“Ten years ago many oil and gas executives thought [the] North American business was in its sunset; the new pools being found kept getting smaller, risks were increasing, overhead rising. New technology, however, has been a game changer, and now everyone is back in North America—redeveloping or expanding existing pools, drilling in areas never previously contemplated,” says Tutty.

Tutty’s career started with Texaco Exploration in Calgary as a junior petroleum geologist earning a new grad’s $600 monthly. Following the buyout of Texaco by Imperial Oil in 1990, Tutty became the General Manager of exploration and Chief Geoscientist in charge of exploration activities and geoscience staff development. While in Houston, his advisory roles earned him the appointments of VP and director of two Esso Papua New Guinea companies, with a mission to advance shareholder endorsements for business proposals from Essos Australia, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Papua New Guinea.

Today, as Sabre Energy Ltd.’s VP of Exploration he now exercises his broad influence and interests in legacy oil and gas properties in Western Canada and opportunity screening and mapping to identify new areas for growth.

“Never underestimate the creativity and ingenuity of the people in this industry,” says Tutty, a firm believer in capitalizing on existing fields to maximize production and enhance recovery. “I see a ‘redevelopment’ of the hydrocarbon basins of the world with new technology as learnings from North America are applied elsewhere.”

Recalling the challenges he had as a new grad to embrace technology, such as electronic data management systems, he advises the younger set to keep an open mind to new technologies but be cognizant of the risks and “know when it’s time to end a project … let the information drive the path and direction, and most importantly, cultivate and maintain your networks as they can give you a broader vision of the future.”

His son, Chris Tutty, a marketing wizard, artistic genius, and entrepreneur, underscores his father’s notions to realize one’s limitations and invest your efforts in a quality mentor. “I know what I’m good at and what I’m not. If someone can do something in two hours and save me time, then let him or her do it.”

Chris’s art has impacted many charities, including the Kennedy Foundation, The Waterkeepers Alliance, Bill Brooks, and Trout Unlimited, to name a few. One of his most recent works was purchased by Pierce Brosnan, and his client list is growing legs.

Referring to his mentor, Paul Vickers of US Flood Control, Chris Tutty states, “(Paul) can look back and tell you [what he did wrong, but] you have to listen. [You must] be willing to reinvent yourself.” Chris advises to set aside money if you need to make it happen, “Re-prioritize to reinvent, … but don’t take no for an answer.”

    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.
