Recruitment Scams



It has been brought to attention of Leni Gas and Oil Group (‘LGO’) that fraudulent communications have been made to members of the public offering false employment opportunities in LGO. There have been recent incidents that have occurred with organisations falsely pretending to recruit on behalf of LGO or by people claiming to work for, or be affiliated to, LGO. These propositions notify individuals that their qualifications were found suitable to work as an employee (local or expatriate) for LGO and solicit the transfer of significant sums of money to pay for work permits, insurance policies, etc.


Please note that LGO (nor any of the organisations that recruit on our behalf) never ask for any money or payments from applicants, at any point in the recruitment process. All individuals who are successful in gaining an offer of employment from LGO, whether directly or indirectly, are always required to go through a formal recruitment process.


Please note that these communications are fraudulent. They do not originate from LGO nor are they associated with LGO’s recruitment process.



How to identify Recruitment fraud


  • The perpetrators will often ask recipients to complete bogus recruitment documentation, such as application forms, terms and conditions of employment or visa forms. The LGO name and logo is often featured on the documentation without authority
  • There is an early request for personal information such as address details, date of birth, CV, passport details, bank details etc.
  • Candidates are requested to contact other companies/individuals such as lawyers, bank officials, travel agencies, courier companies, visa/immigration processing agencies etc.
  • E-mail correspondence is often sent from (or to) free web-based e-mail accounts such as Yahoo.com, Yahoo.co.uk, Gmail.com, Googlemail.com, Live.com etc.
  • The perpetrators frequently use mobile or platform telephone numbers beginning with +44(0)70 instead of official company numbers.
  • The perpetrators may even offer to pay a large percentage of the fees requested and ask the candidate to pay the remaining amount.
  • There is an insistence on urgency


We recommend that you do not:


  • Respond to unsolicited business propositions and/or offers from people with whom you are unfamiliar.
  • Disclose your personal or financial details to anyone you do not know.
  • Send any money, LGO does not ask for money transfers or payments from applicants to secure a job, either as an employee or as a contractor.
  • If you receive such proposals, we would advise you to contact your local police and provide them with all information you may have from the senders (email addresses, phone/fax details, etc.).

Operation Overview

 
Production potential has been estimated to be in the range 1,000 to 4,000 bopd

Trinidad operation now comprise of four main assets, the Goudron Field IPSC, the Icacos Oilfield, the Moruga North leases and the Cedros Peninsular leases. The Gourdon Oilfield (LGO 100%) lies between the East Moruga and Beach Marcelle fields in south-eastern Trinidad and has direct access to the Petrotrin oil export pipeline to the Pointe-a-Pierre refinery in western Trinidad. The field was originally discovered by Trinidad Leaseholding Limited in 1927 and was largely developed in its current form by Texaco between 1956 and 1986, when ownership passed to Petrotrin and its predecessors. A field reactivation contract (Incremental Production Service Contract or IPSC) was signed in late 2009 and this contract acquired by LGO in October 2012. The Icacos Oilfield (LGO 50%) lies on the Cedros Peninsular in southwest Trinidad and is surrounded by a number of LGO’s 100% owned petroleum leases. The North Moruga leases (LGO 49%) are held in partnership with Advance Oil (Trinidad) Limited and contain the existing proven Moruga North Oilfield and a number of unexplored associated fault blocks in the central portion of the Southern Ranges.

Goudron Field (anticipated 100% LGO, operator)

 
Since the start of operations in 2012 LGO has more than doubled production

The transfer of the Goudron IPSC was completed in October 2012 and production enhancement activity commenced immediately. LGO also published the results of an independent reserves evaluation of the field commissioned from Challenge Energy Limited in London.

  • The concession covers a total of 2,875 acres (11.4 sq km)
  • The existing producing zones have reserves of proven and probable reserves of 7.2 mmbbls and estimated 3P reserve of 30 mmbbls
  • The current production comes from a relatively small number of active wells out of a total of about 100 still thought to be available
  • Production potential has been estimated to be in the range 1,000 to 4,000 bopd
  • Additional undeveloped reservoirs in the Gros Morne (Upper Cruse) and Lower Cruse formations provide considerable opportunities for future reserves growth

Since the start of operations in 2012 LGO has more than doubled production and anticipates continuing to increase daily production as additional wells are reactivated and wells are enhanced through work-overs and improved equipment. It is anticipated that the first new field development wells will be drilled in the second half of 2013.

A water-flood project has the potential to recover up to 60 mmbbls of incremental oil from the existing field and since much of the concession is underexplored there is thought to be significant potential for additional exploration opportunities. These projects will be considered once primary production from the field has been substantially increased and the production infrastructure upgraded.

 

Icacos Field, (LGO 50%)

 

Located in the extreme southwest of the island the Icacos field is operated by the Territorial Services Group (a subsidiary of Touchstone Exploration Inc).

  • 1,960 acres, onshore producing since 1960’s
  • No available seismic
  • Recent exploration is limited to shallow horizons
  • Gross average 2012 production of about 32 bopd
  • Additional development potential and possible deeper targets

LGO also holds a number of new 100% LGO owned private petroleum leases acquired in 2011 and 2012 covering some 1,752 acres of prospective, underexplored, lands around the Icacos Field. A Private Petroleum Licence has been applied for and it is hoped that exploration studies can commence in 2013.

Moruga North, (LGO 49%, operator)

 

LGO has signed a farm-in agreement with Advance Oil Company (Trinidad) Limited to participate in future production and exploration drilling in leases in the Moruga North area of the Southern Basin of Trinidad. The North Moruga leases are a combination of private and Petrotrin farm-out leases totaling 1,223 acres. Two existing production wells will be reactivated as soon as practical and are expected to produce up to 120 bopd (gross) once the necessary work-overs have been carried out. The farm-in agreement also envisages the drilling of between three and ten new wells in the leases, with the first well anticipated to be drilled in 2013.

Trinidad Growth Potential

 

The onshore oilfields of southern Trinidad perfectly fit LGO’s strategy of acquiring and redeveloping fields with unexploited reserves. Using new technology and making investments in work-overs, new facilities and infill wells LGO expects to substantially increase the production from its acreage in Trinidad in the next few years. Additional opportunities exist to add further assets and there is untapped exploration potential associated with each of LGO’s fields.
