Business Wire
Buccaneer Energy is proud to support the Kenai Chamber of
Commerce by being the title sponsor of its 27th Annual Beer and
Wine Experience. Titled “Lumber Jack Jam”, the October 1st event
represents the Chamber’s main fund raising effort for the year.
“As a member of the Kenai community, it is important that we
stand with the Chamber and support the area businesses,” said
Curtis Burton, CEO of Buccaneer. “We intend to be a part of the
community for a very long time, and as such look forward to
participating in not only this year’s event, but also in those in
the years to come.”
Buccaneer is also teaming up with the Chamber in a joint contest
to ask the citizens of Alaska to “Name The Rig.” Through its
subsidiary, Kenai Offshore Ventures, Buccaneer will be bringing a
LeTourneau Class 116 Jack-up rig to the Cook Inlet. The rig and its
crew will be headquartered in Kenai and will have a significant
positive impact on the local economy.
Anyone who would like to submit a name for the rig is asked to
e-mail their suggestions to NameTheRig@BuccaneerAlaska.com. The
winner of this contest will receive two VIP tickets to the Lumber
Jack Jam and will receive a special tour of the rig when it arrives
in the Inlet. (Travel not included) All entries are due by
September 23rd.
Mr. Burton continued, “We are looking for a name that fits with
our home base of Kenai, the spirit of Alaska, and represents our
long term commitment to the area. We are excited about the contest,
and look forward to reviewing all of the submissions and choosing
the best as the winner.”
Originally built to operate in the North Sea, the rig’s steel is
rated to withstand -10 degree water, so the rig is well-suited to
search for hydrocarbons while protecting the sensitive environment
of the Inlet. The rig carries a variety of state of the art safety
systems including 10K and 15K blowout preventer systems. Since it
has such a large list of capabilities, it’s the ideal rig selection
for the Inlet. For technical details and to see photos of the rig
