My first full-time job - operating a sour gas field in Fox Creek, Alberta in 1992

My son Nicolas just finished his first year of engineering at the University of Alberta. He's following in my footsteps. This summer he landed a job as a field operator, just like I did 30 years ago. I earned an engineering degree in 1991, and got hired by Amoco Canada Petroleum Co. Ltd. as a site engineer for the Kaybob plant in Fox Creek, Alberta. This is where I really ignited my passion for the outdoors (but that's another story). Amoco had a policy of making young engineers operate before letting us design anything. This simple policy became the great foundation for a fulfilling career in the energy industry. This is vintage footage recorded by me in 1992. Even back then I was into documenting my life. I did this short video to show my parents back in Ontario what my job was like. The operating practices have changed quite a bit since then. In the coming months I hope to visit my son at his work and document modern practices.
