VENTURE PRODUCTION plc 
Board and Management Change 
 
 
The Board of Venture Production plc (Venture) announces that Jon Murphy, Chief 
Operating Officer (COO), has given notice of his resignation in order to develop 
his career outside the Group. It is planned that Jon will step down from the 
Board at the Annual General Meeting in May and will remain in employment with 
the Company until the end of the year. The Board is also very pleased to 
announce that, in a planned succession move, Jonathan Roger, currently General 
Manager Producing Assets, will replace Jon as COO and be appointed to the Board 
of Venture Production plc. 
 
 
Commenting today, Mike Wagstaff, Chief Executive of Venture, said: 
 
 
"I have had the pleasure of working extremely closely with Jon for the last 10 
years. Since he joined Venture in March 1999, Jon has been a very important part 
of the Venture team that has built the Company from a virtual start-up operating 
onshore in Trinidad to one of the largest and most successful independent E&P 
companies in the North Sea. On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank Jon 
for his huge contribution to our success over the last 10 years and wish him 
good luck in the future. 
 
 
I am also delighted to be able to announce Jonathan's appointment as COO. 
Jonathan has 17 years experience in the oil and gas industry and a broad 
commercial and technical background. Having joined Venture in 2003 he led the 
Company's southern North Sea gas business, including expansion into the Dutch 
sector, following the acquisition of CH4. In late 2007, Jonathan's role was 
expanded to cover all of Venture's producing business units in the North Sea. He 
is already a member of our senior leadership team and I am looking forward to 
working with him in his new role." 
 
 
There are no disclosures required under 9.6.13 of the Listing Rules of the 
Financial Services Authority in connection with Jonathan Roger's appointment as 
an Executive Director.
