Appointment of highly experienced Operations Manager to oversee drilling of TLP-103
As announced in the Company's Half-Yearly Report of 26 September 2017, Mr Alain Guiraud has been appointed on a fixed project contract basis as Operations Manager to oversee the drilling of TLP-103. Mr Guiraud will be based in the Congo for the duration of this project.
During a career spanning 45 years, Mr Guiraud has held senior operational positions with several leading oil and gas companies such as Chevron, Elf, Petrobras, BP, Shell, Texaco, Phillips and ENIEPSA, on both offshore and onshore projects around the world. He has extensive experience of the Congo, including as Country Manager for Halliburton, the leading oil services provider, as General Manager and Operations Manager for SFP/SNPC, the Congolese NOC, overseeing onshore drilling projects, and as Country Manager for Caroil, an oil drilling company wholly owned by Maurel & Prom, the Paris-based independent oil group. As a result, he has excellent knowledge and experience of working on onshore fields that are close to and share the same geology with Tilapia.
Mr Guiraud is working closely with Mr Gerard Bourgoin, the Directeur General of the Company's wholly owned subsidiary Petro Kouilou, through which AAOG holds its 56 per cent interest in Tilapia, and with David Sefton, Executive Chairman of AAOG.
