BIOGRAPHY:
Frank has over 35 years of experience across a broad spectrum of the energy industry. His oil and gas experience includes exploration, production, and marketing where he was previously employed by Amoco Canada, Drillwest Energy, and Chauvco Resources, prior to starting his own company. He is currently involved in the many new opportunities that have evolved from the restructuring of the natural gas industry, the growing importance of the oilsands, and the rapidly emerging unconventional natural gas sector. He is also actively monitoring issues affecting the restructuring of Alberta’s electric power industry and those of other Canadian provinces, as well as electric power restructuring issues in the United States and internationally.
TESTIMONIALS:
"I benefited from this course in that it gave me a better understanding of everything that is involved within the oil and gas industry. I learned what oil is comprised of, how drilling rigs operate, the different uses for oil, gas pricing, how pipelines operate, and many other topics covered in the course. It was a great course and I am glad I signed up for it!"

"I would recommend Oilpatch 101 for anyone entering the oil and gas industry or those who are changing roles and would benefit from a broad understanding of how each sector is linked. The material was easy to follow and our facilitator, Frank, was extremely knowledgeable and able to offer insight into virtually any topic area. The two-day course covers everything from the discovery of oil to extraction technologies to the impact of future environmental requirements."

"The Oilpatch 101 class was an excellent introduction to the oil and gas industry. Fairly new to the industry, I found the two-day class exceptionally educational in more areas than I imagined it would (i.e., history, science, math). Frank was a fountain of knowledge and I could have listened to him for an additional two days. You can tell he is very passionate about his topics and is just a brilliant man! After day two, I left with good background knowledge to assist me at my work with Baker Petrolite."
