, there was no one left.

It’s been dormant for the last 31 years.

Kitsault’s fortunes took a

turn for the better when the businessman purchased it in 2004 for the bargain price of $5 million - just a fraction of the hundreds of millions of dollars that was spent constructing it.

Now this scenic waterfront town is the site of a proposed floating LNG terminal.

“It’s real,” Mr. Suthanthiran said of his LNG dreams for Kit-sault. “It’s not just a pipe dream.”

Progress is moving quickly.On Dec. 18, 2013 Kitsault en-

ergy Ltd. applied for a permit to export up to 20 million tons of liquefied natural gas per year, or about 960 billion cubic feet per year (Bcf/y), for 25 years.

he has sent teams to China to meet potential partners and hopes to sign a partnership agreement “pretty soon. and we’re hoping in the next few months we can do that. right now we’re talking to close to a dozen potential serious part-

ners - mid-stream, up-stream and down-stream. The buyers are all from asia.”

Kitsault is one of about 20 projects that aim to export natural gas from B.C.’s coast. Seven long-term export permits have been approved by the Na-tional energy Board, while four more, including Kitsualt’s, are under review.

eight other short-term export permits have been issued, in-cluding one to Mr. Suthanthi-ran’s project, Kitsault LNG.

Suthanthiran said Kitsault has significant advantages over the other proposed LNG termi-nal sites. For starters, a shorter pipeline would be required to get the natural gas from where it rests in Northeast B.C. to Kit-sault, which would save signifi-cant time and money.

In September 2012, Spec-tra energy and BG Group an-nounced plans to construct a

pipeline from Northeast B.C. to a potential liquefied natural gas terminal in Prince rupert, some 850 kilometres away, said Suthanthiran. The gas would be chilled into a liquid state and shipped in specialized tankers to ports in asia.

Then in January, TransCanada Corporation was selected by Progress energy Canada Ltd. to design, build and operate a $5 billion pipeline to bring gas from the North Montney gas-producing region near Fort St. John to Prince rupert, where it would be shipped to asia.

Both pipelines, Mr. Suthanthi-ran said, could potentially pass through Kitsault.

Importantly, Kitsault’s floating terminal could be ready years ahead of the proposed sites in Kitimat and Prince rupert.

“It will cost them an addi-tional $3 billion,” said Suthan-thiran, to extend pipelines from

Kitsault to Kitimat and Prince rupert, some 250 kilometers away, over “rough” moun-tain terrain.

he also said Kitsault’s unoccupied houses represent another important advantage over Kitimat and Prince rupert. “all of the places they’re talking about, there’s no hous-ing infrastructure, there’s no BC hydro, there’s also lots of problems about the land with First Na-tions in Prince rupert,” he said.

Kitsault has ready-made housing for 1,000 people.

Time is another advantage he sites. “We have the shortest route, a $3 billion

to $5 billion cost saving and a two-year time saving. The other thing is that some of them are focusing on land-based projects, but we’re focusing on floating LNG. We can get a ship built in about two years, the same it

takes to build a pipeline,” he said. Suthanthiran said he chose a water-based

LNG terminal over a land-based one be-cause the former can be constructed more quickly and cost effectively.

Floating LNG terminals are the wave of the future, he claimed, pointing out austra-

lia’s plans to allow Shell to develop the Pre-lude and Concerto gas fields off the coun-try’s northwest coast using its floating LNG technology. There, processing takes place at the site of the gas field, where it is chilled to -162 Celsius and shrunk by 600 times in volume before being delivered to markets around the world.

“This is the future,” he said. “With floating [terminals], you contract it to a shipbuilding yard, and then they build it to your specs, and everything is fixed. They have a delivery time, and if they don’t deliver, there is a pen-alty. Weather is a factor during construction in B.C. too. The whole thing takes time. In a shipyard, they can build it anywhere [in the world] and they can just bring it in [to Kitsault].

Kitsault is considering building its float-ing facility in Korea.

a team of 15 people have been preparing Kitsault for its first permanent inhabitants

in more than three decades. a lot of their work is focused on getting

homes ready - or at least making sure they don’t fall into further disrepair. They’re re-placing and repairing roofs, fixing plumb-ing and siding, and painting interiors.

Suthanthiran said some buildings are

ready for new inhabitants, but he isn’t about to open the town just yet.

“I need to make sure I get the funding to support hiring a couple hundred workers to do more things, but we will probably begin to do that next year. add more people to re-store more things,” he said.

‘We have the shortest route, a $3 billion to $5 billion cost saving and a two-year time saving ... we’re focusing on floating LNG.’

ON the ButtONSouth Peace Oilmen’s Association

Bonspiel hopes to raise over $10,000

Rocks were flying at the South Peace Oil-men’s Association Bonspiel in January.

The event was Dale Suderman’s fourth. For Suderman and his colleagues, the annual curling tournament is part of the fabric of the community.

“It’s an opportunity for individuals who work in the oilfield to collaborate, get together and share some fun with each other,” he said. “So it’s really a team building effort for the commu-nity and for the oilpatch.”

Suderman’s team was one of 21 that participated.

“It’s a good opportunity for people that work in the industry to associate,” he said, adding that it also highlights awareness of the oilmen’s organization.

Trevor Shaw, chairperson and event orga-nizer, said the tournament has been growing steadily over the years.

“The vision of the bonspiel is just to have a good time and raise money for the oilmen’s as-sociation,” he said.

Last year the tournament raised about $5,000 for local causes, but this year the hope is that

will be at least doubled. “Every year that we do it, it gets a bit easier.

People know that it’s coming around,” said Shaw, who had help organizing the tourna-ment from Trevor MacLean.

It was the seventh straight year the bonspiel was held.

Team Encana, consisting of Darren Gingles, Mike Gerow, Shawn Pandachack and Jason Good, won Draw A on the tourney’s third day. They made the trip from Beverlodge, 40 kilo-metres west of Grande Prairie, Alberta.

They said Dawson Creek’s bonspiel is good for the community because it gives them a chance to meet new people.

“It’s good for the sponsors, too,” added Gerow.

“If we come out to support the South Peace Bonspiel, then maybe some of them will come out to the Beverlodge Bonspiel in February,” added Good.

For a lot of people, curling is only part of the fun. Saturday night featured the “peg toss,” the closest one to the middle wins half the money, with the remainder going towards the Dawson Creek Junior Curling Program.

Later that evening a poker tournament was held. Bottle draws and a 50/50 draw also raised

money for the junior team. Charity is an important facet of the South

Peace Oilmen’s Association Bonspiel. Proceeds from last year’s bonspiel went to a

new T-bar and drag groomer at Bear Mountain Ski Area, which is in line with the oilmen asso-ciation’s goal of helping youth.

Money raised at the tournament is going to the oilmen’s general fund, which hands money out to organizations and individuals that are in need of financial assistance.

Shaw said sometimes that means pay-ing hospital bills, and other times it could be transport.

“Anybody who needs some cash,” he said. “This year we donated to the Mile Zero Speed Skating Club to help one of their events.

“If an oilfield worker dies on the job or gets injured, we usually help out the families of those people. We try to keep it oilfield, but we do end up sponsoring quite a bit, like the Canalta Elementary School playground in Dawson.”

Daniel Bonim was another participant at the bonspiel.

“I like to support it. It helps your contacts and you can get together with all your custom-ers and fellow oilmen.”

Following nearly 18 months of consultations with various commu-nities, Kinder Morgan filed its much-anticipated Facilities application for the Trans Mountain Pipeline expan-sion Project with the National energy Board (NeB).

The NeB will hold public hearings on the application before it makes an approval decision.

The $5.4 billion project would re-sult in the twinning of the existing pipeline within the existing right-of-way between Strathcona County, al-berta and Burnaby, British Columbia.

Capacity would nearly tripled from 300,000 to 890,000 barrels per day (bpd).

Crude oil, refined and semi-refined

products are currently transported through the pipeline, which was built in 1953.

The last expansion occurred in 2008 as part of the anchor Loop Project when 158 km was twinned between hinton, alberta and hargreaves, Brit-ish Columbia.

The project would open the door to increased exports to asian markets.

“Bolstered market access for Can-ada’s energy is critical to create jobs and provide economic benefits for all Canadians,” said Canadian asso-ciation of Petroleum Producers vice-president Greg Stringham.

If it gains regulatory approval, Kinder Morgan expects it to go into operation in 2017.

Trans Mountain files to expand oil pipeline

On Jan. 16, Woodside Petroleum Ltd. signed a sole proponent deal with British Columbia for 1,712 acres at Grassy Point, near Prince rupert. The agreement gives Wood-side the exclusive right to negotiate a long-term lease for a facility to liq-uefy and export natural gas on the south site of Grassy Point.

“Woodside looks forward to work-ing with the Government of British Columbia, the First Nations and the

community as we assess the feasibil-ity of an LNG development at Grassy Point,” said Peter Coleman, Wood-side CeO and managing director.

Woodside will pay $4 million to the province immediately, $7 million in one year if it chooses to advance the project, and another $7 million one year after that.

The $17 million will be subtracted from the final price of the long-term lease, which is yet to be concluded.

Provincial government stings Alberta Oilsands by cancelling leases; now company wants its money back

Fort McMurray’s explo-sive growth hasn’t come without side effects.

In June, Ken hughes, al-berta’s then-energy minis-ter, announced the govern-ment’s intention to cancel leases on almost three doz-en properties in the vicin-ity of Fort McMurray, the booming oiltown in North-east alberta.

That has some oil compa-nies peeved.

hardest hit was alberta Oilsands Inc., which had leased land approximately two kilometres southeast of the Fort McMurray regional airport. Company officials say they suffered the biggest blow. Of all the impacted companies, they say their plans had been more devel-oped than the rest.

The government says the city needed time and space to address issues related to its unprecedented growth.

Now alberta Oilsands wants its money back.

Fort McMurray is one of the fastest growing munici-palities in Canadian history.

The city, which is 435 ki-lometres northeast of ed-monton and 65 kilometres west of the Saskatchewan border, had a population of 34,000 in 1990. That is expected to soar to 130,000 people by 2030, which would make it the third-largest urban centre in alberta.

Besides the now can-celled Clearwater Project, alberta Oilsands has three other projects on the books in the province: Grand rap-ids, algar and Lake Mackay.

bitumen plan. resting in the athabasca oil sands re-gion of Northeast alberta, the Clearwater property covered 27.3 sections and comprises the McMurray Formation.

In an interview with Pipe-line News North, Interim CeO and president Binh Vu talked about carbon emis-sions, pipelines, possible export markets and the impact that the cancelled Clearwater Project has had on alberta Oilsands.

Pipeline News North: The province cancelled a number of oil sands leases to allow for further de-velopment around Fort McMurray. But don’t you think that developing Fort McMurray will ultimately benefit Alberta Oilsands from a labour and service access standpoint?

Binh Vu: No. It won’t, be-cause our interests was to develop the oilsands there. So we had a plan in place. We had facilities designed. We were ready to go. We were at the final stages of the erCB application pro-cess. We would have been off the ground within the year.

So they pulled the carpet out from underneath you.

exactly. among the other companies in the area, we were at the most advanced stage, from what I under-stand, in terms of devel-opment. It didn’t hit them as hard as us. That com-pared to Fort Mac’s urban development, from what I understand, they’re at the beginning stages of their development in terms of their expansion. I think they have to go through zoning,

urban development stages as well. We were just caught at the wrong time.

Alberta Oilsands has cal-culated you are owed $56 million to cover invest-ments and you’ve submit-ted an application to the government of Alberta to support the claim. What’s the next step?

It’s all set out in the leg-islation. Whenever the gov-ernment cancels any leases, whether it’s oil or mineral and mining leases, they have a formal way to com-pensate the leaseholders. That’s where we’re at right now. We’ve submitted, as of [November], our claim.

And we’re talking about the $56 million?

Correct. Broken down, it’s around $51 million in ac-tual costs and $6 million in

interest. The $51 million is based on what we’ve spent on the property.

And that doesn’t take into account foregone fu-ture revenue?

It does not. We haven’t re-ally spoken on that point, on future economic loss. We’re still taking a look at that, but right now what we’re concentrating on is what we can quantify.

Where does that leave you?

We’re kind of starting from scratch from our other projects right now.

We have other oilsands projects that are not at the advanced stages, so we’ll probably concentrate on that once we get our com-pensation back [from the alberta government].

Northeast British Columbia boasts one of the largest deposits of natural gas in the world, but it’s not available here as fuel for transportation. and while it’s becoming more common in other regions of Western Canada, it could be years, if ever, before trans-portation companies in the Peace are able to make the switch to the cheap-er, cleaner alternative to diesel.

Gerd Juister, owner of Fort St. John-based Ditmarsia holdings Ltd., is in favour of natural gas-powered transport, and questions why it can’t be used domestically as well as for export.

“We have the natural gas, why don’t we use it? he asked. “It’s all there.”

Juister’s answer is two-fold. he says natural gas powered engines don’t

have quite the power of diesel en-gines. The other problem, he thinks, is getting a service station here. “It’s too expensive.”

If someone would build a service station, transportation companies like his would convert to natural gas “right away,” he asserted.

according to Bob Fedderly, man-ager of Fort St. John-based Fedderly Transportation Ltd., the problem goes much deeper than engine pow-er. he said the political will isn’t there to put pressure on natural gas pro-ducers. Fedderly wants the province to give royalty credits to the company that builds the first LNG station in Northeast British Columbia.

“[The province] is issuing royalty credits for road building and pipeline infrastructure, so why aren’t they is-suing royalty credits to the company that will build the first LNG station?

That would benefit all of us, not just the producing companies.”

Fedderly also questions why Pacific Northern Gas isn’t getting involved.

“Ironically, everybody has a pipe-line right to their house, and with a small compressor and refrigeration plant, could have their own LNG system if they wanted. So I don’t

see what’s holding back producers or natural gas distributors like PNG from doing that sort of thing, because they could have a system in place to refrigerate the product and compress the product to make it available.

“It’s a fuel availability issue.” The closest LNG fuel station to the

Peace river region will be located in

Grande Prairie, alberta. It is slated to come online by the end of the year.

There’s enough natural gas un-der our feet to fill Lake Superior, it’s cheap and it’s less environmentally damaging than diesel, so why aren’t we using it to power our vehicles?

It’s a question Blaire Lancaster, di-rector of government and public af-fairs for Ferus Natural Gas Fuels Inc., gets a lot.

Lancaster says it boils down to the chicken and the egg dilemma.

“Trucking companies are hesitant to make the switch to natural gas because there is no infrastructure. There is no fuel, so why would they invest in it?” she asked. “and infra-structure providers like Ferris and eNN Canada are hesitant to build it because there is no demand from trucking companies yet.”

another reason so few automo-biles are powered with the province’s own natural gas is the lack of lique-faction plants to convert the gas to a fuel. almost all of the liquefaction plants that have been proposed in re-cent years would be used for export purposes only.

Last year proved to be pivotal for domestic LNG use everywhere but in Northeast B.C.

In November 2013, Ferus Natu-ral Gas Fuels and eNN Canada an-nounced a joint venture to construct,

own and operate two LNG liquefac-tion plants. One will be established in Vancouver and the other will be built in edmonton. They will service the on-road trucking market as well as other high-horsepower applications, including marine, rail and oil and gas exploration.

a number of new stations were announced throughout Western Canada. eNN Canada is planning LNG stations in Chilliwack, Vancou-ver, Kamloops, edmonton and Cal-gary, as well as three new locations in southern Ontario.

“It’s happening throughout Cana-da,” said Lancaster. “[Trucking] com-panies can’t switch until the supply is there. essentially it’s like, if you build it they will come.”

LNG supply is starting to be ad-dressed with new Shell and encana/Ferus facilities coming online from 2014 to 2016.

FortisBC is planning to expand output at their LNG production facil-ity in Delta, B.C.

eNN Canada, a subsidiary of eNN Group, one of the largest natural gas distributors in China, plans to con-struct two LNG liquefaction plants that will be operational at the begin-ning of 2016, which would greatly ex-pand the amount of liquefied natural gas that is available for the transpor-tation sector. Founded in 2012, it

hopes to foster a booming LNG sec-tor in Canada.

alicia Milner, president of Canadi-an Natural Gas Vehicle alliance, says it’s not a question of “if” but “when” transport companies in Western Canada adopt LNG as a fuel.

“Whereas all of these vehicles now rely on diesel fuel, LNG will start to be an option for fleets that operate along regional corridors or return-to-base,” Milner said. “The timing to start to see this transformation will be in the next two-to-four years, as we build on early adopters such as Vedder Transport in abbotsford with their 50 LNG tractors.”

Two factors critical to market transformation, she said, are access to LNG and the availability of a high-er horsepower engine for the Class 8 trucks that are suitable for use in re-gional oil and gas operations.

For some trucking companies, en-gine horsepower is an issue.

The withdrawal of Westport’s 15 li-tre engine means that the maximum available horsepower engine is the Cummins Westport 12 litre ISX G, which is rated up to 400 horsepower. This engine can be used for trucks that operate on CNG or LNG.

a higher horsepower Volvo 13 litre engine is coming to the market in 2015, however Cummins recently an-nounced plans to halt development

of its 15-litre natural gas engine. “These new engines will be criti-

cal, as they will open up factory-built vehicle availability options that are more suitable to the types of higher horsepower applications being used in Western Canada,” said Milner.

even with the new engines, Mil-ner says the market for natural gas is limited. “Natural gas will remain as a niche fuel that is suitable for certain applications depending on vehicle range requirements,” she said. “Third party analysts are suggesting that we will start to see natural gas capture 5-10 per cent of the sales of new Class 8 trucks over the next several years.”

The Canadian Natural Gas Vehicle alliance forecasts 500-1,000 trucks will be converted to natural gas in the coming years in Western Canada.

Ferus has a slightly more optimis-tic outlook. It said “thousands” is not unrealistic in the next three years, “especially as the LNG infrastructure becomes available. Where there is LNG supply, which is what we’re con-tributing to with our plants, and the LNG refueling stations, which is what eNN Canada is bringing to the table.”

That number could explode to “tens of thousands” within a decade.

The demand for diesel in B.C. and alberta is 2.8 billion gallons per year, which is about 7.5 million gallons per day. That could essentially be the tar-get market for LNG suppliers.

“We’re not assuming or looking to replace all of that diesel demand with LNG,” said Lancaster, “but that is what the total LNG market could be in B.C. and alberta.”

“Our belief,” said Lancaster, “is the more and faster we build this neces-sary infrastructure, like LNG plants, which is Ferus’ area of expertise, and associated dispensing and fu-eling equipment, the more end us-ers are going to start switching over more quickly.”

Why natural gas?

The price of CNG is relatively stable, with little fluctuation. One litre of CNG costs about $.74. That’s almost half the price of gasoline and diesel, which costs about $1.25 per litre and $1.40 a litre, respectively.

A new front in the natural gas campaign

The Canadian Natural Gas Ve-hicle alliance opened up a new front in the campaign to get more trucking companies to convert to natural gas.

Starting this month, three new outreach hubs will be open. The Western Outreach hub will be based in Calgary and offer work-shops, access to a toll-free number for inquiries and other informa-tion provided to fleets interested in learning more about both CNG and LNG as vehicle fuels.

The hub will build on the web-site’s success. It was launched in english and French in October 2012 to be a resource for commer-cial fleets who want to learn more about natural gas as an affordable, lower-emission option.

“The Go With Natural Gas web-site was developed with the goal of simplifying access to basic in-formation about factory-built,

medium- and heavy-duty natural gas trucks and buses as an option for Canadian fleets,” said alicia Milner, president of the Canadian Natural Gas Vehicle alliance.

In consulting with fleets to de-velop natural gas use in the Ca-nadian transportation sector, the Canadian Natural Gas Vehicle al-liance was told that it took a lot of research and effort to understand the basics of CNG and LNG as ve-hicle fuels. Trucking companies also had a hard time getting infor-mation on available vehicle and engine options, and refueling sta-tion considerations.

The site offers a number of cal-culators to help simplify fuel costs and consumption calculations.

Site traffic has increased steadi-ly and now averages about 1,600 visits per month, which reflects a 30 per cent increase since the start of 2013.

If you work in Canada’s oilpatch, you’re in store for a raise this year. The only question is how much. hays Canada has an answer - kind of.

The international recruitment consultant polled 80 oil and gas companies in Canada about their business last year and their pro-jections for this year.

In the 2014 Salary Guide report, hays says that 27 per cent of employers will increase salaries by three per cent in 2014, but 58 per cent will increase wages in the three to six per cent range, while four per cent of the companies will issue pay raises from six to 10 per cent.

The report also found that half of the em-ployers expected to hire more full time, per-manent staff this year, but 12 per cent ex-pected their workforces to decrease and 38 per cent expected it to remain the same.

hays also asked employers what they’re doing to attract workers amidst a labour shortage.

The survey found that the 80 companies boasted extended health benefits, more than 10 days vacation for new hires, per-formance related bonuses, pension/rrSP contribution or matching, and training or certification support.

The 2014 Salary Guide came with some bad news.

It found that too many oil and gas busi-ness leaders were off the mark in their pro-jections for 2013.

according to its data, seven per cent of the 80 businesses expected a dip in activity last year, but 18 per cent experienced one.

“Canadian business leaders in the oil and gas industry have proven to be overly opti-mistic about their business and hiring pros-pects while suffering severe skills shortag-es,” according to the study.

accordingly, fewer permanent work-ers were hired than the 80 companies had expected.

however, things could improve this year. The hays report found that 68 per cent of

the employers forecast business activity to increase in 2014.

Just under half of the employers believed the economy would strengthen in the next six to 12 months, while 48 per cent believed it would remain the same.

“It’s worth noting that oil and gas employ-ers remain optimistic even when data sug-gests that a temperate outlook would be more prudent,” said hays Canada President rowan O’Grady. “Companies would be bet-ter served by producing more accurate as-sessments of their growth prospects and ad-justing their hiring plans accordingly.”

The report also found that most of the

companies are suffering from a shortage in skilled labour; 66 per cent of the surveyed companies reported that they suffered from “moderate to significant” shortages; 34 per cent blamed a lack of training and profes-sional development; and 33 per cent said too few people were entering the labour market.

hays presented a course of action for the employers.

“There are options for Canadian compa-nies that are frustrated by an inability to find skilled professionals, particularly at the mid management level where there is additional pressure to fill vacancies,” they said. “It is possible to hire a slightly less experienced candidate with transferable skills who can be trained and mentored to develop into the ideal employee. however, employers will have to invest more in their human capital to achieve the desired results.”
