Trinidad & Tobago
Committed to Enhancing the Region's Energy IndustryHighlights of Operations

Chevron's exploration and production in the waters off the east coast of Trinidad and Tobago is yielding impressive results.

As a company, we aim to build a mutually beneficial partnership with the country by developing its natural gas business.

That objective is being fueled by production from the Dolphin and Dolphin Deep natural gas fields located offshore in the East Coast Marine Area. The project's Dolphin platform was installed in 1995. Natural gas flows to the domestic market and is converted to liquefied natural gas (LNG) for export to markets in Europe and the United States.

Additional development to supply future gas is under way.

Caesu, you may be right but I was for certain he was on Bill O'Reilly also.  Cannot find it though.  Sorry.

Blue Moon, Wilders is the uncle of Brinkman and there is a family resemblance IMO.  I think it may have been Wilders you are thinking of?

Wilders is the one who was blocked from entering the UK.

no Wilders is not the uncle of Brinkman...

they are just both of the same political party, that's all.

Monkeys don't always agree or see things the same but most people are able to move on, agree to disagree or whatever is required when their heart is in the right place and they just want justice.  They don't have to always be right or have their pet theory supported.

Klaas and I have had our differences in the past but we are able to move on beyond that.  And I will be the first to say that if not for Klaasend there probably wouldn't be a forum because she ran it alone, by herself for the longest time.  Many new monkeys probably don't realize that and think there were always several mods but there weren't.  Just Klaas.

So I guess I am less than appreciative when I think people are being disrespectful to Klaas or saying things that are not true.  I don't like for anybody to post things that are not true anywhere.  Just bugs me to no end.

With all the active threads, this forum is huge now and trying to give grief is not going to work.  Just a word to the wise.  We all post here as guests.

Klaas, we do appreciate you from the bottom of our hearts.

Wilders is NOT the uncle of Brinkman???

Wow!  I wonder where I got that idea!  Probably that Bastibro told me that!

Sorry for the confusion because I really thought he was and do believe someone posted here that he was.

Then again it could have been one of those awful translations from google simply referring to Wilders as like an older advisor and I took it literally.  Those things are awful and can really confuse me.

[klaasend]

Thanks Anna! 

Honestly, most missing person forums have closed their Natalee Holloway threads, there are very few places left to actively discuss and research the case. 

I believe there's still a chance for justice in this case and that's why the NH forum at SM remains open.  I do not need alot of drama though as there are other cases keeping the forum and moderators very busy right now

Janet, you aren't even a bad dream, let alone a nightmare.

Kyle ... I do believe that time has proven you wrong.  I am your worst nighmare and will continue to be until you do right and reveal all to the family/ FBI  regarding the happenings on board the Persistence encompassing the recovery process of the samples taken from the trap.


We had little option other than to have the Aruban dive division recover the samples and bring them back under their care.  Remember we are Americans working in Aruban waters, subject to their laws, invitation, and blessing.  Our hands are tied for the most part.

Kyle ... there was nothing stopping John Silvetti from having the crew of the Persistence involved in the recovery process as witnesses.  There was nothing stopping John Silvetti from having at least one American diver involved in the recovery process.  There was nothing stopping John Silvetti from having an FBI observant present.  There was nothing stopping John Silvetti from taking pictures of the samples prior to the Aruban taking possession.


I personally was extremely uncomfortable with the chain of custody, being that we weren't a part of it, but I was powerless to do anything about it.

After reading your own words submitted to the Natalee's Freebirds ... appreciate the position you were in.


The samples were photographed in detail by one Aruban diver and the other two investigated the contents of the trap, the dimensions, the rigging, and what surrounded the trap.  From the video, it looked like they did a diligent and careful job with the samples and the underwater photography.  I don't know who has these pictures, but I must assume ALE.

There was nothing stopping John Silvetti from demanding that those underwater photos be shared with him.

KYLE KINGMAN - IN HIS OWN WORDS

Kyle Kingman: I get done in the survey room backing up the ROV dive and head to the back deck to talk to the Polis divers and see what they sampled and see the Polis boat way in the distance heading away fast. John doesn't seem concerned at all, but I am very dissapointed, concerned, and burning inside because I have a feeling that I/we will never know what they took from the trap. That evening I talked to John asking when we plan on recovering the trap. Previously this was part of the talks and plan, but this time he doesn't seem concerned about ever looking into the trap further. After John verbally BASHED me about the trap for what I said to Tim Miller about the sand body-form and that I believed her skirt was under the sand, John pretty much committed himself to the belief the trap wasn't what we were after. This shocked me because it was exactly what we were looking for- a fish trap lost at sea with human remains.

Anna ... thank you.

I did not realized that you took a picture of me doing THE HINKY WITH A FLAIR.   I do believe it was shortly following this take that I put my back out.

I still cannot get Brandi out from behind the couch.  She is hiding her head in her paws and whinning.

Janet - I really don't know.  Just seems odd the members of CnG that were interrested in the NH case are now joining and posting at BFN and Goldmonkey.  Guess CnG isn't busy enough for them?

Poor Brandi!  It may take her some time to recover but dogs are resilient and I am sure she will be fine in a day or two.

Meanwhile, Veripos has also appointed Phil Milne as General Manager with additional responsibility for implementation of the company's worldwide Health, Safety, Enivronment and Quality (HSEQ) procedures as well as management of its Europe-Africa-Middle East region. He was formerly Business Development Manager of DOF Egypt, having earlier been General Manager of Oceonics Positioning Service prior to assuming a number of key posts within the Fugro group of companies in Australia, Egypt and the UK.

 

Both Gordon Spalding and Phil Milne will report direct to Veripos Managing Director, Walter Steedman.








Veripos Management Appointment  04/12/2008 
Veripos has appointed Kevin Murray-Taylor as Business Development Manager for its Europe, Africa & Middle East (EAME) Region with responsibility for continued expansion of its services on behalf of major operators of 3D seismic, survey, DP, construction and pipelay vessels.

With a Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM) diploma in Marketing  and also holding a BA in Business Studies from Robert Gordon University, he has been associated with the offshore industry for a number of years, having been responsible for sales and marketing of navigation, telemetry and underwater sensors for survey and ROV applications with both CDL and Stenmar Sonavision.

Veripos Americas Positioning Contracts  05/08/2008 
Veripos' Houston-based Americas Region has been awarded major offshore positioning contracts by DOF Subsea, LSP, Tidewater and WesternGeco for vessels operating in Brazilian, Mexican and US waters. The contracts also cover supply of proprietary integrated demodulator and GNSS receivers and associated software modules to ensure seamless high-precision sub-metre positioning for survey, construction support, seismic and general offshore operations.

The contract extends the relationship between the two companies following an earlier three-year agreement. 


I most definitly think GeoLab,APS,Sonavision,as well as Veripos is worth investigating??Just a thought...Lot's of $$$$$$$$$.May mean something,May not...

Thank you, Janet!  I'm working on the post now, and it's helping me untangle my thoughts already - I had started lining up Kyle's statements to add the Dec. 30th meeting onboard the Persistence to the timeline (a.k.a. The Hinky Meeting).  Somehow I ended up with more questions than I'd started with.  Essentially, if Kyle is telling the truth, then his statements of the consecutive events, even from different posts, should line up together...any consistent absences of information may become more noticeable as well. 

[Lifesong]

Btw - I do have little moments when I wonder if little birdies are watching the reinvention of the wheel...  I'm under no illusion this is breaking new ground here.   

I do not like being in the remedial class!
