Targeted appointment addresses increasing demand for innovative solutions in the Americas
(HOUSTON) Trendsetter Vulcan Offshore (TVO), a developer of innovative solutions for the
offshore industry, has expanded its global business development team with the addition of Barry
Bulls as the new Business Development Lead for the US team.
“Our track record for addressing critical offshore challenges demonstrates the value of
developing creative solutions based on established technology,” says TVO President Jim Maher.
“Investing in people is foundational to consistently living up to that reputation, and expanding
our expert team is our way of ensuring TVO’s essential services are accessible to companies that
need reliable ways to resolve subsea challenges.”
As part of the global TVO business development team, Bulls will work directly with companies
that are looking for technical solutions that meet local performance and safety requirements.
With 34 years in the oil and gas industry, he brings to the table not only a solid engineering
background but also extensive experience in project management and execution. Bulls’
knowledge of top tensioned risers, floating production systems, and subsea systems integration,
combined with technical sales and management experience, will be indispensable for companies
looking to identify appropriate and practical solutions that can be implemented without undue
expense or compromises to safety.
“I’m looking forward to putting my experience in the offshore industry to work helping
companies find solutions to critical operational challenges,” Bulls says. “My firsthand
involvement with complex subsea environments puts me in a position to quickly understand the
relevant technical issues and help companies move from indecision and inactivity to problemsolving and progress.”
According to TVO Vice President Kevin Chell, adding experienced industry experts like Bulls to
the team is essential to meeting evolving industry needs. “Having the right people in place to
interface with companies that are contending with technical and operational challenges positions
us to better serve the global industry and underscores our commitment to offshore oil and gas
development,” Chell says.
For more than a decade, TVO solutions have been integral to improving offshore safety,
reducing wellhead fatigue, enabling deepwater DP vessels to work in shallow water, and
facilitating plugging and abandonment programs in demanding offshore environments.
