This milestone is a reflection of years (2006 start) of dedication, resilience, and hands-on experience in Canada’s energy sector. Over the most recent several years, I’ve had the privilege to contribute to some dynamic projects, including: 🔹 Assistant Shift Engineer – Keyera Simonette Gas Plant Operating in a high-capacity midstream facility (450 MMcf/d sour gas & 27,000 bbl/d condensate), with responsibility for cryogenic and sour gas processing, amine & dehydration units, fractionation, compressors, and SCADA/DCS monitoring. Supporting safe operations, hazard mitigation, and contractor onboarding while optimizing plant performance. 🔹 Process Foreman – Sancon Commissioning (Pembina Brownfield Upgrade) Leading commissioning and startup activities, mechanical isolations, permit-to-work processes, lockout/tagout procedures, and SOP development. Ensuring safe turnover of systems and alignment with client standards during critical project phases. 🔹 Contract Operator – S2F Global Resources Supporting Strathcona’s HIP VAP R&D pilot for SAGD steam generation using produced water (GHG reduction & water treatment innovation). Additionally, operating AltaGas’ Townsend deepcut, shallow cut, and mercaptan plant (550 MMscf/d) with responsibility for isolations, inspections, and emergency readiness. These experiences have deepened my industry service commitments and further shaped me into a safety-first, technically versatile operator who thrives on collaboration, problem-solving, and continual learning. Looking ahead, I am already actively pursuing my 2nd Class certification with study materials in hand and initial program underway in the Power Engineering 101 modules. This certification is not the finish line; it’s a steppingstone toward continued professional growth and contribution to Western Canada's power and natural gas industry.

Hi Everyone, We’ve just completed a detailed analysis of the updated 2A1 SOPEEC exam breakdown, and here’s what you need to know: Exam Section Weighting • ASME Code: Calculations – 8 Questions • ASME Code: Sections I & VIII Overview – 8 Questions • Industrial Administration – 36 Questions • Applied Mechanics – 64 Questions spread across the following: • Kinematics (8) • Dynamics & Energy (8) • Friction & Torque (8) • Stress & Strain (8) • Torsion & Fluid Pressure (8) • Fluid Flow (8) Key Insights 1. Administration is King: With 36 questions, this section demands your attention. Focus on legislation, plant design, and management principles. 2. Mechanics Mastery Needed: Over half the exam involves mechanics, so gear up for calculations and diagrams across stress, fluid dynamics, and motion. 3. ASME Precision: Sharpen your knowledge of design calculations and code requirements for a smooth performance in the 16 ASME-related questions. How to Prepare • Practice Exams: Simulate the exam and identify your strengths and weaknesses. • Tutorial Course: Use our chapter-specific guides aligned with this breakdown to maximize your study efficiency. Let us know your thoughts or questions in the comments! We’re here to support your success!

Wrote in Calgary yesterday morning and had my pass letter emailed by the time I reached Wetaskiwin. Many thanks to Normand and the Team for the help! This is the second time I’ve signed up with you folks…first time I flunked and you honoured the money back guarantee so I felt it only right I try again. This second time went the right way and I couldn’t be more happy (well maybe more relieved than happy but whose keeping track 😂). One more pile of fuel for the boiler! Cheers all 🥃
