New leader takes Enform’s helm WellTraxx: CARRIE KELLY
With more than 30 years experience in the oil and gas industry, his new role as Enform’s president and CEO seems to be a perfect fit for Cameron MacGillivray.
“In making the move to Enform, I am excited about a job that reflects my value stream – making sure people are going home safe at night,” he says. “Enform plays a key role in contributing to that objective.”
MacGillivray has a Masters in Engineering and spent more than 20 years with EnCana, culminating his time there as senior vice president with the international exploration division, followed by a period as president and CEO of Endev Energy.
2013 is slated to be a busy year for Enform, which offers close to 100 safety and technical related courses and has five decades of safety training experience.
“Training workers with the skills to do their jobs better is helping them to do it safely,” MacGillivray explains.
This year, Enform is launching the electronic General Safety Orientation (eGSO), a free, online orientation for new workers in the industry. Petroleum Safety Training (PST) 2.0 is an introductory course for all employees working in the petroleum industry. Enform is nearing completion of PST 2.0, an updated version of 1.25, featuring improved video and graphics and a shorter running time at about four hours. The course can be completed at any time, from any computer with an Internet connection, eliminating the need to travel to a training site. For workers without online access, computer lab providers are available.
Enform’s 2013 Petroleum Safety Conference will take place this spring, from May 6-10. The conference brings together influential industry leaders and delegates to exchange knowledge, expertise and success stories about health and safety issues related to their specific workplace challenges. This year’s theme is Owning Safety.

“Safety belongs to everyone -— it is a part of every day and every task, and everyone has an important role to play within their company's health and safety management system,” says MacGillivray.
Everything Enform organizes and delivers is done with the needs of the industry in mind.
“Enform is here to help our customer — the industry,” he says. “In setting a more focused direction, we are intent on delivering products and services that make a difference, moving the industry through continuous improvement on safety performance. Advocating for the continuous improvement of safety is a lofty goal that requires working collaboratively with all levels of industry, from our partner associations, students and instructors, to the general public and governmental offices.”
Last year Enform delivered training and issued 220,000 certificates to oil and gas workers across the three Western provinces.

Forgetting to mail in a single letter can be a real son of a gun, especially when it can cost a landowner thousands of dollars in revenue. WellTraxx, a Medicine Hat based upstart, aims to ensure leaseholders get paid exactly whet they deserve.
A pair of local men, both former land agents for “big oil,” have spent the last four years developing and launching web-based service WellTraxx, which has garnered a lot of attention. Casey Ziegler and Kris Bower are the drive behind the train, which is gaining momentum.
“We are both licensed land agents and were working in the industry,” says Ziegler. “We were the guys out there in the fields acquiring wells from landowners — facilitators for the oil companies. Through that process we met a lot of landowners who were struggling because we were leaving stacks of paperwork behind — big boxes sometimes — and couldn’t manage it all.”
Ziegler says the two realized there was a “grey area” which existed and could fill easily.
“Our new game is asset management,” says Ziegler. “The problem is most landowners are too busy doing what they do — farming, ranching or
