G. Richard Jardine

I have both commercial and technical experience with various onshore and offshore petrochemical industries and facilities operating in Trinidad and Tobago, as well as the marine environment and with vessels. I am familiar with offshore and onshore exploration and appraisal drilling activities and operations due to my experience as a Logger III / Data Engineer with International Logging S.A. I have worked on a number of East and West Coast well programmes for local and international oil and gas clients ranging from EOG Resources Trinidad Ltd., bhp Billiton, Venture Production Trinidad Ltd. and BG Trinidad & Tobago. Additionally, I am a NACE certified coating inspector #9604 and corrosion technician #15507.

During the last ten (10) to twelve (12) years my work has included providing project management maintenance solutions for the marine industry, petrochemical & processing industry and for both onshore & offshore facilities with the use of traditional barrier coatings and specialty coatings (ceramic polymers) for processing equipment such as separators, condensers, pumps & compressors and tube bundles. This work also included client management from preparing tenders, costing services to managing the commercial and risk aspects of the contracts. My duties also so included estimating and scheduling resources to achieve project objectives (time, resources and quality). Provide logistical, operational and human resources support and ensuring the teams has necessary resources to perform tasks to required time and quality standards. I have also setup a full time department for the specialist service of Belzona repairs twenty four (24) hours, seven (7) days a week. Additionally, I have worked for Industrial Marine Services, one of the major haul out and dry docking facilities in Chaguaramas and have provided in-house service and coating systems for a variety of vessels ranging from pleasure yachts; power & sail, commercial vessels; fishing, in addition to offshore utility & commercial barges and commercial tugs. During this time I have come into contact with key operational personnel of various oil and gas companies both producer and service orientated. Consequently, as a technical marketing representative, I am familiar with the operational and process requirements and capabilities of these oil & gas and petrochemical organizations due to having to identify and develop a new client data base in addition to maintaining original and pre-existing company clients.

I am computer literate and familiar with Windows, Microsoft Office and Lotus Applications: Lotus Organizer 2.1 & Lotus Notes Release 3.
