Gaffney, Cline & Associates
Peter Gaffney and Ben Cline, both petroleum engineers working in oil and gas in South America, found they both shared a dream to have their own consultancy. They believed that the oil and gas industry could benefit from independent technical and management expertise, such as suggestions on how to improve production, where to drill and how to be more efficient. In 1962 they founded Gaffney, Cline & Associates (GaffneyCline) in Trinidad, establishing what would become a leading international oil and gas consultancy with offices in Houston, London, Singapore, Buenos Aires, Sydney and Russia. While actively trying to secure clients and contracts, the founders developed the ideas and principles that would guide the success of the company going forward: excellence, effort and integrity. They also felt that GaffneyCline must be present in the growing regions and basins that were strategic for the industry and could offer rounded technical, operational and commercial expertise.
