Resources For Youth

Many baby boomers will be retiring in the next decade, and the industry will need the energy of young people to fill jobs.  As you make your career decisions, think about working with us. Here's why:

• Safety comes first!  In every operation, oilpatch workers follow strict safety procedures to protect themselves and the public.
• Oil and the environment do mix!  Protecting the air, land and water is not only regulated for companies, it makes good business sense - so we do it.
• Innovation and technology drive our activities. New ideas and technologies help us protect people and the environment - and work more efficiently.
• You have options and opportunities. Whether you want to work outdoors or inside, wear safety boots or a suit, stay home or travel, we have a career to fit you!
