Susan Morrice, (Geologist) Founder & Chairperson Belize Natural Energy & Director at XJet Worldwide
Belfast born and Trinity College Dublin educated Susan Morrice is the Co-founder and Chairperson of Belize Natural Energy. She began her career as a frontier (wildcat) geologist, working all over the world (UK, Spain, Algeria, Asia, USA and Central America). Her work with Englishman, Sir Ian Rankin, took her to Belize where she fell in love with the people and the Country.
After 15 years of exploration, finding no oil, Susan and her business partner, Mike Usher, attended a specialized seminar on Human Potential and the power of the mind. Through utilizing what they learned, Susan and Mike did what it took and on 24 June 2005 struck oil on their first well.
Since then BNE and Educo, its Sustainable Business Model, has become a global oil industry beacon that has made a real difference in the Country of Belize and is sought after by many leaders, including those from Mexico, Guatemala, UAE and the USA.
It was through Susan’s gift of exploration, and an understanding of the power of untapped human potential that she was able to find oil where it was believed that there was none by all the Majors in the Oil industry.
Susan has a passion for sharing the steps she took for the transformational Vision of Belize to become a reality. She feels everyone can take these steps and bring out their visionary capacity to change the world.

Each person has something inside them which if allowed to flourish in the right environment will provide enlightenment and add value to many billions of other people. Playing small does nothing for you and does nothing for the human race. We all have dreams & aspirations sometimes we have setbacks sometimes things go well. But regardless of events that occur if one taps into the power of their mind they will find an energy and a guidance that if listened to without the outside noise & distractions one will go on to inspire others and possibly change the world for generations to come.
The Science of Geology has provided our race with many blessings from the Sun which created the processes which allowed fossil fuels to be created in the first place to the Sun & Moon which create wave energy & the Sun which is responsible for Solar Energy & Wind Energy which is responsible for and the practitioners of the science.
The power of relationships and networking, its frequently not about what you know, or who you know, but sometimes it’s about who knows you. When you engage with your community in a service oriented fashion people notice. Your business & social networks if developed well, will not only bring you great friendships and alliances but will open doors to business that you would not have gotten without being in the right place at the right time. Remember its always about serving first.
