    Atlantic Canada Petroleum Show

    Recently Tom Burke and Simon Bourgeoise of the Quebec PRUFTECHNIK location joined members of the offshore community to meet in the heart of Canada’s offshore oil and gas industry. On June 21– 22 at Mile One Centre, in St. John’s, Newfoundland & Labrador the Atlantic Canada Petroleum show took place. It was an opportunity to get deep into the local offshore opportunities, be hands-on with new technology driving innovation in the market and network with your current and future clients, business partners and associates.

    At ACPS 150 key exhibitors aligned themselves for future contracts like White Rose Extension and the exploration plays to come.

    White Rose Extension Project – Wellhead Platform

    Together with its co-venture partners, Husky Energy is developing the West White Rose Extension with a concrete gravity structure.  The predicted 3 $Billion wellhead platform will serve as a fixed drilling rig and will be located approximately 350 kilometres south-east of Newfoundland & Labrador, in the White Rose field.
    The wellhead platform will consist of a concrete gravity structure and topsides, which will include drilling facilities, wellheads and support services such as accommodations, utilities, a flare boom and helideck.  The primary function of the platform will be drilling.
    For the offshore supply base, servicing the oil and gas industry in Eastern Canada, this and other exploration plays make this region a lucrative place to focus on business development.
    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.
