Board Changes
London, 17 July 2023 - Serica Energy plc (AIM: SQZ), a British
independent upstream oil and gas company, is delighted to announce
that Kaat Van Hecke and Sian Lloyd Rees have each accepted an
invitation to join Serica's Board as Independent Non-Executive
Directors with immediate effect. Upon joining the Board, Kaat will
be appointed to chair the HSE Committee and the Reserves Committee,
and Sian will be joining the Remuneration and Sustainability
Committees. After the AGM on 29 June 2023 Tony Craven Walker
retired and David Latin took over as Chairman. The Company also
announces that Trevor Garlick is stepping down as an Independent
Non-Executive Director with effect from today's date.
Kaat has over 25 years of experience in the petrochemical and
upstream oil and gas business. She has held a variety of positions
with ExxonMobil, Shell, OMV, and Nostrum Oil & Gas in Europe,
Nigeria, Russia and Kazakhstan. Kaat is an experienced
Non-Executive Director who currently holds Independent
Non-Executive Director positions and chairs Board Committees at
Glover Gas & Power B.V/Axxela Limited, the largest private
sector natural gas distributor in West Africa, and at Trinity
Exploration & Production Plc which is focussed on Trinidad and
Tobago.
Sian has over 30 years experience in Oil & Gas, IT and
renewable Energy industries. Her career includes roles at
Halliburton Corporation, Oracle Corporation and Aker Group, across
multiple geographies. Currently Sian is UK Managing Director for
Aker ASA's Mainstream Renewable Power business which is responsible
for growing a renewable energy portfolio in offshore wind and
hydrogen. She is also a Non-Executive Director and co-chair of OEUK
Ltd, a Non-Executive Director for the UKs Net Zero Technology
Centre Ltd, and a Non-Executive Director for Aberdeen Harbour Ltd
(Port of Aberdeen).
David Latin, Chairman of Serica commented:
"Trevor Garlick joined the Board of Serica Energy plc just after
the acquisition of the Bruce, Keith and Rhum assets was completed,
he has chaired our Committees for HSE and Reserves throughout as
well as sitting on other Board Committees, and we have benefited
greatly from his broad understanding of our industry and his deep
knowledge and experience of offshore production operations and
reservoir management. We wish him all the very best for the future
.
I am absolutely delighted to welcome Kaat Van Hecke and Sian
Lloyd Rees to the Serica Energy plc Board following the recent
retirements of Tony Craven Walker and Trevor Garlick. Kaat brings
wide-ranging technical and operational experience in the
exploration & production sector, from very large companies to
small companies in multiple geographies, as a petroleum engineer,
an executive leader and a Non-Executive Director. Sian augments and
extends the overall experience set represented on the Board with
her background in the supply chain, digital technology and the
energy transition and brings perspectives gained as a Non-Executive
Director for important industry funded government-facing
organisations in the UK. I am very much looking forward to the
contribution and support both Sian and Kaat will provide as we
build on the strong financial and operating capabilities whch
Serica has established whilst we continue to look at new
opportunities to deliver growth for our shareholders. "
