CGX Energy Inc., the Canadian-based company focused on oil exploration in the Guyana-Suriname Basin, has announced that its Executive Vice-President and General Manager, Mr. Dewi Jones resigned, with effect from September 30, 2012. In announcing his resignation, Jones said he wished CGX and the great country of Guyana much success in the quest for the hydrocarbon resources in the Guyana Basin.
On his appointment in October last year, CGX had described Jones as an upstream exploration and development professional with 25 years of technical and hands-on managerial experience focused on Latin America.
He had, since 2004, worked for Repsol YPF (Repsol) in Latin America and was intimately involved in the Georgetown Block as Exploration Manager, with respect to the Trinidad, Guyana and Caribbean regions between 2005 and 2008.
During that time, he was responsible for exploration activities in the Guyana-Suriname Basin (including the acquisition of 2D/3D seismic surveys and drilling programmes undertaken by Repsol as operator) and the contractual negotiations with the Government of Guyana in respect of the Georgetown Block.
President and CEO, Mr. Kerry Sully had said:”Dewi Jones joined CGX in October 2011. His extensive experience in the Guyana-Suriname Basin plus his relationships in Guyana were very beneficial to CGX during our recent drilling programme. We wish him well in his future endeavours.”
