  • Jobs in Alberta's oilpatch could double over the next decade if commodity prices remain strong, leading to a labour crunch rivalling that of the last boom cycle, according to an industry council.
  • Petroleum Human Resources Council of Canada warns the shortage of skilled workers already being felt across the Canadian oilpatch will deepen, regardless of commodity prices and activity levels in the oil and gas industry.
  • "We are headed toward a severe labour shortage, regardless of future energy prices and industry activity," said chief executive Cheryl Knight.
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • "Our industries will need to be prepared to face a labour shortage more severe than what we experienced in 2007."
  • about 102,300 positions would open in a high-price scenario, up from 57,850 positions in 2009.
  • Alberta ? Low-price scenario: 33,000 net hires- High oil, low natural gas price scenario: 50,800 net hires- High-price scenario: 102,300 net hires- 2009 estimated workforce: 57,850
  • major driver in the forecast is Canada's aging workforce, about 30 per cent of which will retire over the next decade.
  • "Even in the worst scenario, when energy prices and industry activity are low, we will need to hire at least 39,000 workers to replace those who are retiring," Knight said. "If industry expands in a highprice scenario, we will need to find 130,000 workers to fill new positions."
  • The oilpatch already is seeing shortages in skill sets such as geology, engineering and geophysical expertise, as well as on-the-ground field workers.
  • Access to labour and skills determine the unit of production of the petroleum industry."
