Dear Friends and Partners,

Fantastic news last week about Fort Saskatchewan's $5.7B up-grader approval. Work is slated to start as early as spring 2013 and requires 3000 full time jobs for three years - and there will be a job spin off creating an additional 3000+ support/industry jobs.

 I remember these same headlines in 2003 starting to creep in. I think the growth spurt this time will be more manageable than the sharp increase and decline we had last time around. So, position yourself well, we've got a lot of green-lights lining up ahead.

Communities Around New Upgrader Project looking Forward To Economic Impact

By Julia Parish, CTV News Canada, November 8th 2012

On Thursday, Sturgeon County officials said a major upgrader project, with significant economic spinoffs, has been confirmed – and construction is set to start in early 2013.

Officials said the joint project called the North West Redwater Partnership Sturgeon Refinery Project (NWR) was announced by partners North West Upgrading Inc. and Canadian Natural Upgrading Limited.

Once it’s finished, the project will be billed as the world’s first clean bitumen upgrader, and the first one to be built in the province in decades.

“This is the first upgrader that’s been done in Alberta in the last nearly thirty years,” Energy Minister Ken Hughes said. “This is a very important step forward.”

In a release, Sturgeon County Mayor Donald Rigney said the project was the result of ten years of work with the team behind the project.   GRAB THIS STORY

Energy Sector Grapples With Acute Labour Shortage

By Yadullah Hussain, Financial Post, October 29th 2012
Any legitimate job offering $80,000-plus as a starting salary should be an easy sell to students in these troubled economic times, right? Wrong.

“Even in Alberta there is a poor connection in the K-12 education system to find balanced information about the oil and gas industry,” says Cheryl Knight, executive director and chief executive of the Petroleum HR Council of Canada. “The environmental messaging is much more attractive and probably easier to make interesting for students everywhere. It is a key problem that our industry faces, even just outside my door.”

The Calgary-based organization, partly funded by the Government of Canada’s Sector Council Program and supported by prominent bodies such as the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers, says this is just one of a number of challenges facing the energy industry.   FOLLOW THIS ARTICLE
