Cleaning up the paper trail

By Joei Warm On May 1, 2013 · Leave a Comment

In a constantly changing industry, everyone needs to keep up and that includes the safety association for Canada’s upstream oil and gas industry Enform. New leadership is showing its colours in the form of streamlined processes, new resources and a much stronger focus on customers.

Part two of a series started in our [...]

Another path to gas

By Bruce Lantz On May 1, 2013 · Leave a Comment

The search for that ‘better mousetrap’ is never ending and that holds true for the petroleum sector as well. Wet gas is the current industry mousetrap and it may be a saving grace for gas producers beset by low commodity prices.

 The winds of change are common in the resource sectors, and they’re again [...]

Shaping an industry…and adapting to change

By Bruce Lantz On May 1, 2013 · Leave a Comment

Whether someone has been around the petroleum industry as long as Vic Brandl, or is a relative newcomer such as Kelly O’Shea, there are things to be learned and things to be grateful for. For good and bad, the industry leaves its mark on individuals, their families and on their communities.

When your [...]

No backseat here

By Joei Warm On May 1, 2013 · Leave a Comment

The North may be one of the world’s last frontiers but that doesn’t mean we have to settle for second best. Make no mistake; our companies are numbered among the best in the world.

It’s no small feat to keep a business afloat for 35 years but March 17 marked the 35th anniversary for Driving [...]

Spatsizi Lodge is one in a million. Well, truth be told, it’s one in 1.2 million – acres that is. It’s the only lodge in an area three times the size of Yellowstone Park and it’s a world class destination right here at home. And from the end of June to the end of August, [...]

Image is everything

By Joei Warm On May 1, 2013 · Leave a Comment

Thoughts from the editor May 2013

In an industry that has never had a great image outside of the immediate participants, this last year has left the tatters tarred and feathered.

The problem is, industry attempts at image boosting all come off as damage control. The truth doesn’t matter as much as the lens [...]

Harder: Tune up your communications

By Contributor On April 1, 2013 · Leave a Comment

Editor:

Further to your article Pipeline Positive in NWB March 2013

I’m in neither camp with regard to Northern Gateway et al but, based on their public relations campaigns thus far, my first inclination is to be opposed. Not because I am inherently in opposition to such ventures, but no one has been [...]

Building environmental sentences

By Joei Warm On April 1, 2013 · Leave a Comment

Thoughts from the editor April 2013

Sustainable has to be one of the biggest words going. It’s not the longest but it’s so significant that it would be hard to find a single home, office or worksite that wasn’t, in some fashion, affected by it.

There are lots of definitions out there. Merriam-Webster [...]

It’s all about the jobs

By Joei Warm On March 31, 2013 · Leave a Comment

Whether you are looking for contracts or for the first time, employment, the Peace Region Petroleum Show is the place to be.

The show is touted as being the third largest in Canada and this year will see a new component that organizers think is just the ticket for a beleaguered industry. A job [...]

Water or gas?

By Joei Warm On March 31, 2013 · Leave a Comment

On the face of it, water would seem the more sustainable choice but some Peace Region folk are trying to make the case that a facility like the Shepard Energy Centre is a better option than Site C – and they’ve gone a long way toward doing that.

When you think environmentalists, you [...]
