Hebron Parting Gift
Designed as a parting gift for employees leaving the Hebron Project, sculptor Jim Maunder has combined elements which will unmistakably remind the recipient of their time and experience on the project.
The silhouette of the Hebron rig isrepresented in laser cut stainless steel with etched detail that suggests its prominent features. Laser cutting was completed by C&W Industrial in Bay Bulls, on Newfoundland’s Southern Shore.
A glass iceberg and wave forms stand behind and in front of the rig, respectively, as reminders of the harsh yet beautiful conditions of the North Atlantic off the Newfoundland coast. These glass elements were cut by Water Jet at Memorial University’s Technical Services. Both C&W and Memorial have played prominent roles in the development of the offshore industry over the years.
This blue grey base is cut from 340 million year old ‘anhydrite’ collected SE of Stephenville. Anhydrite is precipitated on the seafloor when substantial evaporation occurs in restricted ocean basins under extremely hot and arid conditions. It is considered to be an important cap rock or ‘seal’ for hydrocarbons that occur in the thick, lower clastic sequences of the Bay St. George Carboniferous basin. The stone was cut by Meyer’s Minerals of Pasadena, Newfoundland.
