    Intecsea & WorleyParsons – Expanding Operations In Atlantic Canada

    In early 2010, WorleyParsons Canada opened its first East Coast office in St. John’s, Newfoundland, to better serve the growing demand for resource development in Atlantic Canada. In the same year, INTECSEA, a division of WorleyParsons and a specialty subsea engineering service provider, began its operations in Atlantic Canada—jointly growing their hydrocarbon capabilities. In four years, WorleyParsons and INTECSEA have grown their Atlantic Canada operations to more than 220 personnel, operating out of three offices in the heart of St. John’s.

    WorleyParsons, an Australian-based international engineering and project delivery firm, arrived in Canada in 2003 and has grown through organic expansion and acquisition of companies such as Komex, HGE, MacDonald Engineering Group, Colt, and Westmar, and through joint venture agreements with companies, such as Cergetec in Quebec. Today, WorleyParsons is one of the largest engineering and project delivery firms in Canada. Its success in this dynamic and fast-growing region has resulted in a reputable presence across Newfoundland and Labrador, as well as several Atlantic Provinces, including Nova Scotia and New Brunswick.

    Tina Olivero

    30 years ago, Tina Olivero looked into the future and saw an opportunity to make a difference for her province and people. That difference came in the form of the oil and gas sector. Six years before there was even a drop of oil brought to the shores of Newfoundland, she founded The Oil and Gas Magazine (THE OGM) from a back room in her home on Signal Hill Road, in St. John’s, Newfoundland. A single mother, no financing, no previous journalism or oil and gas experience, she forged ahead, with a creative vision and one heck of a heaping dose of sheer determination. With her pioneering spirit, Ms. Olivero developed a magazine that would educate, inspire, motivate and entertain oil and gas readers around the world — She prides herself in marketing and promoting our province and resources in unprecedented ways. The OGM is a magazine that focuses on our projects, our people, our opportunities and ultimately becomes the bridge to new energy outcomes and a sustainable new energy world. Now diversifying into the communications realms, a natural progression from the Magazine, The OGM now offers an entirely new division - Oil & Gas Media. Today, The Oil and Gas Magazine is a global phenomenon that operates not only in Newfoundland, but also in Calgary and is read by oil and gas enthusiasts in Norway, Aberdeen, across the US and as far reaching as Abu Dhabi, in the Middle East. Believing that Energy is everyone’s business, Ms. Olivero has combined energy + culture to embrace the worlds commitment to a balance of work and home life as well as fostering a foundation for health and well being. In this era of growth and development business and lifestyle are an eloquent mix, there is no beginning or end. Partnering with over 90 oil and gas exhibitions and conferences around the world, Ms. Olivero's role as a Global Visionary is to embrace communication in a way that fosters oil and gas business and industry growth in new and creative ways.
