Actually in O&G in Alberta if your an engineer, geologist, finance/accounting (with some sort of designation), $90k by age 30 is below market.

EDIT: This is why I always laugh in the face of anyone who argues the 'Upgrade/refine all of our Bitumen here in Alberta' viewpoint. The high cost of labor really makes it tough to compete. Alberta incomes are high because the resource is here and it seriously makes it tough to compete on any value-added business that doesn't have to be done in Alberta.
