“Virtual Reality can help bridge the gap in replicating the extensive knowledge of our experienced workers with the teaching techniques that favor the abilities of a new generation entering the industry. The ability to simulate varying operational, maintenance, and repair scenarios will equip the new generation of workers with scenarios that will assist in minimizing air emissions as a result of a “learn-by-doing” development program.”
Robert St. John
Environmental Air Permit Manager
“Training is most effective when you engage the operator in real life scenarios. Virtual Reality achieves the ability of creating that “real life scenario” form of training and is an extremely quick and effective way to evaluate the 3 essential elements of training – Knowledge, Skill and Ability .”

Director of Asset Integrity Management at EnLink Midstream - GPA Pipeline technical committee group lead
“I have known Sean Atkins for 20 years as a friend, client, and now as the CEO of The Novellus Group. I have not met a more honest and hardworking individual in my 30 plus years in the EHS and EPC fields and could not think of a more qualified professional to take the latest technologies available, and solve the personnel development challenges that we have all struggled with for years. I look forward to seeing what the future holds for Sean and The Novellus Group!”
Kenneth Darbonne
Vice President Business Development - CDI Engineering Solutions
“Having worked with Sean on numerous EHS initiatives, I greatly value his insight and approach to training. He looks at training not from a “have to” perspective, but rather a true opportunity to improve operations, increase productivity and efficiency, all while improving the safety and job satisfaction of those he leads. This provides cost effective results that organizations can see as truly critical…a real “win-win” for all involved!”
David Kley
