< Dr. Mr. Lay,
< < I apologize for the "cold call" by e-mail, but this appears to be the < easiest way to contact you, given communications from Mexico, where I am < currently working and living. We did meet some years ago at a conference < in Houston when I was a VP of Union Gas, Ontario, Canada, which was later < bought by Westcoast Energy and to which I migrated. < < I served as Vice President, International, of Westcoast Energy Inc. for 5 < years after Union Gas. A year ago I elected to form my own consulting < company when Westcoast constricted its international program in Asia, my < prime area of interest at that time, to fund Alliance and their Mexican < projects. I remain on very good terms with Westcoast and have since done < considerable work in Mexico for them. Our Asia work was a real success, < and we built the first Canadian power plant in China, and acquired and < expanded a $550 MM US power plant in Indonesia. Both are business and < technical successes, and both were developed and built under my < leadership. < < My current 8 month consulting assignment here in Mexico City for a large < multi-national joint venture wraps up this month, and I am now seeking < other employment. We would be happy to stay in Latin America/Caribbean, go < back on the Asia beat, or try another geographical location. My < preference is contract work, full or part time, although I would consider < full time permanent employment. I thought perhaps Enron might have < opportunities for someone with my experience and talents. < My interests are primarily business development. Although an engineer by training, I have been in the business and operations side for the last 20 years. My main area has been natural resources and energy. I also enjoy strategy work, and apparently am good at it, judging by the results from the international plan I did as the first ever VP, International at Westcoast Energy. < One item of note regarding project feasibility - while I ran Westcoast < Energy's Asia business development and operations, we invested (with < partners) over $600 MM US in five years with a total staff of 5 (including < clerical), and a write-off rate of 0.14% of capital invested - possibly a < record low. I have good systems for risk review and mitigation, and to < screen projects, countries, partners, and agents. < < The contracts I have been working on in Mexico are Pemex contracts, but < are similar to the contracts used by CFE for IPPs, and drafted by the same < law firm, if Rosarito is any example. Having worked on $60 MM claims < under these contracts, I am very familiar with the problems that these < contracts have, the various possible interpretations, and the possible < "fixes". If, as I suspect, Enron are interested in more power < development in the rapidly expanding/opening Mexican IPP market, I believe < I could offer solid advice on the contracts, the players, and the risks. < < The first page of my CV is below in e-mail form. If it is of interest, < the complete CV is attached. A list of services my consulting company < provides is available upon request. We are basically a boutique business < consulting firm, consisting of former senior executives of Canadian energy < firms/governments. Some of us, myself included, offer multi-lingual < capabilities. < < I can be reached in Mexico City at phone (52) 5290-0117, fax (52) 5291 < 9627 or at the e mail in the CV at any time, or at this e-mail for the < next two months. < I would appreciate if you could circulate this note and my CV to the appropriate parties in Enron. < Sincerely, < < John Hunter, P. Eng. < < < < JOHN COLIN HUNTER < < 338 Roche Point Drive < North Vancouver, BC, Canada V7G 2M2 < < Tele: (1-604) 929-3415 < Fax: (1-604) 929-7168 < E-Mail: johnhunter@idmail.com < < < PROFILE < < A senior business executive in the energy sector, < with more than 30 years of diverse experience in Canada and overseas in < petroleum refining, the upstream oil and gas industry, natural gas utility < operations and management, and international operations and business < development in the natural gas and power infrastructure business. < Multi-lingual. < < < KEY ACCOMPLISHMENTS < < * Successful consultant to international joint < ventures in facilitation, contract disputes, claims, and business < development, living and working overseas. < < * As the first Vice-President, International, of Canada's 17th largest < company, developed the international strategic plan, and then developed, < built and operated successful international energy projects. < < * Served as President and/or Director of five power generation joint < ventures. < < * As V.P. of Canada's largest integrated gas utility, developed and < implemented policy to lead the company into the de-regulated environment. < < * Restructured, re-staffed and changed the culture of an operating < department of 220, while accomplishing profitable growth and business < change. < < * Developed and innovatively financed heavy oil projects, and < completed the successful disposition of $500 MM of oil and gas assets. < < * General management skills include leadership, strategic planning, < marketing, risk assessment/mitigation, operations and project management. < < * Introduction of innovation/change in human < and technical fields. < < * Proven record of significant < industry-recognized accomplishments. < < * Proven record as a very strong negotiator < and contract expert. < < < <<Resume August 2000.doc<< < < < - Resume August 2000.doc
