His record of accomplishment at Intrepid and Serica and his wealth of experience in corporate finance and capital markets will be a real asset to the Company and shareholders alike.

“We look forward to leveraging their collective experience in the oil and gas sector to drive our plans for growth in 2016 and beyond. We have an exciting mix of exploration programmes in Egypt and significant development projects, the Gas Production Enhancement Agreement in Egypt and the Zora Gas Field project in the UAE. Hearne, Hill and Maclean will be key in supporting me and the rest of the team to ensure the successful delivery of these projects, especially during this period of global economic and oil price uncertainty.”
