Senior management team in place
Although the LNG terminal is not scheduled to be completed until late 2008,
Cameron LNG has already hired the senior management team. "It's key to
the success of this facility to have the terminal manager and the senior
operations team in place while the terminal is under construction," says David Cobb,
vice president of operations for Sempra LNG. "We want the team to know
every detail of this facility and that's a lot easier to do when you
see and experience it from the ground up."
The Cameron LNG management team is already hard at work, participating
in meetings with the construction team, reviewing engineering drawings,
conducting safety and operations reviews, and gearing up for the next hiring
phase. They will also go through extensive training and verification of all operation components in the months leading up to the terminal's startup.
Some of these faces may be familiar, as Cameron LNG terminal manager Randy
Oakley and maintenance & engineering manager Richard Boenig are from
southwest Louisiana.
"We are thrilled to have such an exemplary team already in place
at Cameron LNG," continues Cobb. "Randy and his team are dedicated
professionals and will manage this facility to meet or surpass the
nations's highest safety and operations standards."
