Antoinette Rand: Oil Executive and Horse Lover
Antoinette Rand is a woman of many talents and is quite accomplished.
In addition to being an executive in the oil and gas industry she is also a leading
competitor in the sport of horse reigning. Her passion for horses has led her to
become involved in a number of organizations that are dedicated to them. All of
which needs to be fit in around a very demanding job.
Antoinette Rand is an executive in the oil and gas business with Sentry Energy Production.
This is a company that takes advantage of the opportunities that the bigger players
in the industry are not all that interested in. The main strategy that they use
is to search for oil in areas that are near existing oil fields. The idea is that
if there is a large reservoir in the area there is probably another one nearby.
Clearly this reduces the costs of finding the oil. Even more important since other
companies are already drilling in the area the infrastructure that is necessary
has already been built which really lowers the cost of producing the oil.
In addition to their basic strategy for finding oil Rand and Sentry Energy have
another card up their sleeve, they find old wells and put them back into production.
These wells are obviously easy to find since they had to be listed on a map when
the claim was made. More importantly since they have already been in production
the infrastructure is already there as well. This technique works because the technology
for getting the oil out of the ground is so much better than it used to be.
A big part of Antoinette Rand's job at Sentry is to find investors to work with
the company. As a small business they need to work with partners in a joint venture
when they are opening a new field. This can be a great investment opportunity and
it can really diversify an investment portfolio. However it is still necessary to
pitch to potential investors to get them interested. This is something that Rand
has proven to be quite adept at as the company has attracted quite a few joint venture
partners.
While energy development is the way that Antoinette Rand earns her living her real
passion is horse reining. This is a competitive sport in which the horses movements
are choreographed. By far her favourite type of horse for this type of competition
is the American quarter horse. In fact she has such a passion for them that she
is heavily involved in the American Quarter Horse Association. For
Antoinette Rand AQHA is her
most passionate cause, it is a group that is dedicated to the breeding
and training of quarter horses. She believes that they are the best choice for horse
reigning so she takes quite an interest in them.
