Abstract: With the downsizing of many energy companies in the 1990s, the impending retirement of many of the energy industrys expertise, the rapid advancement of technologies, and increased world demand for energy, the development of technical talent within the energy industry has become paramount. Nowhere is the need to develop talent more apparent than in the area of hydrocarbon custody measurement. Given the quantities involved, inaccurate measurements of hydrocarbon transfers between suppliers and customers, and owners and transporters pose a relatively high financial risk to all affected parties. Addressing this need is substantially more complex than in many disciplines, as many of the skills required for success must be acquired in the work place rather than in a university or technical school. This paper discusses a process for creating a development program for hydrocarbon measurement staff, a possible program structure and its application. It provides examples of skills that may be required by measurement staff, competencies for a number of these skills and information on the types of activities which may be undertaken to acquire the required competencies.
