Course: Towards More Sustainable Oil & Gas Sector Projects

2-3 May 2022 at the Vancouver Convention Center

This two-day program will provide a master class for intermediate-level environmental and social impact assessment (ESIA) practitioners who want to learn more about the oil and gas (O&G) sector, conventional and unconventional (shale), offshore and onshore, carbon capture projects, and carbon neutrality considerations in O&G. The training will build on the participants' knowledge of the ESIA process, provide them with a foundation of environmental and social issues specific to O&G projects, and enhance their ability to leverage ESIAs towards more sustainable O&G developments. Goals and learning outcomes include:

  • Review the O&G development cycle and likely impacts and mitigation measures for hydrocarbon development projects.

  • Identify linkages between the O&G development cycle and the ESIA core components –and opportunities for decision making; and

  • Increase participants' level of confidence with ESIA's in the O&G sector through case studies and participant questions.

The training will be a participatory venue with a balanced mix of instructor presentations and discussions to leverage the participants' own broad range of experience, promote dialogue, and share best practices. Group exercises and case studies will be an integral part of the course. Participants should be prepared to exchange experiences, challenges and solutions with peers.
