Education and Training for the Oil and Gas Industry: Building A Technically Competent Workforce

By: Phil Andrews,Jim Playfoot

Volume 2 of the Getenergy Guides series explores the challenges of developing a technically competent workforce for the oil and gas sector globally. The cases in this Volume explore practical examples of the efforts of oil and gas companies, contractors, educational institutions and governments to develop competent, vocationally-trained employees for the industry. Education and training are increasingly viewed as part of the core business of oil and gas companies operating in today's high cost/high risk environment. This book will highlight the approaches which work and offer a framework against which future initiatives can be measured. This second book in the Getenergy Guides series explores nine cases studies from around the world and offers commentary on each case drawn from Getenergy's wealth of experience in uniting education and training providers and the upstream oil and gas industry on a global basis. - Edited by Getenergy's Executive Team which – for more than a decade – has specialised in mapping and connecting the world of education and training with the upstream oil and gas industry through global events and workshops - Detailed research into the key facts surrounding each case with analysis to enable readers to quickly and effectively extract lessons that can be applied to the challenge of building a technically competent workforce - Highlights the aspects of good practice that can be utilised by universities, colleges and training providers in meeting the workforce and skills development needs of the oil and gas industry - Includes full colour images and partnership diagrams' to underscore key concepts - Offers specific commentary on the replicability, sustainability and impact of the approaches outlined

Education and Training for the Oil and Gas Industry: The Evolution of Four Energy Nations

Mexico, Nigeria, Brazil, and Iraq

By: Phil Andrews,Jim Playfoot,Simon Augustus

The third book in the Getenergy Guides series, The Evolution of Four Energy Nations considers how four very different countries have evolved as oil and gas-producing nations and how the interventions of government, industry and the education and training sector have addressed workforce and skills development challenges in each of these countries. This volume will explore – in each case – the historical growth of the industry, the dynamics of the industry today and the projected direction of travel for the industry in the future. Within this context, the volume will examine the nature of the skills and workforce demands that each country has experienced and will analyze the influence of policy initiatives (including those related to the establishment and running of national oil companies), the impact of industry activities, and the role of education and training providers. Each of these four extended case studies will reveal what we can learn from past and recent experiences. The case studies will also explore the extent to which the effectiveness of approaches to skills and workforce development within the oil and gas industry are contextual and what commonalities there are in terms of success factors. The Guide will conclude with a set of observations regarding best (and worst) practices that can inform future interventions in hydrocarbon-producing nations across the world. - Multi-authored by Getenergy's principal collaborators who collectively have more than 100 years of experience in the oil and gas industry - Includes full-color images to underscore key concepts - Focuses on knowledge transfer from experienced oil/gas professionals to national staff - Utilizes specific case studies from Mexico, Nigeria, Brazil, and Iraq to illustrate various approaches to evolution as an oil and gas-producting nation

Education and Training for the Oil and Gas Industry

Localising Oil and Gas Operations

By: Phil Andrews,Jim Playfoot,Simon Augustus

Education and Training for the Oil and Gas Industry: Localising Oil and Gas Operations, Volume Four in the Getenergy series will set out the case for localising the oil and gas operations within hydrocarbon-producing countries. The focus of this final Volume in the series will be to explore the value of engaging with local suppliers, local talent and other local stakeholders in the exploration and production of oil and gas resources. Specifically, we will set out an agenda around which operators and service companies can coalesce and that highlights the ways in which smart, targeted investments in education, training and local infrastructure can create a new way of doing business, particularly in developing or emerging energy economies. Getenergy Intelligence have developed a unique tool to evaluate the potential cost benefits of localisation for any given project. This volume lays out the rationale, methodology and processes we have developed to successfully map out localisation and implement strategic capacity development for oil and gas operations. The significant cost benefits of localisation have been recognised by a number of major oil and gas companies, but localisation is still an aspect of doing business that is poorly understood by much of the global industry. In the first section of this book, the authors provide the rationale for localisation and layout the core reasons for developing the tool. In the second section, the tool is described and the exact methodology is explained. In the final section the authors provide three case studies, demonstrating the tool in action and showing how we are able to measure the cost effectiveness and wider value of a coherent approach to localisation. - Three detailed case studies exploring the benefits of localising the oil and gas workforce - A rigorous economic rationale for localisation of oil and gas projects. Explores how localisation (and investment in local education, training and talent within that) is at the core of a successful oil and gas business in the 21st century - Methods of implementing a strategy to educate and train local people in order to meet the core business needs around individual oil and gas projects

Parlour Four

By: J.I.M. Stewart

A boy is kind with unexpected consequences. A lover gives a ring to his girl, but doesn’t appreciate its history and value. In Oxford, the Bodleian is mysteriously empty, whilst a don becomes a bestselling author. In another tale, a cruel ending brings the absurdity of death into focus. All of the stories focus on life’s ironies and absurdities.
