I have this old leather bag that I carried around on my trips,
As I have traveled the world over as around I did often zip.
It has protected my valuables very well over the long years,

In 1989, Phillips Petroleum was investigating a project,
To develop inner coast gas well discoveries very quick,
Including an LNG (Liquified Natural Gas) Plant on the coast.
I was selected to lead a team of Engineers as the host.

To find a plant location along New Guinea coast line,
To locate a plant to process and ship the gas as LNG so fine.
