HOUSTON, Texas — At a ceremony in Washington,
D.C., Jackie LaFontaine, a division vice president for Halliburton
Energy Services' Completions, was recently named 2003 winner in
the visionary category of RaderEnergy's 'Key Women in Energy Americas.'
The event was part of two simultaneous conferences — the
Edison Electric Institute (EEI)/Canadian Electric Association joint
CEO conference and the EEI/American Gas Association joint directors'
conference.
The mission of the honours program is to identify, recognise, and
honour excellence in individual performance in the energy industry.
"The honourees are women who have made an exceptional contribution
to their company, country, or the global energy marketplace,"
according to the RaderEnergy web site.
Program material defines a visionary as a forward-thinking individual
who marches to the beat of a different drummer, with the foresight
and/or courage to initiate or carry out change.
"Jackie certainly embodies the visionary definition,"
according to members of the Halliburton Deepwater technical team.
"She has three patents on completion technology and is responsible
for initiating and planning an industrywide horizontal completion
study with two other industry leaders that resulted in the sharing
and analysing of data collectively across the industry that expedited
the development of the technology."
LaFontaine has 18 years of petroleum industry experience (seven
with Halliburton) and holds a bachelor's degree in chemical engineering
from Mississippi State University.
In addition to this honour, she recently traveled to Germany where
she was a global nominee for the 50 Key Women in Energy worldwide.
Project sponsors of the 2003 'Key Women in Energy-Americas' awards
are EDS, the New York Mercantile Exchange, and Bozell Jacobs. EEI,
the Canadian Energy Research Institute, Major Newswire, and YES,
Inc., are project supporting organisations.
