ExxonMobil PNG

This was revealed on June 22 at a PNG LNG project advocacy workshop between ExxonMobil PNG officials and provincial management team, consisting of senior managers in the Central Provincial Administration.

Deputy Provincial Administrator Marina Faiteli told the meeting that from the past engagements since 2013, sectors and divisions in the Central Provincial Administration are working together with ExxonMobil PNG.

“I’d like to challenge my officers in Central to take ownership of this program and let’s not depend on our partners to come and keep pushing us on what to do.

More than 500 Grade Eight students in five primary schools experienced the adventures of science with ExxonMobil PNG’s Community Affairs team who taught lessons on rocks and geology.

Schools included in the program were Sisimakam, Hongas, Gretutu, St Montfort and Kiunga Town Primary School.

The students participated in a fun hands-on experience of touching minerals and rock samples, including fossils, and had the opportunity to learn how they form into petroleum products over millions of years.

ExxonMobil PNG, operator of PNG LNG project is an advocate against gender based violence and has come to the aide of the FSVU because of the work it does for women, children and men who are affected by violence in their home.

FSVU officer, Sergeant Eremugo Job said the hut was a waiting area for families that come to the Unit to lodge their complaints or seek advice. The hut was built a couple of years ago through the PNG-Australia Policing Partnership but had weathered over time and was in much need of repair.

ExxonMobil assisted the program and its partners in rolling out its weeklong awareness program which took place in the township of Kiunga to mark World Malaria Day.

ExxonMobil PNG’s expansion project community affairs field coordinator, Dylan Soondrawu when handing over the treated mosquito nets highlighted the positive impact that mosquito nets will have on vulnerable women and children in malaria prone high risk areas.

The first flight with staff on board arrived at Komo airfield on 26 April 2018. A cargo plane delivering earthquake relief landed shortly after.

ExxonMobil PNG Managing Director, Andrew Barry, said the reinstatement of Komo airfield in such a short timeframe is a testament to the hard work and dedication of those involved.

ExxonMobil PNG has brought forward is annual donation to the Salvation Army’s Red Shield Appeal, providing them with advanced funds to purchase urgent supplies needed in the relief efforts.                                                                                         

It is the sixth consecutive year ExxonMobil PNG has supported the Appeal with the funds traditionally being used to assist the Salvation Army to carry out its social services programs in communities in PNG.

ExxonMobil managing director, Andrew Barry, said they have begun flying in experts to carry out the assessment.

Since Monday the company has shut down its Hides gas conditioning plant, the two LNG trains in Port Moresby, and evacuated non-essential staff at those facilities.

He said the facilities were shut down without any problems.

This call was made by Doreka Dai, who is a designer and runs a small tailoring business.

She made the comments during the opening of the Boera Women’s Resource Centre in the Central Province village yesterday (Feb 27).

Dai, who is a member of the Boera Women’s Association and Advancing PNG: Women Leaders Network, said many a time, women were their own worst enemies.

With the new centre, she called for cooperation and support among women.

The Centre was built with support from ExxonMobil PNG at a cost of K260,000.

The plant and wellpads have been shut as a precaution until full assessments can be completed on damages sustained during the earthquake.

In a statement, ExxonMobil PNG says it is putting plans in place to evacuate non-essential staff due to the damage to the Hides camp quarters and continuing aftershocks.

Managing Director Andrew Barry said this during a community partner thank you event hosted in Port Moresby recently.

More than 100 organisations attended the event, hosted by ExxonMobil PNG.

Barry thanked the development partners, acknowledging their contributions to community-backed projects.

In a heartfelt speech he said the partnerships they have built to deliver development projects for communities around PNG has been nothing short of inspirational and has had a profound impact on his life.
