Energy Navigator Offers Free Val Nav Software for Unemployed Oil and Gas Professionals Looking to Boost Their Skills

CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - Jan. 19, 2016) - Calgary-based oil and gas software maker Energy Navigator announced today that it is offering free Value Navigator software and training for oil and gas industry professionals who are unemployed due to the current downturn. Free access to the industry-leading software provides out-of-work oil and gas professionals the ability to improve their production forecasting, economic analysis and reserves management skills as they search for work.

"When you talk to people affected by this difficult downturn, the natural reaction is to wonder how you can help", says Boyd Russell, president of Energy Navigator. "One way we decided we could directly help those in our industry currently out of work is by offering them a chance to brush up on the skills they'll need to land their next job. Val Nav includes a large number of engineering and reserves workflows. Quite often, people working in our industry tend to specialize in a certain area. Even if someone has used Val Nav before, they may only have used it for one or two workflows. This free license and access to training will allow people to enhance existing skills, but also to expand their skillset in order to help them become eligible for a broader range of job opportunities."

Those looking to take advantage of this offer can visit www.energynavigator.com/encares to sign up. They will be contacted by an Energy Navigator representative who will set them up with a full-featured temporary license of the latest version of Value Navigator and a demo database to work from. Those looking for training can sign up for any of the free in-person or online courses listed at www.energynavigator.com/training. A certificate of completion will be provided to those who complete all three available introductory and fundamentals courses.

In addition, the company invites individuals across the industry to inquire about advanced, on-demand courses including: Capital & Budget, Custom Reports and Graphs, Use of Value Navigator for Reserves Management, and Creation & Use of Price Decks in Value Navigator.
