The oil and gas sector is at risk of failing to deliver the 28,000 skilled engineering construction workers needed by 2030 — unless it better understands what motivates new entrants, according to a report out today.
(P&GJ) — The changes occurring in the pipeline industry call for more effective learning cycles, critical thinking, faster application of new knowledge, and the regeneration and evolution of competence within its workforce.
(P&GJ) – One of the key and often overlooked facets of the pipeline industry is trucking: transporting raw materials to mills for pipe manufacturing, moving finished pipe to pipe yards—either directly or after initial transit by rail or barge—and transporting the pipe from the yard to the right-of-way.
Success in the pipeline industry is predicated on a blend of safety, engineering excellence and innovation. These critical success factors rest in the hands of the workforce and depend on decisions made and actions taken.
(P&GJ) — The level of work to replace cast iron and bare steel pipe has decreased in volume since 2009, when it was introduced. However, the Gas Distribution Integrity Management Program (DIMP) still requires a significant amount of construction work.
This spring, Lynn Helms, who has been North Dakota’s chief oil and natural gas regulator for nearly three decades, abandoned his usual bullish outlook toward the state’s more than 1 MMbpd of oil and 3 Bcf/d (85 MMcm/d) of gas production while speaking at a monthly webinar he holds for news media.
