Why attend the 2018 Petroleum and Natural Gas (PNG) CE/T Symposium?
Consider the need for higher education, training and competency standards in PNG:
- Lack of quality training is the #1 cause for non-productive time (NPT) - billions of dollars of loss per year. Service companies must comply with a mandatory requirement for SEMS (30CFR, 250); API Spec Q1, and API Spec Q2, among others.
- Lack of quality training is the #2 cause for all incident investigations for upstream services.
- Lack of quality training is the #1 concern as the industry recovers. 2014 to Present - industry has experienced a 300,000 reduction in its workforce.
- Improving training ranks among the top two opportunities for improving efficiencies and reducing costs.
- Training is mandated by operators internationally.

These research-based preferences suggest training materials and presentations should be designed appropriately for the learner. Unfortunately, this is often not the case. This presentation will address the research which was conducted with workers in the oil and gas industry. It will also present examples from the oil and gas industry of recommended training content designed for operators and engineers. Outline:
