engineering companies, working his way up to assistant
vice president and becoming licensed in surveying and
hydrography.
“I had the good fortune to be able to start my business
over 36 years ago with the help and support of a tremendous amount of people,” Hebert said. “I’ve been blessed
with success, not through my doing alone, but certainly
with all those who have contributed to assist in helping.”

LOOP weathering oil downturn thanks to storage focus
By: Sean Ellis, Staff Writer, The Courier
The Louisiana Offshore
Oil Port continues to adapt
to an ever-changing market,
LOOP President Tom Shaw
said Tuesday at the South
Central Industrial Association’s
monthly general meeting at the
Quality Hotel in Houma.
While the price of oil has
been at a low for quite some
time, Shaw said that LOOP
LOOP President Tom Shaw hasn’t been feeling the effects
in the same manner. Because
LOOP has a large amount of storage in its facilities, the overproduction of crude is actually a positive for the company
as producers, traders and refiners need somewhere to put
the oil until the market balances out.
“More oil is being produced than what’s being consumed
so on the consumption side, it’s bad. On the production side,
a lot of projects were sanctioned. That oil’s coming onshore
and coming to terminals and there’s not enough demand
to take it. … We have a lot of storage facilities,” he said.
Again opposite of the current situation, when times
were “good for everyone else,” Shaw said, it put pressure
on LOOP because a lot of the oil that was pushed out was
imported oil.
Over the years, LOOP has taken steps to capture other
parts of the market. It has expanded into selling storage
futures and some time ago added tank storage to its facilities to allow medium range tankers to offload at its offshore
port. Now, two-thirds of the oil that LOOP handles is domestic and it accounts for seven percent of the nation’s
refining capacity, Shaw said.
The company is also building seven new tanks at its Clovelly Hub in Galliano to increase its above-ground storage
by over 2.2 million barrels.
www.sciaonline.net
When completed, the six new tanks will join 15 other
crude oil storage tanks at the hub to bring above-ground
storage capacity to 11.2 million barrels and increase the
total storage capacity to 71 million. The hub has an additional 60 million barrels of capacity in underground storage.
“That’s the adaptation that we’ve had over the last
several years,” he said.
LOOP is also looking into the possibility of adding facilities for loading vessels, destined for either international
or domestic ports, at its offshore port. However, Shaw said
that market may not be large enough yet to pursue, but the
diversification is something to examine.
“We’re always looking to see how we can take the assets
that we have and diversifity to where the needs are. We
think that there’s going to be a lot of medium sour crude that
comes onshore between Houma and Clovelly, potentially
more than can move out of here. To be able to take this oil
that can be produced and find a market, we can help get
that loaded onto ships,” he said.
Currently, ships can be loaded with crude in St. James
on smaller vessels so it would take crude in exportable
amounts that would make sense being loaded onto very
large tankers before it was viable for LOOP to pursue,
Shaw said.
While he has no idea when the oil market will regain
its balance, Shaw did say it is “coming back up.”
“We think that Canadian (oil) production is going to
continue to grow. There are going to be imports from places
other than Canada that are going to produce to keep their
market. Global demand is going to have to grow to meet
production,” he said.
For LOOP, its customers continue to show an interest
in storage and the port doesn’t yet know where that ends
but the demand is there at the moment and it will spur
activity, Shaw said.

Economic Development Authority hires new chief
By: Sean Ellis, Staff Writer, The Courier
The Terrebonne
Parish Economic Development Authority
approved an executive
search committee’s
recommendation of
Matthew Rookard for
its new chief executive
officer.
The position had
been vacant since
former CEO Pat Gordon
resigned in March due
to health reasons after
six months in the post.
Gordon was TEDA’s first
CEO after the authority
lay mostly dormant for
a year after it was deMatthew Rookard
funded in 2014 when its
main source of income, occupational license taxes, was
re-allocated in the 2014 parish budget.
Economic development activities weren handled by
the parish while TEDA was re-formed and re-shaped to
once again stand as its own entity. The authority was officially reformed in October 2015.
Rookard brings almost seven and a half years of experience in economic development to the table. From
2007-2009, he worked with the Louisiana Economic Development Authority as a project manager and following
that he had a five year stint with Greater New Orleans,
Inc. as the senior vice president of business development.
TEDA budgeted $100,000 for its chief executive officer
this year.
Katherine Gilbert-Theriot, TEDA’s business retention
and expansion director, had assumed the duties of the
CEO on an interim basis following Gordon’s resignation.
Rookard, a graduate of Louisiana Tech, checks one
of the boxes for the board that was the topic of much
discussion when the search for the CEO began -- a local
executive officer.
Gilbert-Theriot presented the board with options for
finding Gordon’s replacement, mostly using advertisements through the economic development community.
with organizations such as the International Economic
Development Council and the Community Development
Institute.
There was some hesitancy among the board about

advertising with national organizations as candidates
from out of the state may take some time to settle into
living in the area. Rookard has and is currently working
in the New Orleans area.
Rookard was chosen from a pool of four candidates by
the Board’s executive search committee. The other three
candidates were:
-Katherine Gilbert-Theriot, the current business retention and expansion director for the Terrebonne Economic
Development Authority.
-C.A. “Chip” Peters, a resident of Pittsburgh, Pa., who
has previously spent time working in the Greater New
Orleans area as the executive director of LASBHC and the
Louisiana Assembly on Schools.
-Nicole Nettleton, a Houma resident, who currently
works in the Parish Planning and Zoning Department
and as the owner of Virtus Enterprises, LLC. in Houma.
TEDA is a state-created organization with the purpose
of promoting, encouraging and participating in economic
development in the parish. Included in the agreement is
the Terrebonne Economic Development Foundation, which
is a non-profit organization that assists TEDA in carrying
out its objectives.

Entergy gets storm-ready for 2016 Hurricane Season
Weather forecasts released this spring differ in
their predictions for the 2016 tropical storm season.
Whether there are no storms, two storms or 10, Entergy
Louisiana stands ready to restore power to customers if
one strikes in the areas it serves.
Additionally, Entergy Louisiana offers a variety of
resources to help customers make emergency plans for
the season, along with the tools needed to stay informed
about outages and restoration activities when a storm
occurs.
“Those of us who live in Gulf Coast states know that
the chance of living through a hurricane strike in any given
year is very real,” said Dennis Dawsey, vice president of
customer service for Louisiana. “The areas we serve are
prone to some of the most severe weather in the United
States, from tornadoes to ice storms to hurricanes. That’s
why we have a plan of continuous preparation, training
and action that we call ‘Operation: Storm Ready’.”
“With that kind of experience we stand ready to
help our customers, too,” Dawsey added.
Being storm ready starts with monitoring weather
threats 24/7, 365 days a year. When a weather threat
is confirmed, past experience, weather forecasts and
computer modeling help Entergy form early predictions

regarding the number of power outages a storm could
cause and how long restoration might take.
Those predictions include Entergy’s proven ability
to bring in and sustain thousands of restoration workers
from around the country. All of which is done with the
safety of both workers and customers at the forefront of
plans and actions.
Assessing damage, deploying personnel to the
right place with the right materials and restoring power
include processes Entergy continually plans and improves,
thanks to its constant preparation and training.
“All of these critical functions are demonstrated
and evaluated during our annual storm drill to ensure
we are tested and prepared to respond prior to hurricane
season” said Dawsey. This year’s storm drill took place
on May 18.
As important as the actual restoration itself,
however, is the company’s ability to keep customers informed.
“We have an app available for either iPhone or
Android products at entergy.com/app/,” Dawsey said.
“You can use this to report outages or check on the status
of power on
the street at your home or business.”
Entergy’s View Outages site includes maps of the
service area, showing where outages are located and
information about restoration progress.
“One of our more popular communications tools
is our ability to send text messages about storm and restoration efforts,” Dawsey said. “You can sign up by texting
REG to 368374.”
The crown jewel of Entergy’s tools for customers
may well be the Entergy Storm Center. The website is a

John Deere Thibodaux awarded for safety commitment
Francis Richard, factory manager at Thibodaux values
safety above all else. “We truly believe that before we do
anything in our factory, safety is the one thing we must
get right every day. The leadership team believes that if
it’s our number one priority, then we will do well in all
other aspects of our work.”
That commitment to employees
has resulted in tremendous safety
accomplishments at Thibodaux and
caught the attention of several national organizations.
In April, the Thibodaux team received two safety awards: the OSHA
Voluntary Protection Program (VPP)
Star of Excellence Award for injury
prevention and the Award of Merit from the National Safety
Council, South Louisiana Chapter. This second award is
based on how the company’s safety record compares
to similar manufacturers in Southern Louisiana. These
awards recognize the great lengths the team has gone
to mitigate safety risks and engage employees in safety.
Richard continued, “Safety doesn’t happen in a short
6
period of time. It all begins with leadership, every single
day, demonstrating that safety is their highest priority.
It means that employees and their families can feel good
that their loved one will return home uninjured every day.”
For safety manager, David Folse, it’s about the employees, but also the customers.
“Our employees are our greatest resource. They have the skill,
knowledge, work ethic, and flexibility to build the best agriculture and construction products
in the world. They can’t do that
if they are injured at work or at
home. We built upon the existing
culture of caring for each other
and empowered the employees to focus on continuous
risk reduction instead of injury rate numbers. This is not
easy but the results are worth it.”
John Deere Thibodaux in Louisiana, produces Sugarcane Harvesters, Sugarcane Loaders, Scrapers, and Tractor
Loaders.

SCIA offers Job Match services to member companies
South Central Industrial Association, SCIA, has developed
SCIA JOB MATCH, which is a web-enabled application that
will provide SCIA membership employee assistance.
The program will allow SCIA member companies who
have experienced layoffs to list those people (with their
permission) and their skills on the SCIA JOB MATCH site. It
will also allow SCIA member companies who are seeking employees to have direct access to those available employees.
Each member company will be setup with an account
upon completing a form that must be returned to the SCIA
office. This is to assure that ONLY SCIA member companies
obtain access to the SCIA JOB MATCH site.
Once the form is returned, the participating SCIA member
company will receive an email welcome letter, which will
provide a link to log on to the SCIA JOB MATCH site. The
member company account will allow the company to list
the designated employees by job and allow SCIA member
companies who are seeking employees to search for available
employees by position and skills. Resume’s and/or work
skills can be posted with permission of the employee, as well.
Member companies who sign up for this new SCIA
service will automatically be notified of available appli-
cants of interest.
The SCIA member companies with SCIA JOB MATCH accounts will also be able to access the site through the SCIA
website at www.sciaonline.net.
The concept for the SCIA JOB MATCH was developed
during the 2015 SCIA board retreat where it was determined
that the organization should address the issue of people
being laid off. The response to that was the development
of SCIA JOB MATCH under the direction of Jason Bergeron
with Technology Professionals. The program, which is part
of the SCIA Workforce Development initiative, was funded
through the SCIA fundraising events that includes the annual
banquet and golf tournament.
The purpose of SCIA, a non-profit organization of primarily industrial firms, is to provide a vehicle for business
people to address issues indicative of industry in the bayou
region. The organization is dedicated to the improvement
of the industrial climate of our area and the energy related
industry. The organization remains focused on creating a
better understanding of the oil and gas industry’s needs
and concerns.

Chet Morrison Contractors introduces
waterless riser cleaning tool: MUDBUG
Chet Morrison Contractors announces a new tool for
cleaning drilling and production risers that is safer, faster
and more cost-effective than current methods. MUDBUG
is an air-actuated, self-propelled device that uses oscillating brushes to clean debris build-up inside risers,
moving through the length of the riser and back out again.
“MUDBUG is a giant leap forward in deepwater riser
cleaning,” said John DeBlieux, vice president of Deepwater Riser Services for Chet Morrison Contractors. “It’s
not only more cost-effective and safer, it’s also better for
the environment and customer’s bottom line.”
Unlike other methods, MUDBUG does not require
high-pressure water to remove the rust, scale and drilling mud that builds up in drilling and production risers.
Instead, MUDBUG uses only 120-psi air to operate, thus
eliminating the problem of water disposal and risk associated with high-pressure washing. MUDBUG can be
operated by a two- or three-man crew instead of the
usual five-man team required to clean a riser. Because
the device is portable, it can easily be transported via
plane or helicopter to any remote location either onshore
or offshore. Its small job box (two feet by four feet) takes
up very little space, making it ideal for rigs or other
offshore operations. When operational, MUDBUG is approximately three feet long and 19 inches in diameter.
The “MUDBUG” name was inspired by the crawfish,
which pushes back mud and debris to make its home. It
has been successfully tested and used in the offshore
environment by major drilling contractors. The device
comes with an extra motor and all brushes, and is available exclusively through Chet Morrison Contractors in
the United States, Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean and Trinidad.

Thibodaux city councilman named CEO of
Houma company before his 30th birthday
By: Jacob Batte Staff Writer, The Courier
Eric Tabor knew he wanted to
run a company and get involved in
local politics.
But he didn’t think he’d be
doing both by the time he was 29
years old. The Thibodaux resident was recently named CEO at
Pipeline Construction and Maintenance in Houma a little more than
a year after he was elected to the
Thibodaux City Council.
Getting a head start on work isn’t anything new
for Tabor, who doing graphic design work as young
as 14 years old. It was around that time that he was
first introduced Michael Fesi II, who was immediately
impressed by Tabor. The two would grow close over
the next 15 years as Tabor joined PCM, owned by Fesi’s
father, Mike Fesi, Sr. Tabor started part-time while he
was in college at Nicholls State and moved up to fulltime after graduation. Tabor is a “problem solver” with an entrepreneurial
spirit, Fesi II said. The average worker knows the ‘how’
to do their job, but few understand the ‘why’ behind
it, he said. Tabor understands the ‘why.’
Three years ago, PCM was facing tough times. Fesi
II and Tabor worked together to lift the company up.
Two things rose out of that effort. First, the company
became more efficient and offered new services. Now,
they’re doing well even as the Houma-Thibodaux
economy is amidst a downturn. Second, the Fesi family
saw someone that they could trust to take over their
company. “I wouldn’t imagine anyone better to fill that
role,” Fesi II said. “Seeing him grow and expand and
taking on new responsibilities, his mannerisms and
professionalism has always been there, but I’ve seen
him grow and mature as a person.” Don Hingle appointed to GNO, Inc.
Don Hingle, Executive VP and Reional CEO of Business Frist Bank has been appointed to the Greater New
Orleans, Inc. board of directors for a 3-year term. He
will be serving on the Public Policy Committee (which
will support oil and gas issues) and the Coastal Restoration Ad Hoc Committee which works closely with
Terrebonne and Lafourche on those issues.

Bollinger Shipyards awarded contract for
U.S. Coast Guard cutters
Bollinger announced a new contract to build 26
Sentinel Class Fast Response Cutters for the U.S. Coast
Guard. Lockport-based Bollinger Shipyards has been
awarded a new multimillion-dollar contract to build
phase two of the Sentinel Class Fast Response Cutters
for the U.S. Coast Guard, the company announced today.
The FRC, the newest generation of USCG patrol
cutters, is a replacement for the Coast Guard Island
Class cutters that Bollinger built over three decades
ago. “We are pleased with this award to build 26 FRC
Coast Guard cutters. Our relationship with the Coast
Guard began over 30 years ago and we are proud to
continue building on that legacy. This is a testament to the skilled Louisiana based
team of Bollinger employees,” Bollinger’s CEO and
President Ben Bordelon said in a news release. “It’s
great news,” he said. “It’s going to keep a lot of our
citizens employed and bring a lot of income to the
area.” Bollinger Shipyards has built more than 130
U.S. Coast Guard vessels over the past 30 years. Since
2008, the company has won $1.4 billion in contracts
for 30 Fast-Response Cutters. The company also has
built gambling boats, dredgers and support vessels for
the remotely operated vehicles used for deepwater
projects, as well as tugs.
In December 2014, Ben Bordelon, the chief operating officer of Bollinger Shipyards, and the family that
owns Edison Chouest Offshore acquired all of the assets
and stock of Bollinger — a transaction involving two
powerhouses in Louisiana’s maritime industry. Bordelon took over from his uncle Donald “Boysie” Bollinger,
chairman and CEO, and Boysie’s son, Chris Bollinger,
president and board member.
Edison Chouest, which builds and operates boats
for the oil industry in the Gulf and worldwide, is Houma-Thibodaux’s largest employer, with thousands of
employees in Terrebonne and Lafourche parishes.

NLLD will help with Morganza to the Gulf
levee project in Lafourche
The North Lafourche Levee District will provide equipment to assist the South Lafourche Levee District and Terrebonne Levee and Conservation District with construction
and mitigation for two segments of the Morganza-to-theGulf Hurricane Protection Project from Pointe Aux Chene
to Cut Off.
The NLLD deepwater excavator will be used to support
the dredging of Grand Bayou so that dredge material can
be used to build up the first lift for Reach K of the levee
system, closest to Pointe Aux Chene. The excavator will also
be used to create marsh terracing as part of the wetlands
mitigation required for Reaches K and L, which connect
to the South Lafourche Levee System.
“These two segments of Morganza will be very important in providing hurricane flood protection to the western
side of Lafourche, from Larose to Thibodaux. Anything
NLLD can do to create these extra ‘hurdles’ to protect our
own levees from storm surge is beneficial to our community,” says NLLD Executive Director Dwayne Bourgeois.
“We are delighted to be able to help our neighbors with
this critical project,” he adds. Work on Morganza Levee
Reaches K and L in Lafourche Parish should begin this year.
