The oil and gas industry is at a critical juncture, where innovation and skilled talent are more important than ever. At EZ Ops, we recognize the need to not only stay ahead of industry trends but also actively contribute to the growth and development of the next generation of field operators. That’s why we’re excited to announce our collaboration with Northern Lights College in Fort St. John, BC, on their new Field Operations Specialist — Hydrocarbon Resources (FOSHR) training program.
Bridging the Skills Gap in the Oil and Gas Industry
Northern Lights College has long been a leader in providing education that aligns with industry needs, and the FOSHR program is no exception. As the oil and gas sector continues to evolve with new technologies and methods, the need for specialized training programs has never been greater. The FOSHR program is designed to meet this demand head-on, offering a comprehensive 15-week course that combines both theoretical knowledge and hands-on experience at a working oil and gas facility.
The program is set to launch its pilot phase this September, starting with operators from Tourmaline Oil, one of our biggest clients. This pilot will pave the way for the program to open to additional participants in Spring 2025, ensuring that more individuals can gain the skills necessary to excel in the industry.
The Role of EZ Ops Technology in FOSHR
At the heart of the FOSHR program is a commitment to equipping future field operators with the tools they need to succeed in an increasingly data-driven environment. That’s where EZ Ops comes in. Our technology is being integrated into the data acquisition and production accounting module of the program, providing students with hands-on experience in field data logging, priority management, and compliance management.
These modules are more than just technical components—they represent the future of how field operations are managed. By learning to use EZ Ops technology, students will gain valuable insights into how to prioritize tasks efficiently, manage compliance with industry regulations, and make data-driven decisions that enhance operational safety and effectiveness.
Looking Ahead
We’re proud to be part of this initiative and eager to see the impact of our technology on future industry leaders. As the program grows, we’ll continue supporting Northern Lights College and the students who will shape the future of oil and gas operations. At EZ Ops, we believe in education and innovation to drive the industry forward, and our collaboration with Northern Lights College reflects that commitment.
