The Crude Oil Logistics Committee Established in 1993

Awareness and Training Working Group


The COLC was asked by the Wellhead to Dollars Forecasting Working Group to look into improvement opportunities around crude oil forecasting. A new team is being launched to focus on building awareness and training and is looking for participants.

As part of the work completed by the Wellhead to Dollars Forecasting Working Group – Assessment phase, the following issues were identified.

  • Lack of awareness of the overall forecasting process and stakeholders.
  • Lack of standardized forecasting practices, procedures and documentation.
  • Significant demographics and knowledge transfer issues with associated risk for companies.
  • Lack of effective training due to time and resource constraints.

The objective of the new Awareness & Training Working Group is to work collaboratively to promote awareness, stakeholder engagement and effective communication. The team will develop the programs and utilize the COLC's existing technology and infrastructure to support forecasting training.

The estimated time commitment is 4 hours per month. This includes 2 team meetings per month (starting in January) and some additional time between meetings, as required.
