VANCOUVER, Jan. 12, 2017 /CNW/ - Nigel Kuzemko, Chief Executive Officer of Steelhead LNG, announced today the appointment of two new members to the company's executive team.

Paul Sullivan, formerly Senior Vice President of Global LNG and Floating LNG (FLNG) at Worley Parsons Group, has been appointed Vice President, Projects. Mr. Sullivan has had a long career in engineering and construction, with more than 25 years managing liquefied natural gas (LNG) import and export projects. He previously led the FEED group at British Gas, where he was involved in the development, from concept to implementation, of the company's liquefaction and regasification projects. He was instrumental in developing Atlantic LNG, British Gas' first grassroots liquefaction project in Trinidad. He has also previously served as the Development and Projects Director for Whessoe Oil & Gas, where he was responsible for front end engineering, product innovation and project development, together with operations responsibility for the western hemisphere, India and East Asia.

"Steelhead LNG is at an exciting point and has the potential to be a game changer in the LNG industry," said Mr. Sullivan. "I look forward to overseeing the next phase of development of the company's At-Shore LNG export projects, which have the potential to deliver some of the lowest cost LNG to international markets."

Gerry Peereboom, has been appointed Vice President, Integration. Mr. Peereboom has more than 38 years of international experience on major oil, gas and LNG projects for companies such as Noble Energy, BP and Amoco. His experience includes a wide range of international commercial, financial and general managerial positions. Mr. Peereboom was President of Atlantic LNG in Trinidad when it was developed for BP/Amoco in the mid-1990s. He then served as President of Tangguh LNG for BP, based in Indonesia. Mr. Peereboom will lead the schedule, risk assessment and risk mitigation across the company, while playing a key role in the ongoing structuring of the midstream and interface with Steelhead LNG's upstream partner, Seven Generations Energy. He will also oversee the development and application of Steelhead LNG's environmental stewardship best practices.

"I see Steelhead LNG as one of the most dynamic and innovative companies in the industry and am excited to join the team," said Mr. Peereboom. "Working together with our upstream partner Seven Generations Energy, I believe Steelhead LNG will develop sustainable projects that deliver LNG with some of the lowest emissions across the entire value chain."

Both Sullivan and Peereboom will be based out of Steelhead LNG's corporate headquarters in Vancouver, British Columbia.
