Kerenga Kua, Papua New Guinea's petroleum minister, wishes to see the PNG government, ExxonMobil PNG, and the PNG LNG project enhance their beneficial relationship.
Peter Larden, the new managing director of ExxonMobil PNG, was greeted by Kua, who said, “We look forward to working with him on a wide range of economic and social programmes that continue to transform the lives of Papua New Guineans”.
Natural resource projects play a vital role in the future of this country’s economy and the development of its people,” Kua said.
“The PNG LNG project remains an industry leader not just in creating revenue for the country, but in providing opportunities for Papua New Guineans to grow as technical specialists and business leaders.
“PNG citizens including 20 per cent women now make up 91 per cent of PNG LNG’s total workforce – a fantastic achievement. This is a testament to EMPNG’s commitment to national content.”
Andrew Barry, who has been with the PNG LNG project for over six years, has been promoted to vice-president of Global LNG Marketing for ExxonMobil in Singapore.
