For the past several years, records and information management
professionals in the oil and gas industry have wrestled with a significant
issue: How to capture legacy subsurface and pipeline records and transfer
that data to the right personnel and repositories prior to the mass
departure of a generation of engineers. The precarious loss of expertise
associated with the retirement of the elders of the tribe is no longer just
a threat: It is happening. Couple the typical knowledge loss that
accompanies an employee’s departure with diminishing interest from younger
generations to enter the oil and gas field at all, despite strong
compensation packages — the knowledge management crisis is at hand.

"The problems of our economy have occurred not as an outgrowth of
laissez-faire, unbridled competition.
They have occurred under the guidance of federal agencies, and under the
umbrella of federal regulations."
Senator Ted Kennedy, in defending trucking deregulation in 1978.
