Gas Storage Training is El Energy Consulting's way to pass on 50 years of experience to gas storage team members including office base engineers, geologists, and risk specialists along with field-based drilling department and operations. Training serves as a catalyzer for growth in knowledge preparing professionals for the journey through underground gas storage issues difficult to envision. 19 Training Units in four topic areas: Gas Storage Basics, Well Construction, Field Operations, and Field Integrity. El Energy primarily leads training across the internet using some or all 19 Units but also will prepare customized training units in subject areas defined by customers when requested. Online training times are 1-4 hours. Onsite training for all 19 Units encompasses a day.

My strategy is to focus on 1. Purpose, making an impact. 2. Process - excellence on the journey. 3. Growth - growth is essential to achieve or exceed goals. Focus on Growth!

My career passion has been Crude Oil, Natural Gas and Underground Natural Gas Storage. My father, Jack Elenbaas, was a pioneer in underground gas storage beginning in 1947. I am the fourth generation in the Elenbaas family that has worked in energy (coal, crude oil, natural gas, and underground gas storage) since 1907.
