Marine Technology Society – Houston Section - May 28, 2009
Ghana’s Jubilee Phase I Development Project
The next MTS Houston luncheon will be held on May 28 and will feature a presentation by Dennis McLaughlin, Kosmos Energy, on the Jubilee development offshore Ghana. Since this is a relatively new project, much of the information associated with the development is of a confidential or sensitive nature, so very little information is being made public at this time. However the presentation is open to anyone who is interested in hearing first hand about the development.
About the Speaker
Dennis McLaughlin is Vice President and Jubilee Project Director for Kosmos Energy, development operator for the giant new deepwater discovery offshore Ghana. He has 35 years of offshore engineering and management experience, most of which has involved frontier and deepwater technology. Dennis has worked for three manor natural resource companies, including roles as director for three milestone deepwater projects. He holds a BS degree in mechanical engineering from Michigan State University.
