Our Team
Gregory A. Boyles, Managing Director and CEO
Gregory A Boyles is the Managing Director and CEO of New Horizon Global, Inc.
Greg is a successful oil and gas exploration and production executive with a
track record of being on the leading edge of new technology and plays. Greg
began his career in 1980 as a drilling and completion field engineer in Central Texas.
In 1985, Greg founded New Horizon Exploration, Inc. He was an early adopter of horizontal
drilling practices and drilled some of the first horizontal wells in the Delaware Basin,
Fort Worth Basin, Denver-Julesburg Basin Niobrara formation and Williston Basin Bakken
formation. In 1999 Greg setup a Joint Venture with the National Oil Company of
Trinidad and Tobago (Petrotrin) to manage and complete a shallow oil project.
In this endeavor, the company drilled one hundred vertical wells and ten horizontal
wells to develop a field with 80 million barrels in place. Greg has several patents
to his name, primarily in the area of production optimization with AI to reduce
health safety and environmental risk while optimizing production.
Chandrika Ramsubhag, Director and CFO
Chan Ramsubhag is the company's Chief Financial Officer. A graduate of UWI with an accounting degree.
Chan has been with the company since 2004 and is a key officer and director of the company.

cquisition targets. He has Joint Lease Operations for Working Interest Accounts set-up on Wolfe-Pack oil
and gas software to provide detailed reporting to interest holders. Chan is highly respected by those within
his community, church and within our organization.
Durjordan Ramroop, HSE Officer
Durjordan Ramroop is the VP of Health Safety and Environmental (HSE). A graduate of Cipriani College of Labor in Occupational
Health and Safety. As the company’s HSE officer, Durjordan overseas among other things, field site supervision, conducting HSSE audit training,
toolbox talks, accident and incident investigations, equipment and power tool procedures, JSAs and development of risk assessments.
Durjordan not only talks the talk but puts on a pair of gloves and works side by side with the men in the field.
Dr. Kemick, Ph.D. in Geology, Geophysics, Mathematics Senior Advisor to CEO.
A graduate of Texas A & M University in College Station, Texas in 1964. After serving as a1st Lieutenant in the U.S. Air Force as a
fighter pilot, Jerome was an onshore and offshore exploration geologist for Continental during the first decade of his career discovering
multiple fields. Recent studies with Greg include regional tectonics of Texas in relation to localized fracture patterns of faults associated
with historically produced shallow oil accumulations. This work has led to the identification of areas where commercial shallow oil production can be developed today.
Jerome is not only an originator of oil and gas prospects; he evaluates reserves for banks, provides consultation in acquisition of natural gas storage areas,
invents and holds multiple patents involving medical procedures, shot-shell seismic technology, and methods applicable to the drilling industry.
Gary Weir, Lead GeoScientist for various plays
Mr. Weir has 37 years of experience as a geoscientist in the oil industry working many basins in the USA and South America. He began his
career in 1977 with Exxon in South Texas working onshore Gulf Coast development and trend exploration and then moved to south American to
develop prospects in Trinidad and Colombia. After retiring from BP (Amoco) in 2003, Gary worked on projects in the US Onshore, Colombia,
Trinidad and other areas in Latin America. Gary uses IHS Kingdom Suite software for technical work. As a partner, Mr. Weir recently
helped build a company in Colombia (Kappa Energy Holdings KEH - 2003 to 2008), where he served as a Chief Technical Officer (CTO) and
helped KEH acquire 9 Blocks in 5 basins before it was sold to Pacific Rubiales in 2008 for $100+MM. Production at the point of sale was >4,000
bopd and 4.5 mmcfg/d.
Robert Snyder, Senior Smart Pumper Software Engineer
Bob has been Greg’s friend since 1977. An investor with Greg in many endeavors over the years, Bob is the main brain behind the development
of the Smart Pumper technology over the past ten years with Greg. A graduate of Southern Cal. and a man with many degrees including 98.6 at 80.
Grounded by years of software and hardware development experience with the likes of Rockwell, Spectradyne, Inc., Xerox, Recognition Equipment, Johnson
Yokogawa, our Military, and others he is a key advisor and special project partner with a runway he can leave the ground with.
James P. Oberkircher, Senior Engineering Advisor and Business Development Partner
Throughout his career, Jim has been at the forefront of innovative technical development and applications; from the early days of horizontal drilling with
“Nortrak” double-tilt mud motor (mid 1980’s) to the latest Rotary Steerable Systems and complex drainage architectures used to drill horizontal wells through
their completions. Some key early technologies include: Nortrak DTU Steerable Motor, Early Development of MWD, Early LWD systems, Horizontal drilling in the
Austin Chalk Rotary Steerable Systems – North Sea, Multilateral Systems and Complex Drainage Experience Profile: From the challenging deep-water projects such
as Troll and Heidrun of the North Sea to tropical onshore locations in Trinidad and the USA, Jim has been involved in projects of quite varied scope and complexities.
Size and Cap-Ex ranged from drilling and completing $350k shallow gas wells in the Rockies to $100MM projects such as the super deep-water Jack and St. Malo in the Gulf of Mexico.
Key projects: Early Deepwater Development in Green Canyon with Placid, Mars and Joliet – Gulf of Mexico, Troll oil-leg development – North Sea, Hamacha Heavy Oil Development – Venezuela,
Soldado Heavy Oil Multilaterals – Trinidad, Trinity-Inniss field rejuvenation – Trinidad, recent onshore development in Western Colorado and North Dakota. Jim has served as a Subject Matter
Expert covering “Directional Drilling” for Chevron. Jim and Greg began working together in 2007 in Trinidad.
