June 24, 2010As part of a major company shake-up,
Victoria Petroleum (Vicpet) is relocating its head office from Perth to Brisbane and has appointed Ian Davies as new Managing Director.
Davies will join Vicpet from QGC – a BG Group Business where he was a key member of the senior management team.
He had been Chief Financial Officer of Queensland Gas Company (QGC) since 2007 prior to the $5.6 billion acquisition by BG Group Plc and more recently was General Manager Business Development and General Manager Ports and Infrastructure for QGC.
Davies will be joined at Vicpet by Mike Herrington as General Manager Production and Operations and Steven Scott as General Manager Exploration.
Vicpet Chairman Denis Patten says the company is “extremely pleased” to have the new members on board.
“Mr Davies is an experienced executive and was critical to the stunning success of QGC. His commercial acumen and strategic skill set will be vital in leading Vicpet through the next exciting phase of growth,” Patten says.
“Likewise, the proven technical horsepower of Mr Herrington and Mr Scott will be extremely valuable to Vicpet in the next period as the Company looks to enhance and expand upon its solid asset base,” he says.
Davies, Herrington and Scott are expected to commence with Vicpet in late July.
Davies will take over from John Kopcheff who will remain on the board of Vicpet as an executive director responsible for business development and new projects.
