4 Additional Information continued Biography After reading the biography of Peter J. Renton, how do you compare your personality and characteristics to his? Please provide examples in a typewritten statement of no more than 300 words. Candidates should reflect on their community service, employment, athletics, leadership and academic achievement and describe how their chosen field of study relates to the oil and gas industry. Biography People who worked with Peter throughout his 40-year career in the energy sector immediately recall his integrity, humour, commitment to fair play, and most of all, his resolve to do the job right. A man of wide interests and infectious curiosity, he approached every task and every relationship with a passion. Tenacious when he believed in someone or something, he never let an obstacle deter him from doing what needed to be done. He valued honesty more than anything and believed that integrity is the cornerstone of both personal and business dealings. A serious and accomplished professional, he loved to laugh and took great delight at seeing the funny side of things. He loved time with his family and friends, golf, sports cars and other interests too numerous to mention. In short, he was an inquisitive, multidimensional man. Peter s career spanned many aspects of the oil and gas industry. After graduating from Mechanical Engineering at the University of Calgary, he began his career in Argentina with an oil and gas service company. Returning to Canada, he joined Gulf Canada Resources where he worked for 25 years in a variety of roles, including oil and gas production, natural gas processing, and natural gas liquids marketing. This diverse experience was the basis for the insight and knowledge that Peter happily shared with co-workers. In 1998, Peter was a member of the management group that left Gulf Canada to form Keyera Energy s predecessor company Gulf Midstream Services. Over the next ten years, he was a key contributor to Keyera s success. Peter recognized that environmental protection, social responsibility and a competent and experienced workforce are essential components of a successful business and, in 2003, he assumed responsibility for these elements at Keyera. His commitment to doing the right thing in all aspects of business led Peter to build protocols and systems that to this day help Keyera balance diverse stakeholder expectations, respect the environment and promote the health and safety of employees and the communities in which they work. Peter believed in life-long learning that builds upon education and experience. Combined with his drive to promote safe, efficient and reliable operations, this led him to seek ways to engage employees in on-going skills upgrading and certification. In addition to sharing his experience and vision, he was instrumental in the development of Keyera s innovative Competency Management and Development System. This important program is now used by many companies throughout the Canadian oil and gas sector. As a mentor, Peter was quick to recognize the potential in others. He took great pleasure in asking questions, sharing his knowledge, and in reinforcing behaviour that leads to success. Many people working in oil and gas credit Peter with providing them the opportunity to develop their talents and skills and reach their full potential. Peter s legacy of commitment and actions continues to benefit Keyera today. This scholarship was created to commemorate this legacy by assisting individuals with similar characteristics to pursue a post secondary education leading to a career in the oil and gas industry.
