Labour Market Outlooks: Overview of Scope and Methodology (cont’d)

Labour supply projections

• Available for industry total and by core occupation

• Take into account two sources of labour supply:

– New entrants

– In-mobility labour supply

• Consider industry’s historical share of Canada’s labour supply and ability to attract workers in the future

Projected labour and skill shortages

• Available for industry total and by core occupation

• Labour shortages exist when projected unemployment rates fall below the “balanced” unemployment rate

– Balanced rate is set at 6 per cent for industry total but differs for each occupation

Oil and Gas Industry Activity – Two Scenarios

9

The Decade Ahead analyzes the labour market outlook for two potential industry activity scenarios based on a range of oil and gas prices, capital and operating expenditure, and oil sands production forecasts.

Low Growth Scenario Expansion Scenario

Market diversification does not occur and growth is driven by North American demand.

• Moderate increases to conventional oil, oil sands and liquids-rich natural gas activity

Market diversification occurs and Canadian producers supply international markets.

• Debottleneck and expansion of oil pipelines• Development of LNG export facilities and

pipelines

www.petrohrsc.ca

Oil and Gas Industry Employment Outlook to 2022

In the Low Growth scenario, the industry adds just under 18,300 jobs, while in the Expansion scenario, the industry adds 38,700 jobs.

For both scenarios, there is no relief in sight as industry unemployment rates fall below a balanced labour market for the duration of the projection period.

Severe shortages experienced in 2007 are expected to return by 2014 when the industry unemployment rate falls to around five percent in either scenario.

Sector Analysis

14

Oil and Gas Services Exploration and

Production (E&P) Pipelines

Employment within the services sector (i.e., drilling and completions, geophysical, and petroleum services) is projected to increase in either scenario.

If market diversification occurs, employment will further increase to meet growing demands for production from oil sands, shale oil and gas and the development of the LNG export sector.

Great opportunities exist around LNG export development, oil sands developments and expanded offshore activities.

However, significant investment from the E&P sector (both conventional E&P activity and oil sands operations) is required as these developments are very expensive and require long lead times.

Several thousand kilometers of new pipelines are required to realize market diversification.

While the construction phase of the pipeline expansion and the required workforce will be significant, increases within the pipeline operations workforce will not be as intensive.

Age-related attrition will be a key concern for the sector.

www.petrohrsc.ca

Oil and Gas Services Sector - Hiring Requirements to 2022

Over 22,000 workers will be needed to replace employees retiring between 2013 and 2022. An additional 25,900 workers will be required to accommodate industry growth in the expansion scenario.

Provincial Analysis

17

British Columbia (BC) Alberta (AB)

Foreign investment and the province’s liquids-rich natural gas plays have kept BC’s oil and gas industry busier than expected, especially considering the lingering low natural gas price environment. However, the province is at a turning point as stakeholders wait to see if the development of an LNG export sector proceeds.

Technology has a significant impact on the province’s oil and gas production potential as it allows companies to undertake new exploration and rework old wells. Alberta’s oil sands are expected to expand at a sustainable rate although growth may be impeded by market and transportation constraints.

Saskatchewan (SK) Rest of Canada (RoC)

Growth is driven by increased activity in the prolific Bakken shale oil formation where technology is reversing the decline in light oil production. Technology is also boosting activity around Lloydminster as thermal technology is being applied to enhance heavy oil production in the area. With the increased use of rail to address pipeline capacity issues, activity is expected to increase over the next couple of years, regardless of scenario.

The majority of current industry activity is for Manitoba’s production from the Bakken shale oil formation, Nova Scotia’s offshore natural gas and Newfoundland and Labrador offshore oil. Technology has increased the potential of industry expansion across Canada, including the development of shale oil and gas deposits and the potential for LNG exports from Canada’s east coast.

Best Practices in Attraction, Retention and Workforce Development

19

Best Practice Recommendations

Improve retention through leadership development with managers and supervisors.

Increase worker loyalty by implementing intensive “boot camps” or other leadership training to help managers leverage mentoring and team-building skills to build stronger working relationships with employees.

Leverage defined career pathways to attract and retain workers.

Promote long-term worker retention by offering prospective workers and employees multiple career advancement pathways with varying options to progress within the company into different occupations or business divisions.

Perform regular reviews to ensure employees are compensated competitively.

Increase worker retention by reviewing and evaluating each worker’s performance to ensure that workers are compensated at an appropriate market level for their level of experience.

Shift away from contract employment.Avoid high operating costs caused by competition in a highly competitive labour market by shifting from contract workers to permanent employees.

Leverage multiple channels for recruiting.

Increase the pool of job applicants by accessing a larger number of channels for recruiting. Include strategies for employee referrals, social media, and local job boards to target workers interested in moving to the area based on family, lifestyle, or life stage reasons.

www.petrohrsc.ca

Best Practices in Attraction, Retention and Workforce Development

20

Best Practice Recommendations

Recruit from under-represented labour supply pools.Leverage diversity partnerships to access under-represented labour supply groups, including targeted recruitment within Aboriginal, youth and immigrant populations.

Leverage company branding.

Recruit using a company branding strategy that emphasizes the company culture, leadership, strategy, stability, safety record, and financial performance or other differentiating factors that are key selling points to attract top staff.

Maintain competitive benefits.

Compare benefits versus competitor’s offerings including a review of perks such as vehicle allowances for managers, housing stipends, paid flights, accommodations for fly-in/fly-out workers, pay adjustments for higher tax rates and long-term incentives.

Explore business partnerships with Aboriginal groups.Industry and Aboriginal groups may benefit from business partnership opportunities such as co-owned drilling rigs and provision of camp services.

Demand-driven Workforce Solutions

21

Given the global competitiveness for skilled workers, industry must continue working with government, education and training institutions and other labour supply stakeholders to increase the talent pool for the oil and gas industry.
