Board Change
Rockhopper Exploration plc (AIM: RKH), the oil and gas company
with key interests in the North Falkland Basin and the Greater
Mediterranean region, announces that Fiona MacAulay, Chief
Operating Officer, has advised the Board of her intention to leave
the Company on 4 July 2017 in order to accept the role of Chief
Executive Officer of AIM-listed Echo Energy plc.
Prior to her departure, Fiona will hand-over her
responsibilities to the senior members of the technical team who
will assume day-to-day management of operational and technical
matters from July 2017. Namely, Alun Griffiths (Petroleum
Engineering Manager and Falkland Asset Manager), Lucy Williams
(Geoscience Manager) and Paul Culpin (Development Manager). Alun
has been working with Rockhopper since 2010, Lucy and Paul since
2011 and all three have significant industry experience in their
respective fields.
David McManus, Chairman of Rockhopper, commented:
"Fiona has been a key member of the Rockhopper Board since 2013.
She leaves Rockhopper as the largest acreage holder in a basin
which we remain confident will be proven to contain a billion
barrels of oil."
Sam Moody, Chief Executive, commented:
"Fiona leaves with our thanks for her very significant
contribution to the business over the years and we wish her all the
best for her new role. Rockhopper has a hugely busy year ahead of
us with FEED on our flagship Sea Lion project substantially
advanced and discussions on a range of commercial and financing
matters ramping up.
"Our very capable technical team continues to screen multiple
M&A opportunities as we pursue further growth of our Greater
Med business. Given the depth and experience of our in-house
capability, we will re-assign work to our existing resource and I
look forward to continuing our work programme with the team here at
Rockhopper."
