Outlook by Sector• Oil Sands shift from period of significant expansion to phase focused on operational
efficiency and reliability.– Laid off significant amount of workers for the first time since 2003
• LNG Sector remains potential bright spot for the industry.– To be successful, Canada’s emerging LNG sector will need to be competitive in an
established global market. • Oil and Gas Services Sector has been hardest hit by the decline in oil prices.
– Lack of work combined with renegotiate price on the work that does exist – seems that there is little let to cut and E&P sector will have to look elsewhere for cost-savings
• E&P has not held onto workers during this downturn as they have done in the past.– Swift and widespread cost and job cuts in 2015 and more is expected.– Companies high-grading assets; selling non-core assets and cutting capital further –
jobs going with the assets and capital cuts• Pipelines have restructured and laid off employees as major infrastructure projects, and
therefore market diversification, remain elusive.

• 36 companies representing 63,000 to 83,000 responded to the survey
• Companies represented were from different oil and gas and related sectors across Canada

Outlook for 2016 – 2020
• 2016 – Expected to be more of the same as 2015– More focus on productivity and profitability improvements through cost-cutting,
process improvements and organizational efficiencies.
• 2017 - 2020
– Relatively small number of jobs created in oil sands as late stage projects near completion.
– Age-related attrition likely to increase hiring requirements.• Loss of experienced workers may also have a negative impact on productivity.
– Attracting workers into the industry while containing costs may be challenging.– LNG a potential industry bright spot but not a certainty.

Oil Sands Labour Demand Outlook to 2020
• Oil sands sector employs significant number of construction, operations and maintenance workers from across Canada.
• Sector has been hardly hit by decline in oil prices since November 2014.
• Oil Sands companies have cancelled projects, reduced their workforce and shifted focus to cutting costs and finding operational efficiencies.
![Page 13: Feb 3, 2016 calgary economic development presentation](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081604/58a250851a28abe8738b5ab1/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Transition into Maintenance Phase
13
• Oil Sands sector is moving from a growth and expansion phase into a phase focused on improving the reliability and performance of existing operations.
• Significant number of workers will be required, though at a lower rate than previously projected, as companies continue to place priority on maintaining operations efficiencies while reducing costs.
• Cost management is a critical factor for companies in deciding a maintenance workforce strategy.
• The need to maintain existing operations will drive ongoing and turnaround maintenance employment demand.

LNG Labour Demand Outlook to 2020• Development of LNG will require a significant construction labour force.
• LNG export sector will have the greatest long-term impact on BC’s upstream and midstream employment.
• Hiring for LNG likely to begin in advance of operations to ensure staff are properly trained and available for start-up activities.
• LNG sector will increase the demand for skilled trades involved in ongoing and turnaround maintenance.
• Considerable occupational similarities across LNG value chain: construction, maintenance and operations.
![Page 16: Feb 3, 2016 calgary economic development presentation](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081604/58a250851a28abe8738b5ab1/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Transferability of OccupationsThere are many occupational similarities across the LNG-related value chain. Investment in occupations that support short-term development of the sector as well as longer-term sustainability will likely produce greatest returns.

Preparing for “Lower for Longer”• Low prices to last longer than previous downward cycles
• Potential challenges of attracting workers into the industry after economy picks up.
• Loss of skills and expertise through retirements.
• Companies need strategies beyond short-term cost cutting tactics to endure the “lower price for longer” environment and to maintain a competitive advantage when prices recover.
• Inability to implement and invest in strategies and actions that improve efficiency and productivity will negatively impact profitability.
• Talent management and acquisition strategies will need to align with overall business model of cost management

Continuum of Strategic Response to a Prolonged Economic Downturn
19
Economic Conditions
Low and/or declining commodity prices in a high-cost environment.
Continued low prices with some improvement in cost environment.
Profitability improves but long-term cost containment is required to maintain competitive advantage.
Company Actions and Impact
Cost reduction and preservation of cash is priority, resulting in:
• Deferral, delay and cancelation of projects
• Selling of non-core assets; unused equipment and materials
• Cancelation or renegotiation of service and supplier contracts
• Rollback of all discretionary spending
Implementation of low cost-high value improvements to reset cost structure such as:
• Consolidation of job functions and roles
• Streamline processes to accelerate efficiencies
• Data analysis to improve evidence-based decision-making and identify opportunities to drive efficiencies
Investment in more expensive innovation/technology to drive cost reducing efficiencies and address key technical and business challenges. Innovation and technology likely to focus on:
Increasing the automation of some operations functions
Gathering of data to support decision-making across job functions.

Impact on Workforce
• Contractor layoffs• Employee layoffs• Wage freezes and cuts• Reduction of benefits,
bonuses and other “perks” • Increase use of job
sharing, unpaid leaves etc. to preserve jobs
• Fewer workers required to do same work
• Valued characteristics:- Adaptability- Technology savvy- Business acumen; understand
cost implications associated with actions
• Demand for predictive and preventative maintenance workers
• Selected hiring for key positions
• Fewer of some types of workers may be required
• Shift in requirements drive training and development
• More tech-savy and highly skilled and knowledgeable workers needed
• May drive increased use of contracted expertise until company builds own capacity
