Abstract

Emerging technologies often bring new opportunities to enhance productivity and safety in the oil and gas industry. New technologies and opportunities often come with the challenges of workforce development to provide entry-level and current professionals with the necessary training and skillset. This paper presents a vertical education enhancement (VEE) model approach to providing emerging skillset needs in the oil and gas industry with emphases on curriculum continuous improvement and lifelong learning. The top new and emerging technologies that are critical to the future of the oil and gas industry in enhancing productivity and safety include Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence, big data analytics, cloud computing, and 3D modeling/visualization. As part of the solution to train the oil and gas industry workforce to meet the challenges of adopting these technologies, the VEE model features a vertical education structure that encompasses outreach to K-12 education, recruitment, tertiary education, professional training, and lifelong learning. It has an interwoven fundamental structure consisting of curriculum and mentorship, partnerships with stakeholders (industry, government, and community), and research and funding. The VEE model has periodic assessment continuous improvement processes for identifying emerging technologies and new skillset needed to improve the workforce. These processes are like those practiced by accreditation bodies such Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET), United Kingdom Accreditation Services (UKAS), and Offshore Petroleum Industry Training Organization (OPITO). Diversity to increase the participation of underrepresented minority groups and women in engineering would further increase the workforce. The novelty that the VEE model approach brings is the effectiveness in providing skillset training in new and emerging technologies for the oil and gas industry at all levels of workforce development. These include content infusion in existing courses, special-topic and specialized courses at senior and graduate levels, and professional development education and training through lifelong learning platforms.

满足油气行业新兴技能需求的垂直教育强化方法
新兴技术经常为提高油气行业的生产率和安全性带来新的机遇。新技术和机遇往往伴随着劳动力发展的挑战,为入门级和现有专业人员提供必要的培训和技能。本文提出了一种垂直教育增强(VEE)模型方法,以满足油气行业对新兴技能的需求,重点是课程的持续改进和终身学习。物联网(IoT)、人工智能、大数据分析、云计算和3D建模/可视化等新兴技术对未来油气行业提高生产力和安全性至关重要。作为培训油气行业劳动力以应对采用这些技术挑战的解决方案的一部分,VEE模式具有垂直教育结构,包括K-12教育、招聘、高等教育、专业培训和终身学习。它有一个相互交织的基本结构,包括课程和指导,与利益相关者(行业、政府和社区)的伙伴关系,以及研究和资助。VEE模型具有定期评估和持续改进过程,用于识别新兴技术和改进劳动力所需的新技能。这些过程类似于工程和技术认证委员会(ABET)、英国认证服务(UKAS)和海上石油工业培训组织(OPITO)等认证机构所实施的过程。增加未被充分代表的少数群体和女性在工程领域的参与的多样性将进一步增加劳动力。VEE模型方法的新颖之处在于,它可以有效地为油气行业各个层面的劳动力发展提供新兴技术的技能培训。包括在现有课程中注入内容,在高年级和研究生阶段开设专题和专业课程,以及通过终身学习平台进行职业发展教育和培训。
